Description:
1855 Herman Melville TYPEE Story of Toby Polynesia Whaling Novel Moby Dick

"Strange as it may seem, there is nothing in which a young and beautiful female appears to more advantage than in the art of smoking."
― Herman Melville, Typee
Herman Melville was a 19th-century American novelist known for his works 'Typee' and 'Moby Dick'. While 'Moby Dick' has seen more sustained popularity since its first release, 'Typee,' and its sequel 'Omoo,' was Melville's first book and saw initial success and was his most popular work during his lifetime.
'Typee' (1846) is classic travel literature and is based on Melville's own experiences on the island of Nuku Hiva, Polynesia. It was because of 'Typee'
that Melville was coined 'the man who lived among cannibals.' According to Howard, Melville
"drew his material from his experiences, from his imagination, and from a variety of travel books when the memory of his experiences was inadequate"


This 1855 was heavily edited by Melville himself, removing references to… Read More

1899 Famous Violinists Classical VIOLIN MUSIC Paganini Mozart Handel Haydn Bach

Henry Lahee was a 19th-century music historian and writer known for his references on and biographical sketches of famous musicians. One of his best works was his 'Famous Violinists of Today and Yesterday' – a treatise recounting the music, lives, and careers of famous violinists.

In this work, Lahee covers numerous violinists but none more important than Niccolo Paganini. Even today, Paganini is considered to be one of, if not the most important violinists ever to play. His virtuosity, incredible composition, and concert performances placed him at the top of the musical world in the 19th-century.

Other notable composers and musicians featured in this work include Antonio Vivaldi, Arcangelo Corelli, J.S. Bach, Handel, Mozart, and Haydn.

Description:
1887 John Bunyan Pilgrim's Progress Puritan RARE Oak Binding from HIS CHURCH

"The Pilgrim's Progress" is a profound Christian allegory written by John Bunyan in 1678. Narrated as a dream sequence, it details the symbolic journey of a character named Christian, who travels from his hometown, the "City of Destruction," to the heavenly "Celestial City." The narrative charts Christian's spiritual progress, confronting him with the trials and tribulations of his faith as well as the redemptive power of divine grace and perseverance. Bunyan's masterpiece, which he began while imprisoned for violating England's Conventicle Act, is considered a foundational piece of English literature and religious narrative, having influenced numerous authors and thinkers over centuries. Remarkably, it has been translated into more than 200 languages and has remained in print since its first publication, bearing testament to its timeless message and universal appeal.
