  "I believe in teaching people to be individuals, and to understand other individuals."
  
  Regarded as one of the greatest novels of the 20th century, A Passage to India (1924) is a compelling portrait of a society in the grip of imperialism, exploring the tensions of British colonial rule in India and the deep complexities of cross‑cultural friendship.
  
  When inquisitive schoolteacher Adela Quested and her friend, the thoughtful Mrs. Moore, arrive in the Indian town of Chandrapore, they feel trapped by its insular and prejudiced British community. With the help of the charming and enthusiastic young physician, Dr. Aziz, the ladies set about discovering the "real India", but when an inexplicable incident at the distant Marabar Caves ignites a storm of suspicion and racial tension, Aziz finds himself at the centre of a scandal that rips through both Indian and British society, exposing the fragility of the understanding between them.
  Edward Morgan Forster (1879–1970) was an influential English novelist, essayist, and critic, known for his insightful observations on society and human relationships. He is often recognised as a prominent humanist writer, which reflects in both his literary works and his philosophical outlook; his books highlight the constraints that societal norms impose on individuals and advocate for greater empathy and understanding across class lines. His most famous novels include A Room with a View, Howards End, and A Passage to India, and his posthumously published novel Maurice revealed his identity as a gay man and his belief in the necessity of allowing individuals to live authentically.

  The Christmas Banquet - A yearly...

  Nathaniel Hawthorne

  Nathaniel Hawthorne was born on 4th July 1804 in Salem, Massachusetts, a town synonymous with the earlier Salem Witch Trials. It was instrumental in Hawthorne’s later use of American Gothic and dark romanticism in his writing. 
  He was a mere four years old when his father died and his mother took him and his two sisters to live with her family and then on to their own home in Raymond, Maine. The young Hawthorne had a passion for fiction and poetry and voraciously read the works of Ann Radcliffe, Henry Fielding and Lord Byron. 
  He was sent to college at his maternal uncle’s insistence. During these years he met and befriended Henry Wadsworth Longfellow and future U S president Franklin Pierce. These friendships were lifelong and to have a crucial impact on his writings and career. 
  At college Hawthorne had made attempts at writing short stories and essays but without opportunities to publish. It was only in 1828 that he finally published his novel ‘Franshawe’ to little success and so he began work as editor for the American Magazine of Useful and Entertaining Knowledge. 
  Hawthorne’s short stories were first published in magazines but in 1837 were collected and published as ‘Twice-Told Tales’. A steady literary career still did not come his way and so he worked in a good position at Salem’s port and married the love of his life Sophia Peabody. They moved to live in ‘The Old Manse’ at Concord, Massachusetts. 
  Finally. in 1850 came spectacular literary and commercial success with ‘The Scarlet Letter’ followed by ‘The House of the Seven Gables’ the following year. 
  In 1852, Hawthorne published a biography of presidential candidate Franklin Pierce. After Pierce’s victory he was appointed consul in Liverpool, a position that offered prestige, money and fame. At the end of this appointment he returned several times to Europe before settling in Massachusetts and resuming writing and publication. 
  During the early 1860’s his health declined and on 19th May 1864 during a trip to Plymouth, New Hampshire. He was 59 and was buried in Sleepy Hollow Cemetery in Concord, Massachusetts.

  They say the fastest way to a man’s heart is through his paddle… 
  Alecia Monroe is bubbly, competitive, and has a flair for big ideas. Griffin—her charming, sporty office crush—loves three things. Spreadsheets, Pilot Precise V5 pens, and pickleball. So when the cute blond in the office next to his suggests a weekly company pickleball night, Alecia does what any rational woman would do. 
  She lies about knowing how to play. 
  A few private lessons at a club across town should be enough to bluff her way through. She played tennis in high school—how hard can it be? 
  But her plan unravels when her sweet instructor gets injured, and his replacement is Calder. He’s grumpy, sarcastic, condescending, and clearly not a fan of beginners. Or maybe just not a fan of her. 
  Then Calder shows up at the office pickleball night and exposes every weak spot in her game in front of all her colleagues.
