Io non ho, qui a Napoli, con chi sfogare certe mie piccole pene, che mi pare abbiano tutta la buona intenzione di rimanersene meco alloggiate, in questa cameretta mia solitaria. Non ho stretto amicizia con nessuno, apposta per non dare a nessuno il modo di subitamente allontanarsi da me per qualche...

Norah and Wally—now Mr. and Mrs. Meadows—have celebrated their wedding at Billabong and are on their honeymoon, touring around the countryside. They arrive at a strange, hidden spot in the hills, which Norah christens, ‘Horseshoe Valley’. Here adventure comes. As they explore the rocks and...

Billabong homestead lay calm and peaceful in the slanting rays of the sum that crept down the western sky. The red roofs were half hidden in the surrounding trees—pine and box and mighty blue gums towering above the tenderer green of the orchard, and the wide-flung tendrils of the Virginia creeper...

A terribly dry summary of early Canada to the time of Champlain, it comes complete with the casually racist language of the early twentieth century in the sections concerning First Nations peoples.

A country of dry frost in winter, and of fruitful heat in summer, with numerous delightful climates in between—this is the rising nation, Canada. And of a similar strange mixture are its people, at once the most hard-working and yet most hopeful of any people upon earth, in the mind of him who deeply...

Scores of men and women died daily in London, but on this day of days one of them had died in the very midst of a crowd and the cause of his death was a dagger piercing his heart. Death had become something very real.

Méléagre naquit dans une cité blanche et verte, parmi les palmiers, les eaux vives, à Atthis, nous dit-il. Or, il ne s’appelait pas Méléagre, et Atthis est une ville qui n’a jamais existé. Il était Syrien, il était Israélite, comme Heinrich Heine, à qui il faut le comparer. On...
