Sinopsis

Maria Edgeworth's "Castle Rackrent" stands as a seminal work in the burgeoning genre of the novel, exemplifying the blend of realism and satire in early 19th-century literature. Composed in 1800, the narrative unfolds through the voice of Thady Quirk, the steadfast servant to the Rackrent family, offering readers a vivid portrayal of the decline of the Irish aristocracy. Edgeworth's meticulous attention to dialect and her use of a first-person perspective enhance the immediacy and authenticity of the text, while her sharp commentary on land ownership and social change in Ireland resonates with contemporaneous political and cultural discussions. Born in 1767 in England to a wealthy Anglo-Irish family, Maria Edgeworth lived a life that deeply informed her writing, particularly her exploration of class and cultural identity. Her educational background and experiences in Ireland greatly influenced her literary pursuits, allowing her to dissect the complexities of Irish society with both intimacy and critical insight. As an advocate for educational reform and women's rights, Edgeworth imbued her work with a substantive blend of advocacy and narrative, making her an early figure in feminist literature as well. "Castle Rackrent" is not merely a story; it is a pivotal text that invites readers to explore the intricacies of history and human experience through its deftly crafted characters and social commentary. Scholars and casual readers alike will treasure this work for its rich complexities and timeless themes, making it an essential addition to any literary collection.

    Cute, little college freshman Stacey Moreau sure picked the wrong class in which to grow lax in her studies. Her anatomy professor Bruce Dickerson has grown so incensed with her poor grades that he has no choice but to teach her a lesson.
     
    Not that the other students are doing much better. So, using his creative and dirty mind, he conjures up a plan that will hopefully set Stacey on the right track and teach her classmates to heighten their interest in human anatomy.
     
    And, that will require Stacey to, ahem, get completely undressed…for starters.
     
    Meanwhile, Shane Gray, the young man sitting behind her, is growing very interested in human anatomy—namely Stacey’s. So, when members of the class are invited to the front of the classroom to explore Stacey’s shivering, naked, and well-positioned body more closely, he takes full advantage of the situation—and her.
     
    Ah, it’s all so gratifying—and arousing. But if Shane thinks that feeling Stacey up every which way is to be the extent of his arousal, he’s got another thing coming! Professor Dickerson, it would appear, would also like to use Stacey, and a partner, to demonstrate the act of sexual intercourse to the class. And if she finds this all too unnerving and humiliating, oh well!
     
    Now then…any volunteers?
     
    Fans of ENF erotica featuring a shy, shivering, and profoundly humiliated college sweetie called upon to display every one of her female charms to her entire class—this one is for you! Get your copy today and discover one of the more creative ways to inspire interest in an otherwise dreary subject!

    As it is often said in fairy tales and historical analyses, Maša's childhood years were a time when empires were falling—the time of the war in Croatia, 1991. Underground Barbie is set in that era, but also in the sounds of her childhood, the music, and the atmosphere that accompanied Barbie's move from plastic, yet safe, dollhouses to air-raid shelters. Her Barbie was interpreted and narrated by a famous Croatian singer Tatiana Tajči Cameron, known to the Croatian public primarily for her wildly successful music career that burst out while representing Yugoslavia during the Eurosong competition. This is a story about the Barbie generation, which still remembers Yugoslavia and socialism but truly grew up and formed its views and interests in the 1990s. It is also the last generation that seriously played with dolls. Later, electric toys prevailed, the family as the fundamental unit of society and children’s play disintegrated, and dolls became as unconvincing as fairy tales had a few decades earlier.  
    Maša Kolanović published several scholarly works and literary works: the poetry collection Leeches for the Lonely (2001), the novel Sloboština Barbie (2008), the prose poem Jamerika Trip (2013), and the short story collection Dear Insects and Other Creepy Stories (2019) for which she received the Vladimir Nazor Award, the European Union Prize for Literature, and the Libar za vajk Award, and was a finalist for the Fric Award. She is an associate professor in the Department of Croatian Studies at the University of Zagreb. 
    The publication of Underground Barbie audiobook is co-funded by the Ministry of Culture and Media of the Republic of Croatia.
