Sinossi

In 'The Classics of World Literature in One Volume,' readers are invited to traverse the magnificent landscapes of world literature, embracing a spectrum of narrative styles and themes that have transcended time and space. This carefully curated anthology captures the essences of romance, adventure, tragedy, philosophy, and human introspection in its diverse tapestry of stories, essays, and poems. From the insightful musings of ancient philosophers like Plato and Confucius to the poignant narrations of 19th-century novelists like Charles Dickens and Leo Tolstoy, the collection offers a kaleidoscopic view of humanity's enduring quest for meaning and connection. Notable works within the compilation shine a light on the universal concerns that bind us through the ages, weaving a rich textual fabric of life's complexity. The collaboration of such a diverse set of renowned authors reflects the anthology's commitment to capturing the vibrant intersection of historical, cultural, and literary traditions. As figures like Rabindranath Tagore offer insights from the East and writers such as Mark Twain and Jane Austen contribute their distinctly Western perspectives, the volume becomes a dynamic confluence of global narratives. Tying into various movements—from the Enlightenment ideas of Voltaire to the Romantic philosophies of Keats—the anthology celebrates the shared human condition through its multitude of voices. Collectively, these authors exhibit the power of literature to transcend boundaries and propel intellectual and emotional dialogues across generations. For both seasoned readers and literary newcomers, this anthology presents a remarkable opportunity to engage with a broad array of perspectives and styles under one literary roof. Its educational merit lies not only in the historical breadth it covers but also in the thematic richness and thought-provoking exchanges it encourages. As readers immerse themselves in the eloquence of Goethe or the imaginative worlds of Jules Verne, they partake in a global conversation that has shaped, and continues to shape, our shared literary heritage. The collection offers a timeless exploration of humanity, making it a quintessential addition to any literary enthusiast's library.

    George Robert Gissing was born on November 22nd, 1857 in Wakefield, Yorkshire.  
    He was educated at Back Lane School in Wakefield. Gissing loved school. He was enthusiastic with a thirst for learning and always diligent.  By the age of ten he was reading Dickens, a lifelong hero. 
    In 1872 Gissing won a scholarship to Owens College. Whilst there Gissing worked hard but remained solitary. Unfortunately, he had run short of funds and stole from his fellow students. He was arrested, prosecuted, found guilty, expelled and sentenced to a month's hard labour in 1876. 
    On release he decided to start over.  In September 1876 he travelled to the United States. Here he wrote short stories for the Chicago Tribune and other newspapers. On his return home he was ready for novels. 
    Gissing self-published his first novel but it failed to sell.  His second was acquired but never published. His writing career was static.  Something had to change.  And it did. 
    By 1884 The Unclassed was published.  Now everything he wrote was published. Both Isabel Claren-don and Demos appeared in 1886. He mined the lives of the working class as diligently as any capitalist. 
    In 1889 Gissing used the proceeds from the sale of The Nether World to go to Italy. This trip formed the basis for his 1890 work The Emancipated. 
    Gissing's works began to command higher payments. New Grub Street (1891) brought a fee of £250.  
    Short stories followed and in 1895, three novellas were published; Eve's Ransom, The Paying Guest and Sleeping Fires. Gissing was careful to keep up with the changing attitudes of his audience.  
    Unfortunately, he was also diagnosed as suffering from emphysema. The last years of his life were spent as a semi-invalid in France but he continued to write. 1899; The Crown of Life. Our Friend the Charlatan appeared in 1901, followed two years later by The Private Papers of Henry Ryecroft. 
    George Robert Gissing died aged 46 on December 28th, 1903 after catching a chill on a winter walk.
