Sinossi

In "The Kentucky Warbler," James Lane Allen weaves a poignant narrative set against the backdrop of the Kentucky landscape. Utilizing rich, evocative prose and a keen eye for rural life, Allen captures the essence of his characters as they navigate the delicate balance between personal desires and societal expectations. The novel, infused with psychological depth, illustrates the transformational power of nature and the pursuit of authenticity. It is emblematic of the Southern Gothic style, exploring themes of love, loss, and identity within the lush, often oppressive environment of post-Civil War Kentucky. James Lane Allen, a prominent American author from the late 19th century, was deeply influenced by his native Kentucky, which served as both setting and character in many of his works. His insights into the human condition were likely shaped by his own experiences in the region and his commitment to exploring the complexities of life in the South. Allen's literary contributions, including short stories and essays, reveal his dedication to the themes of morality and individuality; these elements are palpably present in "The Kentucky Warbler." This compelling read is highly recommended for those interested in Southern literature or the psychological intricacies of character development. Allen's masterful storytelling and lyrical style will resonate with readers who appreciate the interplay between landscape and identity. "The Kentucky Warbler" stands as a testament to the enduring power of nature in shaping human experience.

    The Booker Prize–winning author of The Sea re-creates the life of the Renaissance mathematical genius Johannes Kepler and his incredible drive to chart the orbits of the planets and the geometry of the universe.Johannes Kepler, born in 1571 in southern Germany, was one of the world’s greatest mathematicians and astronomers. The novel Kepler by John Banville brilliantly re-creates his life and his work, which laid the foundation of the universe even while he was being driven from exile to exile by religious and domestic strife. At the same time, it illuminates the harsh realities of the Renaissance world, rich in imaginative daring but rooted in poverty, squalor and the tyrannical power of emperors."What Banville writes is historically accurate, but his [are] a novelist's truth, and…a lover's prose." —Newsweek

    Mayer André Marcel Schwob was born in Chaville, Hauts-de-Seine, France on 23rd August 1867 into a cultivated Jewish family.  
 
As a child he devoured the works of Poe and Stevenson in French and then again in English.  His attachment to the bizarre and dark was already forming. 
 
His education at the Lycée of Nantes earned him the 1st Prize for Excellence.  In 1881, he was in Paris with his maternal uncle to study at the Lycée Louis-le-Grand.  Schwob quickly developed his multilingual abilities and then studied philology and Sanscrit at the École pratique des hautes études before completing his military service in Vannes with the artillery. 
 
After completing a Bachelor of Arts in 1888 he became a professional journalist and worked for the Phare de la Loire, the Événement and L'Écho de Paris. 
 
The 1890’s marked his establishment as a brilliant writer with the publication of six short story collections.   
 
He fell ill in 1896 with a chronic, incurable intestinal disorder.  He also suffered recurring bouts of influenza and pneumonia.  Intestinal surgery was given several times, at first with success but, by 1900, after two more surgeries, he was told that nothing more could be done for him.  Schwob now existed on kefir and fermented milk. 
 
By the turn of the century, despite failing health, and often too ill to write, he embarked on several long travels, including to Vailima in the South Pacific where his literary hero Stevenson had died.  
 
Schwob was regarded as a symbolist writer and a ‘precursor of Surrealism’.  He wrote over a hundred short stories, journalistic articles, essays, biographies, literary reviews and analysis, translations and plays.  
 
Marcel Schwob died on 26th February 1905 of Pneumonia.  He was 37.
