Discourse on Metaphysics - Unabridged

"Written in 1686 by the celebrated German polymath Gottfried Wilhelm von Leibniz, Discourse on Metaphysics is a short, early work in which Leibniz explains how the Earth, which was created by God (an undeniably perfect being), is therefore blessed with the same purity and perfection as its creator. Leibniz was one of the most important philosophers of the Enlightenment era and was a contemporary of Isaac Newton. But today, Leibniz's best remembered for his work in developing differential and integral calculus. A renowned rationalist - ranked with Rene Descartes and Baruch Spinoza - Leibniz himself made extraordinary discoveries in the fields of - among others- philosophy, politics, theology, history, philology, law and politics. A seeming autodidact, Leibniz authored tens of thousands of letters and manuscripts on such disparate topics as physics, biology, geology and computer science."

Ernest Hemingway's Men Without Women - Unabridged

"'Men Without Women' is Ernest Hemingway's second collection of short stories and his first publication since the blockbuster debut of 'The Sun Also Rises.' Here, Hemingway revisits and explores several of his familiar genres and locales (including the bullfighting and boxing rings) and adds two stories involving his favorite protagonist, Nick Adams. Hemingway's punchy, sparse style is on full display in these tales and a few of these stories have been hailed as being among Hemingway's best. The editor of Cosmopolitan called 'Fifty Grand' - a story of prizefighting and gambling - 'one of the best short stories that ever came to my hands...a remarkable piece of realism.' All ten stories - originally published in The Atlantic Monthly, The Little Review and The New Republic, among others - are presented here in their original and unabridged form."

In Our Time (1925 Edition) and The Sun Also Rises - Two Classics by Ernest Hemingway

"In 1923, journalist and budding fiction writer Ernest Hemingway penned eighteen original short stories and published them in the magazine The Little Review with the help of his friend Ezra Pound. Hemingway would later add to this collection and re-publish the stories in 1925 under the same title and - after adding an additional story - would again republish the entire volume in 1930, again as 'in our time' (all in lower case). This collection of short stories would mark one of the most auspicious and earth-shattering debuts by an author in literary history and also introduced the world to the fictional character of Nick Adams, a protagonist Hemingway would re-visit repeatedly in his career. Hemingway's success with this collection - considered a masterpiece - would soon lead to the creation of his first, full-length novel 'The Sun Also Rises,' which chronicles the journey of a group of young, hard-drinking expatriates as they travel from France to Spain and back again. This groundbreaking book explores their lives, their aspirations and their romantic entanglements, set against a backdrop of 1920's post-war Europe and Spain's thrilling (and troubling) national sport: bullfighting. Within a few years, Hemingway would become known as one of the most important voices of his generation and his stark prose - lean and brutal at times - would be imitated by generations of writers who followed him. Presented here is the expanded 1925 edition of 'In our time' as well as the full manuscript of 'The Sun Also Rises.' Both volumes are as they were originally published and appear in this double-set entirely unabridged."
