    A Christmas Carol


    By
    Charles Dickens






    Ebenezer Scrooge is a miserly old man who believes that Christmas is just an excuse for people to miss work and for idle people to expect handouts. He doesn't believe in all of the good cheer and charity that the season promotes, and he makes sure everyone knows it.
    That night, Scrooge is visited by the ghost of his former business associate, Jacob Marley -- a man who was as greedy and cold as Scrooge is. Marley warns Scrooge that if he continues to live so selfishly, he will spend eternity wearing the chains that his greed has built.
    Three ghosts visit Scrooge successively: the Ghost of Christmas Past, the Ghost of Christmas Present, and the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come. They show Scrooge his error in valuing money over people. Scrooge is frightened by the bleak picture of his life and promises to change his ways.
    Scrooge awakes on Christmas morning a new man. He becomes jolly and charitable, and truly turns into the man he promised the ghosts he would become. He carries the spirit of Christmas with him all the year round

    Adventures of Huckleberry Finn

    by Mark Twain





    Genre(s)
    Satirical novel


    The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, by Mark Twain, is about a young boy, Huck, in search of freedom and adventure. The shores of the Mississippi River provide the backdrop for the entire book.
    Huck is kidnapped by Pap, his drunken father. Pap kidnaps Huck because he wants Huck's $6000. Huck was awarded $6000 from the treasure he and Tom Sawyer found in The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. Huck finally escapes from the deserted house in the woods and finds a canoe to shove off down the river. Instead of going back to the widow's house, he decides to run away. He is sick of all of the confinement and civilization that the window enforces upon him. He comes across Jim, Miss Watson's slave, and together, they spend nights and days journeying down the river, both in search of freedom.
    While traveling on a raft down the river, Huck and Jim have many adventures and during many long talks, become best of friends. They find a house with a dead man. They end up stealing many things from the house. They find a wrecked ship, and go on it, only to be mixed up with murderers. They get away with money and some other goods. They get separated from each other in the heavy fog, but eventually find each other. A steamboat crashes into their raft and Jim and Huck are separated again. Huck has a run-in with the Grangerfords and the Shepherdsons, two families at war with each other. He is reunited with Jim shortly after this. Then, they meet the King and the Duke, and get into a good deal of trouble performing plays. The King and the Duke pretend to be Peter Wilks' long lost brothers from England and try to steal all of the money left behind in his will. They escape before they are caught. Huck finally gets rid of them, but is left to search for Jim, who gets sold by the King. He ends up at Tom Sawyer's Aunt Sally's house, where Tom and Huck rescue Jim.
    Through all of the adventures down the river, Huck learns a variety of life lessons and improves as a person. He develops a conscience and truly feels for humanity. The complexity of his character is enhanced by his ability to relate so easily with nature and the river

    Alice's Adventures in Wonderland

    by Lewis Carroll


    Genre(s) Children's fiction


    One summer day Alice was sitting on the riverbank with her older sister. Alice’s sister was reading a book and Alice noticed that the book didn’t have any pictures, which made Alice lose interest in it. Then as she looked out into the meadow, she saw something very peculiar. She saw a large white rabbit running past her looking at his watch saying “Oh dear! Oh dear! I shall be too late.” Then he popped down a rabbit hole. Alice, being the curious girl she was, followed the rabbit down that hole and found herself in a land with many wonders. It was a wonderland. She met some interesting creatures including the King and Queen of Hearts, the Hatter, and the March Hare. She found that many creatures in this land didn’t have the best of tempers and didn’t want to try to help Alice figure out where to go and what to do. Alice also found herself changing sizes after eating or drinking things she found. One minute she was a few inches tall and the next she was nine feet tall. When Alice was in this land she expected the unexpected and didn’t think much of the unusual occurrences. She used her knowledge to help other people, such as when she made sense of evidence during a trial. As much as Alice thought it interesting being with these strange creatures and trying to get along with them, she wondered when she would return home to her normal life or if she would. She remembered her cat and dreamed of seeing him again. But was there a way to get out or was it all just a dream?

    Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
    By Roald Dahl

    It's the story of an ordinary boy: Charlie Bucket. He was no stronger or faster than anyone else, his family was not rich, powerful or well connected but he was the luckiest boy in the entire world, he just didn't know it yet.

