  "Metropolis," penned by Thea von Harbou in the late 1920s, is a gripping science fiction novel that transports readers to a dazzling yet dystopian urban expanse in the year 2026 A.D. Within this sprawling cityscape, themes of class struggle, the relentless march of technology, and humanity's intricate bond with machinery resonate profoundly.  
  The narrative centers on Freder, the young heir of a powerful industrial ruler, who finds himself ensnared in the throes of unrequited longing for a captivating woman who embodies the indomitable spirit of the downtrodden working class. From the very beginning, "Metropolis" plunges readers into a riotous tapestry of sights and sounds, opening with Freder playing an ornate grand organ that reverberates through the vast halls, echoing amidst the cosmic ballet of twinkling stars. He is enveloped in an overwhelming sense of yearning for an elusive figure whose presence haunts his dreams. 
  However, the veneer of his privileged existence is soon shattered by a harrowing vision of the laborers toiling in the depths of the city—a stark, bitter reminder of the human toll exacted by the glorified machine age. As Freder descends from his lofty perch in the opulent workshop, the harsh realities of his father's iron-fisted industrial regime come into sharp focus. Thrust into a tumultuous clash of ideals, he begins to question the very foundations of the oppressive systems that sustain the metropolis. 
  This intricate interplay between man, machine, and society unfurls with rich, evocative symbolism, prompting deep moral inquiries about the nature of progress and the heavy sacrifices it demands. Each scene pulsates with life, as the stark contrasts within the city illuminate the struggles rooted in its core, inviting readers to contemplate the cost of ambition in a rapidly mechanized world.

  “I would always rather be happy than dignified.” 
   
  “There is no happiness like that of being loved by your fellow-creatures, and feeling that your presence is an addition to their comfort.” 
   
  From Jane Eyre 
   
  Jane Eyre is a novel by English writer Charlotte Brontë, published under the pen name "Currer Bell", on October 16, 1847, by Smith, Elder & Co. of London. The first American edition was published the following year by Harper & Brothers of New York. Jane Eyre is a Bildungsroman that follows the experiences of its eponymous heroine, including her growth to adulthood and her love for Mr. Rochester, the brooding master of Thornfield Hall. The novel revolutionized prose fiction by being the first to focus on its protagonist's moral and spiritual development through an intimate first-person narrative, where actions and events are colored by a psychological intensity. Charlotte Brontë has been called the "first historian of the private consciousness". The work contains elements of social criticism with a strong sense of Christian morality at its core, and it is considered by many to be ahead of its time because of Jane's individualistic character and how the novel approaches the topics of class, sexuality, religion, and feminism. Jane Eyre is one of the most famous romance novels of all time.

  Sherlock Holmes is a fictional private detective created by British author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Referring to himself as a "consulting detective" in the stories, Holmes is known for his proficiency with observation, forensic science, and logical reasoning that borders on the fantastic, which he employs when investigating cases for a wide variety of clients, including Scotland Yard.

All but one are set in the Victorian or Edwardian eras, between about 1880 and 1914. Most are narrated by the character of Holmes's friend and biographer Dr. Watson, who usually accompanies Holmes during his investigations and often shares quarters with him at the address of 221B Baker Street, London, where many of the stories begin.
  Included in this collection:
  1. A Study in Scarlet (1887)
  2. The Sign of the Four (1890)
