The Call Of The Wild is the story of Buck, a dog stolen from his home and thrust into the merciless life of the Arctic north to endure hardship, bitter cold, and the savage lawlessness of man and beast. White Fang is the adventure of an animal -- part dog, part wolf --turned vicious by cruel abuse, then transformed by the patience and affection of one man.
Jack London's superb ability as a storyteller and his uncanny understanding of animal and human natures give these tales a striking vitality and power, and have earned him a reputation as a distinguished American writer.

About the text:
“Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales—witty, bawdy, zany, satirical, and literary. From the late medieval period on, Chaucer has been considered the “father or English poetry.” Indeed, his Middle English verse electrified the day with its satire of English society. Writing in the later 14th century, he caused ripples with his bold move to write in the vernacular English instead of the expected literary Latin. With prophetic wisdom, he sensed the potential of English to absorb elements from many languages, making it the literary language of the future—opening the way for Shakespeare.
Michael Murphy’s deft Reader-Friendly Edition presents Chaucer’s original words put into modern spelling, thereby preserving the literal Chaucerian Middle English without the unnecessary obstacle of fourteenth century spelling. Enjoy these surprising tales told by a group of quirky medieval English pilgrims in a storytelling contest on their journey to the shrine of St. Thomas Becket, Archbishop of Canterbury. This volume includes Chaucer’s General Prologue, The Pardoner’s Tale, The Nun’s Priest’s Tale, and the Franklin’s Tale.”

Despite the fury of the magistrates, Father Maehler offered Martin Luther the cup of honour. But the consequences were harsh. Their lives were spared, but . . . Where had Martin Luther gone?
Join Otto’s family as they cling to God’s promises through all their grief and tension. Witness with joy the work of God in the lives of His children as well as in the lives of the enemies of the cross.
