  The Pit and the Pendulum

  "The Pit and the Pendulum" is a short story by American writer Edgar Allan Poe and a work of horror fiction. It was first published in 1842 in the literary annual The Gift: A Christmas and New Year's Present for 1843. The story is about the torments endured by a prisoner of the Spanish Inquisition, and is set very loosely during the Peninsular War between Spain and Napoleonic France (1808–1814), although it invokes the feared Inquisition of earlier centuries. The narrator of the story describes his experience of being tortured. The story inspires fear in the reader via its heavy focus on the senses, such as sound, emphasizing the inescapable reality of the coming doom. In this it is unlike Poe's stories which invoke the supernatural. The tale has been adapted to film several times.
  The unnamed narrator is brought to trial before sinister judges of the Spanish Inquisition, charged with offenses that are never stated. As seven tall white candles on a table slowly burn down, the narrator feels his hopes of survival diminishing as well. He is condemned to death, whereupon he faints and later awakens to find himself in a totally dark room. At first the prisoner thinks that he is locked in a tomb, but then he discovers that he is in a cell. He decides to explore the cell by placing a scrap of his robe against the wall so that he can count the paces around the room, but he faints before he can measure the whole perimeter.

  Herbert George Wells (21 September 1866 - 13 August 1946) was an English writer. Prolific in many genres, he wrote dozens of novels, short stories, and works of social commentary, history, satire, biography and autobiography. His work also included two books on recreational war games. Wells is now best remembered for his science fiction novels and is often called the "father of science fiction", along with Jules Verne and the publisher Hugo Gernsback.
  DOCTORS: In that extravagant world of which I dream, in which people will live in delightful cottages and ground rents will serve instead of rates, and everyone will have a chance of being happy-in that impossible world all doctors will be members of one great organisation for the public health, with all or most of their income guaranteed to them: I doubt if there will be any private doctors at all.

  Also known as The Possessed, Demons stands as one of Dostoevsky's most powerful and unsettling masterpieces — a vast psychological and spiritual drama that captures a nation in turmoil. In a Russia trembling between faith and chaos, a group of restless young intellectuals becomes consumed by revolutionary ideals, convinced that they can reshape the world through reason and destruction alike.Through a haunting mosaic of voices, Dostoevsky reveals how the pursuit of pure ideology can corrode the human soul and turn passion into madness. Demons is not merely a political novel; it is an epic of the spirit, a descent into the dark corridors of belief and guilt. Its vision of moral disintegration and collective hysteria remains strikingly prophetic — a mirror held up to every age where ideas eclipse humanity.
