Beschreibung

Nathaniel Hawthorne's "Complete Short Stories" presents a rich tapestry of narratives that delve into the human psyche, moral complexities, and societal norms of the 19th century. Characterized by its intricate symbolism and profound allegory, the collection showcases Hawthorne's mastery of the short story form, exploring themes of sin, redemption, and the interplay of light and shadow in human existence. The meticulously crafted illustrations in this edition enhance the reading experience, inviting readers to immerse themselves fully in the haunting atmospheres and moral dilemmas that permeate Hawthorne's work. Born in 1804 in Salem, Massachusetts, Nathaniel Hawthorne's literary voice was profoundly shaped by his Puritan heritage and the moral rigidity of his upbringing. His family's past, intertwined with the Salem witch trials, influenced his exploration of guilt and the darker aspects of human nature. A contemporary of leading transcendentalists like Emerson and Thoreau, Hawthorne'Äôs nuanced view of humanity often stood in contrast to the idealism of his peers, prompting him to articulate a vision of life that grapples with the complexities of moral choice. For both long-time fans and new readers, this illustrated edition of Hawthorne's complete short stories is an essential addition to the literary canon. It offers a fascinating juxtaposition of moral inquiry and artistic representation, making it a compelling read for anyone interested in the depths of human experience and the rich landscape of American literature. Dive into Hawthorne's worlds, where every tale invites reflection and contemplation.

    The Great Gatsby is a dazzling portrayal of the American Dream—and its disillusionment—set during the roaring 1920s. Narrated by the reflective Nick Carraway, the novel centers around the mysterious and fabulously wealthy Jay Gatsby, who throws lavish parties in hopes of rekindling a lost romance with the beautiful Daisy Buchanan. Beneath the glamour and jazz-age extravagance, the story unfolds as a haunting critique of ambition, love, and the pursuit of happiness in a world driven by materialism.Fitzgerald's lyrical prose captures both the enchantment and emptiness of high society, making The Great Gatsby a profound and enduring classic. With its themes of longing, illusion, and social decay, the novel continues to resonate as a cautionary tale about the cost of chasing dreams in a world where reality rarely matches fantasy.

    This wonderful novella, first published in 1899, has been described as a case study of 19th-century feminism. Kate Chopin began writing the novel in 1897 and, after its publication, it was heavily criticized as "not wholesome", "vulgar" and even "poison" by the press of the time. The novella received such a wave of disdain that the once-popular author was forced into literary obscurity. The Awakening went out of print for more than 50 years. When it was rediscovered in the 1950s, critics were in wonder at its modern sensibility. A second edition was published in 1964. Now widely read, The Awakening is critically acclaimed and it is an absolute must-read for feminists everywhere, not only for its beautiful pros but as an acknowledgment of how far we have come, albeit far more slowly than some might have hoped.

    Matthew Insists on Puffed Sleeves: Matthew was having a bad ten minutes of it. He had come into the kitchen, in the twilight of a cold, grey December evening, and had sat down in the wood-box corner to take off his heavy boots, unconscious of the fact that Anne and a bevy of her schoolmates were having a practice of "The Fairy Queen" in the sitting-room.
