Description wiki: is a 1924 novel by English author E. M. Forster set against the backdrop of the British Raj and the Indian independence movement in the 1920s. It was selected as one of the 100 great works of 20th century English literature by the Modern Library[1] and won the 1924 James Tait Black Memorial Prize for fiction.[2] Time magazine included the novel in its “All Time 100 Novels” list.[3] The novel is based on Forsters experiences in India, deriving the title from Walt Whitmans 1870 poem “Passage to India” in Leaves of Grass.[4][5] The story revolves around four characters: Dr. Aziz, his British friend Mr. Cyril Fielding, Mrs. Moore, and Miss Adela Quested. During a trip to the fictitious Marabar Caves (modeled on the Barabar Caves of Bihar),[6] Adela thinks she finds herself alone with Dr. Aziz in one of the caves (when in fact he is in an entirely different cave), and subsequently panics and flees; it is assumed that Dr. Aziz has attempted to assault her. Azizs trial, and its run-up and aftermath, bring to a boil the common racial tensions and prejudices between Indians and the British during the colonial era.

Description Good Reads: When Adela Quested and her elderly companion Mrs Moore arrive in the Indian town of Chandrapore, they quickly feel trapped by its insular and prejudiced Anglo-Indian community. Determined to escape the parochial English enclave and explore the real India, they seek the guidance of the charming and mercurial Dr Aziz, a cultivated Indian Muslim. But a mysterious incident occurs while they are exploring the Marabar caves with Aziz, and the well-respected doctor soon finds himself at the centre of a scandal that rouses violent passions among both the British and their Indian subjects. A masterful portrait of a society in the grip of imperialism, A Passage to India compellingly depicts the fate of individuals caught between the great political and cultural conflicts of the modern world. In his introduction, Pankaj Mishra outlines Forsters complex engagement with Indian society and culture. This edition reproduces the Abinger text and notes, and also includes four of Forsters essays on India, a chronology and further reading

Description wiki: (Norwegian pronunciation: [?h??d?? ?????bl?r]) is a play written by Norwegian playwright Henrik Ibsen that dramatizes the experiences of the title character, Hedda, the daughter of a general, who is trapped in a marriage and a house that she does not want. The world premiere was staged on 31 January 1891 at the Residenztheater in Munich. The play has been canonized as a masterpiece within the genres of literary realism, nineteenth century theatre, and world drama.[1][2][3] Ibsen mainly wrote realistic plays until his forays into modern drama. Overall, the title character for Hedda Gabler is considered one of the great dramatic roles in theater.[4] The year following its publication, the play received negative feedback and reviews. Hedda Gabler has been described as a female variation of Hamlet.

Description Good Reads: Taken from the highly acclaimed Oxford Ibsen, this collection of Ibsens plays includes A Dolls House, Ghosts, Hedda Gabler and The Master Builder.

Description Penquin: One of the most renowned playwrights of all time, Norwegian-born Henrik Ibsen was an influential figure in the development of realist theater. Hedda Gabler, arguably Ibsen s greatest work, is a tumultuous and sweeping play about a woman contending with her own dissatisfaction at the turn of the nineteenth century. Considered by many critics a heroine as complex and tragic so as to rival Hamlet, Hedda finds her life in disarray after the sudden appearance of her husband s rival her former lover, Eilert and, consumed by jealousy toward Eilert s new paramour, triggers the chain of events that will lead to the play s ultimate, shocking conclusion. The Wild Duck, The Lady from the Sea, and Rosmersholm, though lesser known, are no less provocative or brimming with psychological complexity; together, these four plays serve as timeless explorations of identity, society, power, and freedom.

Description wiki: This article is about the play by George Bernard Shaw. For other uses, see Arms and the Man (disambiguation). Arms and the Man G Bernard Shaw.jpg Shaw at the time of the production of Arms and the Man Written by George Bernard Shaw Characters Raina Petkoff Sergius Saranoff Captain Bluntschli Catherine Petkoff Major Paul Petkoff Louka Nicola[1][2] Date premiered 21 April 1894 Place premiered Avenue Theatre Subject Love and war[3][4] Arms and the Man is a comedy by George Bernard Shaw, whose title comes from the opening words of Virgils Aeneid, in Latin: Arma virumque cano (“Of arms and the man I sing”).[5] The play was first produced on 21 April 1894 at the Avenue Theatre and published in 1898 as part of Shaws Plays Pleasant volume, which also included Candida, You Never Can Tell, and The Man of Destiny. Arms and the Man was one of Shaws first commercial successes. He was called onto stage after the curtain, where he received enthusiastic applause. Amidst the cheers, one audience member booed. Shaw replied, in characteristic fashion, “My dear fellow, I quite agree with you, but what are we two against so many?”[6] Arms and the Man is a humorous play that shows the futility of war and deals comedically with the hypocrisies of human nature

Description Good Reads: Arms and the Man is a comedy written by George Bernard Shaw, and was first produced in 1894 and published in 1898, and has become one of the most popular plays of George Bernard Shaw. Like his other works, Arms and the Man questions conventional values and uses war and love as his satirical targets. This edition of Arms and the Man is in the form of a paperback book.

