Classics Stories

By James Baldwin. Written in 1895.

Swept to a magical land by a tornado, Dorothy Gale and her dog Toto, must find their way back home to Kansas. Along the challenging adventure, they make three new friends who are each searching for their own hearts desire. The friends encounter many obstacles along the way, including a vengeful Wicked Witch and other strange and interesting creatures that live in the land, all while learning more about themselves in the process. Loosely based off the book The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum. The Wonderful Wizard of Oz is a 1900 children's novel written by author L. Frank Baum and illustrated by W. W. Denslow. It is the first novel in my version of the Oz series of books. *** The first tale in my adaption of the fantastical Oz series by L. Frank Baum. My adaptation of Baum's first book, "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz," remains faithful to the original narrative structure, while introducing captivating modifications to the storyline, origins of certain characters, and the fusion of select chapters. In crafting this rendition, I sought to pay homage to the rich tapestry of Oz adaptations that have graced our screens over the years. Notably, I drew inspiration from the iconic 1939 MGM classic and its enchanting Disney 1985 semi-Sequel, "Return to Oz," as well as the beloved "Wicked" series, SyFy's enthralling "Tin Man" miniseries from 2007, Oz the Great and Powerful (2013), and the captivating Oz episodes of "Once Upon a Time." To breathe life into the pages, I decided to create live-action illustrations for the book. I used a mix of the MGM Wizard of Oz, Return to Oz (1985), and other Oz adaptations to create the visuals.

BLACKWOOD HEIGHTS A school where every normal teenager should stay away from. At Blackwood Heights, influence is currency-and popularity is survival. Behind its polished halls, impossible wealth, and picture-perfect reputation lies a ruthless hierarchy ruled by the Diamond V, the five most powerful students in the school. Around them exists a wider hierarchy of influential students-other classes with their own reputations, connections, and power. They may not hold the same status as the Diamond V, but they are far from insignificant. And at the very top of the Diamond V stands Adriana Komer. Beautiful, influential, impossibly wealthy, and raised to understand the game better than anyone else, Adriana has spent her entire life learning how to stay on top. At Blackwood, she doesn't just know the rules. She knows how to make them. Then Isabella Salvatore arrives. She applied to Blackwood on a whim, forgot about it, and somehow ended up there. Brilliant, strikingly beautiful, strangely lucky, and completely uninterested in the hierarchy, Isabella doesn't even realize how much power she carries-or how much her presence changes the people around her. She doesn't want the throne. She doesn't care about the game. And somehow, that makes her more dangerous than anyone who does. Because the girl who never wanted power becomes the greatest threat to the girl who has spent her entire life protecting it. Adriana wants to find Isabella's weakness. Isabella has spent her entire life making sure she has none. Until she finds one. And it has Adriana's name on it.

"There you go again. Letting your head get the better of you." Becca's eyes shot to his. "You can't hold back like that, not if you want it to feel real." Her cheeks felt like they were on fire. Yes, she'd stopped. She knew. But he spoke like it was so simple, like she was just some amateur afraid of the stage. He had no clue what this felt like, that it wasn't the scene that made her chest tight. It was looking at him. She put a full foot of distance between them. "I know how to act, Boris!" He stood there, unmoved. "Then show me." Her nails dug into her palms. No. She wasn't going to let him break her. She pulled her shoulders back, took a breath, and planted her feet. "Fine," she bit out. "This time...I'll finish it." ⭒⭒⭒⭒⭒⭒⭒⭒⭒⭒⭒⭒⭒⭒⭒⭒⭒⭒⭒⭒⭒⭒⭒⭒⭒⭒⭒⭒⭒⭒⭒⭒⭒⭒⭒⭒⭒⭒⭒⭒⭒⭒⭒⭒⭒⭒⭒⭒⭒ When Becca Morgan walked through the doors of her old high school, she never expected to get pulled back into the world of theater.

My translations from Russian and Ukrainian into English

"Dubliners" is a collection of 15 short stories by James Joyce. They form a naturalistic depiction of Irish middle class life in and around Dublin in the early years of the 20th century.

Kidnapped from his safe California home. Thrown into a life-and-death struggle in the frozen Arctic wilderness. Half St. Bernard, half shepherd, Buck learns many hard lessons as a sled dog, the lesson of the lash, of the cold, of near-starvation and cruelty. And the greatest lesson he learns from his last owner, John Thornton: the power of love and loyalty. Yet always, even at the side of the human he loves, Buck feels the pull in his bones, an urge to answer his wolf ancestors as they howl to him. -- By Jack London Published in 1903 This book belongs to the public domain and is available for anyone in the public to read or copy.

Siddhartha is a novel by Hermann Hesse that deals with the spiritual journey of self-discovery of a man named Siddhartha during the time of the Gautama Buddha. The book, Hesse's ninth novel, was written in German, in a simple, lyrical style. It was published in the U.S. in 1951 and became influential during the 1960s. Hesse dedicated the first part of it to Romain Rolland and the second to Wilhelm Gundert, his cousin. The word Siddhartha is made up of two words in Sanskrit language, siddha (achieved) + artha (what was searched for), which together means "he who has found meaning (of existence)" or "he who has attained his goals". In fact, the Buddha's own name, before his renunciation, was Siddhartha Gautama, Prince of Kapilavastu. In this book, the Buddha is referred to as "Gotama". Cover by: @Sapphire_2721

"Black Beauty" is narrated as an autobiographical memoir told by the titular horse named Black Beauty—beginning with his carefree days as a colt on an English farm with his mother, to his difficult life pulling cabs in London, to his happy retirement in the country. Along the way, he meets with many hardships and recounts many tales of cruelty and kindness.

A tale known for its intense, unsettling power and an irresistible love that consumes...Where before the hatred, there was a savage, singular pulse. In the flickering shadows of a cold kitchen, a single overheard word-degrade-threatened to destroy everything. But instead of fleeing into the night and causing destruction, the flight is intercepted in time and a collision of desperate souls leads not to a quiet exit, but to an explosive confrontation that lays bare their shared, primal nature. Wuthering Heights becomes a cage. When the moment of choice between the genteel Linton and the uncivilized outsider Heathcliff, Catherine makes up her mind. But her decision leads her to be cast into the dark; starved, frozen, and confined to an attic cell utterly alone in the dark. Will she end up broken and destitute or is the abyss merely waiting for its master to return and burn the world down to reach her?
