Sinopsis

Mark Twain's "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer & Huckleberry Finn (Illustrated)" presents a vivid and engaging exploration of youth, freedom, and morality set against the backdrop of the Mississippi River. Through the lens of young protagonists Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn, Twain employs rich, colloquial language, humor, and a sharp critique of societal norms, reflecting the complexities of pre-Civil War America. The illustrations enhance the narrative's charm and help convey the atmosphere of adventure and recklessness inherent in the boys' escapades, from treasure hunts to experiencing the trials of friendship and the moral dilemmas of freedom and race. Mark Twain, born Samuel Langhorne Clemens, grew up along the Mississippi River, which deeply influenced his view of American society. His firsthand experiences with the river, as well as the region's racial tensions, inform the authenticity and depth of the characters and settings in this work. Twain's background as a riverboat pilot and his later travels shaped his keen observations on human behavior, prompting him to explore themes of adventure, identity, and social justice in a compelling manner. This illustrated edition serves as an essential read for anyone interested in American literature and the themes of childhood and societal critique. Twain's masterful storytelling, coupled with the visual artistry, invites readers of all ages to delve into a timeless adventure that resonates with the complexities of youth and the enduring quest for freedom. A must-have for both scholars and casual readers alike, it sparks reflection on the moral compass of its characters and their country.

The portrayal of Stephen Dedalus's Dublin childhood and youth, his quest for identity through art and his gradual emancipation from the claims of family, religion and Ireland itself, is also an oblique self-portrait of the young James Joyce and a universal testament to the artist's 'eternal imagination'. Both an insight into Joyce's life and childhood, and a unique work of modernist fiction, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man is a novel of sexual awakening, religious rebellion and the essential search for voice and meaning that every nascent artist must face in order to blossom fully into themselves.

From a future of electronic doas and AI psychotherapists, sense-activated communion with forests and a portal to realms undersea, to a reimagined origin and afterlife—editor and translator Nazry Bahrawi brings together an exciting selection of never-before translated and new Malay spec-fic stories by established and emerging writers from Singapore.  
 
 
Especially in an anglophone-dominated genre, very little of Malay speculative fiction from Singapore is known to readers here and beyond. Yet contemporary Bahasa literature here is steeped in spec-fic writing that can account as a literary movement (aliran)—and unmistakably draws from the minority Malay experience in a city obsessed with progress.
