Summary

Katherine Mansfield's "The Collected Works" gathers the essence of her literary genius, showcasing her innovative short stories, essays, and journals that profoundly influenced modernist fiction. With a keen eye for the subtleties of human experience, Mansfield employs a distinctive stream-of-consciousness style and rich, impressionistic imagery that invites readers into the complexities of her characters' inner lives. Set against the backdrop of the early 20th century, her works reflect the tumultuous social changes of her time, exploring themes of alienation, identity, and the fleeting nature of existence. As a prominent figure in the Bloomsbury Group and a contemporary of Virginia Woolf, Mansfield's own life experiences, marked by travel and personal upheaval, fuel her literary explorations. Her commitment to capturing the ephemeral essence of human emotion emerges from her own struggles with health and relationships, granting a visceral authenticity to her narratives. Mansfield's innovative techniques and perspectives often challenge conventions, marking her as a pivotal voice in the shaping of modernist literature. This collection is highly recommended for readers who seek a profound understanding of human relationships and the subtleties of intimacy. Mansfield's ability to weave poignant moments of insight into her characters' lives makes "The Collected Works" a timeless reflection on the human condition, inviting readers to ponder their own experiences and emotions.

    Fervent Freedom Fighters -...

    This anthology brings to light the richness of the pamphleteer tradition in France, between the 16th and 20th centuries. Though satirists and pamphleteers have emerged out of various political backgrounds down through the centuries, what they have in common is irreverence, courage and insubordination to all forms of power. Among them: Blanqui, Bloy, Desmoulins, Libertad, Proudhon, Rivarol, Séverine Vallès and Zo d'Axa.
At a time when freedom of expression is increasingly questioned, Daniel Cosculluela wanted to resurrect the fighting spirit of those who acted and wrote, often at the risk of their lives. Many of these fighters for freedom of speech and thought had to flee their countries to avoid prison or assassination. 
The author wanted to engage in a dialogue with those who live on through our thoughts, dreams and revolts. His choices are personal, but the writers selected have all played a major role in the movement of ideas which inspire, consciously or not, the commitment and the choises of millions of men and women today.

    This true story, set in the late 1960s, follows the journey of Kozmos Lovejoy, a young artist living in San Francisco fascinated by psychedelics, spiritual mythology, and Jungian therapy. One night, he dreams of a banquet in a Renaissance castle where he meets a beautiful young woman who seems to know him and a joyous, vibrant man in a toga who blesses the feast with laughter and joy. A few weeks later, while hiking in the jungle near Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, Koz discovers a spring that flows into a jungle pool. He meets the girl from his dream who shares a spiritual feast of knowledge and wisdom hidden for thousands of years in myths and metaphors buried in books and ancient texts. Thus begins Kozmos Lovejoy's journey of self-discovery, taking him from Puerto Vallarta across the American Southwest and finally high into the French Alps, where he camps with the Sufis and shares in this Feast of Knowledge. Here, the secret of stardust is revealed to him, and he gains a deeper understanding of this transformative period of awakening global consciousness. The Adventures of Kozmos Lovejoy, Exp is an epic adventure that blends Patrick O'Brien's personal experiences with a profound understanding of human potential. It celebrates a remarkable journey of self-awareness, inspiring the hearts, dreams, and imagination of those who dare surrender to the unknown by choice or chance.

    Henry James - A Short Story...

    Henry James was born 15th April 1843 in New York City. 
 
His youth was spent travelling with his family receiving what was an "extraordinarily haphazard and promiscuous" education as they journeyed through London, Paris, Geneva, Boulogne-sur-Mer and Newport, Rhode Island, according to the father's current interests and publishing ventures. James studied primarily with tutors and only briefly attended schools.    
 
Undoubtedly the quality of his writing has ensured his name is enshrined in the American literary tradition.  
 
James was a committed Anglophile and spent most of his adult life as an expatriate in Europe.  Many of his novels juxtapose the Old World with the New World. Classics such as ‘The Portrait of a Lady’, ‘Daisy Miller’ and ‘The Ambassadors’, display the entanglement between American and European cultures and mentalities. They highlight the differences between the two worlds through following the experiences of American expatriates in Europe.  
 
A prolific author he was able to easily move across genres to create vivid and totally real worlds and situations and to offer sophisticated observations of human relations as well as realistic, social criticism. 
As a critic James was unafraid to venture into reviews and essays of those other literary giants around him.  These together with his short stories and, of course, classic novels, make Henry James an author to be not only admired but read, and read often.  
 
In 1915 Henry James became a British citizen. 
 
On 28th February 1916, at the age of 72, Henry James died in Chelsea, London. 
 
He was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1911, 1912 and 1916. He never won.
