Synopsis

In "True Riches; Or, Wealth Without Wings," T. S. Arthur explores the intricate dynamics between material wealth and spiritual enrichment. Set against the backdrop of 19th-century America, Arthur employs a didactic literary style, weaving together rich narrative detail and moral lessons that encourage readers to reconsider the concept of true wealth. The book examines the lives of its characters, revealing their struggles and values while advocating for a life guided by virtue over mere financial gain. The narrative, ripe with allegorical significance, illustrates how one can achieve genuine fulfillment through integrity and meaningful relationships, rather than chasing ephemeral riches. T. S. Arthur, a prominent figure of the American literary scene in the mid-19th century, was known for his advocacy of social reforms through literature. His background as a writer for periodicals and his involvement in the temperance movement greatly influenced his thematic emphasis on morality and personal virtue. Arthur's insights into the societal pressures of wealth during this transformative era reflect his own views on the pitfalls of materialism, making this work a critical commentary on the values of his time. "True Riches" serves as a profound reminder of the enduring significance of moral character in an increasingly consumer-driven world. Readers seeking a thoughtful exploration of wealth's true nature will find Arthur's reflections both pertinent and enlightening, making this book a valuable addition to the canon of American moral literature.

    Robert Louis Balfour Stevenson was a Scottish novelist, poet, and travel writer, and a leading representative of English literature. He was greatly admired by many authors, including Jorge Luis Borges, Ernest Hemingway, Rudyard Kipling and Vladimir Nabokov.
    Virginibus Puerisque: With the single exception of Falstaff, all Shakespeare's characters are what we call marrying men. Mercutio, as he was own cousin to Benedick and Biron, would have come to the same end in the long run. Even Iago had a wife, and, what is far stranger, he was jealous. People like Jacques and the Fool in LEAR, although we can hardly imagine they would ever marry, kept single out of a cynical humour or for a broken heart, and not, as we do nowadays, from a spirit of incredulity and preference for the single state. For that matter, if you turn to George Sand's French version of AS YOU LIKE IT (and I think I can promise you will like it but little), you will find Jacques marries Celia just as Orlando marries Rosalind.

    There is a particular magic in stories that begin with "Once on a time."

In the stories which follow, A.A. Milne, a masterful weaver of whimsy and wit, invites us to share in such magic. 
    Known and beloved for his Winnie-the-Pooh tales, Milne demonstrates in Once Upon a Time that his storytelling extends far beyond the Hundred Acre Wood. With a lightness of touch and a knack for drawing out universal truths from seemingly simple scenarios, Milne captures the hearts of both children and adults. His tales do not merely entertain; they offer gentle insights into human nature, friendship, and the quirks of everyday life. 
    Enjoy the tale of King Merriwig as he goes to battle, leaving his daughter to rule alone in his absence, only to discover she has battles of her own to fight!

    Enter a World Where the Mundane Meets the Macabre.
    
    Nikolai Gogol was the ultimate eccentric of Russian literature, a writer who could find the cosmic absurdity in a missing nose or a provincial bribe. Before the psychological depth of Dostoevsky or the grand epics of Tolstoy, there was Gogol—the man who taught the world how to laugh at the tragedy of the human condition. This collection brings together his complete novels and longer prose works, capturing the transition from the vibrant folklore of the Ukrainian countryside to the haunted, bureaucratic streets of St. Petersburg.
    
    This collection explores the pillars of Gogol's surreal genius:
    
    The Master of the Grotesque: Experience a unique blend of the horrific and the hilarious, where characters are defined by their obsessions, their vanities, and their bizarre physicalities.
    
    The Anatomy of Bureaucracy: Witness the biting satire of the Russian civil service, where the pursuit of rank and "proper" appearance leads to a total loss of the soul.
    
    Laughter Through Tears: Discover the "Gogolian" style—a narrative voice that moves seamlessly from slapstick humor to profound, heart-wrenching pity for the "little man."
    
    Supernatural Realism: Explore the eerie intersection of daily life and the demonic, rooted in the rich soil of Slavic myths and the cold shadows of imperial architecture.
    
    Gogol's influence on the Russian soul is immeasurable, providing the DNA for every great Russian writer who followed. Whether you seek a riotous social comedy or a chilling delve into the uncanny, this volume is an essential cornerstone for any library of world literature and avant-garde classics.
    
    Be careful what you wish for in the fog of St. Petersburg. Buy "The Complete Novels of Nikolai Gogol" today and own the work of a true visionary.
