Hard Times
Unusually for Dickens, Hard Times is set, not in London, but in the imaginary mid-Victorian Northern industrial town of Coketown with its blackened factories, downtrodden workers and polluted environment. This is the soulless domain of the striet utihuarism Thomas Gradigrind and the heartless factory qwner Josiah Bounderby. However, human joy is not excluded thanks to Mr Sleary's Horse-Riding c…

The Biography of J.R.R TOLKIEN: architect of middle-earth
J. R. R. Tolkien is one of the most beloved and enigmatic writers of the twentieth century, yet surprisingly little is known about the personal life of the author of The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings.

America’s foremost younger philosopher describes in popular terms how modern philosophy copes with some of the major problems of today. In these pages he explores the main roads to self-knowledge, and the correlation of the individual with society. Not one to rely on mere airy speculation, Dr. Morris polled mo…

Symposium and the Death of Socrates
In Symposium, a group of Athenian aristocrats attend a party and talk about love, until the drunken Alcibiades bursts in and decides to discuss Socrates instead. Symposium gives an unsurpassed picture of the sparkling society that was Athens at the height of her empire. The setting of the other dialogues is more sombre.

The Opposing Self: Nine Essays in Criticism
This book marks the height of Mr. Trilling's mature and distinguished powers. He is able to make connections between apparently unconnected poles that set off lively sparks in the delighted reader's mind.

Anthem
He lived in the dark ages of the future. In a loveless world he dared to love the woman of his choice. In an age that had lost all trace of science and civilization he had the courage to seek and find knowledge. But these were not the crimes for which he would be hunted. He was marked for death because he had committed the unpardonable sin: he had stood forth from the mindless human herd. He wa…

Northanger Abbey
Yes, these were characteristics sounds; they brought to her recollection a countless variety of dreadful situastions and horrid scenes, which such buildings had witnessed, and such storms ushered inl and most heartily did she rejoice in the happier circumstances attending her entrance within walls so solemn! She had nothing to dread from midnight assassins or drunker gallants.
