After the Pardon (Classic Reprint)
Excerpt from After the Pardon Donna maria guasco simonetti, gracefully stretched on the sofa and immersed in the many soft cushions of all kinds of fabrics and colours, was reading alone. A steady light, opalised by the clear transparent silk of a large shade, was diffused from the tall pedestal at her side, on which was placed a quaint lamp of chased silver, so that the reader's head, with her thick mass of chestnut hair, attired almost in harmony with its natural lines in broad waves and rich braids, received exactly the clearness of the light.

Mrs General Talboys (Webster’s German Thesaurus Edition)
This edition is written in English. However, there is a running German thesaurus at the bottom of each page for the more difficult English words highlighted in the text. There are many editions of Mrs General Talboys. This edition would be useful if you would like to enrich your German-English vocabulary, whether for self-improvement or for preparation in advanced of college examinations. Websters edition of this classic is organized to expose the reader to a maximum number of difficult and potentially ambiguous English words. Rare or idiosyncratic words and expressions are given lower priority compared to difficult, yet commonly used English words. Rather than supply a single translation, many words are translated for a variety of meanings in German, allowing readers to better grasp the ambiguity of English without using the notes as a pure translation crutch. Having the reader decipher a words meaning within context serves to improve vocabulary retention and understanding. Each page covers words not already highlighted on previous pages. This edition is helpful to German-speaking students enrolled in an English Language Program (ELP), an English as a Foreign Language (EFL) program, an English as a Second Language Program (ESL), or in a TOEFL or TOEIC preparation program. Students who are actively building their vocabularies in German or English may also find this useful for Advanced Placement (AP) tests.

This book is one of a series of Websters paperbacks that allows the reader to obtain more value from the experience of reading.

The Conquest of Rome (La Conquista Di Roma) (Classic Reprint)
Excerpt from The Conquest of Rome (La Conquista Di Roma) But the man alone was not sleeping. He lay at full length on the cushions; his eyes were closed; one arm supported his neck, and the other hand was thrust within his coat. But his face had not the peaceful ex pression of repose, as the features were contracted in thought. After the train had begun to move again, and had passed out into the open country, the traveler opened his eyes and changed his position. Occasionally a thatched cottage, a little village, or a switch-tender's little hut ?ashed out against a dark background; while a path of fire was projected into the darkness, coming from the headlight of the locomotive, which appeared to throw a circle of dancing ?ames before it as it rushed along at full speed.
