Possession (1923) by de la Roche, Mazo

Project: Faded Page | 2026-06-12 | Formats: MOBI, PDF, TEXT, HTML, EPUB

The scene is on a fruit farm in Nova Scotia, and the descriptions of out-of-door life have charm. The young farmer, Derek, forms an illicit connection with an only half-civilized young Indian girl who comes with her tribe to pick the fruit. She returns next year with a baby, and Derek, whose impulses are kind and his nature rather weak, marries the girl. The wretchedness of such a marriage is tragic. To add to the tragedy, Derek is in love with another girl, and she with him. The novel is unusual in subject and treatment, and is sincerely handled.—The Outlook, April 18, 1923

Beyond Desire (1932) by Anderson, Sherwood

Project: Faded Page | 2026-06-12 | Formats: TEXT, HTML, EPUB, MOBI, PDF

Sherwood Anderson’s Beyond Desire is Notable For its criticism of the materialist economy that plagued the workers in the industrial South of the 1930s. The novel denounces the exploitation of men, women, and even children, and calls attention to their struggle to survive in inhumane working conditions. Witnessing the inequities of the industrial South, Anderson protested its economic system and aligned himself with other novelists who in the 1930s sought in communism the solution to the plight of workers.—Celia Esplugas

What is there for an Irish lad to do when the old women of his village start leveling curses at visiting archaeologists, curses that may inadvertantly light upon innocent residents? Mickey Connor has a capital idea—he’ll gather a small band of friends and take them up into the hills, to live there until the tumult in town subsides. But the idyll that Mickey envisions is short-lived. For even in the hills of the newly independent Irish Free State, it’s no easy thing, he discovers, to have “a bit of a war.”

Earth Could Be Fair—A Chronicle (1946) by Paassen, Pierre van

Project: Faded Page | 2026-06-08 | Formats:

Earth Could Be Fair is, as its author says, “A Chronicle.” In fact, it is the story of Pierre van Paassen’s boyhood and youth in Holland; but, though written in the first person, the narrative is concerned more with the little Dutch town of Gorcum, its picturesque character, and the rich variety of its people, than with the author himself. In a very real sense, also, this volume is a contribution to history—the history of the terrible first four decades of the present century, which began for Pierre and his schoolmates with idyllic days and fantastic adventures, and ended in the terror of the Warsaw Ghetto, in the barbaric isles of the Pacific, in a Europe reduced to shambles.—Excerpt from “The Atlantic”
