Sinopse

Deadly Sails - Complete Collection offers an enthralling voyage through the turbulent seascapes of classic literature, charting a course across an eclectic array of storytelling styles and thematic depths. This anthology, a treasure trove of maritime exploits and nautical intrigue, gathers timeless tales that traverse the spectral shadows of gothic horror, the buoyant winds of romance, and the invigorating currents of adventure. Among its many gems, the collection showcases haunting reflections on peril at sea, romantic maritime escapades, and vivid portrayals of life on the oceans, all crafted by masters of the written word. The anthology assembles a formidable roster of literary icons, each contributing their unique voice to the collection's overarching theme of sea-bound peril and discovery. Rooted in the rich traditions of 19th and early 20th-century literature, these stories reflect the evolving perspectives of the Industrial era's rapidly changing world and the perennial fascination with the sea's mysteries. The juxtaposition of authors from different cultural and historical contexts provides a multifaceted look into the era's collective psyche, where romanticism was often at odds with the unforgiving nature of reality. For readers eager to embark on a literary journey encompassing sweeping adventures and thought-provoking narratives, Deadly Sails - Complete Collection presents an unparalleled opportunity. By delving into this compilation, one gains access to a rich tapestry of human experience as seen through the eyes of some of history's most venerable writers.

    Hector Hugh Munro (18 December 1870 – 14 November 1916), better known by the pen name Saki and also frequently as H. H. Munro, was a British writer whose witty, mischievous and sometimes macabre stories satirize Edwardian society and culture. He is considered a master of the short story, and often compared to O. Henry and Dorothy Parker. Influenced by Oscar Wilde, Lewis Carroll and Rudyard Kipling, he himself influenced A. A. Milne, Noël Coward and P. G. Wodehouse.Besides his short stories, he wrote a full-length play, The Watched Pot, in collaboration with Charles Maude; two one-act plays; a historical study, The Rise of the Russian Empire (the only book published under his own name); a short novel, The Unbearable Bassington; the episodic The Westminster Alice (a parliamentary parody of Alice in Wonderland); and When William Came, subtitled A Story of London Under the Hohenzollerns, a fantasy about a future German invasion and occupation of Britain.This collection includes the works of Saki: The Unrest-CureThe Music on the Hill

    What if the greatest threat to society wasn’t ignorance—but cleverness without conscience? 
    Clouds by Aristophanes is a scathing comedic masterpiece that lampoons Socratic philosophy and the Athenian obsession with rhetorical trickery. This modern translation revives the wit, rhythm, and political punch of Aristophanes’ classic play, in which a debt-ridden father seeks to cheat his way to freedom by mastering the art of deceit—under the tutelage of a ridiculous, cloud-dwelling Socrates. 
    What you’ll discover inside: 
    •	A satirical comedy skewering philosophy, education, and generational conflict 
    •	A wildly irreverent portrait of Socrates and his absurd “Thinkery” 
    •	A sharp critique of sophistry, relativism, and rhetorical manipulation 
    •	A lively and accessible modern translation of Aristophanes’ classic 
    Join the riotous drama where logic tangles, thunder rumbles, and the line between wisdom and foolishness vanishes in the clouds.

    Lady Susan

    Jane Austen

    This high-spirited tale, told through an exchange of letters, is unique in Jane Austen’s small body of work. It is the story of Lady Susan, a brilliant, beautiful and morally reprehensible coquette who delights in making men fall in love with her, deceiving their wives into friendship and even tormenting her own daughter, cruelly bending her to her will.
    
    Austen clearly delighted in her wicked heroine—tracing Lady Susan’s maneuverings to remarry yet continue on with her lover, and to marry off her young daughter, with great wit, zest and unfailing panache.
    
    This little-known gem, Austen’s only epistolary work, is perhaps both her funniest and bitchiest book.
