Summary

In the shadowy streets of Victorian London, Dr. Henry Jekyll, a respected scientist and physician, struggles with a dark secret: the belief that within every human being coexist two opposing natures. Desperate to unleash his wilder, darker side, Jekyll creates a potion that allows him to transform into Edward Hyde, a ruthless and unscrupulous being.

As Hyde commits horrific crimes, Jekyll becomes trapped in an internal battle between his conscience and the monster he has unleashed. The duality of his being threatens to destroy him, and the line between the two characters begins to blur. Can Jekyll control his creation, or will Hyde prevail forever?

    Howard's End is about three families in England at the beginning of the twentieth century. The three families represent different gradations of the Edwardian middle class: the Wilcoxes, who are rich capitalists with a fortune made in the Colonies; the half-German Schlegel siblings (Margaret, Tibby, and Helen), who represent the intellectual bourgeoisie and have a lot in common with the real-life Bloomsbury Group; and the Basts, a couple who are struggling members of the lower-middle class. The Schlegel sisters try to help the poor Basts and try to make the Wilcoxes less prejudiced.

    Herbert George Wells (21 September 1866 - 13 August 1946) was an English writer. Prolific in many genres, he wrote dozens of novels, short stories, and works of social commentary, history, satire, biography and autobiography. His work also included two books on recreational war games. Wells is now best remembered for his science fiction novels and is often called the "father of science fiction", along with Jules Verne and the publisher Hugo Gernsback.
THE TEMPTATION OF HARRINGAY: It is quite impossible to say whether this thing really happened. It depends entirely on the word of R.M. Harringay, who is an artist.

    Herman Melville 3 Complete Works...

    Herman Melville, born in 1819 in New York City, led a life filled with adventure, literary exploration, and contemplation. His early experiences as a sailor aboard whaling ships provided the inspiration for his most famous work, "Moby-Dick," a literary masterpiece that would later secure his place in literary history. Melville's writings delve into profound themes such as obsession, the human condition, morality, and the conflict between man and nature. 
 
While Melville's works did not achieve commercial success during his lifetime, his legacy grew in the years following his death in 1891. The publication of "Moby-Dick" in 1851 was met with mixed reviews, but the novel's exploration of existential themes and its rich symbolism garnered appreciation and recognition from later generations of readers and scholars. Today, Melville is considered one of the greatest American writers, with "Moby-Dick" hailed as a monumental achievement in American literature. 
 
Melville's writings often reflect his own personal struggles and the tumultuous historical context of his time. His novella "Billy Budd, Sailor" explores themes of justice, innocence, and the corrupting influence of authority, drawing parallels to the social and political conflicts of the mid-19th century. His early novels, such as "Typee" and "Omoo," were based on his real-life experiences as a sailor in the South Seas, highlighting the clash between Western civilization and the indigenous cultures he encountered. 
 
Herman Melville's life and writings continue to resonate with readers, inviting them into a world of adventure, philosophy, and introspection. His works inspire deep reflection on the human condition and the mysteries of existence. Melville's legacy as a literary pioneer, exploring the depths of the human psyche and confronting existential questions, remains enduring.

    A foundling of mysterious parentage brought up by Mr. Allworthy on his country estate, Tom Jones is deeply in love with the seemingly unattainable Sophia Western, the beautiful daughter of the neighboring squire though he sometimes succumbs to the charms of the local girls. When Tom is banished to make his own fortune and Sophia follows him to London to escape an arranged marriage, the adventure begins. A vivid Hogarthian panorama of eighteenth-century life, spiced with danger and intrigue, bawdy exuberance and good-natured authorial interjections, Tom Jones is one of the greatest and most ambitious comic novels in English literature.
BOOK 18: We are now, reader, arrived at the last stage of our long journey. As we have, therefore, travelled together through so many pages, let us behave to one another like fellow-travellers in a stage coach, who have passed several days in the company of each other; and who, notwithstanding any bickerings or little animosities which may have occurred on the road, generally make all up at last, and mount, for the last time, into their vehicle with chearfulness and good humour; since after this one stage, it may possibly happen to us, as it commonly happens to them, never to meet more.
