Dorian, By Nephi Anderson A Latter-day Saint Classic and favorite - now available on Kindle and in print. Below is a review by A Review by Jared F. Heath: Nephi Anderson wrote during the "Home Literature" period of Latter-day Saint literature. This period and Anderson's books participate in truly foundational works of the LDS people, and this book is couched in a very unique period in LDS history. The style is antiquated at best and the story is not as compelling as perhaps a novel by Michael Crichton, but the merits and value of this book lie in his historicity as a foundational text and the brave efforts it took to publish when Anderson did. As far as themes are concerned, the novel deals with the same life, love, and death that prevail in literature across the board. The relationships are surprisingly difficult, and life is, in fact, believable. Characters have flaws, life has disappointments, and questions don't always have answers. The novel sets itself apart as particularly LDS because the characters discuss Brigham Young, the Pearl of Great Price, and other things so specifically LDS without even explaining what they are or where they come from. In the first half of the book, Dorian has three loved ones pass away, and yet the topic of the spirit world doesn't seem to be addressed quite as frankly (or as didactically) as one might have anticipated. Contrary to a knee-jerk reaction against the occasional Sunday school speeches, the moralizing is in fact a strength of the novel. This book, unlike Anderson's Added Upon, was never intended to be a missionary tract. It was written by and for an LDS audience who would understand the themes and ideas being presented. The religious themes throughout, then, serve the same purpose as other philosophical musings. Anderson's penchant for bloviating becomes problematic in certain schools of thought on the purpose of literature. During this novel's time and place of publication, daily life centered on teaching, learning, and growing. The LDS audience, then, would have greatly appreciated the novel as a vehicle for conversing on various ideas, both religious and secular. The plot was not intended to be a gripping tale of adventure so much as an examination of daily life, repentance, and progression--some of the most important themes in Latter-day Saint life, particularly at this time. Dorian is an excellent example of literature at a culture's genesis. The Latter-day Saints are, indeed, a peculiar people, and their literature demands something as unique as their doctrine. Dorian, along with other works during its period, set the foundation of a culture of literature. Anderson is able to hone in on the quotidian concerns of his audience and present to them new possibilities as they continued to carve their existence out of the side of the Rocky Mountains.
"[...]the two newly-made friends went down. Chester met the other elders who were younger men, one destined for Scandinavia, the other for the Netherlands. It did not take long for the four men to become acquainted. Presently the dinner gong sounded, and all became interested in the first meal on ship-board. Practically every one sat down to that dinner, and did full justice to it. For many, that was the only meal eaten for days. Chester was not seated at the same table as his friends. At his right was a chatty old gentleman and at his left a demure lady who ate in silence. Strangeness, however, is soon worn off when a company of people must eat at the same table for a week; that is, [...]."
A Young Folks' History of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
Studying the history of our country creates patriotism and engenders loyalty. For the same reason, a study of the history of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints will implant in our boys and girls a love for its heroes, a loyalty to its principles, and an appreciation of its achievements. By a knowledge of the history of the Church, our young people will prize more highly that heritage given them of God and preserved for them by the sweat and blood of their fathers. The teacher using this little book will understand that it is not exhaustive, but rather suggestive. The teacher should be in possession of much more history than is given here. He should fill in much of the undercurrent of heroism, faith, and devotion exhibited by the characters of the history, very little of which can be given in the text. The importance of this larger knowledge on the part of the teacher will be understood by an examination of the review and questions at the end of each chapter. The aim in these questions is not only to review the facts of the lesson, but by suggestions and reference to bring out more fully deductions and principles. It is believed that by combining the topical and the question methods the best results may be obtained. The topics are to be assigned certain pupils for treatment. Questions should not be limited to those in the book. The teacher should find many more to ask. Special attention is called to the maps. Have pupils locate each important place. Quite a number of dates are found in the text. It is not intended that the pupils should memorize them all. Most of them should be used merely in fixing the relative time between events. It is suggested that the pupils be encouraged to refer to the Church works and other books mentioned in the text. For further preparation the teacher is referred to "The History of the Church," "Cannon's Life of Joseph Smith," "Whitney's History of Utah." The "Faith Promoting Series," Evan's "Hundred Years of Mormonism," etc., will give much interesting and valuable information.

Excerpt from Added Upon: A Story A religion, to be worth while, must give satis factory answers to the great questions of life What am I? Whence came I? What is the object of this life? And What is my destiny? True, we walk by faith, and not by sight, but yet the eye of faith must have some light by which to see. Added Upon is an effort to give in brief an outline of the scheme of things, the ways of God to men as taught by the Gospel of Christ and believed in by the Latter-day Saints; and to justify and praise these ways, by a glance along the Great Plan, from a point in the distant past to a point in the future not so far away, it is to be hoped. On subjects where little of a definite character is revealed, the story, of necessity, could not go into great detail. It is suggestive only; but it is hoped that the mind of the reader, illumined by the Spirit of the Lord, will be able to fill in all the details that the heart may desire, to wander at will in the gar den of the Lord, and dwell in peace in the mansions of the Father.
