  Written in 1927, To the Lighthouse is Virginia Woolf's experimental and brilliant third novel. The narrative concerns the annual visits by the Ramsay family to their summer home in the Isle of Skye in Scotland between 1910 and 1920. Once again employing her unique, stream-of-consciousness style of writing, Woolf creates a fascinating and complex novel where the point of view of the narration switches between the various Ramsay family members and their guests. This semi-autobiographical book was hailed in its time as a breakthrough work of genius by critics and has gone on to become one of the most beloved and carefully studied books of all time.  Named by both Modern Library and Time Magazine as as one of the 100 best English language novels of the 20th century, To the Lighthouse is an insightful study of family life, domestic tension and the complexity of human relationships. It is presented here in its original, unabridged format along with a biography of the author.

  This is small part of introduction of the book: Welcome, dear reader, to the captivating journey through the life and wisdom of one of history's most remarkable minds—Aristotle, the ancient Greek philosopher. As we step back in time, we'll uncover the profound insights and contributions that have left an indelible mark on philosophy, science, and our understanding of the world. 
  Aristotle's tale begins in the ancient city of Stagira, nestled in Macedonia. Born in 384 BCE, this curious young soul would grow to be a beacon of knowledge, illuminating the path for generations to come. From his early days, it was clear that he possessed a thirst for understanding the very essence of existence. 
  Venturing to Athens, Aristotle found his intellectual haven at Plato's Academy. There, his agile mind soaked in the teachings of the great Plato, forging a solid foundation for his own ideas. And so, our journey takes flight—a journey that sees Aristotle evolve from a keen learner to a brilliant thinker who challenged convention and explored the secrets of nature.

  A Northanger Abbey Double...

  A woman visits a haunted castle, and two friends share tales of the supernatural in these two gothic novels featured in Jane Austen’s Northanger Abbey. In Jane Austen’s Northanger Abbey, the main character, Catherine, receives a reading list of gothic novels. Once thought to be fabricated by Austen, these novels were rediscovered in the 1920s and are now referred to as the “Northanger Horrid Novels.” Two of the Northanger Horrid Novels, The Castle of Wolfenbach and The Necromancer, are presented here as A Northanger Double Feature.  With hidden identities, damsels in distress, creepy castles, and villainous Counts, The Castle of Wolfenbach (1793) is a showcase for the gothic genre. The story follows the beautiful Matilda as she escapes unwanted advances, braves the haunted castle, and attempts to find safety, and maybe even love, all while being pursued by her murderous uncle. The Castle of Wolfenbach is Eliza Parsons’s most famous novel and an important foundational work in the gothic genre. The Necromancer (1794) is by far the strangest of the Northanger Horrid Novels. The story begins with two friends, Herman and Hellfried, passing a stormy night by exchanging supernatural stories. The weirdness continues to unfold through a series of letters. The work is an example of the gothic genre’s use of framing narratives surrounding first person accounts from multiple characters. The Necromancer takes this trope to staggering heights by nesting multiple narratives inside each other. The resulting stories are a bizarre collection of violence and supernatural shenanigans centered around the mysterious Valkert, who is rumored to have returned from the dead.  Both of these stories are amazing examples of early gothic works and can be enjoyed as such for fans of the genre or read as a companion to Austen’s Northanger Abbey.
