    What happens when a journey into the geographic unknown becomes a voyage into the darkest depths of the human soul?

Join Marlow, a riverboat captain, as he navigates the dense, oppressive heart of the African Congo on a mission to find the enigmatic and powerful Mr. Kurtz—a brilliant ivory agent who has devolved into a terrifying, god-like figure among the native people. Joseph Conrad's chilling novella is a searing critique of colonial greed, disguised as a suspenseful psychological thriller. Feel the mounting tension and unease as Marlow uncovers the horrors of exploitation and confronts the moral decay that consumes both the 'savage' and the 'civilized' man. This is a masterful, haunting exploration of madness, imperialism, and the thin line between moral righteousness and primal barbarism.

Considered a seminal work of 20th-century literature and the inspiration for countless stories of moral decay (including Apocalypse Now), Heart of Darkness is an essential read for anyone seeking powerful, complex, and enduring fiction.

    This wonderful novella, first published in 1899, has been described as a case study of 19th-century feminism. Kate Chopin began writing the novel in 1897 and, after its publication, it was heavily criticized as "not wholesome", "vulgar" and even "poison" by the press of the time. The novella received such a wave of disdain that the once-popular author was forced into literary obscurity. The Awakening went out of print for more than 50 years. When it was rediscovered in the 1950s, critics were in wonder at its modern sensibility. A second edition was published in 1964. Now widely read, The Awakening is critically acclaimed and it is an absolute must-read for feminists everywhere, not only for its beautiful pros but as an acknowledgment of how far we have come, albeit far more slowly than some might have hoped.

    The Father Brown stories sit in relation to other detective literature much as the diminutive and seemingly unworldly Priest himself often sits; quietly, thoughtfully and often to be overlooked. However, when he at lasts speaks it is with such understanding of human knowledge that the self-styled sophisticates that surround him are dumbfounded.C.K Chesterton is not concerned with the procedural minutiae of the detective’s work, nor with leaving a trail of red herrings with which to keep us guessing. Father Brown reaches his conclusions through staring into the human psyche, indeed, at times, into the human soul.
