Lady Chatterley's Lover

D. H. Lawrence

Synopsis

What happens when love defies society's rules?

First published in 1928, Lady Chatterley's Lover by D. H. Lawrence is one of the most discussed and influential novels of the twentieth century. Banned for decades for its frank treatment of intimacy, the novel is now recognized as a profound exploration of human connection, emotional honesty, and personal freedom.

Set in post-World War I England, the story follows Constance Chatterley, trapped in a lifeless marriage and rigid class system. Her relationship with the gamekeeper Oliver Mellors becomes a deeply transformative experience—challenging social conventions, emotional repression, and the divide between mind and body.

More than a controversial love story, this novel is a bold critique of industrial society, class inequality, and emotional alienation. Lawrence's lyrical prose and psychological insight make the book as intellectually powerful as it is emotionally intense.

Troilus and Cressida

William Shakespeare

Troilus and Cressida is a tragedy by William Shakespeare, believed to have been written in 1602. It was described by Frederick S. Boas as one of Shakespeare's problem plays. The play ends on a very bleak note with the death of the noble Trojan Hector and destruction of the love between Troilus and Cressida. The work has in recent years "stimulated exceptionally lively critical debate".
Throughout the play, the tone lurches wildly between bawdy comedy and tragic gloom, and readers and theatre-goers have frequently found it difficult to understand how one is meant to respond to the characters. Several characteristic elements of the play (the most notable being its constant questioning of intrinsic values such as hierarchy, honour and love) have often been viewed as distinctly "modern". 
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.

Top 10 Short Stories The - The...

Edith Wharton, Guy De...

Short stories have always been a sort of instant access into an author’s brain, their soul and heart. A few pages can lift our lives into locations, people and experiences with a sweep of landscape, narration, feelings and emotions that is difficult to achieve elsewhere.

In this series we try to offer up tried and trusted ‘Top Tens’ across many different themes and authors. But any anthology will immediately throw up the questions – Why that story? Why that author?

The theme itself will form the boundaries for our stories which range from well-known classics, newly told, to stories that modern times have overlooked but perfectly exemplify the theme. Throughout the volume our authors whether of instant recognition or new to you are all leviathans of literature.

Some you may disagree with but they will get you thinking; about our choices and about those you would have made. If this volume takes you on a path to discover more of these miniature masterpieces then we have all gained something.

In this volume we enjoy a favourite device of authors; the story is heading one way and suddenly twists in another direction entirely. In the pens of Ambrose Bierce, Nikolai Gogol, Saki and a host of others where you end up is the very question they propose.
