DOWNLOAD EBOOK →William Dean Howells (1837-1920) was an American realist author and literary critic. He wrote his first novel, Their Wedding Journey, in 1871, but his literary reputation really took off with the realist novel A Modern Instance, published in 1882, which describes the decay of a marriage. His 1885 novel The Rise of Silas Lapham is perhaps his best known, describing the rise and fall of an American entrepreneur in the paint business. His social views were also strongly reflected in the novels Annie Kilburn (1888) and A Hazard of New Fortunes (1890). While known primarily as a novelist, his short story "Editha" (1905) - included in the collection Between the Dark and the Daylight (1907) - appears in many anthologies of American literature. Howells also wrote plays, criticism, and essays about contemporary literary figures such as Ibsen, Zola, Verga, and, especially, Tolstoy, which helped establish their reputations in the United States. He also wrote critically in support of many American writers. It is perhaps in this role that he had his greatest influence.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from Letters That Make Good: A Desk Book for Business Men The highest aim of any author should be to produce a work from which the reader will receive a maximum of benefit. And not only that, but his book should be so clearly written and so well arranged that the reader may accomplish this, end with a minimum of time and effort. This applies especially to books intended for the present-day business man. It is the belief of the Editors of this volume that every business man will be benefited by a careful reading of the entire work, but it has been so arranged that those desiring to find at once some specific information on any subject of especial interest shall be able to find such information without "wading through" material that has no bearing on that particular question. There is much that is general in letter writing; much that applies to every letter that is ever written. This volume is as a whole so fundamental and so basic that everyone who writes letters or manages a correspondence department will profit by reading it thoroughly. John Ruskin has said that no book is serviceable until it has been read and re-read, and marked, so that you can refer to the passages you want in it, as a soldier can seize the weapon he needs in an armory, or the housewife bring the spice she needs from her store. On the other hand there are a multitude of specifically treated subjects that the busy man who is in search of some solution for his individual problems will want to have pointed out to him and placed where they will be quickly and easily accessible. This has been kept first in mind in making the revisions for this third edition. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
