A Personal Record (1912) both documents and fictionalizes Joseph Conrad''s early life and the opening stages of his careers as a writer and as a seaman. It is also an artistic and political manifesto. The introduction traces Conrad''s sources and gives the history of writing and reception. The essay on the text and the apparatus set out the textual history. The notes explain literary and historical references, identify places, and gloss foreign terms. Four maps and a genealogical table supplement this explanatory material.

"An Outpost of Progress" is a short story written in July 1897 by Joseph Conrad, drawing on his own experience at Congo.The story deals with two European men, named Kayerts and Carlier, who are assigned to a trading post in a remote part of the African Jungle. There they take part in ivory trading, hoping to financially benefit the company as well as themselves. With no specific tasks or important things to be done, they both become increasingly isolated and demoralized as the time goes by. At one point in the story, the native Makola, serving as Kayerts''s and Carlier''s bookkeeper, initiates an exchange of slaves for ivory. Initially Kayerts and Carlier are stunned and scandalized by the idea, yet eventually they accept the deal and aid Makola for his huge profit. Both men are continuously plagued by diseases and grow very weak physically towards the end of the story. Finally, a seemingly trivial matter – sugar – sparks an irrational, uncontrolled and violent conflict between them, and ends tragically as Kayerts accidentally shoots and kills Carlier. At the end of the story, just when the company steamboat approaches the station two months later than it should have, Kayerts hangs himself out of desperation.

The Duel by Joseph Conrad is Conrad''s brilliantly ironic tale about two officers in Napoleon''s Grand Army who, under a futile pretext, fought an on-going series of duels throughout the Napoleonic Wars. Over decades, on every occasion they chanced to meet, they fought. Both satiric and deeply sad, this masterful tale treats both the futility of war and the absurdity of false honor, war''s necessary accessory.

Emily Elizabeth Dickinson (December 10, 1830 – May 15, 1886) was an American poet. Born in Amherst, Massachusetts, to a successful family with strong community ties, she lived a mostly introverted and reclusive life. After she studied at the Amherst Academy for seven years in her youth, she spent a short time at Mount Holyoke Female Seminary before returning to her family''s house in Amherst. Thought of as an eccentric by the locals, she became known for her penchant for white clothing and her reluctance to greet guests or, later in life, even leave her room. Most of her friendships were therefore carried out by correspondence.In 2016, Terence Davies released A Quiet Passion, a biographical film about the life of Emily Dickinson. The film stars Cynthia Nixon as the reclusive poet. It co-stars Emma Bell as young Dickinson, Jennifer Ehle, Duncan Duff and Keith Carradine.

Meet a jealous donkey, a tortoise who wants to fly, a very special goose and many other animals in this collection of tales, retold especially for children. Aesop''s fables are the perfect way to learn important lessons about life through the adventures of some unforgettable animal friends.For centuries, children and adults have treasured the stories handed down by Aesop, a slave who lived in ancient Greece approximately six centuries B.C. Known for their charm and simplicity, these simple tales feature brief adventures of animals, birds, and beasts — with a message hidden in each narrative. With infamous vignettes, such as the race between the hare and the tortoise, the vain jackdaw, and the wolf in sheep''s clothing, the themes of the fables remain as fresh today as when they were first told and give an insight into the Ancient Greek world.

The Canterbury Tales (Middle English: Tales of Caunterbury) is a collection of 24 stories that runs to over 17,000 lines written in Middle English by Geoffrey Chaucer between 1387–1400. In 1386, Chaucer became Controller of Customs and Justice of Peace and, three years later, Clerk of the King''s work in 1389. It was during these years that Chaucer began working on his most famous text, The Canterbury Tales. The tales (mostly written in verse, although some are in prose) are presented as part of a story-telling contest by a group of pilgrims as they travel together on a journey from London to Canterbury to visit the shrine of Saint Thomas Becket at Canterbury Cathedral. The prize for this contest is a free meal at the Tabard Inn at Southwark on their return.

[THIS KINDLE BOOK QUALITY IS GUARANTEED: It has been carefully edited with a fully interactive content.]Treasure Island is an adventure novel by Scottish author Robert Louis Stevenson, narrating a tale of "buccaneers and buried gold". It was originally serialized in the children''s magazine Young Folks between 1881 through 1882 under the title Treasure Island, or the mutiny of the Hispaniola, credited to the pseudonym "Captain George North". It was first published as a book on 14 November 1883 by Cassell & Co.Treasure Island is traditionally considered a coming-of-age story, and is noted for its atmosphere, characters, and action. It is also noted as a wry commentary on the ambiguity of morality—as seen in Long John Silver—unusual for children''s literature. It is one of the most frequently dramatized of all novels. Its influence is enormous on popular perceptions of pirates, including such elements as treasure maps marked with an "X", schooners, the Black Spot, tropical islands, and one-legged seamen bearing parrots on their shoulders.

