  The Paying Guest by George Gissing is a poignant exploration of love, sacrifice, and societal expectations in late 19th-century England. The story centers on the Harrow family, particularly Grace Harrow, who takes in lodgers to support her struggling household after her father’s death. When charming but penniless writer Edwin Claydon becomes their paying guest, romantic tensions arise between him and Grace. Their relationship is complicated by financial pressures, familial duty, and the rigid class norms of the time. Gissing skillfully examines the constraints placed on women like Grace, whose opportunities are limited by economic dependence and social conventions. As personal desires clash with practical realities, the characters grapple with moral dilemmas and the compromises demanded by survival. The Paying Guest offers a sensitive critique of Victorian society, highlighting the quiet struggles of ordinary lives bound by circumstance and tradition.

  A Geography of Wonder

  What does it mean to feel awe in an age when every corner of the planet can be seen from a screen? 
  In A Geography of Wonder, celebrated travel writer Reece Davis sets out on a deeply personal quest — to rediscover the feeling that first drew him to the road: wonder. From Iceland’s volcanic deserts to the emerald jungles of Borneo, from silent Arctic nights to crowded city streets, Davis seeks out places and moments that still have the power to humble and astonish. 
  Along the way, he reflects on how wonder shapes our understanding of the world — and why, in a time of speed and certainty, slowing down to feel awe might be the greatest act of exploration left. 
  Blending rich travel narrative with philosophy and poetic insight, A Geography of Wonder is a celebration of curiosity, reverence, and the untamed beauty that still beats within the human spirit.
