Sinopse

In "Under Western Eyes," Joseph Conrad delivers a complex and introspective narrative that probes the murky waters of identity, betrayal, and the clash of cultures at the turn of the 20th century. Set against the politically charged backdrop of Russia and Europe, the novel unfolds through the perspective of an Englishman, offering a rich tapestry of psychological insight and moral ambiguity. Conrad's hallmark prose, infused with existential themes, resonates with the literary movement of modernism, while its exploration of revolutionary ideals reflects the sociopolitical turbulence of the era, inviting readers to ponder the inherent contradictions of the human condition. Joseph Conrad, a Polish-born writer who later became a British citizen, infuses his personal experiences as an outsider into his works, often grappling with themes of colonialism, identity, and cultural dissonance. His seafaring background and encounters with diverse cultures profoundly informed his literary voice, especially in "Under Western Eyes." Here, Conrad's own feelings of alienation and dislocation deeply inform the narrative, paralleling the tumult of early 20th-century ideological struggles. Recommended for scholars of modern literature and enthusiasts of psychological fiction, this unabridged deluxe edition of "Under Western Eyes" is a compelling read that demands contemplation. Conrad's nuanced exploration of human motivations and ethical dilemmas offers timeless relevance, making this book an essential addition to any literary canon.

An exuberant man as well as a prolific and gifted writer, G. K. Chesterton (1874-1936) was a man with very strong opinions - and extremely capable of defending them. In this hilarious, satirical romp, Chesterton demonstrates his intense distrust of power and "progressives," railing against Prohibition, vegetarianism, theosophy, and other "dreary and oppressive" forces of modernity. In a spirited response to the government's attempt to curtail alcohol sales, Humphrey Pump (called Hump) a pub owner in the fishing village of Pebblewick takes to the road in a donkey cart. Accompanied by Captain Patrick Dalroy, a crimson-haired giant with a tendency to burst into song, Hump provisions the cart with a cask of good rum, a giant round of cheese, and the signpost from his pub, The Flying Inn. Together, the two men extend good cheer to an increasingly restless populace as they attempt to evade Prohibition. In a journey that becomes a rollicking madcap adventure, the two travel round England, encountering revolution, romance, and a cast of memorable characters. Sure to receive an enthusiastic welcome from Chesterton fans, this new edition of an old classic will also appeal to anyone who enjoys a humorous, well-crafted tale.
