When Dmitri Gurov, a man weary of his monotonous life, encounters Anna Sergeyevna and her small dog by the seaside, his world shifts unexpectedly.

  Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (also known as Alice in Wonderland) is an 1865 English children's novel by Lewis Carroll, a mathematics don at the University of Oxford. It details the story of a girl named Alice who falls through a rabbit hole into a fantasy world of anthropomorphic creatures. It is seen as an example of the literary nonsense genre.  
  Plot: 
  Alice, a young girl, sits bored by a riverbank and spots a White Rabbit with a pocket watch and waistcoat lamenting that he is late. Surprised, Alice follows him down a rabbit hole, which sends her into a lengthy plummet but to a safe landing. Inside a room with a table, she finds a key to a tiny door, beyond which is a garden. While pondering how to fit through the door, she discovers a bottle labelled "Drink me". Alice drinks some of the bottle's contents, and to her astonishment, she shrinks small enough to enter the door. However, she had left the key upon the table and cannot reach it. Alice then discovers and eats a cake labelled "Eat me", which causes her to grow to a tremendous size. Unhappy, Alice bursts into tears, and the passing White Rabbit flees in a panic, dropping a fan and two gloves. Alice uses the fan for herself, which causes her to shrink once more and leaves her swimming in a pool of her own tears. Within the pool, Alice meets various animals and birds, who convene on a bank and engage in a "Caucus Race" to dry themselves. Following the end of the race, Alice inadvertently frightens the animals away by discussing her cat...

  Lady Susan - Full Cast Drama

  Jane Austen

  "Lady Susan," a novella by Jane Austen, offers readers a departure from her more well-known novels like "Pride and Prejudice" and "Sense and Sensibility." Written in the form of letters, this epistolary work provides a fascinating glimpse into the life of Lady Susan Vernon, a character who stands apart from Austen's typical heroines. 
   
  The novella's protagonist, Lady Susan, is a cunning and manipulative widow, quite unlike the virtuous heroines that populate Austen's other works. Lady Susan's sharp wit and calculated charm serve as the driving force behind the narrative. Through her letters, we witness her artful maneuvering as she navigates the complexities of society, orchestrates advantageous marriages, and simultaneously manages her own affairs. 
   
  Austen's choice of the epistolary form allows readers to witness the inner workings of Lady Susan's mind as she artfully weaves webs of deception and manipulation. The novella showcases the power of language and rhetoric in social interactions, with Lady Susan employing her mastery of words to control the perceptions of those around her. Her character is both captivating and repulsive, offering a unique exploration of the darker facets of human nature. 
   
  Despite Lady Susan's morally dubious actions, Austen manages to infuse the novella with her trademark wit and humor. The characters surrounding Lady Susan, from her confidante Alicia Johnson to her would-be son-in-law Reginald De Courcy, serve as foils to her cunning, allowing for moments of comedic tension and irony. 
   
  "Lady Susan" is a shorter work compared to Austen's full-length novels, but it remains a testament to her ability to craft engaging characters and intricate social dynamics. In this novella, Austen provides a window into a world of manipulation, ambition, and social stratagems, all while maintaining her distinctive style and narrative prowess.
