Sinossi

Written in poetic prose, although it features poems with different themes, in this first poem collection, the author shows us, from different perspectives, how our life is full of stones that do not exist, but we insist on seeing and of smiles that we do not see, but that are there whenever we want to access them. Must we only open our eyes? You will find out inside the book. 


Besides, among stones and smiles, the author also takes us through situations where two are always one, because in love, one cannot be two. 


In this way, he makes us aware of the intangible, the only thing that can lead us to plenitude. It’s because of this that we are can walk through worlds that are made from some verses that can only be written by the soul. 


In fact, that’s how it has been. 


And if by the inertia of what you are doing, as you turn the final page, you and what you used to be were no longer here?

    The language of Poetry is an art that most of us attempt at some point in our lives.  Although its commonplace exposure has been somewhat marginalised in today’s often fast-paced lives we all recognise good verse that can empathise with our thoughts or open us up to experience new things in new ways, to better understand and to enjoy the many strands of our lives. 
But finding a starting point can be overwhelming, even off-putting, so in this series we offer up our Top 10 classic poets, who brim with talent and verse, on a range of subjects and themes that we can all enjoy. 
The United States may be far younger than many nations on Earth, yet its tumultuous history has reaped a harvest of poets and poetry of very fine calibre.  In this volume we explore the verse of the Mid-Atlantic.

    Long theorized to be one of Shakespeare's mid-career works, As You Like It remains an evergreen favorite for audiences and scholars alike for its sparkling characters, pastoral setting, gorgeous prose and entertaining storylines that converge in fun and surprising ways. When several characters, including an elderly French duke, his headstrong daughter Rosalind, and Rosalind's handsome love interest Orlando, are forced to flee the kingdom and take refuge in the neighboring Forest of Arden, their adventures therein lead to a series of amusing encounters and mix-ups. Genders are reversed, courtships are developed, attractions are left unrequited, and the action reflected upon by the likes of witty fools and discontented courtiers. Who will end up with whom? Who will be left in the lurch? And will the pastoral chaos in Arden reach a satisfying resolution? You'll have to listen to find out!

    The Great Gatsby

    The Great Gatsby is a 1925 novel by American writer F. Scott Fitzgerald.  
Set in the Jazz Age on Long Island, near New York City, the novel depicts first-person narrator Nick Carraway's interactions with mysterious millionaire Jay Gatsby and Gatsby's obsession to reunite with his former lover, Daisy Buchanan. Inspired by a youthful romance Fitzgerald had with socialite Ginevra King, and the riotous parties he attended on Long Island's North Shore in 1922.  
During World War II, the novel experienced an abrupt surge in popularity when the Council on Books in Wartime distributed free copies to American soldiers serving overseas. This new-found popularity launched a critical and scholarly re-examination, and the work soon became a core part of most American high school curricula and a part of American popular culture. Numerous stage and film adaptations followed in the subsequent decades.  
Gatsby continues to attract popular and scholarly attention.  
Contemporary scholars emphasize the novel's treatment of social class, inherited versus self-made wealth, race, and environmentalism, and its cynical attitude towards the American dream. The Great Gatsby is widely considered to be a literary masterwork and a contender for the title of the Great American Novel.  
Narrated by Michael Ward.

    The basic idea of this book is to share life experiences, and thereby give comfort and encourage smiles, by showing my own and others’ reflections on different life-situations. I am sure that many of them are comparable to those that occur in your life, or to others around you. By sharing 
experiences, we all learn something. Women are probably sharing thoughts more often than men. Many of the events in this book have also been discussed in female groups. They have not all been personally experienced by me but are the consensus from these fruitful discussions.
 Now I am pleased to share them with you. Among the experiences discussed in this book: heartbreak, the #MeToo movement and my own experiences, divorce as its complication as a
 parent, and my own thoughts about the pandemic. I also share with you my thoughts about the aging process that we all must endure, if we are lucky enough to live that long, since life is still a gift given to us all. We ought to remember that and enjoy the journey.

    The Metamorphosis

    "As Gregor Samsa awoke one morning from uneasy dreams, he found himself transformed in his bed into a gigantic insect."

With one of the most famous opening lines in literary history, Franz Kafka plunges the reader into the life of Gregor Samsa, a hardworking traveling salesman who becomes a monstrous vermin overnight. But the true horror of The Metamorphosis isn't the physical transformation—it is the reaction of the world around him. As Gregor becomes a burden to the family he once supported, the story unfolds into a tragic, darkly comic, and deeply unsettling exploration of isolation and the fragile nature of human worth.

The Birth of the "Kafkaesque": Kafka's narrative style creates a world that is at once mundane and nightmarish. The "Kafkaesque" experience is defined by the struggle against an illogical, bureaucratic, and uncaring power—in this case, the expectations of labor and the cold pragmatism of a family under economic stress. Gregor's transformation serves as a powerful metaphor for anyone who has ever felt "othered," discarded, or trapped by their social role.

A Deeply Human Tragedy: Beyond the surreal premise lies a searing look at family dynamics. Witness the transformation of Grete, Gregor's sister, from a sympathetic caretaker to the primary advocate for his removal. The Metamorphosis challenges us to ask: If we can no longer provide value to those we love, do we still deserve their love? It is a quintessential work of 20th-century literature that remains as relevant and gut-wrenching today as the day it was written.

Step into the room of Gregor Samsa. Purchase "The Metamorphosis" today and experience the ultimate story of the outsider.