    15 years ago, Willy Wonka opened the largest chocolate factory in the world but spies stole his recipes so he closed the factory. It didn't close forever though, and suddenly he decided to allow 5 children to visit the factory and one of them will win a special prize at the end. The children have to find one of the five golden tickets hidden beneath the ordinary wrapping paper of five ordinary Wonka bars. So, Augustus Gloop (a German chocoholic), Veruca Salt (a spoilt English brat), Violet Beauregarde (junior bubblegum champion), Mike Teavee (who hates chocolate) and Charlie Bucket (the luckiest boy in the entire world) win tickets and visit the factory.

    "Accidents" happen while on the guided tour. The greedy Augustus falls in the chocolate lake and gets accidentally sucked up and taken away to the room where they make the most delicious kind of strawberry flavoured chocolate coated fudge. Violet, ignoring Wonka's advice, tries some of his three course dinner gum and swells up like a blueberry. Veruca tries to grab a squirrel and ends up falling down the garbage chute in the direction of the incinerator (which thankfully is broken so there's about three weeks worth of rotten garbage to break her fall). Mike tries to use Wonka's chocolate teleport machine and ends up shrunk to about 6 inches high.

    Charlie wins the prize - it's Willy Wonka's factory (during his semi-annual haircut he found a grey hair and realised he'd have to find an heir). The only catch? Charlie would have to move the factory and never see his family again. He declines Wonka's offer. However, after Wonka is encouraged to make contact with his estranged father, he realises how important family can be, so he invites Charlie's entire family to move into the factory together.

    Grimm's Fairy Tales

    by the Brothers Grimm




    Genre(s) Fairy tales Folklore


    The Grimms’ collection of tales consists mainly of Germanic tales but includes a number of French tales as well. The stories were not intended primarily for children. They contain witches, trolls, goblins, and wolves who prowl dark forests. Some of the tales were quite explicit and were rewritten by the brothers to better reflect what was considered appropriate for their time. Many English translations exist, but most of these are attempts to make the stories into harmless entertainments for children. The original tales are often very dark and do not make any attempt to avoid frightening their listeners, regardless of age.
    The tales collected by the Brothers Grimm underlie much of what we are familiar with today in children’s literature and cinema. The entire history of the Disney company is a major example of the Grimms’ influence beginning with the company’s first animated feature film, ‘Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs









    Heidi

    by Johanna Spryi


    Genre(s) Children's novel

    The orphan child Heidi first lives with her aunt Dete, but Dete would like to concentrate on her career. So she brings Heidi to her grandfather, a queer old man living in an alpine cottage far from the next village (he is therefore called Alm-Uncle, Alpöhi or Almöhi in German). Alm-Uncle is good-hearted but mistrusts anybody and wants to keep the child from all evils of the world. So he refuses to send Heidi to school; instead she goes to the pastures, together with Peter, a shepherd boy looking after the goats (Geissenpeter = goat-Peter in German). This (all too harmonious) apine idyll finds a sudden end when aunt Dete comes in again and brings Heidi to Frankfurt (Germany) where she shall stay with Clara, the paralyzed daughter of a rich family, and learn something.

    Thanks to the grandmother of Clara, Heidi learns to read but she can't get acquainted to the strict discipline in a bourgeois upper class house (personified by governess Fraulein Rottenmeier). She is very lonesome and gets depressed by the gray anonymous city. Heidi becomes ill of homesickness, she starts to walk in her sleep. Miss Rottenmeier is alarmed, not because of the fate of the poor child, but rather because she thinks that there are ghosts in the old house. Finally Clara's father Herr Stresemann and the sympathetic doctor of the family decide to stay up till midnight and find out about the ghosts. When the doctor sees Heidi walking around in her sleep, he finds the right diagnosis and sends her back to the alps.

