Tom Jones is considered one of the first prose works describable as a novel. The novel is divided into 18 smaller books. Tom Jones is a foundling discovered on the property of a very kind, wealthy landowner, Squire Allworthy. Tom grows into a vigorous and lusty, yet honest and kind-hearted, youth.

However, Tom's status as a bastard causes Sophia's father and Allworthy to oppose their love; this criticism of class friction in society ...

There is, so far as I have been able to ascertain, no biography of Augustus Caesar - a most curious fact when one considers the extraordinary success of his career and the enormous importance of the work which he accomplished. Perhaps the reason of this apparent neglect may be found in the circumstance that his character is one of the most puzzling of antiquity. In this volume I have attempted to give a clear account of what Augustus achieved in the establishment of the Roman Empire, and at the same time to reveal the man, in so far as he reveals himself by his actions. - Summary Adapted from ...

As a child, Clive Staples Lewis imagined many things...heroic animals and knights in armor and a faraway land called Boxen. He even thought of a new name for himself - at four years old, he decided he was more of a Jack. As he grew up, though, Jack found that the real world was not as just as the one in his imagination. No magic could heal the sick or stop a war, and a bully’s words could pierce as sharply as a sword. So Jack withdrew into books and eventually became a well-known author for adults.

The Devil is an Ass is a satirical play by Ben Jonson that combines humor, farce, and sharp social commentary to expose human folly and moral corruption. In this work, the devil is portrayed as a comical buffoon, embodying vanity and hypocrisy while engaging in absurd, misguided schemes. Jonson skillfully mocks societal pretensions and ambitions, using clever dialogue and exaggerated characters to reveal the inherent absurdities of human nature and the tragic consequences of unchecked pride with brilliance.
