Excerpt from Figures Famed in Fiction, Drawn From the Original Sources To present with few but vivid strokes a number of graphic delineations of noted figures in fiction is the aim of this series of character sketches. These outlines, brief but retaining every essential, have been drawn from the best and most celebrated offerings in the world of novels and are here presented in the hope that they may direct attention to the larger works from which they have been derived and incite desire to become familiar with the originals. Equally important is their mission to those overwhelmed by the multiplicity of demands upon their time in this age of feverish activity. Familiarity with the great characters in story is not only desirable but practically indispensable for intelligent social intercourse, and, in general, for a clearer understanding of life. Therefore these outlines of the famous personnel of the foremost novels of modern times are designed to be of service to the general reader whose acquaintance with the best in literature must be won with the least possible expenditure of time if, indeed, at all. Throughout the series it is the intent to preserve unimpaired the moral strength and the inherent beauty of the original writings, and even in such brief presentations to retain the breadth of the author's conception and a firm grasp on scene and situation. A boon to be coveted indeed is intimacy with the heroes and heroines who always leave an indelible impress on every open mind as they live and act their fascinating roles in the realm of fiction.

From Ancient Greece come stories of The Brave Three Hundred, Alexander and Bucepahlus, and Diogenes the Wise Man. Introducing the history of Rome are the Story of Cincinnatus, Horatius at the Bridge, and Julius Caesar. The stories of William Tell, Arnold Winkelried, and Robin Hood impart a bit of the flavor of the Middle Ages. Rounding out the collection are a number of timeless tales that show heroes in action: Damon and Pythias, The Sword of Damocles, Picciola, and The King and His Hawk.Children naturally take a deep interest in such stories. The reading of them will not only give pleasure but will help to lay the foundation for broader literary studies since nearly all are the subjects of frequent allusions in poetry and prose.

An expansive yet intimate story of desire, artistic ambition, and fidelity, set in the glamorous literary and film circles of 1950s Italy In July of 1953, at a glittering party thrown by Truman Capote in Portofino, Italy, Tennessee Williams and his longtime lover Frank Merlo meet Anja Blomgren, a mysterious young Swedish beauty and aspiring actress. Their encounter will go on to alter all of their lives. Ten years later, Frank revisits the tempestuous events of that fateful summer from his deathbed in Manhattan, where he waits anxiously for Tennessee to visit him one final time. Anja, now legendary film icon Anja Bloom, lives as a recluse in present-day America, until a young man connected to the events of 1953 lures her reluctantly back into the spotlight after he discovers she possesses the only copy of an unknown play--Tennessee's last. What keeps two people together and what breaks them apart? Can we save someone else if we can't save ourselves? With emotional clarity and grace, Leading Men seamlessly weaves fact and fiction to navigate the tensions between public figures and their private lives. In an ultimately heartbreaking story about the burdens of fame and the complex negotiations of life in the shadows of greatness, Castellani creates an unforgettable leading lady in Anja Bloom and reveals the hidden machinery of one of the great literary love stories of the twentieth-century.