Description Penquin: Raina, a young woman with romantic notions of war and an idealized view of her soldier fianc , is surprised one night by a Swiss mercenary soldier seeking refuge in her bedchamber. The pragmatic Captain Bluntschli proceeds to puncture all of Raina s illusions about love, heroism, and class. In a second duel of sex, Louka, Raina s maid, uses her wiles in her attempt to gain power. Optimistic, farcical, absurd, and teeming with sexual energy, Arms and the Man has Shaw inverting the devices of melodrama to glorious effect. This is the definitive text prepared under the editorial supervision of Dan H. Laurence. The volume includes Shaw s preface of 1898.

Description wiki: The Marriage of Heaven and Hell is a book by the English poet and printmaker William Blake. It is a series of texts written in imitation of biblical prophecy but expressing Blakes own intensely personal Romantic and revolutionary beliefs. Like his other books, it was published as printed sheets from etched plates containing prose, poetry and illustrations. The plates were then coloured by Blake and his wife Catherine. It opens with an introduction of a short poem “Rintrah roars and shakes his fires in the burdend air”. William Blake claims that John Milton was a true poet and his epic poem Paradise Lost was “of the Devils party without knowing it.” He also claims that Miltons Satan was truly his Messiah.[citation needed] The work was composed between 1790 and 1793, in the period of radical ferment and political conflict during the French Revolution. The title is an ironic reference to Emanuel Swedenborgs theological work Heaven and Hell, published in Latin 33 years earlier. Swedenborg is directly cited and criticized by Blake in several places in the Marriage. Though Blake was influenced by his grand and mystical cosmic conception, Swedenborgs conventional moral strictures and his Manichaean view of good and evil led Blake to express a deliberately depolarized and unified vision of the cosmos in which the material world and physical desire are equally part of the divine order; hence, a marriage of heaven and hell. The book is written in prose, except for the opening “Argument” and the “Song of Liberty”. The book describes the poets visit to Hell, a device adopted by Blake from Dantes Divine Comedy and

Description Good Reads: Once regarded as a brilliant eccentric whose works skirted the outer fringes of English art and literature, William Blake (1757 1827) is today recognized as a major poet, a profound thinker, and one of the most original and exciting English artists. Nowhere is his glorious poetic and pictorial legacy more evident than in The Marriage of Heaven and Hell, which many consider his most inspired and original work. The Marriage of Heaven and Hell is both a humorous satire on religion and morality and a work that concisely expresses Blakes essential wisdom and philosophy, much of it revealed in the 70 aphorisms of his “Proverbs of Hell.” This beautiful edition, reproduced from a rare facsimile, invites readers to enjoy the rich character of Blakes own hand-printed text along with his deeply stirring illustrations, reproduced on 27 full-color plates. A typeset transcription of the text is included.

Description wiki: (483 375 BC)[2] was an ancient Greek sophist, pre-Socratic philosopher, and rhetorician who was a native of Leontinoi in Sicily. Along with Protagoras, he forms the first generation of Sophists. Several doxographers report that he was a pupil of Empedocles, although he would only have been a few years younger. “Like other Sophists, he was an itinerant that practiced in various cities and giving public exhibitions of his skill at the great pan-Hellenic centers of Olympia and Delphi, and charged fees for his instruction and performances. A special feature of his displays was to ask miscellaneous questions from the audience and give impromptu replies.”[3] He has been called “Gorgias the Nihilist” although the degree to which this epithet adequately describes his philosophy is controversial.[4][5][6][7] His chief claim to recognition is that he transplanted rhetoric from his native Sicily to Attica, and contributed to the diffusion of the Attic dialect as the language of literary prose.

