Swann's Way, the first volume, introduces the novel's major themes and its unnamed narrator, an introspective man drawn, in his youth, to fashionable society, like the author himself. Through his narrator's consciousness, Proust offers readers a comprehensive portrait of the high society of Paris from the 1870s through the First World War.Swann's Way begins with the narrator's reminiscences of early childhood including, famously, his evocative memory of eating a pastry called a madeleine and his fascination with what seemed the separate worlds of his family's various neighbors and acquaintances. He then turns his focus to the wealthy connoisseur Charles Swann and his obsessive relationship with the vulgar but radiant courtesan Odette, chronicling in detail the milieu in which it is enacted and its unfortunate effects on him.Du cote de chez Swann first appeared in 1913. It is a bitingly satiric, often comic evocation of French society that addresses a range of philosophical questions about perception, memory, desire, art, family, and politics. On its own or as part of a larger work, it is a rich search for a reality that transcends the passage of time.", "author": "Marcel Proust, C. K.

His reputation was diminished by his preoccupation with metaphysical themes and allegorical techniques in later works; and by the time of his death, his books were long forgotten. Generations later, Melville's readers recognized his work as keenly satirical and rich in elements that prefigured the emergence of existentialism and Freudian psychology.Melville's critical fortunes temporarily rebounded in the early to mid-1850s, with the favorable reception of his contributions to Harper's and Putnam'stwo of the era's leading monthly magazines. This collection features fourteen of his works of short fiction from that periodmost prominently, \"The Encantadas or Enchanted Isles.\" This series of descriptive sketches, a reminiscence from Melville's sailor days, reveals the ecologically pristine Galapagos Islands as both enchanting and horrifying. The other stories showcase the author's mastery of a diverse range of writing styles. \"The Lightning-Rod Man\" demonstrates his deftness at Dickensian comedy, and \"The Piazza\" anticipates his subsequent absorption with poetry. \"The Paradise of Bachelors and the Tartarus of Maids,\" with its incisive contrast of upper-class frivolity with the desperate lives of factory workers, offers a moving portrait of social inequality.

The author's witty and astute observations elevate her tales of parties, gossip, and romance into matters of captivating drama, offering an evocative portrait of everyday life in the towns and countryside of Regency England. Austen's premature death at the age of forty-two curtailed her legacy, and her devotees have eagerly read and re-read her handful of books. This collection features two of her unfinished novels, an often overlooked pair of gems that enrich our appreciation of Austens storytelling gifts.These writings first appeared posthumously, when Austen's nephew included the texts in an 1871 memoir of his celebrated relative. The Watsons unfolds in a familiar domestic milieu, in which a spirited heroine finds her marriage opportunities narrowed by poverty and pride. In contrast, Sanditon ventures into markedly different territory. Set at a seaside resort, among a cast of hypochondriacs and speculators, it suggests that Austen's work might have taken some unexpected new directions.

This autobiographical account chronicles the remarkable odyssey of Harriet Jacobs (18131897) whose dauntless spirit and faith carried her from a life of servitude and degradation in North Carolina to liberty and reunion with her children in the North.Written and published in 1861 after Jacobs' harrowing escape from a vile and predatory master, the memoir delivers a powerful and unflinching portrayal of the abuses and hypocrisy of the master-slave relationship. Jacobs writes frankly of the horrors she suffered as a slave, her eventual escape after several unsuccessful attempts, and her seven years in self-imposed exile, hiding in a coffin-like \"garret\" attached to her grandmother's porch.A rare firsthand account of a courageous woman's determination and endurance, this inspirational story also represents a valuable historical record of the continuing battle for freedom and the preservation of family.", "author": "Harriet Jacobs", "slug": "incidents-in-the-life-of-a-slave-girl-113776-9780486115467-harriet-jacobs", "thumbnail_image": "//redshelf-images.s3-external-1.amazonaws.com/thumbnail/9780486115467.jpg", "default_thumbnail_image": "//redshelf-images.s3-external-1.amazonaws.com/thumbnail/default_book_thumbnail.jpg", "product_type": "book", "product_id": "113776", "product_url": "/app/ecom/book/113776/incidents-in-the-life-of-a-slave-girl-113776-9780486115467-harriet-jacobs", "bisac_codes": [ "LCO002010", "SOC001000" ], "items_count": null, "identifiers": { "ISBN13": "9780486419312", "EISBN13": "9780486115467", "EISBN10": "0486115461" }, "drm": null, "cover_image": null, "default_cover_image": null, "book_type": null }, "relationships": { "lowest_offering": { "data": { "type": "offerings", "id": "00010026191903" } } } }, { "type": "Product", "id": "00010000113775", "attributes": { "name": "Norse Mythology", "subtitle": "Great Stories from the Eddas", "description": "Rooted in an oral tradition, fantastic sagas of Norse mythology found their way into print seven centuries ago, in documents known as the Eddas.

St. Teresa's vision was of a luminous crystal castle composed of seven chambers, or \"mansions,\" each representing a different stage in the development of the soul.In her most important and widely read book, St. Teresa describes how, upon entering the castle through prayer and meditation, the human spirit experiences humility, detachment, suffering, and, ultimately, self-knowledge, as it roams from room to room. As the soul progresses further toward the center of the castle, it comes closer to achieving ineffable and perfect peace, and, finally, a divine communion with God.
