Sinopse

The Complete Books of F. Scott Fitzgerald brings together the quintessence of Fitzgerald's literary genius, compiling all five of his novels alongside four short story collections published during his lifetime. Renowned for his lyrical prose and keen social commentary, Fitzgerald's works explore the complexities of the American Dream, the disillusionment of the Jazz Age, and intricate human relationships. From the opulence of 'The Great Gatsby' to the introspective narratives of 'Tender Is the Night,' this compendium provides an invaluable glimpse into the thematic richness and stylistic evolution of Fitzgerald's work, offering insight into the post-war American struggle for identity and belonging. F. Scott Fitzgerald, often heralded as the voice of his generation, was born in 1896 in Minnesota. His acute observations of high society, personal experiences with wealth and poverty, and tumultuous relationship with Zelda Sayre greatly influenced the narratives he crafted. His tumultuous life and the societal transformations of the 1920s shape the ambivalence evident in his writing, making his perspectives both poignant and prescient. Readers are highly encouraged to delve into this comprehensive collection, as it not only encapsulates Fitzgerald's literary mastery but also invites contemplation on timeless socio-cultural issues. This anthology serves as both an introduction to newcomers and a treasure trove for long-time admirers, offering authentic access to the complexities of human experience in a rapidly changing world.

    Saki's Cats rounds up the tales about cats, big and small, by the undisputed master of the short story.
    'Tobermory', one of Saki's most famous pieces, demonstrates the danger that would ensue from granting cats the power of speech – animals have long lurked unseen, eavesdropping, in the background. The tom in 'The Philanthropist and the Happy Cat' is the only one to enjoy his meal, as is the leopard in 'The Guests'. In 'The Penance' and 'Mrs Packletide's Tiger', hunters who put cats in their sights are humiliated and blackmailed. 'The Achievement of the Cat' considers how cats have come to be served by the human race.
    In addition to the short stories about cats, Saki's Cats also collects Saki's juvenile letters to his sister Ethel about the tiger cub he adopted while living in Burma.
    The feisty felines of these tales are the only clear winners, and, with a characteristic smirk and dash of his pen, it is Edwardian Society that Saki sends slinking off, tail between its legs.

    A dog. A child. A rope that drags, and a bond that tightens.
    In this brief, haunting tale, Stephen Crane casts a quiet, unflinching gaze at innocence, cruelty, and the strange bargains we make in the name of love.
    Told in spare, evocative prose, A Dark Brown Dog is more than it appears — a fable with no moral, a friendship with no promise, a home with no safety.
    You may not be sure where the pain ends and the loyalty begins.
    But you will know you've seen something true.

    A timeless tale of adventure, imagination, and folly, Don Quixote follows the exploits of a delusional yet noble-hearted Spanish nobleman who, inspired by chivalric romances, sets out on a quest to revive knighthood. Accompanied by his loyal squire, Sancho Panza, he battles windmills, confronts bandits, and pursues his ideal of justice, often with humorous and tragic results. This novel is a brilliant satire of medieval ideals and a profound meditation on reality, identity, and the power of storytelling.

    A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man is the first novel of Irish writer James Joyce.    A Künstlerroman in a modernist style, it traces the religious and intellectual awakening of young Stephen Dedalus, a fictional alter ego of Joyce and an allusion to Daedalus, the consummate craftsman of Greek mythology. Stephen questions and rebels against the Catholic and Irish conventions under which he has grown, culminating in his self-exile from Ireland to Europe. The work uses techniques that Joyce developed more fully in Ulysses and Finnegans Wake.    A Portrait began life in 1903 as Stephen Hero--a projected 63-chapter autobiographical novel in a realistic style. After 25 chapters, Joyce abandoned Stephen Hero in 1907 and set to reworking its themes and protagonist into a condensed five-chapter novel, dispensing with strict realism and making extensive use of free indirect speech that allows the reader to peer into Stephen's developing consciousness. American modernist poet Ezra Pound had the novel serialised in the English literary magazine The Egoist in 1914 and 1915, and published as a book in 1916 by B. W. Huebsch of New York. The publication of A Portrait and the short story collection Dubliners (1914) earned Joyce a place at the forefront of literary modernism.