Les Rougon-Macquart is the collective title given to a cycle of twenty novels by French writer Émile Zola. Subtitled Histoire naturelle et sociale d''une famille sous le Second Empire (Natural and social history of a family under the Second Empire), it follows the lives of the members of the two titular branches of a fictional family living during the Second French Empire (1852–1870) and is one of the most prominent works of the French naturalism literary movement.CONTENTS:01 - THE FORTUNE OF THE ROUGONS02 - THE KILL03 - THE FAT AND THE THIN04 - THE CONQUEST OF PLASSANS05 - ABBE MOURET''S TRANSGRESSION06 - HIS EXCELLENCY EUGENE ROUGON07 - THE DRAM SHOP08 - A LOVE EPISODE09 - NANA10 - PIPING HOT11 - THE LADIES'' PARADISE12 - THE JOY OF LIFE13 - GERMINAL14 - HIS MASTERPIECE15 - THE EARTH16 - THE DREAM17 - THE HUMAN BEAST18 - MONEY19 - THE DOWNFALL20 - DOCTOR PASCAL

The Human Comedy (French: La Comédie Humaine) is the title of Honoré de Balzac''s multi-volume collection of interlinked novels and stories depicting French society in the period of the Restoration (1815-1830) and the July Monarchy (1830–1848).It consists of 91 finished works (stories, novels or analytical essays) and 46 unfinished works (some of which exist only as titles). It does not include Balzac''s five theatrical plays or his collection of humorous tales, the "Contes drolatiques" (1832–37). The title of the series is usually considered an allusion to Dante''s Divine Comedy; while Ferdinand Brunetière, the famous French literary critic, suggests that it may stem from poems by Alfred de Musset or Alfred de Vigny. While Balzac sought the comprehensive scope of Dante, his title indicates the worldly, human concerns of a realist novelist. The stories are placed in a variety of settings, with characters reappearing in multiple stories.Notable works included in the ''Human Comedy'':- The Purse- Domestic Bliss- The Imaginary Mistress- A Daughter Of Eve- Honorine- Beatrix- Gobseck- A Woman Of Thirty- Old Goriot (Father Goriot)- Colonel Chabert- A Marriage Contract- Another Study Of Woman- Ursule Mirouet- Eugenie Grandet- The Vicar Of Tours- The Illustrious Gaudissart- Cesar Birotteau- Sarrasine- Cousin Bette (Cousin Betty)- The Girl With The Golden Eyes- The Chouans- Z.

It was Brontë''s first novel. Similar to her sister Charlotte''s novel Jane Eyre, this is a novel that addresses what the precarious position of governess entailed and how it affected a young woman.The Irish novelist George Moore praised Agnes Grey as "the most perfect prose narrative in English letters."

The story of a woman who leaves her abusive, dissolute husband, and who must then support herself and her young son. By challenging the prevailing morals of the time the novel caused a critic to pronounce it ''''utterly unfit to be put into the hands of girls''''.

Tome 1 - L''Enfer:Oeuvre fondatrice de la poésie italienne, épopée poétique et métaphysique, ce voyage initiatique menant à la clarté divine, s''ouvre sur la traversée des neuf cercles de l''Enfer, sondant à la fois la symbolique chrétienne et les recoins les plus funestes de l''âme humaine.Tome 2 - Le Purgatoire:Le deuxième tome de cette grande épopée poétique nous fait visiter, après l''Enfer, le Purgatoire. Dante est toujours guidé par la poète latin Virgile, qui représente la Raison, jusqu''au XXXe chant, où il trouve la douce et vertueuse Béatrice qui l''accueille, le juge, pardonne et le conduit au Paradis.Tome 3 - Le Paradis:Le troisième et dernier tome de l''épopée de Dante. Béatrice fait passer Dante au Paradis, qui est construit à l''inverse de l''Enfer (neuf cercles concentriques dirigés vers le haut). Ici on croise de nombreux saints. Chaque cercle correspond en fait à un ciel (ciel de la Lune, de Mercure, de Vénus, etc.) dans lequel sont logés les hommes sans péchés selon leur mérite. À la fin du parcours les apôtres du Christ interrogent Dante, qui répond justement à leurs questions, et passe au dixième ciel ou Empyrée. Là Béatrice le quitte et c''est saint Bernard de Clairvaux qui devient le dernier guide de Dante. Il adresse une prière à la Sainte Vierge et finalement Dante s''éteint complètement en Dieu, l''«Amour qui meut le ciel et les étoiles».
