Henrietta Dorothy Huskisson was born in January 1851 in Gillingham, Kent. Little reliable information on her life is available and almost nothing on her early life. The first concrete information concerns her marriage at age 18 to the solicitor Isaac Edward Everett. It was only at the age of 44 that she began her literary career under the pseudonym of Theo Douglas, a popular device in a society that still frowned upon women writing for income. During her lifetime she was a popular author and wrote 22 books and those were published by 17 different publishers. Although she wrote some historical novels her main output was centered on fantasy and supernatural themes. Henrietta Dorothy Everett died in Weston-on-Trent in Derbyshire in September 1923.Ver livro

Notes from Underground also translated as Notes from the Underground or Letters from the Underworld) is a novella by Fyodor Dostoevsky, first published in the journal Epoch in 1864. It is a first-person narrative in the form of a "confession": the work was originally announced by Dostoevsky in Epoch under the title "A Confession".The novella presents itself as an excerpt from the memoirs of a bitter, isolated, unnamed narrator (generally referred to by critics as the Underground Man), who is a retired civil servant living in St. Petersburg. Although the first part of the novella has the form of a monologue, the narrator's form of address to his reader is acutely dialogized. According to Mikhail Bakhtin, in the Underground Man's confession "there is literally not a single monologically firm, undissociated word". The Underground Man's every word anticipates the words of an other, with whom he enters into an obsessive internal polemic.Ver livro
