Summary

In "Going into Society," Charles Dickens masterfully intertwines the intricacies of social class and the complexities of human relationships within the vibrant tapestry of Victorian England. Through the lens of his characteristic wit and keen observation, Dickens explores the lives of various characters as they navigate the expectations and follies of high society. His use of vivid imagery and satirical tone not only entertains but also provokes critical reflection on the moral dilemmas facing individuals within the rigid class structures of the era, making it a notable work in the canon of social commentary. Dickens, an esteemed literary figure and a vocal critic of societal injustices, draws upon his own experiences growing up in poverty and witnessing the stark contrasts of wealth and privilege. These personal encounters with social disparity imbue his writing with authenticity and empathy. "Going into Society" reflects Dickens' deep understanding of human nature and his commitment to revealing the challenges faced by the underprivileged, urging readers to confront societal norms and advocate for change. This remarkable work is essential reading for those who appreciate intricate narratives that delve into social dynamics and human resilience. Dickens' astute observations and engaging storytelling make "Going into Society" not only a reflection of its time but also a timeless examination of class and morality, inviting readers to ponder their own societal roles.

    This is a book about divine dicks, mortal pricks, and some epically long-suffering women. 
The Ancient Greek myths and epics have spent the last few thousand years focusing on all the testosterone and willy-waving that their so-called heroes got up to. Now, at long last, it’s time to shine a light on the goddesses, nymphs and queens who had to endure all that unwanted wooing, the wrath of vengeful gods, and a lot of straight-up misogyny without complaint – or at least none that was considered worth noting. 
Is it really heroic to start a war just because the girl you like fancies someone else? And seriously, when will men stop fobbing off women's ideas as their own? 
These are the Greek myths as you’ve never heard them before. 
Appleseed's Divine Dicks and Mortal Pricks is a novel that reimagines the ancient Greek myths, focusing on the goddesses, nymphs, and queens who have been sidelined in the traditional stories. This humorous pastiche is a delightful blend of mythology and fiction, offering a fresh take on these timeless tales. 
For fans of Margaret Atwood (The Blind Assassin), Ali Hazelwood (Deep End), Rebecca Yarros (The Things We Leave Unfinished), Jonathan Coe (Bournville), and Bea Fitzgerald (Girl, Goddess, Queen).
