Sinopsis

In 'Morriña,' Emilia condesa de Pardo Bazán weaves a poignant narrative that ventures beyond the facade of a simple domestic drama, reflecting the profound effects of emotional manipulation. Published in 1889, this novel is a manifestation of realist literature, distinguished by its meticulous depiction of character psychology and societal mores. Bazán's narrative technique—sharp, introspective, and unabashedly vivid—artfully presents the intertwined lives of Doña Aurora, her son Rogelio, and Esclavita, the servant, illuminating the nuanced interplay of class and power dynamics. Her keen observation of human nature and social critique remains unequivocally relevant, resonating through her lucid portrayal of the characters' inner dialogues which ring with universal truths about human conditions. The literary context of 'Morriña' is firmly set within the late 19th-century Spanish literary movement, marked by Bazán's distinctive incorporation of political and social commentary within her storytelling, a hallmark of her broader corpus. Emilia condesa de Pardo Bazán is lauded as a pioneering figure in Spanish literature, her impressive oeuvre influencing the trajectory of the novel in Spain. Her personal experiences and perceptive insights into the societal fabric notably led to the creation of 'Morriña,' a work that both critiqued and captured the zeitgeist of her era. A notable intellect of her time, Bazán's writings offer readers a deep dive into the cultural and personal turmoil prevalent in 19th-century Spain. She stands as a testament to the power of literature as a mirror to society and a beacon of change. 'Morriña' comes highly recommended for readers interested in the profound social and psychological explorations of realism. Its simple plot belies a complex examination of the human psyche, making it an essential read for anyone wishing to grasp the intricacies of the human heart against the backdrop of societal conventions. Whether one is a student of literature, a lover of historical narratives, or simply in search of a compelling tale that captures the quintessence of Spanish literary art, 'Morriña' is sure to leave an indelible impression upon the mind and soul.

Perilous Play - 19th Century...

Louisa May Alcott

Louisa May Alcott was born on 29th November 1832 in Germantown, Pennsylvania.

She is most definitely a writer of her own experiences. Her father was a transcendentalist, philosopher and educational experimenter who founded, Fruitlands, a utopian community. Although poor, her liberal and progressive parents provided Louisa with much of her education, which was enhanced by many family friends that included Thoreau, Hawthorne and Emerson, a neighbour whose library she was often found reading in.

She started writing stories as a way of providing the family with some financial stability. Times were difficult and the effects of poverty were always close at hand. During the Civil War she went to Washington to be a nurse and became ill with typhoid fever although she continued to write and build her success. However, the treatment for typhus gave her mercury poisoning which caused further health issues for the rest of her life and eventually contributed to her death.

Alcott visited her father on his deathbed in Boston. Two days later on 6th March 1888 she also died resulting in a joint funeral.

Well-loved for her classic ‘Little Women’ she was a superb writer in difficult times for any woman, a strong advocate of women’s issues, the anti-slavery movement, temperance and social reform.

Her work often reflects on the rich experiences in her life and these poignant short stories are a fine testament to this. Additionally under pseudonyms she wrote dozens of gothic thrillers and sensation stories. She is also famed for her children’s stories.

Edge of Insanity

S.E. Smith

Sometimes the only way to survive is to let insanity take over… Edge remembers little of his capture but all of what has happened since. Sold to the Waxians, he resists their efforts to gain information on the Trivator military and weapons systems. He can feel his mind splinter from their repeated tortures, but a soft voice in the darkness urges him to resist—and fight back. Lina Daniels is used to fighting fire with fire. She isn’t afraid of death, but she is terrified of being captured. As a resistance fighter on Earth, she knew the dangers. Those threats seem minuscule compared to those on the alien world she was taken to. Determined to return home, her plan is simple—free the Trivator warrior she discovered and force him to take her and the other women that are with her back to Earth. That plan turns out just as hazardous as being a fugitive on an alien world! The last thing Lina expects is for the Trivator to have an intense protectiveness of her or his stubborn determination in believing she is his Amate!  The soft sound of Lina’s voice is the only thing that prevents Edge’s mind from completely shattering. With the Waxian and Drethulan forces on their tail, it will take more than a few daring moves to escape to freedom. Can a tortured warrior and his rebellious rescuer escape the forces chasing them or will the threat of losing the last thing holding him together hurl Edge over the precipice and into insanity?
