  Lucy Maud Montgomery (November 30, 1874 – April 24, 1942), published as L. M. Montgomery, was a Canadian author best known for a series of novels beginning in 1908 with Anne of Green Gables. The book was an immediate success. The title character, orphan Anne Shirley, made Montgomery famous in her lifetime and gave her an international following.
  Matthew Insists on Puffed Sleeves: Matthew was having a bad ten minutes of it. He had come into the kitchen, in the twilight of a cold, grey December evening, and had sat down in the wood-box corner to take off his heavy boots, unconscious of the fact that Anne and a bevy of her schoolmates were having a practice of "The Fairy Queen" in the sitting-room.

  "Heart of Darkness," written by Joseph Conrad in the late 19th century, is a novella that follows Charles Marlow, a seaman on a journey up the Congo River to connect with a mysterious ivory trader named Kurtz. Through this quest, the story explores themes of imperialism, colonization, and the darkness within humanity. 
  The narrative begins aboard the Nellie, a cruising yawl anchored on the Thames River, where Marlow reflects on the river's historical significance and its connection to both the past and the present. He contemplates the vastness and mystery of the unknown world, in contrast to the familiar sights of London. As the story unfolds, we gain insights into Marlow’s character and his quest to uncover the enigmatic figure of Kurtz, who embodies the complex moral ambiguities of European colonialism. 
  The atmosphere grows increasingly heavy with foreshadowing, inviting readers to reflect on the deeper implications of Marlow's journey into the heart of darkness.
