Excerpt from A Modern Mephistopheles, and A Whisper in the Dark "A haggard youth knelt before a little furnace, kindling a fire, with an expression of quiet desperation on his face, which made the simple operation strange and solemn. A pile of manuscript lay beside him, and in the hollow eyes that watched the white leaves burn was a tragic shadow, terrible to see,—for he was offering the first-born of heart and brain as sacrifice to a hard fate."
Book Synopsis A Long Fatal Love Chase by : Louisa May Alcott
Download or read book A Long Fatal Love Chase written by Louisa May Alcott and published by Dell. This book was released on 1996-12-02 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "I'd gladly sell my soul to Satan for a year of freedom," cries impetuous Rosamond Vivian to her callous grandfather. Then, one stormy night, a brooding stranger appears in her remote island home, ready to take Rosamond to her word. Spellbound by the mysterious Philip Tempest, Rosamond is seduced with promises of love and freedom, then spirited away on Tempest's sumptuous yacht. But she soon finds herself trapped in a web of intrigue, cruelty, and deceit. Desperate to escape, she flees to Italy, France, and Germany, from Parisian garret to mental asylum, from convent to chateau, as Tempest stalks every step of the fiery beauty who has become his obsession. A story of dark love and passionate obsession that was considered "too sensational" to be published in the authors lifetime, A Long Fatal Love Chase was written for magazine serialization in 1866, two years before the publication of Little Women. Buried among Louisa May Alcott's papers for more than a century, its publication is a literary landmark—a novel that is bold, timeless, and mesmerizing."

Download or read book A Modern Mephistopheles written by Louisa May Alcott and published by . This book was released on 2016-01-20 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Manipulation from a Faustian figure who also deals in drugs and fame? Seduction and adultery lounging alongside a climax of redemption? "A Modern Mephistopheles" is the stage for Louisa May Alcott's own secret passions. It is not the "pap" for children as Alcott said herself of her novel published anonymously in 1877. Not until after her death in 1888 was she revealed to the general public as its author. This is not the Alcott that you think about, but it is the dark story she wanted to write about in a male-dominated Victorian Age of veiled and hypocritical constraint, a woman's metamorphosis away from a cocoon made by men for men.

Book Synopsis A Modern Mephistopheles and Taming a Tartar by : Louisa May Alcott
Download or read book A Modern Mephistopheles and Taming a Tartar written by Louisa May Alcott and published by Praeger. This book was released on 1987-08-10 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Louisa May Alcott has always been associated with literature for young adults and children. Here is in effect a new book by the universally popular Alcott, a book that reveals an altogether different image of one of America's best-loved authors. A Modern Mephistopheles began as a rejected sensational novel and was revised by Alcott for anonymous publication in 1877. Its subject, style, and language mark radical deviations from those expected of Alcott. Taming a Tartar is a newly discovered Alcott thriller. Originally published as a serialization in Frank Leslie's Illustrated Magazine, this astounding page-turner highlights Alcott's feminists leanings. This unique book marks the first general printing of an Alcott story and the first reprinting in some 75 years of a neglected Alcott novel. Both works are closely analyzed in the detailed introduction by Madeleine B. Stern.

Book Synopsis Lost in a Pyramid, or the Mummy's Curse by : Louisa May Alcott
Download or read book Lost in a Pyramid, or the Mummy's Curse written by Louisa May Alcott and published by Lindhardt og Ringhof. This book was released on 2022-03-02 with total page 8 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This fascinating tale marks a milestone in world literature as being one of the first examples of the ‘mummy’s curse’ narrative. It follows Paul Forsyth and the older professor Niles as they explore ancient Egyptian ruins, haplessly disturbing the ancient peace of a powerful sorceress’ tomb. Upon his return home, Forsyth will present his young fiancée with an ancient souvenir from his travels, which unbeknown to him will have deathly consequences. It is a captivating and haunting tale, furthering Alcott’s work with the ‘femme fatale’ narrative, in a story that is significant in world literature. This story is perfect for anyone who loved Brendan Fraser’s ‘The Mummy’, just with a more serious, but equally enjoyable thrill. Louisa May Alcott (1832-1888) was an author, abolitionist and proud feminist. Her family suffered financially while she was growing up and so she was forced to take on multiple jobs in her youth to help provide for her family. Her writing became her outlet, forming her ideas and beliefs in the empowerment of women and people in to literature that reverberates to this day. Her most notable works include "Little Women", which is now a movie starring Saoirse Ronan and Timothée Chalamet, its sequel ‘Little Men’ and ‘An Old Fashioned Girl’.
