Summary

Before Orwell. Before Huxley. There was Jack London.

The Iron Heel is one of the earliest and most chilling works of dystopian fiction. In this prophetic novel, Jack London imagines a totalitarian future ruled by a brutal corporate oligarchy known as the Oligarchs. Through the eyes of Ernest Everhard and his wife Avis, readers witness the rise of fascism, class warfare, and revolution in a capitalist world gone mad.

Long overlooked, The Iron Heel eerily predicts the tactics of authoritarian regimes, economic inequality, and surveillance long before they became global concerns.

    Great Expectations is a timeless journey of ambition, pride, love, and redemption. It tells the story of Pip, an orphan who dreams of becoming a gentleman after a chance encounter with wealth and high society. Along the way, he discovers love in Estella, loyalty in Joe, and gratitude in Magwitch—the convict whose unexpected generosity transforms Pip’s destiny. 
From the decaying mansion of Miss Havisham to the bustling streets of London, the novel explores the cost of chasing illusions and the strength found in humility. Pip’s “great expectations” teach us that true wealth is not measured by fortune or status, but by authenticity, loyalty, and love.

    The Lady of the Shroud is a novel by Bram Stoker, published by William Heinemann in 1909.
The book is an epistolary novel, narrated in the first person via letters and diary extracts from various characters, but mainly Rupert. The initial sections, leading up to the reading of the uncle's will, told by other characters, suggest that Rupert is the black sheep of the family, and the conditions of having to live in the castle in the Blue Mountains for a year before he can permanently inherit the unexpectedly large million-pound estate suggest the uncle is somehow testing the heir.
