Under Western Eyes (Unabridged Deluxe Edition)

Joseph Conrad

Casa editrice: DigiCat

Sinossi

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.

A Good Dog's Guide to Murder

Krista Davis

Visitors are arriving in droves to spend Thanksgiving in the mountains of pet-friendly Wagtail, Virginia. Many of them are bringing dog and cat gingerbread houses to enter in the contest that will be held in the new convention center. Wagtail resident Orly Biffle bequeathed the land to the town in his will, provided that they not cut down the grand old oak tree on the property. Orly's children are mighty miffed that they didn't inherit the prime piece of property overlooking the lake. 
 
 
  
Holly notices that Trixie and Twinkletoes, her calico kitty, are fixated on the big oak tree. Trixie barks at it as though she thinks it's a corpse! Just as contestants are spicing up their sweet gingerbread creations, the majestic tree drops an enormous limb. The mayor declares that the tree is dangerous and must come down. When a bulldozer churns up some roots, the tree falls over on its own accord revealing a body inside the trunk! Initially, everyone suspects this unsavory trick was Orly's doing. But it soon becomes clear that someone is trying to keep the truth under wraps. Trixie and Twinkletoes now have to help Holly sniff out some suspects and leash a conniving killer.
