The Prairie Traveler
- Author: Marcy Randolph Barnes
- Genre: Historical
Randolph Barnes Marcy (1812-1887) served as an officer for the Army of the United States. He wrote his book The Prairie Traveler in 1859 especially for the Department of State and its publication was financed by the United States government. This work is considered valuable as it was devoted to the overland migration in the country in the first decades of the 19th century. Marcy researched the routes and the preparation of the immigrants who were moving to California including the wagons, horses, food, packing, the journey itself with many obstacles including rivers, drinkable water on the routes, creating a fire, avoiding animals, first aid and many other aspects of the traveling from the Eastern Coast to the Western. His book contains citations from Turkish and French immigrants who had immigrated to the North Africa and Sahara as well as Marcy's personal impressions from colonization of the American West.
Eugenie Grandet
- Author: Balzac Honoré de
- Genre: Historical
A “Human Comedy” of Honoré de Balzac, a French novelist and playwright, one of his earliest novels.
Eugenie Grandet was one of the most desirable fiancée of Saumur. Her father, a cooper in his past, became rich during the Revolution. The story is centred around the struggle between Eugenie and her father, which begun when she falls in love with her penniless cousin Charles. The madness about money makes him completely inhuman and cruel. Creating a human comedy Balzac posed a problem, new for the literature of that time. He aspired to portray, without pity but truthfully, the France of the 19th century, the real life of his contemporaries. In “Eugenie Grandet” he applies to the destructive power of money over people.
Balzac’s works are still popular among the wide readership, old and young, discovering in his novels the key to understanding of human soul.

The Word and Void Trilogy - 01 - Running with the Demon
- Author: Terry Brooks
- Genre: Dark Fantasy
This is modern horror. This is Stephen King's bailiwick. I found myself thinking a LOT of King's work while reading Running With the Demon, and King suffers badly in the comparison. In this book, Brooks gets to show off a somewhat different style of writing, and demonstrate his skills depicting "regular people". The Shannara books take place in an entirely different world (albeit with the conceit that they are actually this world, after a sort of mystical apocalypse), and the Magic Kingdom books have a comedy slant which drives much of the character action.
