Summary

"Ulysses," James Joyce's magnum opus, is a groundbreaking literary work that immerses readers into a single day in the life of Leopold Bloom in Dublin on June 16, 1904. Joyce delves into the depths of the human psyche through complex and experimental prose, setting new standards for modern fiction.

Across its 18 chapters, Joyce employs a variety of narrative styles, including stream of consciousness, interior monologue, and even parodies of existing literary styles, to explore the thoughts, desires, and memories of his characters. The narrative follows not only Bloom but also Stephen Dedalus, a budding writer who echoes the character of Ulysses from Greek mythology.

"Ulysses" is much more than a mere depiction of everyday life; it's a profound exploration of the human condition, addressing universal themes such as love, death, religion, politics, and identity. Joyce challenges the literary conventions of his time by crafting a novel that unfolds over a single day yet contains reflections and perspectives that transcend time and space.

This iconic book is renowned for its complexity and rich symbolism, as well as its ability to capture reality intensely and often humorously. "Ulysses" remains a challenge for readers, but also an endless source of inspiration and fascination for those who seek to explore the depths of the human condition through the art of fiction.

    “The House of Mirth” was the breakthrough novel for Edith Wharton and its immediate commercial and critical success put her on the American literary map.   
Based on Wharton’s own experiences among the elite of the New York City social set in the late 1890’s, “The House of Mirth” is both a fascinating glimpse into the upper-reaches of high society and a searing satire of the cruelties, frivolities and hypocrisy of the city’s ultra-rich.  The story follows the romantic entanglements of twenty-nine year old Lily Bart, a beautiful socialite who has fallen on hard financial times and must secure a rich husband before the clock runs out and she is forever branded a spinster.   
An immediate success when it was first serialized and published in 1905, “The House of Mirth” launched Wharton’s extraordinary career and remains an American literary classic to this day.  It is presented here in its original and unabridged format.

Conan Doyle has been inspired by the real case of the ship Mary Celeste which has been found drifting in the Atlantic off Portugal, under full sail but apparently abandoned. He has been one of the first to publish a version of what happened. He drew heavily on fact but included significant differences that have since accredited to the real story, not least in calling the ship the Marie, rather than Mary, Celeste. Some journalists even took his account for real.
Joseph Habakuk Jephson, a soldier who was hurt in the battle of Antietam during the American Civil War, is in convalescence. One day, an old black maid offers him a black oval shaped stone which belonged to her ancestors. At the end of the war, Jephson gets married and establishes himself as a doctor in Brooklyn.
