Sinossi

In "The Rubáiyát of a Bachelor," Helen Rowland crafts a witty and insightful exploration of bachelorhood, drawing inspiration from the Persian poetry of Omar Khayyam's "Rubáiyāt." Through a series of clever quatrains, Rowland employs a blend of humor and poignant reflection, encapsulating the trials and tribulations of single life during the early 20th century. Known for her sharp observations on the complexities of love and relationships, Rowland's literary style resonates with a playful irony, often contrasting romantic ideals with the realities faced by modern singles. This blend of lyrical elegance with societal commentary situates her work within the larger context of feminist literature, calling attention to the evolving nature of gender roles in her time. Helen Rowland was a prominent American journalist and author whose experiences as a single woman during the early 1900s informed her writing. Known for her acerbic wit and sharp commentary on love and relationships, Rowland's perspective was particularly revolutionary as she navigated a male-dominated society. Her life's observations are skillfully woven into the fabric of her poetry, making her an essential voice in American literature. "The Rubáiyát of a Bachelor" is a must-read for those who appreciate clever social critique blended with lyrical poetry. It invites readers to indulge in the humorous yet poignant exploration of bachelorhood, making it an enduring classic for everyone intrigued by the complexities of love and the ever-changing social fabric.

    When an angel accidentally falls to Earth — quite literally — Victorian England isn’t ready for him. 
    In The Wonderful Visit, H. G. Wells blends gentle comedy, quiet wonder, and sharp social insight in this whimsical tale of the extraordinary disrupting the everyday. When a vicar mistakes a celestial visitor for a rare bird and wounds him, he soon discovers the “strange bird” is, in fact, an angel — bewildered, radiant, and suddenly subject to the odd rules of human life. 
    As the vicar tends to his unexpected guest, the angel must confront earthly aches, polite society, manners, gossip, and the peculiar limitations of mortals. What follows is a heart-touching and humorous exploration of innocence, belief, and the fragile barrier between the divine and the ordinary. 
    With charm and subtle satire, Wells invites us to consider how humanity might greet the miraculous — with curiosity, confusion, and perhaps a touch of grace. 
    A tender, thoughtful fantasy told with wit and warmth.
