Beschreibung

In "Holly Berries from Dickens," readers are invited to explore a rich anthology of Charles Dickens' seasonal short stories that encapsulate the spirit of Christmas through his signature blend of vivid characterizations and moral lessons. This compilation showcases Dickens' ability to weave social commentary with enchanting narratives, portraying the joys and hardships of Victorian life. With its pastoral imagery and poignant prose, the collection serves as a reflection of the festive spirit, while addressing themes of generosity, redemption, and humanity. Charles Dickens, a titan of 19th-century literature, was deeply influenced by his own experiences of poverty and social reform. His festive tales were rooted in a desire to illuminate societal injustices and advocate for the less fortunate. Having faced his childhood struggles, Dickens viewed Christmas as an opportunity for renewal and compassion, which is beautifully reflected in his stories. His works not only aim to entertain but also to provoke thoughtful discourse on morality and social responsibility. "Holly Berries from Dickens" is a delightful read for those looking to immerse themselves in the warmth of the holiday spirit while contemplating deeper themes of kindness and community. This anthology is perfect for both devoted Dickens enthusiasts and newcomers alike, providing critical insights into the man behind the stories, and enriching the reader's understanding of the era that shaped his work.

    Babbitt (1922), by Sinclair Lewis, is a satirical novel about American culture and society that critiques the vacuity of middle class life and the social pressure toward conformity. The controversy provoked by Babbitt was influential in the decision to award the Nobel Prize in Literature to Lewis in 1930.
    The word Babbitt entered the English language as a "person and especially a business or professional man who conforms unthinkingly to prevailing middle-class standards".

    Go Beyond Your Wettest Dreams... as If You Are Penniless and Yet Listening From Outside the Globe Theater! 
    In the last decade of the 16th century, William Shakespeare could not dare write A Midsummer Night's (Wet) Dream unabridged. By the happenchance of his birth-century, The Bard wrote in a poetic 'Shakespearean Code', hinting at sexualities and paraphilias he fully intended to compose and expose his Elizabethan audience to. His intended 'erotica for every fetish' morphed instead into a 'humane and wise drama' by happenchance.  
    But What If? there was a multiversal reality where the Marquis de Sade deciphered the Shakespearean Code during his long stay at the lunatic asylum at Charenton. But now Ophelia T'Wat, living in a much more sexually accepting century, can reach across realities to snatch these pages from the bloody quill of the Marquis and finally, fatefully publish the Wettest Midsummer Night'sDream conceivable!

    Lucy Maud Montgomery (November 30, 1874 - April 24, 1942), published as L. M. Montgomery, was a Canadian author best known for a series of novels beginning in 1908 with Anne of Green Gables. The book was an immediate success. The title character, orphan Anne Shirley, made Montgomery famous in her lifetime and gave her an international following.
    Margaret's Patient: Margaret paused a moment at the gate and looked back at the quaint old house under its snowy firs with a thrill of proprietary affection. It was her home; for the first time in her life she had a real home, and the long, weary years of poorly paid drudgery were all behind her.
