Book excerpt: This is an incredibly fictional tale approximately Twain's own existence, as he trips to California from the Nevada territory. He visits the Hawai'i, but back then, they call them the Sandwich Islands. The journey is a real-life ride that Twain made, but the activities and characters involve elements of fiction.The protagonist makes a decision to transport to Nevada with his brother, claiming he has secured a new job as the secretary for the governor. The reality is he is going to search for gold. They make it to Carson, where the protagonist right away acquaints himself with miners, who give him a few tools and take him on some preliminary claims, but they pan for gold and discover not anything. When the times turn to weeks, and the weeks to months, and there's nonetheless no signal of gold, the man makes a decision to take a task in Virginia. He can not forget the West, although, and after a few greater years, he moves to San Francisco, California.

The journey is a real-life ride that Twain made, but the activities and characters involve elements of fiction.The protagonist makes a decision to transport to Nevada with his brother, claiming he has secured a new job as the secretary for the governor.

When the times turn to weeks, and the weeks to months, and there's nonetheless no signal of gold, the man makes a decision to take a task in Virginia. He can not forget the West, although, and after a few greater years, he moves to San Francisco, California.There is not any gold for the man in California. The protagonist (presumably Twain himself) decides that in place of wasting his lifestyles seeking out gold, he'll in the end attempt to use his best skill in existence, his potential to spin a smart tale, and his uncanny ability to write down well.He works for Sacramento Union who sends the protagonist to the Sandwich Islands (now Hawai'i) to document approximately the islands in a sequence of published letters. He has no hassle finding charming stories to record, and he reviews on the lavish natural world of the islands, and approximately the island's unique and delightful cultural historical past. Eventually, he receives homesick and returns from his epic stay at the island. He ends with a reminder that if you want to make a accountable, nicely-adjusted person out of 1's self, one has to depart their domestic and make it somewhere they have by no means been before.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The celebrated author of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and Adventures of Huckleberry Finn mixes fact and fiction in a rousing travelogue that serves as "a portrait of the artist as a young adventurer."* In 1861, young Mark Twain found himself adrift as a newcomer in the Wild West, working as a civil servant, silver prospector, mill worker, and finally a reporter and traveling lecturer. Roughing It is the hilarious record of those early years traveling from Nevada to California to Hawaii, as Twain tried his luck at anything and everything--and usually failed. Twain's encounters with tarantulas and donkeys, vigilantes and volcanoes, even Brigham Young, the Mormon leader, come to life with his inimitable mixture of reporting, social satire, and rollicking tall tales."

Book excerpt: As Brandon Sanderson’s #1 bestselling Skyward series celebrates its third volume, Cytonic, travel back in time to the origin of Cytonics in the novella Defending Elysium. Centuries before Spensa looked skyward from the planet Detritus—back on Old Earth before it was lost—Jason Write faced a crucial question: was humanity ready to join galactic society? When faster-than-light communications were discovered by a small telephone company in 2071, alien species such as the Tenasi and Varvax overheard them and came to visit Earth. Because the Phone Company controls all communications with the aliens, their operatives like Jason operate above the law. Now, on the space platform Evensong, one of the Phone Company’s scientists has gone missing before surfacing in a hospital with amnesia, and Jason is sent to investigate. Right as he arrives, the body of a murdered Varvax ambassador is discovered, sure to cause a galactic incident. Coln Abrams of the United Intelligence Bureau seizes the opportunity to investigate Jason as he deals with the crisis. This could be the UIB’s chance to discover the Phone Company’s secrets—how does FTL communication work, and what is Jason hiding? Winner of Spain’s UPC Award for Science Fiction in 2007.

Book excerpt: 'She's like no one I've ever met... She's like fire and water all at once.' Warwickshire, 1582. Agnes Hathaway, a natural healer, meets the Latin tutor, William Shakespeare. Drawn together by powerful but hidden impulses, they create a life together and make a family. As William moves to London to discover his place in the world of theatre, Agnes stays at home to raise their three children but she is the constant presence and purpose of his life. When the plague steals 11-year-old Hamnet from his loving parents, they must each confront their loss alone. And yet, out of the greatest suffering, something of extraordinary wonder is born. This new play based on Maggie O'Farrell's best-selling novel and adapted by award-winning playwright Lolita Chakrabarti (Life of Pi, Red Velvet, Hymn), pulls back a curtain on the imagined family life of the greatest writer in the English language. Hamnet is a love letter to passion, birth, grief and the magic of nature. This updated and revised edition was published to coincide with the West End transfer of the original RSC production in October 2023.
