Book Description:
PREFACE TO 1850 EDITION

them adventures? I mean the adventures we had
down the river, and the time we set the darky Jim free

Author: Mark Twain
Book Description:
CHAPTER I.
AN INVITATION FOR TOM AND HUCK
[Footnote: Strange as the incidents of this story are,
they are not inventions, but facts -- even to the
public confession of the accused. I take them from an
old-time Swedish criminal trial, change the actors,
and transfer the scenes to America. I have added some
details, butMore... | |

PREFACE.
This book was not written for private circulation among friends; it was

Book Title: The Underground City
Author: Verne Jules
Book Description:
INTRODUCTION
AMONG so many effective and artistic tales, it is difficult to give a preference to one over all the rest. Yet, certainly, even amid Verne's remarkable works, his "Off on a Comet" must be given high rank. Perhaps this story will be remembered when even "Round the World in Eighty Days" and "Michael Strogoff" haveMore... | |
