Synopsis

The Harvard Classics anthology, comprising all 20 volumes in a single edition, stands as a monumental collection that encompasses an unmatched breadth of the Western literary canon. This volume unfolds an extraordinary panorama of literary styles, from the intricate psychological novels of the 19th century to the foundational texts of modern storytelling. It transcends geographical and temporal boundaries to include works by pivotal figures such as Charles Dickens, Leo Tolstoy, and Jane Austen, alongside seminal pieces from Edgar Allan Poe and Mark Twain. This collection not only underlines the diversity and complexity of human experience but also showcases landmark contributions to literary genres, ranging from romanticism to realism and beyond, underlining the universal themes of love, conflict, and the quest for identity. The contributing authors, a veritable who's who of the literary landscape from across Europe and America, bring with them not just their unique voices but also the contexts of their times, offering a tapestry of cultural and historical perspectives. These writers, from the romantic agony of Jane Austen and George Sand to the social narratives of Charles Dickens and George Eliot, from the American transcendentalism of Nathaniel Hawthorne to the realism of Ivan Turgenev, collectively reflect a myriad of literary movements. Their works, borne out of different epochs and ideologies, converge in this collection to chart the evolution of literary thought and its response to societal shifts, effectively framing the anthology as a critical discourse on human morality, societal structures, and personal introspection. This edition of the Harvard Classics is an indispensable resource for readers seeking to immerse themselves in the wealth of human experiences and philosophical enquiries that literature offers. It promises an expansive journey through the minds of some of the world's most celebrated writers, providing not just entertainment but profound insights. Scholars, students, and avid readers alike will find in this collection a gateway to exploring the depths of literary artistry and the myriad ways in which literature has shaped, and been shaped by, humanity's collective history and consciousness.

In Cuba, Castro has finally relinquished power. . . . now a mysterious exile (Che Guevara?) returns to finish the revolution.When a strange man appears in rural towns around Cuba quietly advocating a new kind of politics he calls "the True Republic," old-timers begin to suspect that the elderly stranger, who calls himself Ernesto Blanco, may actually be the martyr Ernesto "Che" Guevara. Shortly after Blanco's appearance, Fidel Castro steps down from power in exchange for a commitment from the United States to recognize Cuba and lift the crippling embargo. Two traditional parties quickly form: one is a successor to the Communist Party and the other is composed of U.S. and Mafia-backed Cuban exiles. As the True Republic movement spreads like wildfire throughout Cuba, each faction devises a plot to get rid of Ernesto Blanco—by assassination if necessary.

Set in Chepsford, a fictional industrial Border town characterised by drunkenness and brawls, it takes suffering as its subject matter. Domestic life is unsettled by strong opinions on love and sin, while notions of religion and fate are debated with passionate intensity.

At the same time as Margiad Evans draws a compelling portrait of Chepsford's violence and dissipation, her interest in the very process of writing and the possibilities and limitations of language are also inscribed in the novel. Her fiction is the result of 'translating what I have learnt into scribbled words on thin paper, pinned together with ordinary pins from a pink card'.

Published in 1936, Margiad Evans's fourth and final novel.

Howard's End is about three families in England at the beginning of the twentieth century. The three families represent different gradations of the Edwardian middle class: the Wilcoxes, who are rich capitalists with a fortune made in the Colonies; the half-German Schlegel siblings (Margaret, Tibby, and Helen), who represent the intellectual bourgeoisie and have a lot in common with the real-life Bloomsbury Group; and the Basts, a couple who are struggling members of the lower-middle class. The Schlegel sisters try to help the poor Basts and try to make the Wilcoxes less prejudiced.
