Sinopse

Discover the timeless literary classics that helped create and define this beloved genre. In the #DarkAcademia Classics Collection, academic settings and intellectual pursuits blend with undercurrents of mystery and existential longing, weaving stories that captivate readers with their meditations on youth, identity, and the complex allure of forbidden knowledge. This genre thrives on gothic undertones, introspection, and the bittersweet tension between ambition and moral consequence—a potent mix that beckons us into hallways of libraries and classrooms, where shadows of secrets and passions abound.
F. Scott Fitzgerald's This Side of Paradise delves into the restless mind of Amory Blaine, whose experiences at Princeton reveal the excitement and heartbreak of forging an identity within elite academic circles. John Dos Passos's Streets of Night confronts youthful disillusionment in an urban university setting, exposing the clash between idealism and societal constraints. Philosopher Jack by R. M. Ballantyne takes a more adventurous approach to scholarly pursuits, following its titular character as he grapples with moral questions in exotic locales.
In Owen Johnson's Stover at Yale, we watch an impetuous student navigate the politics of a prestigious institution, torn between tradition and personal independence. Ishmael by Mrs. E.D.E.N. Southworth centers on a determined protagonist who fights against societal norms and overcomes adversity to obtain an education, demonstrating how self-discovery can be as stirring as any gothic drama. Max Beerbohm's Zuleika Dobson injects dark humor and spectacle into academia, as the enchanting Zuleika's arrival at Oxford triggers a cascade of absurd yet riveting events.
Born in Exile by George Gissing explores the anguish of class struggle and intellectual pride, revealing the darker side of ambition amid scholarly debates. E. M. Forster's The Longest Journey offers an introspective trek through academia's ideals and the yearning for authentic human connection. W. B. Yeats's Rosa Alchemica ventures into mysticism, weaving arcane lore and metaphysical intrigue into its examination of artistic and spiritual devotion.
Better Dead by J. M. Barrie is a sardonic portrayal of morality and mischief in academic circles, while Henry Blake Fuller's Bertram Cope's Year traces the entangled relationships and private dilemmas of a young literature instructor searching for acceptance and belonging. Finally, James Joyce's A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man stands as a cornerstone of modernist thought, illuminating the complexities of faith, desire, and intellectual awakening.
Each novel in this collection invites you to peer behind the polished veneer of scholarly life, discovering personal entanglements, hidden truths, and revelations lurking in midnight libraries or shadowed lecture halls. The allure of Dark Academia lies in this fusion of knowledge and danger, reminding us that intellect can be both illuminating and perilous when pursued with unbridled passion.

    Short stories have always been a sort of instant access into an author’s brain, their soul and heart.  A few pages can lift our lives into locations, people and experiences with a sweep of landscape, narration, feelings and emotions that is difficult to achieve elsewhere. 
     
    In this series we try to offer up tried and trusted ‘Top Tens’ across many different themes and authors. But any anthology will immediately throw up the questions – Why that story? Why that author?  
     
    The theme itself will form the boundaries for our stories which range from well-known classics, newly told, to stories that modern times have overlooked but perfectly exemplify the theme.  Throughout the volume our authors whether of instant recognition or new to you are all leviathans of literature. 
     
    Some you may disagree with but they will get you thinking; about our choices and about those you would have made.  If this volume takes you on a path to discover more of these miniature masterpieces then we have all gained something. 
     
    In this volume words sparkle and dance with a verve and purpose that other literary talents quite simple do not possess.  Known principally for their novels the short story in their hands is fresh, compelling; a world of wonders.  Genius is written with their names.

    In Part 6 of Anna Karenina, Anna’s descent into despair culminates as her isolation deepens and her relationship with Vronsky crumbles. Consumed by jealousy and societal rejection, she spirals toward tragedy. Meanwhile, Levin achieves spiritual clarity, finding peace in family life and faith. The contrast between Anna’s unraveling world and Levin’s fulfillment underscores themes of redemption, purpose, and the cost of defying societal norms. As the novel approaches its climax, Tolstoy poignantly explores the fragility of human happiness and the inevitability of fate.

    Second Treatise of Government...

    The central principles of what today is broadly known as political liberalism were made current in large part by Locke's Second Treatise of Government (1690). The principles of individual liberty, the rule of law, government by consent of the people, and the right to private property are taken for granted as fundamental to the human condition now. Most liberal theorists writing today look back to Locke as the source of their ideas. Some maintain that religious fundamentalism, "post-modernism," and socialism are today the only remaining ideological threats to liberalism. To the extent that this is true, these ideologies are ultimately attacks on the ideas that Locke, arguably more than any other, helped to make the universal vocabulary of political discourse.

    Twenty-three-year-old Frits—office worker, daydreamer, teller of inappropriate jokes— finds life absurd and inexplicable. He lives with his parents, who drive him mad. He has terrible, disturbing dreams of death and destruction. Sometimes he talks to a toy rabbit. Darkly funny and mesmerising, The Evenings takes the tiny, quotidian triumphs and heartbreaks of our everyday lives and turns them into a work of brilliant wit and profound beauty.
