Revolutionist's Handbook and Pocket Companion George Bernard Shaw · 1900 · 58p · ≈ 1h · Challenging The French Revolution overthrew one set of rulers and substituted another with different interests and different views. That is what a general election enables the people to do in England every seven years if they choose.

Escape, and other essays Arthur Christopher Benson · 1915 · ★ 5.0 · 302p · ≈ 10h · Challenging This book is romantic story, I walked to-day down by the river side. The Cam is a stream much slighted by the lover of wild and romantic scenery; and its chief merit, in the eyes of our boys, is that it approaches more nearly to a canal in its straightness and the deliberation of its slow lapse than many more famous floods--and is therefore more adapted for the maneuvres of eight-oared boats! But… Shares: Essays

I have for a great part of my life desired, perhaps more than I have desired anything else, to make a beautiful book; and I have tried, perhaps too hard and too often, to do this, without ever quite succeeding; by that I mean that my little books, when finished, were not worthy to be compared with the hope that I had had of them. I think now that I tried to do too many… Shares: Essays

De rerum natura Titus Lucretius Carus · 1486 · ★ 4.0 · 311p · ≈ 10h · Demanding This is regarded as a seminal text of Epicurean science and philosophy. Epicurians discarded both the idea of immortality and the superstitious worship of wilful gods for a life of serene contentment in the available pleasures of nature.
