At the very beginning of autumn, I'm happy to launch the latest title in the Grammaticus Free Library series: "The Ambitious Guest" by Nathaniel Hawthorne. It's an excellent story about the uncertainty of life and the fragility of human aspirations.
โBest Offer Winsโ is a solid page-turner that you wonโt be able to put down until the very end. In terms of genre, it would be best described as a domestic thriller, peppered with dark humour and social commentary on the housing crisis and class anxiety.ย
Iโm happy to present another title in the Grammaticus Free Library series: โSquirrelโ by Mary E. Wilkins Freeman. The PDF comes with vocabulary notes and a grammar exercise on non-standard, dialectal forms used by the author.
In this post weโll get acquainted with Sara Teasdale's poem โSpring Rainโ, first published in 1917. In many ways typical of her style of writing, the poem is simple yet deep, using imagery from the natural world to reflect on the poetโs emotions and memories.
