Sinopsis

The "Collected Works of James Hogg: Novels, Scottish Mystery Tales & Fantasy Stories" presents a rich tapestry of narrative elements that intertwine realism with the supernatural, reflecting Hogg's unique contribution to Scottish literature. This compendium encompasses a variety of genres, from gothic horror to whimsical fantasy, all characterized by Hogg's masterful command of language and atmospheric detail. The stories highlight the duality of human experience, often set against the haunting backdrop of the Scottish landscape, infusing the prose with an enchanting darkness that resonates deeply with readers familiar with the Romantic period's preoccupation with nature and mysticism. James Hogg, often referred to as the "Ettrick Shepherd," was deeply rooted in the folklore and oral traditions of Scotland, which profoundly influenced his storytelling. His humble upbringing and experiences as a shepherd provided him with a unique perspective on rural life and the struggles of the human spirit. Throughout his literary career, Hogg remained an astute observer of society, often critiquing contemporary norms while celebrating the rich cultural heritage of Scotland, which is evident in the diverse themes woven throughout his collected works. For readers seeking to delve into the enigmatic realms of Scottish literature, Hogg's collected works serve as both an introduction and a profound exploration of the human and the supernatural. His intricate narratives not only entertain but also provoke thought, making this collection a valuable addition to any literary library, offering insight into a bygone era imbued with magical realism and profound psychological depth.

    Victor-Marie Hugo (26 February 1802 - 22 May 1885) was a French poet, novelist, essayist, playwright, and dramatist of the Romantic movement. During a literary career that spanned more than sixty years, he wrote abundantly in an exceptional variety of genres: lyrics, satires, epics, philosophical poems, epigrams, novels, history, critical essays, political speeches, funeral orations, diaries, and letters public and private, as well as dramas in verse and prose.
    VOLUME 5: JEAN VALJEAN: The two most memorable barricades which the observer of social maladies can name do not belong to the period in which the action of this work is laid. These two barricades, both of them symbols, under two different aspects, of a redoubtable situation, sprang from the earth at the time of the fatal insurrection of June, 1848, the greatest war of the streets that history has ever beheld.

    "My English comp teacher Mr. Glicksberg says if you want to be a writer you have to—quote—sit on a window sill and get all pensive and stuff and jot down descriptions. Unquote Glicksberg! I don't know what kind of things he writes but I found my inspiration in Malibu with a radio, my best girlfriends, and absolutely zillions of boys for miles. I absolutely had to write everything down because I heard that when you get older you forget things, and I'd be the most miserable woman in the world if I forgot about Moondoggie and what happened this summer. I absolutely owe the world my story. (And every word is true. I swear.)"
