Beschreibung

Nathaniel Hawthorne's 'The Complete Novels of Nathaniel Hawthorne (Illustrated)' compiles his major works, including 'The Scarlet Letter' and 'The House of the Seven Gables,' revealing Hawthorne's intricate exploration of morality, sin, and the human condition. Written in the early to mid-19th century, his novels are steeped in the transcendentalist and Romantic movements, utilizing rich symbolism and psychological depth to examine the complexities of love, guilt, and societal norms. The illustrated edition adds a visual dimension, enhancing the reader's engagement with Hawthorne's nuanced themes and character studies. Nathaniel Hawthorne, a prominent figure in American literature, was deeply influenced by his Puritan ancestry and the moral dilemmas faced by individuals in a rapidly changing society. His formative experiences, including his solitary upbringing in Salem, Massachusetts, fueled his fascination with darkness, secrecy, and the contradictions of human nature. In addition to his renowned novels, Hawthorne's career encompassed short stories and essays, which collectively reflect his preoccupation with moral ambiguity and the legacy of America's past. This illustrated collection is a must-read for anyone interested in the foundations of American literature and the psychological depth of its characters. Hawthorne's masterful storytelling and profound insights into the human psyche offer timeless reflections, making this work essential for both scholars and casual readers alike.

What did Lazarus see beyond the veil of death?
In this haunting masterpiece of psychological and philosophical fiction, Leonid Andreyev conjures a vision of resurrection unlike any ever imagined. Lazarus is not a tale of triumph over death—but of what death leaves behind.
Strange, unsettling, and metaphysical, this is the story of a man raised from the grave only to cast a cold, unblinking gaze back upon the living. Wherever he walks, beauty withers, joy dissolves, and the veneer of meaning slips away. Those who look into his eyes do not die—they unravel.
Written in a feverish prose that borders on the ecstatic and apocalyptic, Lazarus is a hypnotic meditation on the abyss that separates existence from extinction—and the unspeakable truth that might wait on the other side.
Perfect for listeners drawn to existential horror, metaphysical fiction, or the eerie brilliance of Dostoevsky, Kafka, or Poe.

War and Peace is a literary work mixed with chapters on history and philosophy by the Russian author Leo Tolstoy. It was first published serially, then published in its entirety in 1869. It is regarded as one of Tolstoy's finest literary achievements and remains an internationally praised classic of world literature.
Second Epilogue: History is the life of nations and of humanity. To seize and put into words, to describe directly the life of humanity or even of a single nation, appears impossible. The ancient historians all employed one and the same method to describe and seize the apparently elusive the life of a people. They described the activity of individuals who ruled the people, and regarded the activity of those men as representing the activity of the whole nation.
