Gregory Edwards follows up last year's 'Rotten Rhymes' with 'We're All In the Same Boat,' another brilliant little gem of contemporary verse.

"The best things in an artist's work are so much a matter of intuition, that there is much to be said for the point of view that would altogether discourage intellectual inquiry into artistic phenomena on the part of the artist." Thus writes Harold Speed in the very first line of his introduction to the book in which deconstructs the process of drawing by subjecting it to lucid intellectual inquiry. Published in 1913, "The Practice and Science of Drawing" balances its practical advice with...

Contains Active Table of Contents (HTML) and in the end of book include a bonus link to the free audiobook. Cervantes wrote that the first chapters were taken from "the archives of La Mancha", and the rest were translated from an Arabic text by the Moorish author Cide Hamete Benengeli. This metafictional trick appears to give a greater credibility to the text, implying that Don Quixote is a real character and that the events related truly occurred several decades prior to the recording of ...

This volume collects the complete works of Edgar Allan Poe (Wikipedia). It started out as a restructuring and reformatting of the 1903 “Raven Edition” of his works—and then it grew.I have rearranged the texts according to genres in the order of first publications (though still using the later revised versions). I added all the stories, poems, essays, and some miscellanea that were missing in the “Raven Edition”. Thus, you’l...
