Sinopse

A Collector's Edition of 47 Storybooks About Inheritance embarks on a literary exploration of a timeless and universally resonant theme: inheritance. This anthology presents a robust tapestry of narrative styles ranging from the whimsical to the introspective. The anthology traverses not only familial legacies but also the broader implications of cultural and intellectual inheritance. Such diverse writings invite readers to contemplate the multifaceted nature of inheritance, both tangible and intangible, making this collection a treasure trove of insights and literary richness. Highlights within the anthology include poignant explorations of duty and legacy interwoven with incisive social commentary. The contributors to this anthology hail from a variety of backgrounds and literary influences, encompassing luminaries of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. These voices, from P. G. Wodehouse's comedic flair to V. Sackville-West’s lyrical introspection, converge into a compelling dialogue that spans across continents and cultures. By bridging historical and modern perspectives, the collection reflects trends from Victorian moral tales to modernist dissections of society. It captures the essence of an evolving world grappling with the eternal question of what it means to inherit something beyond the material. This collection offers readers a rare opportunity to immerse themselves in a dynamic interplay of literary forms and thematic explorations. It is an essential volume for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of inheritance through a literary lens. Readers are invited to engage with this anthology not only for its educational merits but for the rich narrative tapestry it weaves, promising to challenge, inspire, and foster a broader conversation around how inheritance shapes and defines our worlds.

    Nikolai Gogol was one of the first to use the technique of the grotesque. According to Viktor Shklovsky, Gogol's strange style of writing resembles the "ostranenie" technique of defamiliarization. His early works, such as Evenings on a Farm Near Dikanka, were influenced by his Ukrainian upbringing, Ukrainian culture and folklore.

    "The ones who are able to see the high meaning of beauty are cultural people. However, the chosen one is the one who sees only one thing in beauty: the Beauty itself" said one of the most famous English poets, writers, playwrights, a bright and inimitable Oscar Wilde (1854-1900).

Every detail has a symbolic meaning and beauty, along with the good, acts as an inseparable whole. Tales give the most complete picture of Wilde's vivid multifaceted talent; these works are graceful, ghostly poetic "symbolist" tales. They sing the beauty of good deeds, sympathy for the offended and humanity.
