  Masterful Psychological Realism: Delve into complex portraits of love, marriage, and ambition, written with a bold honesty that challenged the moral boundaries of his time.

  Nicholson was born on December 9, 1866, in Crawfordsville, Indiana, to Edward Willis Nicholson and the former Emily Meredith.

He wrote Short Flights in 1891, and continued to publish extensively, both poetry and prose until 1928.

  Ethan Frome - A Tale of a New...

  Edith Wharton

  • 0

  A farmer trapped by a hard New England winter, a sick wife who rules from her chair, and the girl who has come to keep house for them. Wharton framed it as a story reconstructed by a stranger years later, so the reader knows from the first pages that something has already gone wrong. She wrote it as a stylistic exercise and produced the least forgiving book of her career. Fifty-eight plates of painting from 1840 to 1907, including a self portrait and likenesses by James Atkinson and George Chinnery, carry the novel's own theme of faces fixed by a hard winter.

  What does a man see when he dies, and what does he do with that knowledge once he returns? 
   
  Pronounced dead by the physicians at his bedside, the narrator of this extraordinary Victorian diary lay lifeless for two days before, to everyone's astonishment, he came back to life. What he wrote down afterwards is the document you are about to hear: a haunting, deeply personal record of the soul's passage beyond the grave, set down with the urgency of a man who cannot stay silent about what he has witnessed. 
   
  First published in 1890, Coulson Kernahan's debut novel was a critical success that established him as a serious voice in English fiction. Part vision, part confession, part moral meditation, A Dead Man's Diary blends the Gothic imagination of its age with timeless questions about heaven and hell, faith and self-deception, conscience and judgment, and what truly matters when everything else falls away. 
   
  Eerie, earnest, and unexpectedly moving, this forgotten classic of visionary fiction is for anyone who has ever lain awake wondering what lies beyond the veil.
