Summary

Esther Waters is a classic novel written by George Gissing that tells the story of a young woman's struggles to survive in Victorian England. The novel follows the life of Esther Waters, a simple girl from the countryside who is forced to move to the city to find work. As she tries to navigate the harsh realities of life in London, Esther faces many challenges, including poverty, discrimination, and abuse.Despite her struggles, Esther remains determined to make a better life for herself. She works tirelessly as a maid and eventually finds a job as a nursemaid, which leads her to a life of relative comfort and security. Along the way, Esther meets a number of characters who help her to understand the complexities of the society in which she lives.One of the most striking aspects of Esther Waters is Gissing's portrayal of the harsh realities of life for working-class women in Victorian England. The novel is a powerful critique of the social and economic inequalities of the time, and it shows how difficult it was for women to make a living, let alone to achieve any sort of social mobility.At the same time, however, Esther Waters is also a novel of hope and resilience. Esther is a sympathetic and relatable protagonist, and her determination to make a better life for herself is both inspiring and moving.Overall, Esther Waters is a powerful and thought-provoking novel that offers a vivid portrait of life in Victorian England. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of the period or in the experiences of working-class women. So, if you want to read a classic novel that will make you think and feel, then Esther Waters is the book for you.

    The Confusions of Young Master...

    Robert Musil (1880-1942) is best known for his enduring masterpiece The Man Without Qualities, one of the great European works of the 20th century. It was with The Confusions of Young Master Törless first published in 1906, a challenging but very different work, that he signalled his extraordinary talent. As the nineteenth century draws to an end, young Torless is sent to a military boarding school for the sons of the nobility on the eastern outreaches of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Far from his comfortable, free-thinking bourgeois home and left to his own devices, he experiences the joy, pain and self-doubt of adolescence. He is confronted with desire and love, but also his own cruelty, as he finds himself participating in his fellow pupils' bullying campaigns. A dark Bildungsroman which shocked its readership at the time, Robert Musil's first novel is a fresco of psychoanalysis, philosophy, eroticism, snobbery, sado-masochism and schoolboy humour, a hothouse of alternately repressed and unchained desires that prefigure the carnage of both World Wars.
