Sinossi

The Brontë Sisters - The Complete Novels offers a profound exploration of the human psyche, entrenched in themes of love, social criticism, and the struggle for identity. This anthology encompasses a range of literary styles, from the passionate romanticism of *Wuthering Heights* to the incisive social commentary of *Jane Eyre*. The Brontë sisters' work, with its unique combination of Gothic and realist styles, serves as a touchstone in the evolution of English literature, providing readers with some of the 19th century's most influential works. Dive into the stark moorlands depicted in these pages and experience narratives that confront societal norms and personal dilemmas with unflinching honesty. Charlotte, Emily, and Anne Brontë, as pioneering female voices within a patriarchal Victorian society, provide a diversity of perspectives that interrogate the roles of women in their time. Their collective works align with the movement towards more personal and psychologically complex narratives that characterized the era's transition from Romanticism to Realism. Together, their novels enrich the literary tapestry with insights drawn from their own experiences, challenging stereotypes and advocating for a nuanced understanding of human nature and moral complexity. This compendium presents a unique opportunity to engage with the radical ideas and literary innovations of the Brontë sisters in one definitive volume. It serves not only as an essential entry point for students and enthusiasts of classic literature but also as a profound invitation to explore the dynamic interplay between personal and universal themes that remain relevant today. As readers delve into this comprehensive collection, they will find a fertile ground for reflection and dialogue, offered through the profoundly different yet complementary voices of three of literature's most compelling figures.

    James Augustine Aloysius Joyce was born on the 2nd February 1882 in Dublin into a middle-class family, and the eldest of ten surviving siblings 
    Admired as a brilliant student he briefly attended the Christian Brothers-run O'Connell School before excelling at the Jesuit schools of Clongowes and Belvedere.  From there he went on to attend University College Dublin from 1898, studying English, French and Italian 
    In 1902, Joyce was now in his early twenties, and went to Paris to study Medicine but soon abandoned his teachings.  Back in Dublin to attend to his dying Mother he met Nora Barnacle. They bonded immediately into a life-long match. Together they decided to emigrate to Europe.  The couple lived in Trieste, Rome, Paris, and finally Zürich where Joyce pursued a variety of jobs and ventures to supplement his literary pursuits but none of these paid off.  
    After publishing a poetry volume, ‘Chamber Music’, in 1907, his short story collection ‘The Dubliners’, in 1914, helped establish his talent in the rapidly changing world.  
    Although far from home Joyce’s literary heart and works were set in his recollections of Dublin.  Characters are close resemblances of family and friends and indeed enemies.  His landmark work ‘Ulysses’, published in 1922, is set in the streets and alleyways of the city as it parallels Homer’s Odyssey in a variety of styles including its famed stream of consciousness. 
    His pen continued to produce classics of the order of ‘A Portrait of the Artist as A Young Man’ and ‘Finnegan’s Wake’ together with several volumes of poetry and a play ‘The Exiles, in 1918.   
    On the 11th January 1941, Joyce underwent surgery in Zürich for a perforated duodenal ulcer. The next day he fell into a coma. On the 13th after a brief period of lucidity in which he called for his wife and son he passed.  He was 58.

    In this landmark collection, William T. Vollmann offers a kaleidoscopic retrospective of the visual artwork he has produced over four decades, with new commentary from Vollmann on his process, inspiration, and the many intersections with his writing. 
     
     
     
    The celebrated author of over twenty-five books (among them the National Book Award–winning novel Europe Central; the seven-volume Rising Up and Rising Down, based on Vollmann's career as a war correspondent; and the two-volume climate change investigation Carbon Ideologies), Vollmann's equally ambitious and prolific career as a photographer, printmaker, and painter reflects the artist's deep interest in people existing on the margins, a profound empathy for his subjects, and the humility and generosity to meet them on their terms. 
     
     
     
    In Shadows of Love, Shadows of Loneliness, a series of essays commissioned especially for this book lays out Vollmann's views on what photographs can and should say, how he chooses what to represent (beauty, suffering, compassion, love, desire, ideology), thoughts on photographic consensuality, and any number of technical descriptions. Particularly useful for Vollmann fans and scholars are the cross-references between these artistic and photographic projects and his books.