Description Good Reads: Gorgias is a Socratic dialogue written by Plato around 380 BC. In this dialogue, Socrates seeks the true definition of rhetoric, attempting to pinpoint the essence of rhetoric and unveil the flaws of the sophistic oratory popular in Athens at this time. The art of persuasion was widely considered necessary for political and legal advantage in classical Athens, and rhetoricians promoted themselves as teachers of this fundamental skill. Some, like Gorgias, were foreigners attracted to Athens because of its reputation for intellectual and cultural sophistication. In the Gorgias, Socrates argues that philosophy is an art, whereas rhetoric is merely a knack. To Socrates, most rhetoric in practice is merely flattery. In order to use rhetoric for good, rhetoric cannot exist alone; it must depend on philosophy to guide its morality. Socrates, therefore, believes that morality is not inherent in rhetoric and that without philosophy, rhetoric is simply used to persuade for personal gain. Socrates suggests that he is one of the few (but not only) Athenians to practice true politics (521d). This book was converted from its physical edition to the digital format by a community of volunteers. You may find it for free on the web.

Description Penquin: Taking the form of a dialogue between Socrates, Gorgias, Polus and Callicles, Gorgias debates perennial questions about the nature of government and those who aspire to public office. Are high moral standards essential or should we give our preference to the pragmatist who gets things done or negotiates successfully? Should individuals be motivated by a desire for personal power and prestige, or genuine concern for the moral betterment of the citizens? These questions go to the heart of Athenian democratic principles and are more relevant than ever in today s political climate.

Description wiki: Carnacki the Ghost-Finder is a collection of occult detective short stories by English writer William Hope Hodgson, featuring the titular protagonist. It was first published in 1913 by the English publisher Eveleigh Nash. In 1947, a new edition of 3,050 copies was published by Mycroft & Moran and included three additional stories (the last three listed below). In 1951 Ellery Queen covered the Mycroft & Moran version as No. 53 in Queens Quorum: A History of the Detective-Crime Short Story As Revealed by the 100 Most Important Books Published in this Field Since 1845.[2] For several decades subsequent to the Mycroft and Moran edition, Carnacki collections routinely if not always contained all nine stories. Project Gutenberg Ebook #10832 (2004) contains only the first six stories, however, and arranges them in sequence of their 1910 and 1912 magazine publication. Some other publications follow Project Gutenberg, perhaps using its text.

Description wiki: The Ghost Pirates is a horror novel by English writer William Hope Hodgson, first published in 1909. In it, Hodgson never describes in any remarkable details the ghosts if this is indeed what they are, since their true nature is left ambiguous he merely reports on their gradual commandeering of the ship.

Description Good Reads: The Ghost Pirates . . . is a powerful account of a doomed and haunted ship on its last voyage, and of the terrible sea-devils (of quasi-human aspect, and perhaps the spirits of bygone buccaneers) that besiege it and finally drag it down to an unknown fate. With its command of maritime knowledge, and its clever selection of hints and incidents suggestive of latent horrors in nature, this book at times reaches enviable peaks of power.” — H.P. Lovecraft

Description Good Reads: Arthur Machen was a leading Welsh author of the 1890s. He is best known for his influential supernatural, fantasy, and horror fiction. His long story The Great God Pan made him famous and controversial in his lifetime, but The Hill of Dreams is generally considered his masterpiece. He also is well known for his leading role in creating the legend of the Angels of Mons. At the age of eleven, Machen boarded at Hereford Cathedral School, where he received an excellent classical education. Family poverty ruled out attendance at university, and Machen was sent to London, where he sat exams to attend medical school but failed to get in. Machen, however, showed literary promise, publishing in 1881 a long poem “Eleusinia” on the subject of the Eleusinian Mysteries. Returning to London, he lived in relative poverty, attempting to work as a journalist, as a publishers clerk, and as a childrens tutor while writing in the evening and going on long rambling walks across London.

