It’s 600 pages you can read in a weekend, a supersized Slurpee that will satiate you and leave behind a sugar high. “ Plain Bad Heroines,” a queer historical meta-novel by Emily Danforth with at least a dozen layers of formal flourish, is joyfully and delightfully middlebrow I say this with reverence in my tone and adoration in my heart. But there are times when a reader wants nothing more, and nothing less, than an exquisitely plotted, winkingly crafted romp. A lot of perfectly fine books settle there, and we probably should leave them be. The term “middlebrow” still has the same stink about it as “mediocre.” Neither brain-tingling high-mindedness nor mass-market easy reading, too intensive for drugstore shelves but beneath the notice of online critical banter, middlebrow fiction is tucked away in a hidden valley between profit and prestige.

THE CLASSICS OF FAITH AND DEVOTION meet the growing hunger of many Christians for a deeper understanding and application of faith. Even today Real Christianity is a tool to soundly teach the tenets of evangelical faith and stir the conscience of all Christians. Real Christianity challenged the ruling classes of early nineteenth-century England more than any other work. As a young politician, William Wilberforce set out to do two things: rouse professing Christians to understand the nature of true faith, and bring about the end of slavery in England's colonies.

There was only the joy of frolicking through the thick green tangle of the palazzo’s maze of gardens, coaxing wild magic from the blooms beneath her fingertips and singing ancient songs about dragons. Growing up, the little princess never knew a moment’s sorrow. They lived in a castle by the sea, with soaring windows of Elvezian crystal that radiated the sun’s light from every angle, keeping each room bright and warm as summer even when snow fell low on the Apennini. Her father the king was handsome, her mother the queen was beautiful, and together, they were the ideal parents-loving, warm, doting.

He regarded Anna Karenina as his first true novel. Large sections, especially the later chapters, are philosophical discussions rather than narrative. Tolstoy said that the best Russian literature does not conform to standards and hence hesitated to classify War and Peace, saying it is "not a novel, even less is it a poem, and still less a historical chronicle". Portions of an earlier version, titled The Year 1805, were serialized in The Russian Messenger from 1865 to 1867 before the novel was published in its entirety in 1869. The novel chronicles the French invasion of Russia and the impact of the Napoleonic era on Tsarist society through the stories of five Russian aristocratic families. It is regarded as Tolstoy's finest literary achievement and remains an internationally praised classic of world literature. First published serially beginning in 1865, the work was rewritten and published in its entirety in 1869. Set during the Napoleonic Wars, the work mixes fictional narrative with chapters on history and philosophy. War and Peace is a literary work by Russian author Leo Tolstoy. |
