Sinopse

Harvard Classics - The Complete Shelf of Fiction is an exquisite compendium reflecting the zenith of Western narrative tradition. Capturing the sweeping evolution of storytelling, this anthology brings together a glorious tapestry of literary voices, from the philosophical musings of the Enlightenment to the raw sentiments of the Romantic period and the realistic introspections of the Victorian era. The collection traverses diverse styles—from the lush, poetic prose of the Romanticists to the sharp, satirical narratives of the Realists—offering glimpses into the human condition that are both profound and enduring. Standout pieces offer insights into the intricacies of society, love, and morality, crafting a mosaic of literary brilliance that speaks to the timeless nature of these universal themes. The anthology features an array of influential authors whose works have significantly shaped the literary landscape. Spanning continents and centuries, contributors range from the poignant realism of Dickens and Eliot to the psychological depths plumbed by Dostoevsky and James. This rich diversity highlights remarkable cultural narratives and literary movements such as Romanticism, Realism, and the Gothic. Collectively, these authors illuminate the multifaceted human experience, yielding a kaleidoscope of perspectives that deepen the reader's engagement with the text. Readers are invited to immerse themselves in a volume that is both an educational treasury and a reflection of literary artistry. The Complete Shelf of Fiction presents a rare opportunity to experience the convergence of multiple literary traditions and innovations in one collection. This anthology not only serves as an incisive exploration of narrative forms and themes but also as a dialogue between canonical works, providing a panoramic view of fiction's enduring power. Ideal for both the ardent student and the casual reader, this collection promises a captivating journey through the corridors of classic literature.

    Jean Muir, a cunning and ambitious governess, infiltrates the wealthy Coventry household under a veil of innocence. With calculated charm and deceit, she manipulates each family member to achieve her ambitions, exposing their secrets and vulnerabilities. Alcott crafts a gripping tale of social climbing, betrayal, and revenge, challenging societal expectations of femininity and morality. Beneath its suspenseful surface lies a sharp critique of class dynamics and gender roles. Darker and more subversive than her traditional works, this novella reveals Alcott’s mastery of psychological drama and biting social commentary.

    When Quasimodo appears before the masses as the "Pope of Fools," the crowd beholds an enormous cyclops-like creature— the hunchback's whole body seems a twisted grimace. Yet, with all his deformity, there is a certain grace and agility in him, and he possesses an endearing passion. When Esmerelda, the beautiful Romani woman, stands between his two executioners, Quasimodo makes the ultimate sacrifice.

    “Early stories [that] vividly portrays with humor, candidness, and detail du Maurier’s fascination with the problems of human connection.” —Publishers Weekly 
     
    Perhaps best known for her immortal gothic masterwork Rebecca—the basis for the Academy Award–winning motion picture directed by Alfred Hitchcock—Daphne de Maurier began her illustrious writing career penning short stories. In The Doll, thirteen of du Maurier’s early shorter fictional works have been collected—each story written before the author’s twenty-third birthday and some in print for the first time since the 1930s. Compelling tales of human foibles and tragic romance, the stories in The Doll represent the emergence of a remarkable literary talent who later went on to create Jamaica Inn, The Birds, and other classic works. This breathtaking collection of short fiction belongs on the bookshelf of every Daphne du Maurier fan. 
     
    “[D]electably florid.” —New York Times Book Review 
     
    “[Du Maurier’s] storytelling gifts are formidable.” —Kirkus Reviews
