Beschreibung

In "What Dreams May Come," Gertrude Franklin Horn Atherton explores the intricate tapestry of human emotions through a narrative that intertwines the metaphysical with the philosophical. Set against the backdrop of early 20th century America, Atherton employs a lyrical and evocative prose style that invites readers into an introspective journey. The novel's exploration of the afterlife, alongside themes of love and the nature of existence, showcases Atherton's deft handling of complex ideas and her ability to challenge societal norms of her time, resonating with the emerging trends in the psychological and modernist literature of the era. Gertrude Franklin Horn Atherton, a prominent American author known for her progressive views and keen psychological insight, wrote this novel against the backdrop of her own personal experiences with loss and existential contemplation. Having established herself as a groundbreaking voice through her earlier works, Atherton's own battles with the constraints of gender and societal expectations deeply influenced her writing. Her unique position in a male-dominated literary field allowed her to infuse a remarkably feminist perspective into her narratives, thus enriching the literary landscape of her time. This book is highly recommended for readers interested in themes of spirituality, human connection, and existential inquiry. Atherton's profound insights and evocative language make "What Dreams May Come" not only a compelling narrative but also a thought-provoking exploration of life, death, and what lies beyond. Engage with this intricately woven tale to not only appreciate Atherton's literary mastery but also to reflect on the deeper questions of existence and consciousness.

    A woman growing up in a family of Russian immigrants in the 1910s seeks a thoroughly American life. 
     
     
     
    Yelena is the first American born to her Old Believer Russian Orthodox parents, who are building a life in a Pennsylvania Appalachian town. This town, in the first decades of the twentieth century, is filled with Russian transplants and a new church with a dome. Here, boys quit grade school for the coal mines and girls are married off at fourteen. The young pair up, give birth to more babies than they can feed, and make shaky starts in their new world. However, Yelena craves a different path. Will she find her happy American ending, or will a dreaded Russian ending be her fate? 
     
     
     
    In this immersive novel, Zuravleff weaves Russian fairy tales and fables into a family saga within the storied American landscape. The challenges facing immigrants—and the fragility of citizenship—are just as unsettling and surprising today as they were 100 years ago. American Ending is a poignant reminder that everything that is happening in America has already happened.

    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 decade life on both sides of the Atlantic relied on territorial expansion and the gathering of industrial muscle.  The people who live there merely cogs in a vast machine.  Our authors illuminate these times with words that bring humanity and life to these literary gems.

    Robert Graves’ Greek Mythologies brings the legends of ancient Greece to life in Greek Gods and Heroes, and the timeless classic, The Siege and Fall of Troy.
    In Greek Gods and Heroes, renowned classicist and historical novelist Robert Graves brings the legends of ancient Greece to life in a lively, accessible way that’s sure to appeal to everyone; from children to adults, and from casual readers to serious scholars.
    
    In the ancient past, the Gods and Goddesses of ancient Greece lived on Mount Olympus, and ruled the world of mortals. Famous heroes shaped the course of history, beautiful women drew the gazes of gods and men alike, and the gods were both fickle in their favors and breathtakingly generous to those they smiled upon. From Midas’ tragic gift to the exploits of Hercules and the curse of Pandora.
    Written with a younger audience in mind, The Siege and Fall of Troy is nevertheless exhaustively researched and compelling enough to be of interest to both students of history and adult readers. With humor, wit, and energy, Graves is expert at weaving a story based on exhaustive scholarly research and deep imaginative prowess.
    
    The Iliad has it all: war, corruption, greed, power, and the passions of both gods and men. In this detailed retelling, Robert Graves draws the major characters of this timeless classic in broad, gritty strokes, making Agamemnon, Paris, Odysseus, and others accessible for young readers.
