Sinopse

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.

    Henri René Albert Guy de Maupassant was born on August 5th, 1850 near Dieppe in France.  
    Maupassant’s early life was badly torn when at age 11 (his younger brother Hervé was then five) his mother, Laure, a headstrong and independent-minded woman, risked social disgrace in order to obtain a legal separation from her husband. 
    After the separation, Laure kept custody of her two boys. With the father now forcibly absent, Laure became the most influential and important figure in the young boy's life.   
    Maupassant’s education was such that he rebelled against religion and other societal norms but a developing friendship with Gustave Flaubert began to turn his mind towards creativity and writing. 
    After graduation he volunteered for the Franco-Prussian war. With its end he moved to Paris to work as a clerk in the Navy Department.  Gustave Flaubert now took him under his wing.  Acting as a literary guardian to him, he guided the eager Maupassant to debuts in journalism and literature.  For Maupassant these were exciting times and the awakening of his creative talents and ambitions. 
    In 1880 he published what is considered his first great work, ‘Boule de Suif’, (translated as ‘Dumpling’, ‘Butterball’, ‘Ball of Fat’, or ‘Ball of Lard’) which met with a success that was both instant and overwhelming.  Flaubert at once acknowledged that it was ‘a masterpiece that will endure.’ Maupassant had used his talents and experiences in the war to create something unique.  
    This decade from 1880 to 1891 was to be the most pivotal of his career.  With an audience now made available by the success of ‘Boule de Suif’ Maupassant organised himself to work methodically and relentlessly to produce between two and four volumes of work a year.  The melding of his talents and business sense and the continual hunger of sources for his works made him wealthy. 
    In his later years he developed a desire for solitude, an obsession for self-preservation, and a fear of death as well as a paranoia of persecution caused by the syphilis he had contracted in his youth.  
    On January 2nd, 1892, Maupassant tried to commit suicide by cutting his throat.  Unsuccessful he was committed to the private asylum of Esprit Blanche at Passy, in Paris.  It was here on July 6th, 1893 that Henri René Albert Guy de Maupassant died at the age of only 42.

    Written in his distinctively dazzling manner, Oscar Wilde's story of a fashionable young man who sells his soul for eternal youth and beauty is the author's most popular work. The tale of Dorian Gray's moral disintegration caused a scandal when it first appeared in 1890, but though Wilde was attacked for the novel's corrupting influence, he responded that there is, in fact, "a terrible moral in Dorian Gray." Just a few years later, the book and the aesthetic/moral dilemma it presented became issues in the trials occasioned by Wilde's homosexual liaisons, which resulted in his imprisonment. Of Dorian Gray's relationship to autobiography, Wilde noted in a letter, "Basil Hallward is what I think I am: Lord Henry what the world thinks me: Dorian what I would like to be—in other ages, perhaps."

    A Daemon in Jade - A Short...

    What is evil? Is it simply a concept, a description applied to the actions of men or to incidents that impact them or is it something more? An external force eternal and ever present that can weave itself in slithering pathways into our thoughts and deeds? Is it possible for instance, for an object to be evil? For it to reek, on a level detectable beyond our normal senses of corruption, or wickedness and of rot? could it leave upon the skin and the mind like a residue a clinging film of something that is not only older than man but hateful of him? 
    These are the questions that circulate around the Daemon in Jade, the massive sculpture that the ancients chose to bury head down and disregard. Not simply forgetting, but deliberately, purposely shunning the hideous thing as wretched and unclean.
