Synopsis

180 Masterpieces of World Literature (Vol.1) is an ambitious anthology that captures the essence of global literary heritage by assembling a versatile collection of works spanning multiple genres, epochs, and regions. This volume invites readers to traverse through the corridors of human thought, encountering the fantastical inventions of Jules Verne, the introspective poetry of John Keats, and the philosophical discourses of Plato. The editors have meticulously curated this selection to showcase the sweeping canvass of world literature wherein fiction, poetry, essays, and philosophical treatises contribute to an astounding tapestry of thematic explorations from the absurdity of life to the intricacies of human nature. Each composition stands as a testament to the powerful intercultural dialogues that literature fosters across time and space. Contributors to this volume have been pivotal in shaping the literary landscapes of their respective eras and beyond, embedding their works within cultural, philosophical, and socio-political movements that continue to influence contemporary dialogues. The collection bridges the chasm between the romantic musings of the Brontë sisters, the revolutionary critiques of Frederick Douglass, and the modernist innovations of James Joyce, manifesting a rich diversity of voices that transcends national and linguistic barriers. Whether anchoring their narratives in reimaginations of classical myths or confronting the realities of their own cultural milieus, the authors present a cohesive yet variegated exploration of the universal human experience. This anthology is indispensable for those seeking to delve into the varied vistas of world literature woven together in one expansive volume. Expertly navigating the complexities of multiple literary traditions, this collection offers a compelling educational experience, inviting readers to engage with the cultural dialogues and stylistic nuances intrinsic to each piece. 180 Masterpieces of World Literature (Vol.1) serves as both a passport to diverse literary worlds and a mirror reflecting the multifaceted nature of human creativity and thought—a must-read for anyone eager to understand the quintessence of world literature.

    Another fun spanking series: Sweet older ladies can benefit from spankings just as much as naughty little girls. I’m really enjoying this author's genre-busting sexy spanking stories.  
    NJSpank 
    Enjoyable: With so many stories about thin young ladies and men being spanked this perspective was very enjoyable. Some nice erotic moments but spanking was the main theme. Well done and a very nice read

    David Herbert Lawrence was born on the 11th September 1885 in Eastwood, Nottinghamshire, a coal mining town where the reality of a harsh life was only useful as experiences for future literary works. 
    He was educated at Beauvale Board School and became the first local boy to receive a scholarship to attend Nottingham High School. After 3 years he became a junior clerk in Haywood’s surgical appliances factory. He was also attempting a literary career which, in the short term, led to a teacher training position in Eastwood and later a teaching qualification from University College, Nottingham.  
    Lawrence’s first efforts were poems, short stories and a draft of ‘The White Peacock’. Moving to London and a teaching position in Croydon his writing attracted the attention of Ford Madox Ford, editor of The English Review, and he commissioned him to write ‘Odour of Chrysanthemums’.  
    Wanting to write full-time he now began work on what would become ‘Sons and Lovers.   
    In 1912 he met the older and married mother-of-three Frieda Weekley. They eloped to Germany and here Lawrence could see for himself the growing tensions with France.  So keen was his interest that he was arrested and accused of being a British spy.  
    In early 1914 Frieda obtained her divorce and they returned to Britain to be married just days before the outbreak of war. Owing to her German parentage, and his own public dislike of militarism and violence, the couple were treated with contempt and suspicion throughout the war years.  
    Despite this he continued to write but his reputation in England was so tarnished and, mirrored by his own disdain for the country, he and Frieda left England in November 1919, first for Europe and then America via Ceylon and Australia. 
    They bought a ranch in Taos, New Mexico and visited Mexico several times. The third visit in March 1925 caused a near fatal attack of malaria. To convalesce they moved to Florence. Here he continued work on ‘Lady Chatterley’s Lover’ which for many years would cause controversy. A renewed interest in oil painting resulted in an exhibition in 1929 which was raided by the police and several works were confiscated.  
    D H Lawrence died of complications arising from a bout of tuberculosis on the 2nd of March 1930 in Vence, France.  He was 44.
