A collection of Wells' short stories, with a short introductory essay by the author: "Essentially it is a miscellany of inventions, many of which were very pleasant to write; and its end is more than attained if some of them are refreshing and agreeable to read. I have now re-read them all, and I am glad to think I wrote them. I like them, but I cannot tell how much the associations of old happinesses gives them a flavour for me. I make no claims for them and no apology; they will be read as long as people read them." (From the author's Introduction.)

H.G. Wells is best known as a writer of science fiction; "The Country of the Blind and Other Stories" is a collection only incidentally touched by science.

War and Peace (Russian: Война и мир, Voyna i mir; in original orthography: Война и миръ, Voyna i mir") is an epic historical novel by Leo Tolstoy, first published from 1865 to 1869 in Russki Vestnik, which tells the story of Russia during the Napoleonic Wars. It is usually described as one of Tolstoy's two major masterpieces (the other being Anna Karenina) as well as one of the world's greatest novels.

War and Peace offered a new kind of fiction, with a great many characters caught up in a plot that covered nothing less than the grand subjects indicated by the title, combined with the equally large topics of youth, age and marriage. While today it is considered a novel, it broke so many novelistic conventions of its day that many critics of Tolstoy's time did not consider it as such. Tolstoy himself considered Anna Karenina (1878) to be his first attempt at a novel in the European sense. (From Wikipedia.)

Translated by Aylmer Maude (1858 - 1938).

This is the second of four volumes, reading in progress. The second volume covers the years from 1806 to 1812.

Thomas Wolsey was an English statesman and Catholic bishop. His appointment as a cardinal by Pope Leo X in 1515 gave him precedence over all other English clergy.

Henry VIII's passion for Anne Boleyn and his consequent rejection of his wife Catherine of Aragon resulted in Henry's push for a wedding annulment. As the king's chief adviser and Lord Chancellor, Cardinal Wolsey failed to negotiate an annulment of Henry's marriage to Catherine. He fell out of favour and was stripped of his government titles.

George Cavendish (1497 - c.1562) was Cardinal Wolsey's "Gentleman Usher".

The intrinsic value of Cavendish's Life of Cardinal Wolsey has long been perceived, for it is the sole authentic record of a multitude of events highly important in a particularly interesting section of the history of England. Cavendish has been recognized as the earliest of the great English biographers. He writes with simplicity and vividness, rarely yielding to the rhetoric which governed the ordinary prose of his age. Shakespeare is said to have used this work as the basis for his play "Henry VIII".

Note: Latin passages recorded by Kazbek.

Henry David Thoreau (July 12, 1817 – May 6, 1862) was an American naturalist, essayist, poet, and philosopher. A leading transcendentalist, he is best known for his book Walden, a reflection upon simple living in natural surroundings, and his essay "Civil Disobedience" (originally published as "Resistance to Civil Government"), an argument for disobedience to an unjust state. 

Thoreau was known for being a prolific writer, keeping journals from the age of 20 until shortly before his death. He wrote of his observations in nature, gleaned largely from his daily walks. He also was a man of strong opinions, which are included here. This first volume covers 10 years, starting at the age of twenty. (From Wikipedia).
