Jane Austen's existence embodies a profound juxtaposition of her illustrious literary endeavors and an ostensibly mundane public persona. Born in the quaint environs of Steventon, Hampshire, she was the product of a domestically-conducted education under the tutelage of her clerical father. Her life was marked by an unwavering familial devotion. Following a brief sojourn in the cosmopolitan city of Bath, Austen's family circumstances necessitated a return to their ancestral abode in Steventon, where she remained until her demise at the relatively young age of 41. Despite the apparent banality of her daily existence, her literary prowess burgeoned in this very setting, shrouded in secrecy. Austen's nascent fascination with the art of novel-writing manifested early in her life, as she penned narratives that offered a satirical commentary on both the contemporary authors and the social mores of the late 18th century. Her novels, suffused with wit and incisive observation, served as a scathing yet engaging critique of the era's literary landscape. Her corpus is replete with masterpieces such as "Pride and Prejudice" (1813), "Mansfield Park" (1814), and "Emma" (1816), which masterfully dissect the social interactions and foibles of the 19th-century middle class. Her acuity for capturing the absurdities of human conduct is particularly evident in these works, which have endured as timeless reflections of societal norms. In the annals of British letters, Austen stands as an adored and venerated figure, celebrated for her astute social commentary and her unparalleled contribution to the novel form. Her enduring popularity is a testament to the universal appeal of her narratives, which transcend temporal and cultural boundaries to resonate with readers across generations.Zum Buch
Hailed as a masterpiece on the subject of death and dying, The Death of Ivan Ilyich is the story of a worldly careerist, a high court judge who has never given the inevitability of his dying so much as a passing thought. But one day, death announces itself to him, and to his shocked surprise, he is brought face to face with his own mortality. How, Tolstoy asks, does an unreflective man confront his one and only moment of truth? This novella was an artistic culmination of a profound spiritual crisis in Tolstoy's life, a nine-year period following the publication of Anna Karenina during which he wrote not a word of fiction. A thoroughly absorbing, and, at times, terrifying glimpse into the abyss of death, it is also a strong testament to the possibility of finding spiritual salvation.Zum Buch
