Indian Child Life
The author was raised as an American Indian and describes what it was like to be an Indian boy (the first 7 chapters) and an Indian Girl (the last 7 chapters). This is very different from the slanted way the white man tried to picture them as 'savages' and 'brutes.'Quote: Dear Children:—You will like to know that the man who wrote these true stories is himself one of the people he describes so pleasantly and so lovingly for you. He hopes that when you have finished this book, the Indians will seem to you very real and very friendly. He is not willing that all your knowledge of the race that formerly possessed this continent should come from the lips of strangers and enemies, or that you s...

The Pioneers
The Pioneers is set against the background of pioneering life in the Gippsland region of Victoria in pre-Federation Australia.

Chronicles of Count Antonio
How it fell out that Count Antonio, a man of high lineage, forsook the service of his Prince, disdained the obligation of his rank, set law at naught, and did what seemed indeed in his own eyes to be good but was held by many to be nothing other than the work of a rebel and a brigand. Yet, although it is by these names that men often speak of him, they love his memory; and I also, Ambrose the Franciscan, having gathered diligently all that I could come by in the archives of the city or from the lips of aged folk, have learned to love it in some sort. A tale that lovers must read in pride and sorrow, and, if this be not too high a hope, that princes may study for profit and for warning.
Esaú e Jacó
Esaú e Jacó é o penúltimo livro de Machado de Assis, lançado em 1904. No título do livro, o autor remete à contrariedade entre os irmãos Esaú e Jacó da narrativa bíblica, para servir de paralelo à história de vida dos irmãos Pedro e Paulo, filhos da alta burguesia carioca, que vivem a passagem do Brasil império para o Brasil república: Paulo se põe do lado dos republicanos, Pedro dos monarquistas. A contraposição de temperamento dos dois irmãos, assim como os constantes debates de opiniões por eles travados durante a narrativa, permitiu a Machado de Assis construir magistralmente um complexo quadro das contradições e conflitos ideológicos em jogo no Brasil pós-Independência.
