  How can six voices tell one human story?
  
  First published in 1931, The Waves by Virginia Woolf is one of the most experimental and ambitious novels of modernist literature. Told through the interwoven inner monologues of six characters from childhood to old age, the novel captures the rhythms of thought, memory, and identity as life unfolds.
  
  Structured around poetic interludes describing the movement of the sun across the sea, the book dissolves traditional plot in favor of lyrical language and psychological depth. Woolf explores individuality and unity, time and change, and the shared experience of being alive.
  
  This novel stands as Woolf's most daring exploration of consciousness, blending poetry and prose into a single, immersive experience.

  Charles Dickens was a writer and social critic who created some of the world's best-known fictional characters and is regarded as the greatest novelist of the Victorian era. His works enjoyed unprecedented popularity during his lifetime, and by the twentieth century critics and scholars had recognised him as a literary genius. His novels and short stories enjoy lasting popularity.
  MEDICINE MEN OF CIVILISATION: My voyages (in paper boats) among savages often yield me matter for reflection at home. It is curious to trace the savage in the civilised man, and to detect the hold of some savage customs on conditions of society rather boastful of being high above them.

  Originally published in 1854, Walden; or, Life in the Woods, is a vivid account of the time that Henry D. Thoreau lived alone in a secluded cabin at Walden Pond. It is one of the most influential and compelling books in American literature. This new paperback edition-introduced by noted American writer John Updike-celebrates the 150th anniversary of this classic work. Much of Walden's material is derived from Thoreau's journals and contains such engaging pieces as "Reading" and "The Pond in the Winter" Other famous sections involve Thoreau's visits with a Canadian woodcutter and with an Irish family, a trip to Concord, and a description of his bean field. This is the complete and authoritative text of Walden-as close to Thoreau's original intention as all available evidence allows. For the student and for the general reader, this is the ideal presentation of Thoreau's great document of social criticism and dissent.
