Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The short tale "The Sword of Damocles" by Anna Katharine Green is based on a myth from ancient Greece. The protagonist of the tale is a courtier by the name of Damocles who is often extolling the extravagant lifestyle and contentment of his monarch, Dionysius. Damocles accepts Dionysius' offer to let him sample this way of life for himself. Damocles, on the other hand, is reminded of the perpetual danger and instability that come with living as a king while at the meal when he notices a blade suspended over his head by a single horsehair. Damocles comes to the conclusion of the tale realizing that the life of a king is not as glamorous as he had thought. The unstable nature of power and the perils of ambition are typically symbolized by the narrative.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Sword of Damocles: A Story of New York Life The elder gentleman did not return the smile. Instead of that he remained gazing at the ample coal-fire thata burned in the grate before him with a look that to the young musician was simply inexplicable. You see the Ship in haven, he murmured at last but do not consider what storms it has weathered or what perils escaped. It is a voy age I would encourage no son of mine to undertake. Yet you are not the man to shrink from danger or to hesitate in a course you had marked out for yourself, be cause of the struggle it involved or the difficulties it pre sented the young man exclaimed almost involuntarily as his glance lingered with a certain sort of fascination on the powerful brow and steady if somewhat melancholy eye of his companion.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Musaicum Books presents to you this carefully created volume of "The Greatest Works of Anna Katharine Green". This ebook has been designed and formatted to the highest digital standards and adjusted for readability on all devices. Anna Katharine Green (1846-1935) was one of the first writers of detective fiction in America and distinguished herself by writing well plotted, legally accurate stories. Green has been called "the mother of the detective novel". She is credited with shaping detective fiction into its classic form, and developing the series detective. Her main character was detective Ebenezer Gryce of the New York Metropolitan Police Force, but in three novels he is assisted by the nosy society spinster Amelia Butterworth, the prototype for Miss Marple, Miss Silver and other creations. She also invented the 'girl detective': in the character of Violet Strange, a debutante with a secret life as a sleuth. Indeed, as journalist Kathy Hickman writes, Green "stamped the mystery genre with the distinctive features that would influence writers from Agatha Christie and Conan Doyle to contemporary authors of suspenseful "whodunits".
