Synopsis

In 'Jane Eyre + Wuthering Heights (2 Unabridged Classics)', readers are presented with a compelling juxtaposition of two of the most revered works in English literature, embodying the profound exploration of passion, morality, and social criticism of the 19th century. Despite originating from the same household, these novels diverge vastly in narrative style, thematic focus, and emotional depth, offering an unparalleled look at the literary genius of the Brontë sisters. From the dark, brooding Yorkshire moors in 'Wuthering Heights' to the complex moral landscapes navigated by 'Jane Eyre', this collection showcases the range and significance of the authors' contributions to the period's literary canon. Charlotte and Emily Brontë, hailing from a reclusive family living on the Yorkshire moors, have etched their distinctive visions into the fabric of English literature. Their works, products of their remarkably isolated yet intellectually rich upbringing, echo with the themes of isolation, social class divisiveness, and the struggles of the individual against a judgmental society. This anthology not only presents their masterpieces in dialogue with each other but also encapsulates the essence of Victorian concerns, marrying personal affliction with broader societal commentary. This collection is a must-read for those intrigued by the depth and diversity of human experience as reflected through the Victorian lens. Readers are invited to traverse the emotional landscapes curated by the Brontë sisters, whose works continue to resonate with audiences for their raw emotional power and intricate psychological depth. 'Jane Eyre + Wuthering Heights (2 Unabridged Classics)' opens a portal to the past, offering insights into the human condition that remain poignantly relevant today.

    Many of us are cautious around dogs.  However friendly they seem their energy and open panting jaws seem to summon some primitive instinct within us to be aware. 
     
    Once we advance to wolves those fears become rather more persuasive. Their wild and seemingly vicious, determined natures can induce panic in even the most foolhardy of us.  Nature admires winners. 
     
    From there it is but a short step to the supernatural evil of Werewolves.  Now fear is definitely the thing we feel pulsing through our veins summoning a flight response.  But no matter what our hopes are werewolves, whether real or in the imaginations of this cast of chilling unrepentant authors, stroke knowing chords of terror into every sentence, as the pages turn our uneasiness begins to escalate.  Terror begins to track our every step.

    'Wintry Peacock' is, on the surface, a tale of misdirected love or even irresponsible love, the relationship between the wife and the peacock being the most strange but it is the conspiracy of the two men in the story to prevent the truth coming out about the husband's love child that is most disturbing. The innocent are punished and the guilty get away with their sins and the author goes laughing down the hill at the end of the story.

    The tragic but doomed love of Marguerite and Armand, recounted so passionately in La Dame aux Camélias, became one of the great love stories from its first publication in 1848. The title role of the consumptive heroine and her ultimate sacrifice inspired actresses from Sarah Bernhardt to Greta Garbo – and Giuseppe Verdi to write La Traviata. In this sound dramatisation, the story of passion and conflict is as fresh and compelling as when it was first written.

    A brief biographical sketch of Franklin's life, followed by a collection (published in 1899) of 670 aphorisms, apothegms, or proverbs - short, pithy, instructive sayings - that were scattered throughout the pages of his Poor Richard's Almanack over its 25 years of once-a-year publication (1732-1758). Many of these sayings are familiar to all . . . "a penny saved is a penny earned" . . . "a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush" . . . but there are many more for you to laugh at, ponder over and learn from! Most were not invented by him, but these little gems of wisdom Franklin gleaned from all over the world are what made his Almanack so wildly popular, and himself a wealthy man.Benjamin Franklin FRS FRSA FRSE was an American polymath who was active as a writer, scientist, inventor, statesman, diplomat, printer, publisher, and political philosopher.
