  Charles Dickens’s The Haunted Man and the Ghost’s Bargain (1848) was the last of his five Christmas books, following A Christmas Carol, The Chimes, The Cricket on the Hearth, and The Battle of Life. Like its predecessors, it is not a simple tale of the festive season but a moral study that uses the supernatural to explore human sympathy, memory, and redemption.

  Émile Zola

  His Masterpiece is a fictional account of Zola's friendship with Paul Cezanne and a fairly accurate portrayal of the Parisian art world in the mid 19th century. The story follows painter Claude Lantier who advocates painting real subjects in real places, most notably outdoors. This is in stark contrast to the artistic establishment, where artists painted in the studio and concentrated on mythological, historical and religious subjects. His art making is revolutionary and he has a small circle of like-minded friends equally intent on shaking up the art world and challenging the establishment.

  "Madame Bovary" is a novel by French author Gustave Flaubert, first published in 1857. It is considered one of the greatest works of world literature and a seminal example of literary realism. The story follows the life of Emma Bovary, a young woman married to a country doctor, Charles Bovary. Dissatisfied with her provincial life and longing for romance and luxury, Emma becomes increasingly entangled in a web of debt and adultery. Flaubert's novel is a scathing critique of the French bourgeoisie and a masterful exploration of the consequences of romantic idealism and societal expectations.

  'Christs in the Tirol' is more of an essay on this peculiar art form than a short story, it is included in this series as forming part of Lawrence's record of his wanderings in Europe and partly as a record of Lawrence's attitude to religion and death and foreshadowing his own eventual suffering and death.

  When the young English widow Lilia Herriton takes off on the grand tour and along the way marries a penniless Italian, her in-laws are far from amused. That the marriage should fail and poor Lilia die tragically are only to be expected.
  
  But that Lilia should have had a baby - and that the baby should be raised as an Italian - are matters of grave concern to Philip Herriton, his dour sister Harriet, and their well-meaning friend Miss Abbott.
  
  E.M. Forster (born January 1, 1879, London) was a British novelist, essayist, and social and literary critic. He is most renowned and admired for his novels Howards End (1910), A Passage to India (1924), and his large body of criticism.
