A Jar of Honey from Mount Hybla

Leigh Hunt

Publisher: DigiCat

Summary

In "A Jar of Honey from Mount Hybla," Leigh Hunt invites readers into a rich tapestry of reflection, blending poetry and prose to evoke the sensibilities of early 19th-century Romanticism. This collection features an array of essays, stories, and meditations that capture the delicate interplay between nature and the human experience. Hunt's eloquent style is marked by a pastoral lyricism, employing vivid imagery and metaphor that draw heavily on classical influences, all while mirroring the burgeoning spirit of individualism and emotional depth characteristic of his time. Leigh Hunt, an esteemed English critic, essayist, and poet, was a central figure in the Romantic movement. His influential friendships with luminaries such as John Keats and Percy Bysshe Shelley shaped his literary development, fostering a commitment to beauty, harmony, and social justice. Hunt's diverse experiences, ranging from his journalistic endeavors to prison time due to his political opinions, permeate the text, infusing it with both personal and philosophical insights that invite contemplation. This book is a compelling read for those interested in the intersections of nature, language, and the human spirit. Hunt's deeply personal approach to writing provides an intimate and enriching exploration that transcends its era, making it essential for both scholars and enthusiasts of Romantic literature.

My Man Jeeves The Inimitable...

P. G. Wodehouse

P.G. Wodehouse, the master of British humor, produced dozens of books and hundreds of short stories in his long and prolific career. But none of his creations has quite captured the world's imagination as much as his bumbling, empty-headed, man-about-town Bertie Wooster and Bertie's faithful, knight-in-shining tuxedo Jeeves.   Collected here are three of Wodehouse's most beloved "Jeeves and Wooster" tales - including eight short stories from the anthology "My Man, Jeeves," as well as the complete novels "The Inimitable Jeeves" and "Right Ho, Jeeves" - each a master class in comedic writing. ("My Man Jeeves" also features four stories surrounding Reggie Pepper, an early Bertie Wooster prototype.).  Along with Jeeves and Bertie, we are introduced to an entire cast of beloved Wodehouse characters: Madeline Bassett, Bingo Little, James "Corky" Corcoran, Honoria Glossop, Rockmetteller Todd and the terrifying and bombastic Aunt Agatha.  These three books are presented here in their original and unabridged form.
