  The Lifted Veil

  George Eliot

  George Eliot’s The Lifted Veil was first published in Blackwood’s Edinburgh Magazine in 1859 and has now become one of the author’s most widely read and critically discussed stories. Told from the point of view of a young, egocentric, and morbid clairvoyant man, Latimer, it is a dark fantasy portrait of an artist whose visionary powers merely blight his life. The story reflected the scientific interest of the time in the physiology of the brain, mesmerism, phrenology, and experiments in revivification. It also is a reflection of the author’s moral philosophy. 
  The Lifted Veil is a significant part of the Victorian tradition of horror fiction, along with Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, Robert Louis Stevenson’s The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, and Bram Stoker’s Dracula.

  Step into the Most Bold and Imaginative "Biography" Ever Written.
  
  Spanning three centuries and two genders, Virginia Woolf's Orlando is a dizzying, poetic journey through history and identity. The story begins in the Elizabethan era with Orlando, a young nobleman and aspiring poet who enjoys the favor of the Queen. After falling into a deep sleep that lasts days, Orlando awakens in the 18th century to find they have undergone a mysterious transformation: they are now a woman.
  
  Unburdened by the constraints of time or biology, Orlando lives through the Enlightenment, the Victorian era, and into the "present" day of 1928. Throughout this incredible voyage, Woolf explores the fluidity of the human spirit, the art of writing, and the shifting roles of men and women in society.
  
  Written as a "love letter" to Vita Sackville-West, Orlando is a cornerstone of queer literature and a daring departure from the traditional novel. It remains one of Woolf's most accessible and joyful works—a high-spirited blend of historical fiction, satire, and fantasy.
  
  Experience a story that transcends time and gender. Buy "Orlando" today and discover a masterpiece of modern imagination.

  We came into the world like brother and brother; And now let's go hand in hand, not one before another. - Dromio of Ephesus 
  The Comedy of Errors is likely the very first play Shakespeare ever wrote, and for that reason alone it deserves a special place in literary history. Yet, despite the author's lack of maturity, the play is unmistakably the work of a burgeoning master. A farce of a type that was wildly popular in Shakespeare's day, The Comedy of Errors transcends its genre, and is as accessible and as entertaining as any of the Bard's later comedies. Revolving around the naturally comedic themes of identical twins and mistaken identity, The Comedy of Errors is a delightful milestone in the remarkable career of the greatest dramatist of all time.
