Sinopsis

A man sleeps for two centuries… and wakes to a world he never imagined.
Graham, an ordinary man from Victorian England, falls into a mysterious, decades-long sleep—only to awaken in the year 2100. To his astonishment, his name is legendary and his wealth has multiplied beyond imagination, making him the richest man on Earth. But with unimaginable power comes dangerous enemies.

In The Sleeper Awakes, H. G. Wells crafts a gripping tale of technological marvels, mass media manipulation, and political revolution. What begins as wonder soon turns to peril, as Graham is drawn into a battle for freedom against a totalitarian regime that rules the future.

First published in 1910, this novel is an eerily prophetic look at consumerism, class struggle, and the power of information—decades ahead of its time.

"A chillingly accurate vision of the future's social and political conflicts."
– The Guardian

"Wells at his most prophetic—unsettling, thrilling, and deeply thought-provoking."
– The New York Times

Champagne is a short story by Anton Pavlovich Chekhov, written in 1887.
The story is written in the first person. The young head of a remote railway stop lived with his wife and without children in solitude, amusing himself with vodka and watching passing trains.
Life was boring. One day before celebrating the New Year, he sat with his wife at the festive table, drank enough and thought about boredom. We waited for the clock to show the arrival of the New Year. At five minutes to twelve he uncorked the bottle, the cork flew out, and the bottle slipped out of his hands and fell to the floor. The wife greeted Happy New Year with frightened eyes. She knew that the falling bottle was a bad omen and meant that something bad would happen in the new year.
After arguing with his wife, the narrator left the house thinking that this had already happened to them, that the worst could not happen. He remembered his dead parents, how he was kicked out of the gymnasium, how he wandered around with nothing to do and friends. He did not love his wife; he married when he was still a boy.
Returning home, he saw his wife cheerful - "good aunt" Natalya Petrovna, the wife of the hero's wife's uncle, a woman of free behavior, came to them for three days. At dinner, "aunt" and "nephew" drank well, they became dizzy, and their romance began (a terrible, mad whirlwind). In this whirlwind, the hero loses his wife, mistress, and job. He asks "what else bad could happen to me?"
