Sinossi

Gustave Flaubert's "The Collected Works" is an exquisite compilation that showcases his pioneering contributions to literary realism, characterized by meticulous attention to style and form. This anthology encompasses his most significant narratives, including the renowned "Madame Bovary," where Flaubert delves into the intricacies of desire and disillusionment within the bourgeois society of 19th-century France. His masterful use of irony, psychological depth, and vivid imagery lends a rich texture to the text, inviting readers to engage with profound themes of obsession, societal constraints, and the pursuit of authenticity amidst the banalities of life. Flaubert, a central figure in the literary scene of his time, was influenced by his rigorous artistic ideals and the tumultuous sociopolitical climate of France. His dedication to precision and the pursuit of beauty in language stemmed from an early literary ambition, shaped by his education and the writings of contemporaries such as Balzac and Stendhal. Flaubert's lifelong struggle against the limitations of narrative and his quest for the 'moral of style' are evident throughout this collection, affirming his legacy as a master craftsman of language. "The Collected Works" is highly recommended for readers seeking to explore the depth of human experience through Flaubert's incisive lens. This anthology not only serves as an introduction to his oeuvre but also offers seasoned readers a chance to immerse themselves in the stylistic and thematic richness inherent in Flaubert's writing. A critical read for anyone interested in the evolution of modern literature and the psychology of character.

A Doll's House

Henrik Ibsen

A door slams, and the echoes never fade. Henrik Ibsen's A Doll's House (1879) is a play that doesn't shout—it lingers, unsettling and undeniable. Beneath the surface of a seemingly ordinary household lies a quiet storm, gathering strength with every polite exchange, every carefully placed smile.
Nora Helmer is a wife, a mother, a woman adored. Her home is warm, her life is comfortable, her husband sings her praises. But when a long-kept secret begins to unravel, so does the delicate balance of her world. What happens when the roles we play no longer fit? When the words we speak don't match the voices inside us?
Ibsen doesn't lecture, doesn't plead—he simply opens a door and lets us look inside. What we see is up to us. Is it a tale of liberation or betrayal? A tragedy or a beginning? More than a century later, the questions still stand, just as urgent, just as sharp.
With A Doll's House, Ibsen didn't just write a play. He set a stage for countless conversations, forcing audiences to lean in, to question, to wonder. And when the final moment comes, when the door closes behind Nora, it isn't just her world that shifts. It's ours, too.

THE RUFFIAN: I entertain so strong an objection to the euphonious softening of Ruffian into Rough, which has lately become popular, that I restore the right word to the heading of this paper; the rather, as my object is to dwell upon the fact that the Ruffian is tolerated among us to an extent that goes beyond all unruffianly endurance.
