The Story of an African Farm by Olive Schreiner

The Story of an African Farm (published 1883 under the pseudonym Ralph Iron) was South African author Olive Schreiner's first novel.

This book is generally recognized as one of the first feminist novels and also as the first great South African novel. This pioneering work caused quite a stir when it first appeared and it transformed the shape and course of the late Victorian novel.

Schreiner unflinchingly deals with her society's greatest fears, namely the loss of faith, the dissolution of marriage, and women's social and political independence. The setting is the vast arid plains of South Africa's Karoo region and the novel contains notable descriptions of the African landscape.

A classic work in the truest sense, few books have been so widely read as "As a Man Thinketh", have stood the test of time so well, and have had such an immense impact on generations of readers. The reason for this is that it conveys such a simple, yet profound message: You are what you think.

The Rangeland Avenger by Max Brand

A Western. He gave them the same chance his brother got ... none at all.

"At once the blind anger faded from the eyes of Riley. By the weight of that first blow he knew that he had encountered a worthy foeman, and by the position of Cartwright he could tell that he had met a confident one.

The big fellow was perfectly poised, with his weight well back on his right foot, his left foot feeling his way over the rough ground as he advanced, always collected for a heavy blow, or for a leap in any direction. He carried his guard high, with apparent contempt for an attack on his body, after the manner of a practiced boxer.

As for Riley Sinclair, boxing was Greek to him. His battles had been those of bullets and sharp steel, or sudden, brutal fracas, where the rule was to strike with the first weapon that came to hand. This single encounter, hand to hand, was more or less of a novelty to him, but instead of abashing or cowing him, it merely brought to the surface all his coldness of mind, all of his cunning."
