  • 0

  Booker Taliaferro Washington (April 5, 1856 - November 14, 1915) was an American educator, author, orator, and adviser to several presidents of the United States. Between 1890 and 1915, Washington was the dominant leader in the African American community and of the contemporary black elite. Washington was from the last generation of black American leaders born into slavery and became the leading voice of the former slaves and their descendants. They were newly oppressed in the South by disenfranchisement and the Jim Crow discriminatory laws enacted in the post-Reconstruction Southern states in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
  THE HIGHEST EDUCATION: It may seem to some of you that I am continually talking to you about education-the right kind of education, how to get an education, and such kindred subjects-but surely no subject could be more pertinent, since the object for which you all are here is to get an education; and if you are to do this, you wish to get the best kind possible.

  Creepiness - H. P. Lovecraft  
   
  Lovecraft Short Stories 
   
  H.P. Lovecraft, also known as Howard Phillips Lovecraft, was an American writer who excelled in horror, fantasy, poetry, and science fiction, particularly in the subgenre of weird fiction. He is widely considered as the leading authority on frightening, eerie, and unsettling stories. This list features seven tales by Lovecraft, showcasing his writing prowess across his entire career - from works written when he was a young teenager to others that were only published posthumously. These stories are unique in their own way, but all stem from the same imaginative mind that gave us the "Cult of Cthulhu" and other memorable, strange works that have captivated generations with their ability to tap into our innermost fears. Some of these tales delve into the depths of the human psyche, while others delve into the depths of human depravity and terror.

  Jack London (born John Griffith Chaney, January 12, 1876 - November 22, 1916) was an American author, journalist, and social activist. He was a pioneer in the then-burgeoning world of commercial magazine fiction and was one of the first fiction writers to obtain worldwide celebrity and a large fortune from his fiction alone.
  THE UNEXPECTED: It is a simple matter to see the obvious, to do the expected. The tendency of the individual life is to be static rather than dynamic, and this tendency is made into a propulsion by civilization, where the obvious only is seen, and the unexpected rarely happens.

  The Telegram

  Konstantin Paustovsky was a Russian writer nominated for the Nobel Prize for literature in 1965, 1966,1967,1968.
  Paustovsky began writing while still in Gymnasium. His first works were imitative poetry but he restricted his writing to prose after Ivan Bunin wrote in a letter to him: "I think that your sphere, your real poetry, is prose. It is here, if you are determined enough, that I am sure you can achieve something significant."
  Paustovsky's prose, steeped in nostalgia and quiet sorrow, reaches its finest expression in The Telegram—a story of distance, both physical and emotional, and the irreversible weight of unsaid words.
  The Telegram is not merely a story; it is a whisper across time, a plea too late, a love unspoken until the silence swallows it whole. In Paustovsky's world, distance is more than geography—it is the fragile thread between duty and regret, between those who leave and those who wait. The past lingers in unmailed letters, in the hush of an empty house, in the shadow of a mother's gaze.
  His words do not shout—they murmur, they breathe, they break the heart with a tenderness that lingers long after the final sentence.

  The Great Gatsby

  "So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past."
  
  A timeless classic, The Great Gatsby explores themes of wealth, class, and the corruption that lies beneath the golden surface of the American Dream.
  
  Narrated by the introspective Nick Carraway, the story follows the enigmatic Jay Gatsby—a self-made millionaire obsessed with reuniting with his former lover—whose lavish parties mask a yearning for the past and a dream that refuses to die. As the summer unfolds in Long Island's West Egg, Fitzgerald paints a portrait of a society chasing pleasure while teetering on the edge of moral collapse and warns of the dangers of sacrificing our lives in service of a dream and the cost of dehumanising both ourselves and those around us.
  F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940) is widely regarded as one of the greatest American authors of the 20th century. Best known for capturing the spirit of the Jazz Age, his lyrical prose and sharp social commentary made him one of the defining voices of his generation, but despite early success, he struggled with personal and financial difficulties throughout his life and died aged 44, leaving behind a legacy that has widely influenced generations of writers.
