Ben-Hur is a historical novel by Lew Wallace, a story of a hero named Judah Ben-Hur, a Jewish nobleman who was falsely accused of an attempted assassination and enslaved by the Romans.

Judah survives his ordeal as a galley slave, after befriending and saving the commander of his ship, who later adopts him. Judah goes on to become a trained soldier and charioteer. Judah returns home to Jerusalem to seek revenge and redemption for his family (they perished in a Roman jail).

Summary:

This World Is Taboo (1961) by Murray Leinster is a science fiction novel.

Excerpt from the book:

He called Murgatroyd, placed him before the communicator, and set it at voice-only transmission. This was familiar enough, to Murgatroyd.

He'd often seen Calhoun use a communicator.

'Chee!' shrilled Murgatroyd. 'Chee-chee!'

A startled voice came out of the speaker: 'What's that?'

'Chee,' said Murgatroyd zestfully.

The communicator was talking to him. Murgatroyd adored three things, in order. One was Calhoun. The second was coffee. The third was pretending to converse like a human being. The speaker said explosively, 'You there, identify yourself!'

'Chee-chee-chee-chee!' observed Murgatroyd. He wriggled with pleasure and added, reasonably enough, 'Chee!'

The communicator bawled, 'Calling ground! Calling ground! Listen to this! Something that ain't human's talking at me on a communicator!

Listen in an' tell me what to do!'

Murgatroyd interposed with another shrill, 'Chee!'

Summary:

Second Variety is a science fiction story about self-producing and developing, speaking robots, which aim to extinct the human race, by Philip K. Dick.

Excerpt from the book:

'It was interesting, the use of artificial forms in warfare. How had they got started? Necessity. The Soviet Union had gained great initial success, usual with the side that got the war going. Most of North America had been blasted off the map. Retaliation was quick in coming, of course. The sky was full of circling disc-bombers long before the war began; they had been up there for years. The discs began sailing down all over Russia within hours after Washington got it.

But that hadn't helped Washington.

The American bloc governments moved to the Moon Base the first year. There was not much else to do. Europe was gone; a slag heap with dark weeds growing from the ashes and bones. Most of North America was useless; nothing could be planted, no one could live.'

Summary:

Chancellorsville and Gettysburg (1882) is a war memoir by Abner Doubleday. From the preface: 'In writing this narrative, which relates to the decisive campaign which freed the Northern States from invasion, it may not be out of place to state what facilities I have had for observation in the fulfilment of so important a task. I can only say that I was, to a considerable extent, an actor in the scenes I describe, and knew the principal leaders on both sides, in consequence of my association with them at West Point, and, subsequently, in the regular army. Indeed, several of them, including Stonewall Jackson and A. P. Hill, were, prior to the war, officers in the regiment to which I belonged. As commander of the Defences of Washington in the spring of 1862, I was, owing to the nature of my duties, brought into intimate relations with the statesmen who controlled the Government at the time, and became well acquainted with President Lincoln.' Artist Bio Author: Abner Doubleday (1819-1893) was a career United States Army officer and Union general in the American Civil War, fighting from Fort Sumter to Gettysburg.

Title: Nightmare Abbey: Unabridged

Author: Thomas Love Peacock

Narrator: Lawrence Skinner

Format: Unabridged

Length: 03:19:28

Language: English

Release date: 12-20-17

Publisher: Bookwire USD

Genres: Fiction & Literature, Graphic Novels

Summary:

Nightmare Abbey is a Gothic satire about the romantic movement in contemporary English literature, its morbid subjects, misanthropy and transcendental philosophical systems. Most of the characters are based on historical figures whom Peacock wishes to ridicule. The main character is Christopher Glowry, Esquire, a morose widower who lives with his only son in his shabby family mansion. Mr. Glowry has servants with long faces or dismal names such as Raven, Graves or Deathshead. The few visitors he welcomes are mostly of a similar cast of mind: a transcendental philosopher; a Manichaean Millenarian; his son's languid and world-weary college friend; and a misanthropic poet. The only exception is the sanguine Mr. Hilary, who, as Mr. Glowry's brother-in-law, is obliged to visit the abbey from family interests. And there is Reverend Mr. Larynx, the vicar of nearby Claydyke, who readily adapts himself to whatever company he is in. Artist Bio Author: Thomas Love Peacock (1785-1866) was an English novelist, poet, and official of the East India Company. He was a close friend of Percy Bysshe Shelley and they influenced each other's work.

Summary:

Kidnapped is a historical adventure, a 'boys' novel' by Robert Louis Stevenson. The full title of the book gives away major parts of the plot and creates the false impression that the novel is autobiographical. It is Kidnapped: Being Memoirs of the Adventures of David Balfour in the Year 1751: How he was Kidnapped and Cast away; his Sufferings in a Desert Isle; his Journey in the Wild Highlands; his acquaintance with Alan Breck Stewart and other notorious Highland Jacobites; with all that he Suffered at the hands of his Uncle, Ebenezer Balfour of Shaws, falsely so-called: Written by Himself and now set forth by Robert Louis Stevenson. The story is set around 18th century Scottish events, notably the 'Appin Murder', which occurred near Ballachulish in 1752 in the aftermath of the Jacobite rising of 1745. Many of the characters were real people, including one of the main characters, Alan Breck Stewart.
