Sinopsis

In "One Day More," Joseph Conrad intricately weaves a narrative that explores the themes of existentialism, morality, and human resilience. With his characteristic stylistic precision, Conrad employs a rich, atmospheric prose that immerses readers in the psychological turmoil of his characters. Set against a backdrop where time is both a prison and a liberator, the novel compels readers to ponder the precarious balance between hope and despair, encapsulated in the poignant and often haunting experiences of its protagonists. The literary context of this work links it to the broader modernist movement, incorporating elements of introspection and fragmented time that reflect the complexities of the human condition in the early 20th century. Joseph Conrad, a Polish-born author who navigated the turbulent waters of the human experience both personally and professionally, brings a profound understanding to this text. His experiences at sea, coupled with his deeply ingrained philosophical inquiries, influence the moral quandaries faced by the characters in "One Day More." Conrad's unique lens, drawn from his diverse life experiences, informs the narrative's depth and the existential questions it raises. For readers seeking an exploration of the core human emotions and struggles against the inexorable passage of time, "One Day More" is a compelling choice. It invites readers to reflect on their own lives while navigating the beautifully crafted prose of one of literature's greatest minds.

    Written during the final stages of her illness, "The Garden Party and Other Stories" is full of a sense of urgency and was Katherine Mansfield's last collection to be published during her lifetime. The fifteen stories featured, many of them set in her native New Zealand, vary in length and tone from the opening story, "At the Bay, " a vivid impressionistic evocation of family life, to the short, sharp sketch "Mrs. Brill, " in which a lonely woman's precarious sense of self is brutally destroyed when she overhears two young lovers mocking her. Sensitive revelations of human behaviour, these stories reveal Mansfield's supreme talent as an innovator who freed the story from its conventions and gave it a new strength and prestige.

    The Narrative of Arthur Gordon...

    Rum, a sailing ship, and a dare…   …What could go wrong?   Edgar Allan Poe’s only complete novel, The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket is one of the first adventure stories set in and around the Antarctic, which at the time was a place of mystery and the unknown.   Pym takes us on an adventure across the seas to uncharted southern lands that are fraught with danger. With shipwrecks, murder, mutiny, and, yes, cannibalism, this tale has it all. First published in 1838, midway between Defoe’s Robinson Crusoe and Stevenson’s Treasure Island, Poe’s Pym echoes one and presages the other while delving even deeper into the darkness of men’s souls.   This new edition, with a new Foreword by New York Times best-selling author and Bram Stoker Award winner Jonathan Maberry, brings the classic tale back to life. Not for the faint of heart, Poe’s novel, which inspired H.G. Wells, Jules Verne, H.P. Lovecraft, and many others, reflects the wonder and dangers of exploring the unknown.
