Mon premier blog

With an Introduction by Kathryn White. Prepare to be shocked. This novel, written in 1796, is a Gothic festival of sex, magic and ghastly, ghostly violence rarely seen in literature. The Monk is remarkably modern in style and tells a breathless tale of temptation, imprisonment and betrayal. Matthew Lewis recounts the downfall of Ambrosio, the holier-than-thou monk seduced within the walls of a Madrid abbey until he heads for the utter corruption of the soul. Meanwhile, two sets of young lovers are thwarted and the reader thrills to pursuits through the woods by bandits and is chilled by the spectre of nuns imprisoned in vermin-ridden and skeleton-crowded vaults. Late Eighteenth Century audiences were polarised in opinion as to the novel's merits. Lord Byron and the Marquis de Sade were impressed by Lewis's daring, while Coleridge warned parents against The Monk's suitability for their sons or daughters, describing the novel as 'poison for youth. If you want a novel that still terrifies, over two hundred years after it was written, there is none finer than The Monk.

In J. M. Barrie's stories, Peter, Wendy, Tinker Bell, and a cast of other familiar characters embark on fantastical journeys. The famous novel Peter and Wendy (1911) tells about the "boy who never grew up" and his adventures in Neverland. The lesser-known prequel Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens (1906) introduces Peter Pan's early years in London. Both weave a tale that is universally relatable and wildly popular with adults and children alike. Now fans of these whimsical stories can write their own way to Neverland with A Novel Journal: Peter Pan. In this unique notebook, the lines are formed by the text of these classic stories in tiny type. Aspiring writers can rehash their own adventures between the lines of their favorite characters, or they can create an entirely new tale. Packaged with a Svepa cover, brilliant endpapers, colored Snapshots Through the Year download PDF edges, and matching elastic band to close pages tight, this book is a great gift or collectible for fairy tale enthusiasts. And the compact size makes this journal easy to slip into a purse, briefcase, or backpack so you can record and revisit your thoughts on the go.
