Thank you Logos, some threads should appear in short timeNow, when you're so hard working, how about some Dostoevsky's short stories?
At thunder and tempest, At the world's coldheartedness,
During times of heavy loss And when you're sad
The greatest art on earth Is to seem uncomplicatedly gay.
To get things clear, they have to firstly be very unclear. But if you get them too quickly, you probably got them wrong.

There have been two new authors added to the site

"The Pied Piper of Hamelin" is contained in his Shorter Works; and
Dramatic Romances includes his famous poems "In A Gondola", "A Grammarians Funeral", "Porphyria's Lover", and "Childe Roland to the Dark Tower Came" (which inspired Steven King's `Dark Tower' series).
Alexander Pushkin has now been added: a biography and Boris Godunov, his poem "The Fountain of Bakhchisarai" and a few of his short stories.
Elizabeth Barrett Browning's Aurora Leigh has now been added to the site.
Many more of Dickens's fiction and non-fiction works have been added including:
A Child's History of England, which is really a great overview for anyone of any age!, The Battle of Life, Master Humphrey and Holiday Romance, and more of his short stories including his Christmas ones like "The Cricket on the Hearth". His short story "Sketches of Young Gentlemen" is hilarious.
More titles by Amelia Barr have been added;
more John Bangs-ian stories have been added;
more for Irving Bacheller;
`It' Girl Elinor Glyn had so many of her works adapted to film including The Man and the Moment, Three Weeks, and His Hour;

Guy de Maupassant's Bel Amie is now on the site;
and last but certainly not least, both of the Shelley's have more texts added: Mary's futuristic The Last Man, Mathilda, and her play Proserpine and Midas can now be read.
Percy Bysshe's A Defence of Poetry and *dozens* of additional poems of his have been added in his The Complete Poetical Works: his wife Mary did a lovely job in adding extensive notes and background for most of the poems in that volume, its a really great resource for study.
cheers,

This is a laberynth for me, I'm still searching the way and trying to learn how to move here. I just want to comment it. I'm very eager to write and participate but it's so difficult for me. It's astonishing. I've been in other forums and handled it quite well.