Description Penquin: n/a

Additional Research: Review from GR: While this is not a collection of thrilling or fascinating studies in the macabre, Machens subtle examination of his time and place as they co-existed within the realm of fantasy he fashioned around it certainly makes for interesting reading. While each story in a way decries mans growing fascination with science and psychiatry, they mostly turn out pretty badly for those that pursue the lost connection with the ancient forces from which the horror stuff is spun out of. In the first story a man slowly comes to realize that modern life is a pitiable life indeed and searches out lost and secret places in turn of the century London. The second story (and the best) begins with some philosophical ruminations on the nature of pure good and evil and how modern man fails at every turn to grasp their true meaning before switching to a tale told via a journal by a young girl learning witchcraft from her nurse who may be a fae creature. The third story tells of an experiment that brings into this world via unnatural birth a force that compels men to suicidal madness, and the last mirrors the previous closely, but with a bit more hubris thrown in for good measure. Overall this is not an out and out spook fest nor does it really go too heavily into the whole cosmic horror aspect that later authors would elaborate upon. I recommend this only if you are well acquainted with modern/weird horror in general and want to read something a little droll but still plenty fascinating for its era. WIKI synopsis: A discussion between two men on the nature of evil leads one of them to reveal a mysterious Green Book he possesses. It is a young girls diary, in which she describes in ingenuous, evocative prose her strange impressions of the countryside in which she lives as well as conversations with her nurse, who initiates her into a secret world of folklore and black magic. Throughout, the girl makes cryptic allusions to such topics as “nymphs”, “D ls”, “voolas,” “white, green, and scarlet ceremonies”, “Aklo letters”, the “Xu” and “Chian” languages, “Mao games”, and a game called “Troy Town” (the last of which is a reference to actual practices involving labyrinths or labyrinthine dances[1]). The girls tale gradually develops a mounting atmosphere of suspense, with suggestions of witchcraft, only to break off abruptly just at the point where a supreme revelation seems imminent. In a return to the frame story, the diarys custodian reveals that the girls body was later found dead near a seemingly pagan statue in the woods. He adds that she had “poisoned herself in time”, making the analogy of a child finding the key to a locked medicine cabinet

Description Good Reads: In my childhood the shunned house was vacant, with barren, gnarled and terrible old trees, long, queerly pale grass and nightmarishly misshapen weeds in the high terraced yard where birds never lingered. We boys used to overrun the place, and I can still recall my youthful terror not only at the morbid strangeness of this sinister vegetation, but at the eldritch atmosphere and odor of the dilapidated house, whose unlocked front door was often entered in quest of shudders.

Description Original: “The Dunwich Horror” is a horror novella by American writer H. P. Lovecraft. It is considered one of the core stories of the Cthulhu Mythos. The Cthulhu Mythos is a myth creation and a shared fictional universe of horror writers, originating from this novel. In the isolated, desolate, decrepit village of Dunwich, Massachusetts, Wilbur Whateley is the hideous son of Lavinia Whateley, a deformed and unstable albino mother, and an unknown father. Strange events surround his birth and precocious development. Wilbur matures at an abnormal rate, reaching manhood within a decade. Locals shun him and his family, and animals fear and despise him due to an unnatural, inhuman odor emanating from his body. All the while, his grandfather, a sorcerer, indoctrinates him into certain dark rituals and the study of witchcraft. Various locals grow suspicious after Old Whateley buys more and more cattle, yet the number of his herd never increases, and the cattle in his field become mysteriously afflicted with severe open wounds. I think it is beyond doubt that H. P. Lovecraft has yet to be surpassed as the twentieth century s greatest practitioner of the classic horror tale. Stephen King

Description wiki: The Lair of the White Worm is a horror novel by the Irish writer Bram Stoker. It was first published by Rider and Son of London in 1911[1][2] the year before Stokers death with colour illustrations by Pamela Colman Smith. The story is based on the legend of the Lambton Worm. It has also been issued as The Garden of Evil. In 1925 a highly abridged and rewritten form was published by Foulsham.[3] It was shortened by more than 100 pages, the rewritten book having only 28 chapters instead of the original 40. The final eleven chapters were cut down to only five, leading some critics to complain that the ending was abrupt and inconsistent.[4] The book is majorly considered one of the worst books ever written.

Description Good Reads: In a tale of ancient evil, Bram Stoker creates a world of lurking horrors and bizarre denizens: a demented mesmerist, hellbent on mentally crushing the girl he loves; a gigantic kite raised to rid the land of an unnatural infestation of birds, and which receives strange commands along its string; and all the while, the great white worm slithers below, seeking its next victim… Bram Stoker, creator of Dracula, is one of the most enduring and masterful influences on the literature of terror.

Description wiki: The book is an epistolary novel, narrated in the first person via letters and diary extracts from various characters, but mainly Rupert. The initial sections, leading up to the reading of the uncles will, told by other characters, suggest that Rupert is the black sheep of the family, and the conditions of having to live in the castle in the Blue Mountains for a year before he can permanently inherit the unexpectedly large million-pound estate suggest the uncle is somehow testing the heir.

