Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Even among the ranks of novelists, the personality of Henry James seems peculiarly enigmatic and complex. In this vivid compilation, first published in l947, and containing material not available elsewhere, contemporaries record their first-hand impressions of a man and artist who brought fiction to a new peak of seriousness and sensitivity. But the James their collective impressions portray is far from a one-dimensional patriarch -- the "master" of whom a "legend" was created. Rather, he is seen as a man of unfailing compassion and intelligence who was nevertheless capable of sly malice; a dandy who somehow managed to retain the warm democratic manners of his native America. However, the final portrait of James which emerges from Nowell-Smith's engrossing work is something of a paradox -- we see a man who, despite the strong impression he made on nearly everyone he met, remained locked in the solitude and frustration out of which his greatest writing was born.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Born into slavery, Bass Reeves became the most successful US Marshal of the Wild West. Many "heroic lawmen" of the Wild West, familiar to us through television and film, were actually violent scoundrels and outlaws themselves. But of all the sheriffs of the frontier, one man stands out as a true hero: Bass Reeves. He was the most successful Federal Marshal in the US in his day. True to the mythical code of the West, he never drew his gun first. He brought hundreds of fugitives to justice, was shot at countless times, and never hit. Bass Reeves was a black man, born into slavery. And though the laws of his country enslaved him and his mother, when he became a free man he served the law, with such courage and honor that he became a legend.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It's a story that made Dutch painter Han van Meegeren famous worldwide when it broke at the end of World War II: A lifetime of disappointment drove him to forge Vermeers, one of which he sold to Hermann Goering in mockery of the Nazis. And it's a story that's been believed ever since. Too bad it isn't true. Jonathan Lopez has drawn on never-before-seen documents from dozens of archives to write a revelatory new biography of the world's most famous forger. Neither unappreciated artist nor antifascist hero, Van Meegeren emerges as an ingenious, dyed-in-the-wool crook--a talented Mr. Ripley armed with a paintbrush. Lopez explores a network of illicit commerce that operated across Europe: Not only was Van Meegeren a key player in that high-stakes game in the 1920s and '30s, landing fakes with famous collectors such as Andrew Mellon, but he and his associates later cashed in on the Nazi occupation. The Man Who Made Vermeers is a long-overdue unvarnishing of Van Meegeren's legend and a deliciously detailed story of deceit in the art world.

To expand further, these hideous masters transformed conquered fortresses and temples into bastions of evil. No individual fief could oppose their venomous tide. Three heroes stand in their path toward domination. Alone, they cannot win. But they have a new ally, am ambitious visionary with grandiose dreams of unification. With support from this opportunistic benefactor, and the clout imparted by the ranks he lavished upon them, they seek to piece together an invasion force capable of defeating their grotesque, puritanical enemies. That task won't be easy. Ancient loyalties and animosities threaten to sabotage their campaign. Diabolical Minotaru agents sow mayhem in lands untouched by their repulsive masters. And, Sithalkaan remains a threat to all sides. Can the samurai unite to save their convulsing nation from destruction? Who can defeat Sithalkaan and prevent him from seizing the throne of heaven? Will the stain of Minotaru atrocities ever fade? The epic clash between legendary foes shall decide the fate of Japan, the world, and the heavens. This is the third of four books in the Legend of Sithalkaan series.
