Beschreibung

A young man's search for purpose leads him far from home—and into the depths of the human heart.
Written before Jane Eyre but published posthumously, The Professor tells the story of William Crimsworth, an orphaned Englishman who rejects a safe but stifling life in trade to seek opportunity abroad. In Belgium, he becomes a teacher at a girls' school, where ambition, rivalry, and romance intertwine.

Through William's eyes, Charlotte Brontë explores themes of independence, integrity, and cultural contrast, offering sharp observations on gender roles, education, and moral character. While less dramatic than her later works, the novel reveals the seeds of Brontë's literary genius—crisp prose, nuanced character studies, and a strong moral core.

"A rare glimpse into Brontë's early craft—full of insight, atmosphere, and conviction."
– The Guardian

"An understated yet rewarding novel, blending realism with quiet passion."
– The New York Times

In a series of monologues, he presents his cynical and often contradictory views on human nature, society, and free will.

Instead, he argues that irrationality, spite, and self-destruction are essential aspects of human existence.In the second half of the novel, the narrator recounts key moments from his past, offering a deeper glimpse into his inner struggles. His interactions with others reveal his deep-seated resentment and inability to form genuine connections. Notes from Underground is a powerful and provocative examination of alienation and the human psyche, making it one of the most influential works in existential literature. Dostoevsky's exploration of self-awareness and inner turmoil continues to resonate with readers today.

    Edgar Poe was born in Boston Massachusetts on 19th January 1809. His father abandoned his family the following year and within a year his mother had died leaving him an orphan.   
    He was taken in by the Allan family but never formally adopted although he now referred to himself as Edgar Allan Poe.  His father alternatively spoiled or chastised him and tension was frequent over gambling debts and monies for his education.  His university years to study ancient and modern languages was cut short by lack of money and he enlisted as a private in the army claiming he was 22, it is more probable he was 18. After 2 years he obtained a discharge in order to take up an appointment at the military academy, West Point, where he failed to become an officer. 
    Poe had released his 1st poetry volume in 1827 and after his 3rd turned to prose and placing short stories in several magazines and journals.  At age 26 he obtained a licence to marry his cousin.  She was a mere 13 but they stayed together until her death from tuberculosis 11 years after. 
    In January 1845 ‘The Raven’ was published and became an instant classic.  Thereafter followed the prose works for which he is now so rightly famed as a master of the mysterious and the macabre. 
    Edgar Allan Poe died at the tragically early age of 40 on 7th October 1849 in Baltimore, Maryland. Newspapers at the time reported Poe's death as ‘congestion of the brain’ or ‘cerebral inflammation’, common euphemisms for death from disreputable causes such as alcoholism but the actual cause of death remains a mystery.

    Jack London (born John Griffith Chaney, January 12, 1876 - November 22, 1916) was an American author, journalist, and social activist. He was a pioneer in the then-burgeoning world of commercial magazine fiction and was one of the first fiction writers to obtain worldwide celebrity and a large fortune from his fiction alone.
    THE UNEXPECTED: It is a simple matter to see the obvious, to do the expected. The tendency of the individual life is to be static rather than dynamic, and this tendency is made into a propulsion by civilization, where the obvious only is seen, and the unexpected rarely happens.
