Summary

Wyndham Lewis' novel, Tarr, is a modernist masterpiece that showcases his unique literary style and sharp wit. Set in pre-World War I Paris, the novel follows the eccentric artist Tarr and his interactions with a diverse group of characters. The fragmented narrative and experimental prose reflect the chaotic and boundary-pushing artistic movement of the time, making Tarr a groundbreaking work of literature. Lewis' vivid descriptions and satirical tone add depth to the characters and themes explored in the novel, offering readers a thought-provoking and immersive reading experience. As a multi-talented artist, Wyndham Lewis drew inspiration from his own experiences in the avant-garde art scene of early 20th century Europe. His sharp observations and keen insights into human nature shine through in Tarr, revealing Lewis' deep understanding of the complexities of artistic expression and interpersonal relationships. Through Tarr, Lewis challenges conventional social norms and explores the power dynamics inherent in creative pursuits, cementing his place as a key figure in the modernist literary movement. I highly recommend Tarr to readers interested in modernist literature, avant-garde art, and philosophical explorations of creativity and identity. Wyndham Lewis' unique narrative style and compelling characters make Tarr a captivating and intellectually stimulating read that continues to resonate with audiences today.

    The Collected Works include the most important novellas and short stories of Franz Kafka.Franz Kafka (3 July 1883 - 3 June 1924) was a German-speaking Bohemian Jewish novelist and short-story writer, widely regarded as one of the major figures of 20th-century literature. His work, which fuses elements of realism and the fantastic, typically features isolated protagonists facing bizarre or surrealistic predicaments and incomprehensible socio-bureaucratic powers, and has been interpreted as exploring themes of alienation, existential anxiety, guilt, and absurdity. His best known works include Die Verwandlung (The Metamorphosis), Der Process (The Trial), and Das Schloss (The Castle). The term Kafkaesque has entered the English language to describe situations like those found in his writing.Included in this collection:1. The Metamorphosis (1915)2. A Report for an Academy (1917)3. Up in the Gallery (1919)4. Before the Law (1919)5. In the Penal Colony (1919)6. A Hunger Artist (1922)

    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 10: Reader, it is impossible we should know what sort of person thou wilt be; for, perhaps, thou may'st be as learned in human nature as Shakespear himself was, and, perhaps, thou may'st be no wiser than some of his editors. Now, lest this latter should be the case, we think proper, before we go any farther together, to give thee a few wholesome admonitions; that thou may'st not as grossly misunderstand and misrepresent us, as some of the said editors have misunderstood and misrepresented their author.

As they care for him and react to this news, they come to understand the power of love—past, present, unrequited, and unconditional. Psychologically astute, West’s unforgettable first work of fiction reveals her innate skill at understanding the constructs of class that hamper people’s attempts to connect with one another.

    John Buchan himself stated that he set out to write a book in the style of the ubiquitous American “Dime Novel”. What he actually succeeded in creating was a relatively unique and new genre for British literature, the Spy Novel. Those thrilling elements of the fleeing innocent man hunted through the wilds by sinister and undefined dark forces have been explored countless times in books and on screen ever since.
