Read FICTION books online

Reading books fiction Have you ever thought about what fiction is? Probably, such a question may seem surprising: and so everything is clear. Every person throughout his life has to repeatedly create the works he needs for specific purposes - statements, autobiographies, dictations - using not gypsum or clay, not musical notes, not paints, but just a word. At the same time, almost every person will be very surprised if he is told that he thereby created a work of fiction, which is very different from visual art, music and sculpture making. However, everyone understands that a student's essay or dictation is fundamentally different from novels, short stories, news that are created by professional writers. In the works of professionals there is the most important difference - excogitation. But, oddly enough, in a school literature course, you don’t realize the full power of fiction. So using our website in your free time discover fiction for yourself.



Fiction genre suitable for people of all ages. Everyone will find something interesting for themselves. Our electronic library is always at your service. Reading online free books without registration. Nowadays ebooks are convenient and efficient. After all, don’t forget: literature exists and develops largely thanks to readers.
The genre of fiction is interesting to read not only by the process of cognition and the desire to empathize with the fate of the hero, this genre is interesting for the ability to rethink one's own life. Of course the reader may accept the author's point of view or disagree with them, but the reader should understand that the author has done a great job and deserves respect. Take a closer look at genre fiction in all its manifestations in our elibrary.

PREFACE TO THE FIRST VOLUME.

 

The present volume contains an account of the Passeres of the Argentine

Republic, which, as at present known, number some 229 species. The

second volume, which it is hoped will be ready in the course of next

year, will be devoted to the history of the remaining Orders of Birds,

and will also contain the Introduction and Index, and complete the work.

 

All the personal observations recorded in these pages are due to Mr.

Hudson, while I am responsible for the arrangement, nomenclature, and

scientific portions of the work.

 

I have to acknowledge with many thanks a donation of £40 from the Royal

Society, which has enabled Mr. Hudson to devote a portion of his time to

the compilation of his interesting notes.