    Next summer, Clara visits Heidi there. They go to the pastures and Heidi shows Clara all the beauty of her world. Peter gets terribly jealous, and in a moment when he feels unobserved, he pushes the empty wheelchair down to the valley so it gets smashed. Clara wants to see the flowers and is forced to walk - and her desire is strong enough that she overcomes her handicap. Healings at body, spirit and soul in that healthy Alpine world - end well, all well

    by Louisa May Alcott

Alcott explores the chasm between rich and poor of the era through the friendship of the Alcott's next-door neighbor, Laurie, a boy about Jo's age who becomes her best friend and the means through which two of her sisters find love

    !How Fantastic
    you know the best thing you've done is that you begin with Charles Dickens
    He is the best novelist ever
    and my favorite writer
    ..................
    A Tale of Two Cities

    by Charles Dickens
    Yes I've read it more than once
    the greatest masterpiece ever
    basically he himself is a novel and his life is such a dramatic one
    For the reason that he was criticizing the miserable bad social and economical conditions concerning that time , including the poor lives , lack of money and how they suffer it , the orphan kids and those who were fighting to get a piece of bread , he was describing himself and his tough life he had been through

    There is also David Copperfield and Oliver twist and they really are exciting
    but in the first one he is narrating his real life by being himself one of his heroes with of course little changing

    but really the novel you started with was new to me
    and I'm excited that I have something to read for him
    I will try to download it soon
    if , AT ALL , I found time

    Tom sawyer is also interesting
    but the rest of your novels are all new ^___^
    so we have lots of coming interesting coffee, book time
    thanks Dorimi

    how he was in a prison and how homeless and poverty in the society
    so he writes some thing so real and near to what happen
    ^^""" Im such a talkative

    and peace be upon u too
    well, it's really worth-ed to share such a great topic with us

    I remember the first time in ma life i hold an English novel in my hands; that time i was really young, i could merely read the phrases "and, is, was" at that time, and all what i care about was searching for any images inside the novel
    xD

    now the things have changed somehow
    as i want to improve my english, i thought it'd be a great idea if i read some english novels, so i brought the Twilight series and i finished the first one already ^^

    it won't be a bad idea at all if i add the novels you included in your topic to my list at all
    A Tale of Two Cities seems exciting
    thxxx alot ^^

    I wish you very good luck n your final examz and to get high marks, as u really wish, and more
    ^_^

    this is a very nice collection for our electronic bookshelves XD
    most of them are all-time classics

    I have a novel but couldn't find it for downloading
    it's name is (A Little Piece of Ground ) by: Elizabeth Laird
    It's a story of a Palestinian kid who wanted a little piece of ground to play football
    it's a very great story by a writer who lived in Lebanon

    the book was banned any countries after a lot of pressure from the Jewish parties
    but you can find it in our libraries easily and it's one of the best novels I read in English

    this a picture of the book


    from wikipedia
    The book is about a twelve year old boy and his family struggling under the oppression of occupation in Israel/Palestine. It was first published by Macmillan in 2003 and reprinted by Haymarket Books in 2006. In 2003 it was a nominee for the Carnegie Medal and in 2004 won the Hampshire Book Award. The story comes from Laird's experiences in Lebanon during the Lebanese Civil War. The book has attracted some controversy regarding its portrayal of Israel/Palestinian relations.

    Plot summary

    Karim Aboudi, a Palestinian youth, has a list of what he wants from life. He wants to be a champion football player like Zinedine Zidane, a game designer, the inventor of an acid that would dissolve Israeli tanks, stronger than his older brother, good looking, and become a famous actor (or at least famous), among other things. An encounter with Israeli troops causes him to realize that what he wants the most is a normal life. Towards this, he wants to break the curfew set on his community, and play soccer outside with his friends.




    thank you for the library
    and I hope everyone will get the benefit of it
    as for me, I can,t read electronic books, especially the long ones ^_^ and enjoy reading the old fashioned way

    peace

    most of Eng Curriculum here is about Shakespeare

    ,as if there were no one related to Eng Literature except him,

    that is why i cant stand him ^^
    agree , honestly I couldn't see what people are seeing in him
    Not the language of course or the wisdom , but his plot and story line in most of his plays are fabricated in such funny way, can't forget how he ended Hamlet , it feels like he regreted making up such number of characters so he wanted to get rid of them at once , and then when you say the weakness points of his play or try to critisize him or to show some other great writers that exceed his level million times, people will look at u as a murderer arguing idiotically with anything about Shakespear in their minds but his name !!
    Being himself doesn't mean he is everything in literature or all his works are the best ever!
