Excerpt from The Malady of the Ideal Seldom had we felt so grave and sad a responsibility. We saw plainly how for a little While our own pride and care had given the flowers a false en couragement. With a little eye for order we had thwarted the abounding confusion of nature. We had given our strength to the roses, made of them instruments for asserting our own predominance, and after taking upon ourselves the responsi bility of their unnatural splendour we had forsaken them. Then the commonest things, exuberant and blind, had brought back the wilderness. The wilderness - nature's order rather than ours. Yes! According to some vast system of proportions, some infinite perspective. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Information and Directions for Travellers on the Continent I will now close this preface by saying, that, in the h0pe of being serviceable to those of my compatriots, who, in consequence of pul monary complaints, are compelled to exchange their native climate for the mild temperature of Italy, I have ventured to make a few observations relative to health, and the result of twelve years expe ricuce; during the greater part of which period my time and thoughts were chiefly occupied by endeavours to mitigate the renderings of those most dear to me: and highly gratified should I feel if the little knowledge I have been able to collect could so far inform Travellers, as to guard them against those serious inconveniences which too generally retard, and not unfrequently prevent, the reco very of consumptive persons.

How did two teenagers brutally murder an innocent child...and why? And how did their brilliant lawyer save them from the death penalty in 1920s Chicago? Written by a prolific master of narrative nonfiction, this is a compulsively readable true-crime story based on an event dubbed the "crime of the century." In 1924, eighteen-year-old college students Nathan Leopold and Richard Loeb made a decision: they would commit the perfect crime by kidnapping and murdering a child they both knew. But they made one crucial error: as they were disposing of the body of young Bobby Franks, whom they had bludgeoned to death, Nathan's eyeglasses fell from his jacket pocket. Multi-award-winning author Candace Fleming depicts every twist and turn of this harrowing case--how two wealthy, brilliant young men planned and committed what became known as the crime of the century, how they were caught, why they confessed, and how the renowned criminal defense attorney Clarence Darrow enabled them to avoid the death penalty. Following on the success of such books as The Rise and Fall of Charles Lindbergh and The Family Romanov, this acclaimed nonfiction writer brings to heart-stopping life one of the most notorious crimes in our country's history.

Anthony Trollope's 'He Knew He Was Right' is a classic novel that delves into the complexities of marriage, jealousy, and sanity in Victorian society. The book follows the unraveling of Louis Trevelyan's life as his irrational jealousy causes him to make decisions that have far-reaching consequences for himself and his family. Trollope's narrative style is rich in detail, providing a vivid portrayal of the characters' inner struggles and the societal expectations that shape their actions. The novel is a timeless exploration of the human psyche and the destructive power of unchecked emotions in relationships. Set against the backdrop of the Victorian era, Trollope's work offers a compelling glimpse into the moral dilemmas faced by individuals in a rigidly structured society. Readers will find themselves immersed in a gripping story that raises thought-provoking questions about love, trust, and the limits of rationality.
