Sinopse

In "Guy de Maupassant: Complete Works," readers are presented with an extensive collection of the author's literary genius, encapsulating his mastery in short stories, novels, and narratives that reflect the complexities of 19th-century French society. Maupassant's prose is known for its realism, sharp psychological insight, and innovative narrative techniques, showcasing not only the personal struggles of his characters but also the broader social conditions of his time. This compilation allows one to traverse Maupassant's exploration of human nature, illustrating themes of love, loss, and existential despair, while giving a holistic view of his stylistic evolution from early works such as "Boule de Suif" to his later pieces that delve deeper into the human psyche. Guy de Maupassant, a protégé of Gustave Flaubert, was profoundly influenced by the naturalism movement, reflecting both the beauty and harshness of life in his works. Born in 1850, Maupassant's writing was shaped by his experiences in the Franco-Prussian War, his tumultuous personal life, and the burgeoning modernity of France. His ability to convey poignant truths about society and humanity stems from these multifaceted influences, making his works resonate across generations. This complete collection is a treasure for literary enthusiasts, scholars, and casual readers alike, offering critical insight into the human condition through Maupassant's unflinching gaze. It stands as a testament to one of literature's greatest storytellers, making it an essential addition to any library for those seeking to understand the essence of modern French literature.

    Have you ever faced a weird situation, encountered a particularly difficult person or tackled a tough task and said to yourself, "you gotta be kidding me!" 
    "You Gotta Be Kidding Me!" tells the sometimes hilarious, sometimes embarrassing and sometimes sad stories of a hyperindependent woman navigating life on her own. 
    The stories include the unexpected hellscape of simply having a refrigerator delivered, the struggles of facing the 2020 pandemic solo, and the stress of taking on the care of 8 cats after the author's mother passed away. 
    A relatable story can not only pass the time, but also get you through a depressing or difficult situation in your life. And a good story can be about everyday life scenarios that many of us go through, whether it’s with family members, strangers, friends, co-workers, pets, retail workers, managing a household, or dealing with loss. 
    These stories might make you laugh, smile, gasp, cry or shake your head. It's the perfect book to turn on when you're driving, working or taking a walk through the park.

    The Latter Days of Wizadora -...

    She was once a whimsical wizardess solving magical mishaps on children’s television. Now she’s navigating midlife, burnout, and the absurdities of modern life—one disastrous spell at a time. 
    The Latter Days of: Wizadora is a biting satire that reimagines a beloved childhood icon in a world where magic has become mundane, nostalgia is monetized, and the pressure to "find yourself" can only be solved with too much gin. 
    Once an effortlessly magical being who captivated young audiences, Wizadora now lives above a vape shop in Luton, working a soul-sucking job at the Department of Arcane Complaints and Refunds. Her wand’s broken, her plants are staging protests, and her magical mishaps—including summoning her naked ex in front of a Parent & Witchcraft group—have made her a viral sensation for all the wrong reasons. 
    This novel skewers the societal obsession with staying young, relevant, and "magical" in an increasingly cynical, oversaturated world. It takes a sharp, hilarious look at the illusions of modern life—where social media influencers glow with "ancient prophecies," smartphones sprout wings, and the self-help industry has turned every personal failure into a product. 
    Wizadora’s journey is about coming to terms with who we thought we should be, versus who we really are—and the hilarious, painful absurdity of it all. 
    Through wit, absurdity, and surprisingly tender moments, The Latter Days of: Wizadora offers a scathing commentary on nostalgia, societal expectations, and the overwhelming pressure to "find your magic" in a world that no longer believes in it. 
    Magic isn’t what it was. But neither are we. And that’s fine.
