Sinopsis

A changing society. Conflicting interests. Women finding their voice in a world of transformation.

Shirley is a powerful Victorian novel by Charlotte Brontë, set against the backdrop of industrial unrest in early 19th-century England.

The story unfolds during a time of economic hardship and social tension, where factory owners, workers, and local communities struggle with change and uncertainty. At the center of the narrative are two strong women, Shirley Keeldar and Caroline Helstone, whose lives reflect different aspects of independence, love, and personal growth.

Through rich character development and social commentary, Brontë explores themes of gender roles, class conflict, industrialization, and emotional resilience.

A thoughtful and socially engaged classic, Shirley offers a vivid portrait of a society in transition and the individuals who seek meaning within it.

Gustav Meyrink was born in Vienna on the 19th January, 1868. 
As a young man he co-founded a bank in Prague, but a personal crisis and a suicide attempt turned his life away from commerce to a study of the occult and a career in literature. 
His early short stories, supernatural, occult and weird, are full of promise, menace and the unusual. 
In 1915 he published his landmark novel ‘Der Golem’ and followed these with others which, whilst noted, failed to achieve the extraordinary heights of the first.  Meyrink was also a prolific and gifted translator of the works of Dickens and others into German. 
After studying Theosophy, Kabbala and other religions he made, in 1927, a late conversion to Buddhism. 
Gustav Meyrink died in Starnberg, Germany on the 4th December 1932.  He was 64.

A small-town couple learn they are named in the will of a distant relative for thirty thousand dollars, and spend the money, in imagination, many times over before the will is read. Twain wrote it late, after his own speculations had cost him a fortune and a lecture tour to pay it back, and the title story is the coldest thing he ever did with money. The other tales here range from broad farce to the eerie, and share one subject: what people will believe when it pays them to. Thirty-five plates of home, work and the writing life by Eastman Johnson and Thomas Eakins accompany the text, matching Twain's small-town world where money is imagined, counted and believed.
