Mark Twain

Maison d'édition: Zenith Maple Leaf Press

Synopsis

🌊 A runaway boy. A fugitive slave. A river that carries them toward freedom—and into unforgettable adventures.

First published in 1884, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is Mark Twain's masterpiece and one of the most important works in American literature. Narrated by the mischievous yet honest Huck Finn, the novel follows his daring escape from a life of cruelty and conformity. Teaming up with Jim, an enslaved man fleeing bondage, Huck drifts down the mighty Mississippi River, encountering con men, feuding families, and moments of danger, humor, and deep reflection.

Far more than just a thrilling adventure, Twain's novel is a sharp critique of society, exposing the hypocrisy of racism, the struggle for freedom, and the search for moral truth. Written in Twain's signature wit and rich dialect, it remains both entertaining and profoundly moving—a book that challenges readers to question values, traditions, and justice itself.

🌟 Considered the "Great American Novel," this timeless classic continues to inspire, provoke, and delight readers of all ages.

The Sorrows of Young Werther

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Enter the tormented heart of a young man overwhelmed by passion, beauty, and the crushing pain of unreturned love. In The Sorrows of Young Werther, Goethe presents the personal letters of Werther, a tender, idealistic artist who falls deeply for Charlotte—an alluring woman already engaged to someone else. 
As Werther’s admiration turns into fixation, his thoughts on love, nature, art, and suffering become more intense and consuming. Framed by the scenic beauty of the German countryside, his emotional journey unfolds into a moving exploration of yearning, heartbreak, and the blurry boundary between romantic idealism and emotional collapse. 
A defining work of the Sturm und Drang era and a seminal piece of Romantic literature, The Sorrows of Young Werther is far more than a love story—it’s a raw, lyrical outpouring from a soul in turmoil. It moved a generation and shocked Europe with its emotional candor and heartbreaking conclusion. 
Whether you see it as a tragic love story or a reflection of your own quiet desires, Werther’s voice will linger long after you’ve turned the last page.
