Sinopsis

D. H. Lawrence: The Complete Novels, part of the esteemed Giants of Literature series, presents an exhaustive anthology of Lawrence's narrative masterpieces that interrogate the complexities of human relationships, sexuality, and the individual's quest for authenticity. With a distinctive prose style characterized by vivid imagery and psychological depth, Lawrence's works, such as "Sons and Lovers," "Women in Love," and "Lady Chatterley's Lover," reflect the tumultuous social changes of the early 20th century, infusing his characters with existential dilemmas and a profound sense of place. This compilation not only preserves Lawrence's innovative storytelling but also situates his oeuvre within the broader context of modernism, offering insights into the struggles of modern existence amid a rapidly industrializing world. D. H. Lawrence (1885-1930) emerged from the working-class milieu of Nottinghamshire, England, which deeply influenced his worldview and literary voice. His life experiences, including his fraught relationships and intense personal struggles, often surface in his novels, providing a lens through which he critiques the norms of his time. A passionate advocate for emotional truth and individual freedom, Lawrence often delved into taboo subjects, challenging societal conventions and embracing themes of sexuality, instinct, and spirituality. This comprehensive volume is a must-read for anyone interested in exploring the depths of human experience through Lawrence's penetrating insights.

The Possessed

Fyodor Dostoevsky

A quiet town. A secret circle. A spark that turns ideology into violence.
When a group of radical young men plot to ignite political chaos, their plans unleash paranoia, betrayal, and deadly fanaticism. Drawn into the storm are Stepan Verkhovensky, his ruthless son Pyotr, and the tormented Stavrogin—whose chilling charisma and hidden crimes haunt everyone around him. As tensions spiral, the town becomes a battleground where ideals twist into madness and destruction.

Praised as "one of the most prophetic and terrifying political novels ever written," Dostoevsky's masterpiece lays bare the psychology of extremism and the fragile nature of society. Its intensity, philosophical insight, and unforgettable characters make it one of his most powerful works.

If you crave dark political drama, psychological depth, and a story that feels shockingly modern, this novel will grip you until the final, devastating page.

Open the book—and enter a world possessed by ideas that burn too fiercely to control.

The Tragedy of King Lear

William Shakespeare

King Lear is a tragedy written by William Shakespeare. It tells the tale of a king who bequeaths his power and land to two of his three daughters, after they declare their love for him in an extremely fawning and obsequious manner. His third daughter gets nothing, because she will not flatter him as her sisters had done. When he feels disrespected by the two daughters who now have his wealth and power, he becomes furious to the point of madness. He eventually becomes tenderly reconciled to his third daughter, just before tragedy strikes her and then the king.
Derived from the legend of Leir of Britain, a mythological pre-Roman Celtic king, the play has been widely adapted for the stage and motion pictures, with the title role coveted by many of the world's most accomplished actors.
The first attribution to Shakespeare of this play, originally drafted in 1605 or 1606 at the latest with its first known performance on St. Stephen's Day in 1606, was a 1608 publication in a quarto of uncertain provenance, in which the play is listed as a history; it may be an early draft or simply reflect the first performance text. The Tragedy of King Lear, a revised version that is better tailored for performance, was included in the 1623 First Folio. Modern editors usually conflate the two, though some insist that each version has its own individual integrity that should be preserved.
Among the most significant works William Shakespeare: Hamlet, Othello, King Lear, Macbeth, Orpheus, Romeo and Juliet, Julius Caesar, Troilus and Cressida, The Tempest, Venus and Adonis, Antony and Cleopatra, Measure for Measure, The Winter's Tale and many more.
