The M.R. James Megapack

The M.R. James Megapack

M. R. James

Short Stories / Mystery & Thrillers / Religion

Montague Rhodes James (1862 – 1936), who wrote as M. R. James, was an English medieval scholar and provost of King's College, Cambridge (1905–1918), and of Eton College (1918–1936). He is best remembered for his ghost stories, which are regarded as among the best in the genre. James redefined the ghost story for the new century by abandoning many of the formal Gothic cliches of his predecessors and using more realistic contemporary settings. However, James's protagonists and plots tend to reflect his own antiquarian interests. Accordingly, he is known as the originator of the "antiquarian ghost story."

Pleasures and Follies

Pleasures and Follies

AnonYMous

Religion / Classics / Nonfiction

Pleasures and Follies is an engaging romp from adolescent sexual awakening into full grown adult lust on the part of one Cupidonnet and his half sister, Genovefette, along with a few of their playmates, friends, acquaintances, parents and Genovefette's eventual spouse. There is very little in the realm of physical intimacy that one or the other of these siblings did not experience, or at least witness. Other than attempt to remove obvious errors in the cyberscript, Renaissance E Books has done very little editing. To attempt to correct the spelling and/or punctuation would destroy much of the pleasure of reading the book, for the author uses to good affect coined words and unusual sentence structure. To remove the distinctly British words and expressions would be to destroy the flavor of the work. We do apologize for several passages that by today's standards are "politically incorrect," and hope the reader will understand the mindset of the time in which the book was composed.
