Sinopsis

In "Christina Alberta's Father," H. G. Wells delivers a poignant narrative that intricately examines the complexities of familial relationships and societal expectations in early 20th-century England. The novel is notable for its rich, descriptive prose and character-driven style, characteristics emblematic of Wells's transition from science fiction to broader social commentary. At its heart lies the tumultuous relationship between Christina, a young woman seeking independence, and her disillusioned father, whose struggles reflect the anxieties of a changing world. Through a blend of realism and psychological exploration, Wells invites readers to contemplate notions of love, duty, and self-fulfillment in an evolving society. H. G. Wells, a pivotal figure in modern literature, is renowned for his innovative contributions to science fiction and his fervent social critiques. Wells'Äôs own experiences, including his education and exposure to the stark realities of the working class, informed his understanding of social dynamics. By examining personal and social conflicts, he sought to challenge and inspire change, crafting narratives that reveal the often painful realities of human existence. For readers interested in a compelling exploration of family and identity against the backdrop of societal transformation, "Christina Alberta's Father" is an essential work. Its themes remain resonate today, making it a timeless reminder of the complexities of love, loss, and the quest for individual agency.

    Victor-Marie Hugo (26 February 1802 - 22 May 1885) was a French poet, novelist, essayist, playwright, and dramatist of the Romantic movement. During a literary career that spanned more than sixty years, he wrote abundantly in an exceptional variety of genres: lyrics, satires, epics, philosophical poems, epigrams, novels, history, critical essays, political speeches, funeral orations, diaries, and letters public and private, as well as dramas in verse and prose.
    VOLUME 5: JEAN VALJEAN: The two most memorable barricades which the observer of social maladies can name do not belong to the period in which the action of this work is laid. These two barricades, both of them symbols, under two different aspects, of a redoubtable situation, sprang from the earth at the time of the fatal insurrection of June, 1848, the greatest war of the streets that history has ever beheld.

    "The more I know of this world, the more I am convinced that I shall never see a man whom I can really love. I require so much!" 
    The two oldest Dashwood sisters approach romance differently. One impulsively jumps into love while the other is far more prudent. When tragedy strikes they find themselves searching for suitable husbands. Elinor feels ill-equipped to compete with the self-centred, fortune-driven society she finds herself in, whilst Marianne's unshakeable belief in her own feelings makes her susceptible to the designs of unscrupulous men.  
    Can they find true love?  
    Jane Austen's first published book was Sense and Sensibility, and her tale of love in late 18th-century England has captivated audiences since it was published. Rich in irony, wit, and romance, Austen is known for her critique of claustrophobic society and the role of women within it.