Description Good Reads: 1909. Bram Stoker wrote numerous novels, short stories, essays, and lectures, but Dracula is by far his most famous work. Stoker coined the term undead, and his interpretation of vampire folklore continues to this day to shape the portrayals of legendary monsters. Contents: From The Journal of Occultism; The Will of Roger Melton; Vissarion; The Coming of the Lady; Under the Flagstaff; A Ritual at Midnight; The Pursuit in the Forest; The Empire of the Air; The Flashing of the Handjar; and Balka.

In addition to this derogatory connotation, it may serve as a term of respect and praise. The phrase “the Man is keeping me down” is commonly used to describe oppression. The phrase “stick it to the Man” encourages resistance to authority, and essentially means “fight back” or “resist”, either passively, openly or via sabo

Amazon Review: Adventures come to the adventurous, and mysterious things fall in the way of those who, with wonder and imagination, are on the watch for them; but the majority of people go past the doors that are half ajar, thinking them closed, and fail to notice the faint stirrings of the great curtain that hangs ever in the form of appearances between them and the world of causes behind. For only to the few whose inner senses have been quickened, perchance by some strange suffering in the depths, or by a natural temperament bequeathed from a remote past, comes the knowledge, not too welcome, that this greater world lies ever at their elbow, and that any moment a chance combination of moods and forces may invite them to cross the shifting frontier. Some, however, are born with this awful certainty in their hearts, and are called to no apprenticeship, and to this select company Jones undoubtedly belonged

Description Good Reads: And instinctively, once alone, I made for the places where she had painted her extraordinary pictures; I tried to see what she had seen. Perhaps, now that she had opened my mind to another view, I should be sensitive to some similar interpretation–and possibly by way of literary expression. If I were to write about the place, I asked myself, how should I treat it? I deliberately invited an interpretation in the way that came easiest to me–writing.

Description wiki: The House of the Vampire…is one of the first psychic vampire stories where a vampire feeds off more than just blood.

Description Good Reads: One of the first psychic vampire novels of its time – where the vampire feeds off of more than just blood – The House of the Vampire is an early classic in its genre. Republished in this new edition, this Victorian novel operates in the continuum of life and death. What has been can be again, though often terribly transformed. Energetically inventive and infused with a relish for the supernatural, especially the trappings of the dark, The House of the Vampire delivers a horror which we know does not – but none the less conceivably might – exist and threaten ourselves. Blurring the lines between fact and fiction, The House of the Vampire is considered a classic among Victorian Gothic stories.

Description wiki: NOTE I have pleasure in acknowledging the courtesy of the proprietors of “Shureys Publications” by whose permission “The Cigarette Case” is included in the present volume. Also it has been suggested that a definition should be given of the word that forms the volumes title. That word means “contrary to the course of the Sun.”

Description Good Reads: A collection of eight marvellous stories of the supernatural. The stories are: The Beckoning Fair One, Phantas, Rooum, Benlian, Io, The Accident, The Cigarette Case, & Hic Jacket. Excerpt: …off!” he ordered me. “Ill send for you again when I want you!” He thrust me out. “An asylum, Mr. Benlian,” I thought as I crossed the yard, “is the place for you!” You see, I didnt know him then, and that he wasnt to be judged as an ordinary man is. Just you wait till you see…. And straight away, I found myself vowing that Id have nothing more to do with him. I found myself resolving that, as if I were making up my mind not to smoke or drink-and (I dont know why) with a similar sense that I was depriving myself of something. But, somehow, I forgot, and within a month hed been in several times to see me, and once or twice had fetched me in to see his statue. In two months I was in an extraordinary state of mind about him. I was familiar with him in a way, but at the same time I didnt know one scrap more about him. Because Im a fool (oh, yes, I know quite well, now, what I am) youll think Im talking folly if I even begin to tell you what sort of a man he was. I dont mean just his knowledge (though I think he knew everything-sciences, languages, and all that) for it was far more than that. Somehow, when he was there, he had me all restless and uneasy; and when he wasnt there I was (theres only the one word for it) jealous-as jealous as if hed been a girl! Even yet I cant make it out…. And he knew how unsettled hed got me; and Ill tell you how I found that out. Straight out one night, when he was sitting up in my place, he asked me: “Do you like me, Pudgie?” (I forgot to say that Id told him they used to call me Pudgie at home, because I was little and fat; it was odd, the number of things I told him that I wouldnt have told anybody else.) “Do you like me, Pudgie?” he said. As for my answer, I dont know how it spurted out. I was much more surprised than he was, for I really didnt intend it. It was for all the world as if somebody else was talking with my mouth. “I loathe and adore you!” it came; and then I looked round,…
