-Titulo Original : Moby-dick (dover Thrift Editions Classic Novels)-Fabricante : Dover Publications-Descripcion Original: A masterpiece of storytelling, this epic saga pits Ahab, a brooding and fantastical sea captain, against the great white whale that crippled him. In telling the tale of Ahabs passion for revenge and the fateful voyage that ensued, Melville produced far more than the narrative of a hair-raising journey; Moby-Dick is a tale for the ages that sounds the deepest depths of the human soul. Interspersed with graphic sketches of life aboard a whaling vessel, and a wealth of information on whales and 19th-century whaling, Melvilles greatest work presents an imaginative and thrilling picture of life at sea, as well as a portrait of heroic determination. The authors keen powers of observation and firsthand knowledge of shipboard life (he served aboard a whaler himself) were key ingredients in crafting a maritime story that dramatically examines the conflict between man and nature. A valuable addition to the literature of the day, said American journalist Horace Greeley on the publication of Moby-Dick in 1851 - a classic piece of understatement about a literary classic now considered by many as the great American novel. Read and pondered by generations, the novel remains an unsurpassed account of the ultimate human struggle against the indifference of nature and the awful power of fate. Much of Moby Dick was inspired by the 1821 work Narratives of the Wreck of the Whale-Ship Essex, which in turn inspired the 2015 movie In the Heart of the Sea, directed by Ron Howard and starring Chris Hemsworth.

About the Author Herman Melville (1819-1891) found early success with stories inspired by his adventures in the South Seas. His fortunes declined with the 1851 publication of Moby-Dick, now recognized as a masterpiece but scorned by Melvilles contemporaries. The author was obliged to work as a New York City customs inspector and died in obscurity, three decades before the critical reassessment of his work...

To start, you will need a stone that has a smooth surface. Here I used a medium-sized stone (1-2 inches). (2) Near the edge, draw a line around the stone with a pencil. Fill this space with the acrylic paint color you prefer. Here I used dark green. (3) Draw a simple tree design directly on the painted area, using a thin round brush and white ink (or with a white paint pen). (4) Now you can add some details to your tree. Paint some light green dots on different parts of the tree. (5) Continue to add details with some pink dots; make them smaller to have a balanced look. (6) Using black ink, draw some contour lines around the green dots and branches to make your tree more stylish. Try it! Try drawing and painting your tree design directly on the stones natural surface (darker stones with light colors, lighter stones with dark colors). You can also paint the entire surface of the stone before adding your tree design. Leaf Collection (1) The leaf is one of the most suitable designs to paint on stones. Here I used five similar oval shapes to show different possibilities. Using a pencil, draw your leaf sketches on the stones. Its better to use harder 2H pencils because they wont leave lead powder on the stones surface. (2) Paint your leaves with the colors you like. You can use acrylic paints and inks with thin brushes, or you can work with paint pens. (3) Use black fineliner pens to add a contour around the leaves. You can draw parallel lines, half circles, and dots to fill each leaf. Adding some dots with white acrylic ink around the contours or inside the small leaves will create an extra-fine look. Simple Flowers (1) You will need some round, flat stones for this project. Draw your flower sketches on the stones with a pencil. (2) Then color the flowers using acrylic inks and size 00 round brushes. After your paint dries completely, use a fineliner pen to outline the edges of the flowers. This will make them more visible. (3) Next, add details to your flower designs. Here I used simple lines, drew small plants inside petals, and added dots of different colors. You can use paint pens with extra-fine tips for all these details. Blooming Botanicals (1) You will need some oval-shaped, flat stones for this project. Draw some simple, tiny plants with a pencil. You can use your imagination or you can take inspiration from nature (2) Using acrylic inks, dip pens, and paint pens, add color to your designs. For the plants featuring lines only, you can simply trace over the pencil sketch lines with a dip pen or with extra-fine paint pens. (3) Use a black fineliner pen to add contour and shadowing to your plants. Then, to finish your plant designs, add some small details such as dots and thin lines. Sea Themes (1) Look for stones of different sizes and shapes and draw sea shells or other sea creatures on them. (2) Paint your designs with the colors you prefer. Here ...

-Titulo Original : The Scarlet Letter (dover Thrift Editions Classic Novels)-Fabricante : Dover Publications-Descripcion Original: An A for adultery marks Hester Prynne as an outcast from the society of colonial Boston. Although forced by the puritanical town fathers to wear a bright red badge of shame, Hester steadfastly resists their efforts to discover the identity of her babys father. The return of her long-absent spouse brings new pressure on the young mother, as the aggrieved husband undertakes a long-term plot to reveal Hesters partner in adultery and force him to share her disgrace. Masterful in its symbolism and compelling in its character studies, Nathaniel Hawthornes tale of punishment and reconciliation examines the concepts of sin, guilt, and pride. The Scarlet Letter was published to immediate acclaim in 1850. Its timeless exploration of moral and spiritual issues, along with its philosophical and psychological insights, keep it ever relevant for students of American literature and lovers of fiction. A selection of the Common Core State Standards Initiative. From the Back Cover First published in 1850, The Scarlet Letter is Nathaniel Hawthornes masterpiece and one of the greatest American novels. Its themes of sin, guilt, and redemption, woven through a story of adultery in the early days of the Massachusetts Colony, are revealed with remarkable psychological penetration and understanding of the human heart. Hester Prynne is the adulteress, forced by the Puritan community to wear a scarlet letter A on the breast of her gown. Arthur Dimmesdale, the minister and the secret father of her child, Pearl, struggles with the agony of conscience and his own weakness. Roger Chillingworth, Hesters husband, revenges himself on Dimmesdale by calculating assaults on the frail mental state of the conscience-stricken cleric. The result is an American tragedy of stark power and emotional depth that has mesmerized critics and readers for nearly a century and a half. A selection of the Common Core State Standards Initiative. About the Author Born on the fourth of July in 1804, Nathaniel Hawthorne wrote the stories that lie at the heart of the American Romantic movement. His portraits of colonial life reflect his Puritan heritage and offer fascinating profiles of individuals who strive for freedom from social conventions...

For soup can do more to lift the spirits and stimulate the appetite than any other one dish. Soups challenge us, because an enticing flavorful soup can be as different from the thin watery beverage sometimes erroneously called soup as a genuine green turtle is from the mock turtle. Perhaps one of the surest tests of a good cook is the choice of soup in relation to the rest of the meal. The purpose of soup in the meal is twofold: first, to stimulate appetite; second, to provide nourishment. Light soups serve as appetizers, heavier ones may be a main course. Men, we notice, have always been partial to soups that fill you up- those rich with chunks of meat or chicken, hearty with vegetables, alimentary pastes, barley, or rice. Brillat-Savarin once made the remark that a woman who couldnt make soups should not be allowed to marry. Soups were important in his world, and they still are important to use all...
