Book excerpt: Madame Bovary (1856) is considered the French writer Gustave Flaubert’s masterpiece. The story focuses on a doctor’s wife, Emma Bovary, who has adulterous affairs and lives beyond her means. When it was first serialized in “La Rue de Paris”, the novel was attacked for obscenity by public prosecutors. The resulting trial made the story notorious. After Flaubert’s acquittal, Madame Bovary became a bestseller. As a provocative tale of passion and self-delusions, Madame Bovary remains a milestone in European fiction. Madame Bovary has been adapted into several movies, like the 1949 version, directed by Vincente Minelli, and the most recent, directed by Sophie Barthes (2014). See the movie. Read the book. Madame Bovary integrates the collection “Classics of World Literature”, developed by Atlântico Press, a publisher company present in the global editorial market, since 1992.
Download or read book Women in Love Illustrated written by David Herbert Lawrence and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2021-08-24 with total page 646 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Women in Love is a novel by British author D. H. Lawrence published in 1920. It is a sequel to his earlier novel The Rainbow (1915), and follows the continuing loves and lives of the Brangwen sisters, Gudrun and Ursula. Gudrun Brangwen, an artist, pursues a destructive relationship with Gerald Crich, an industrialist. Lawrence contrasts this pair with the love that develops between Ursula and Rupert Birkin, an alienated intellectual who articulates many opinions associated with the author. The emotional relationships thus established are given further depth and tension by an unadmitted homoerotic attraction between Gerald and Rupert. The novel ranges over the whole of British society at the time of the First World War and eventually ends high up in the snows of the Swiss Alps.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Awakening and Selected Short Stories by Kate Chopin is a seminal work of feminist literature that explores the nuances of women's independence, identity, and self-discovery. Published in 1899, the novel chronicles the life of Edna Pontellier, a wife and mother who embarks on a journey of self-exploration, challenging the societal norms and expectations of her time. The novel is set in the Creole society of Grand Isle, Louisiana, where Edna spends her summers with her husband and two children. The story unfolds as Edna begins to question her role as a wife and mother, feeling increasingly suffocated by the societal constraints placed upon her. She develops a strong desire for personal freedom and independence, which leads her to explore her sexuality and artistic passions. Chopin's writing is characterized by its vivid descriptions of the natural world, which often serve as a metaphor for Edna's emotional state. The author also employs a unique narrative style, shifting between third-person omniscient and limited perspectives, allowing the reader to gain a deep understanding of Edna's inner thoughts and feelings. The novel's themes include the exploration of women's sexuality, the role of marriage and motherhood, and the concept of self-discovery. Chopin presents a nuanced and complex portrayal of these themes, challenging the traditional views of her time and offering a progressive perspective on women's rights and independence. "The Awakening" faced significant criticism upon its initial publication due to its controversial themes and frank depiction of female sexuality. However, it has since been recognized as a classic work of feminist literature, influencing countless authors and inspiring generations of readers. The selected short stories in this collection further showcase Chopin's mastery of storytelling and her ability to explore complex themes with sensitivity and nuance. They offer poignant insights into the human condition, exploring themes of freedom, identity, and societal expectations. In conclusion, "The Awakening and Selected Short Stories" by Kate Chopin is a powerful and thought-provoking work of literature that offers a nuanced exploration of women's independence, identity, and self-discovery. Its themes and messages continue to resonate with readers today, making it a timeless classic that is well worth reading and studying.

Book excerpt: SOON TO BE A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE STARRING THE CROWN’S EMMA CORRIN AND UNBROKEN’S JACK O’CONNELL Introduction by Kathryn Harrison Inspired by the long-standing affair between D. H.

Trapped in an unhappy marriage to an aristocratic mine owner whose war wounds have left him paralyzed and impotent, Constance enters into a liaison with the gamekeeper Mellors.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most extraordinary literary works of the twentieth century, Lady Chatterley's Lover was banned in England and the United States after its initial publication in 1928. The unexpurgated edition did not appear in America until 1959, after one of the most spectacular legal battles in publishing history. With her soft brown hair, lithe figure and big, wondering eyes, Constance Chatterley is possessed of a certain vitality. Yet she is deeply unhappy; married to an invalid, she is almost as inwardly paralyzed as her husband Clifford is paralyzed below the waist. It is not until she finds refuge in the arms of Mellors the game-keeper, a solitary man of a class apart, that she feels regenerated. Together they move from an outer world of chaos towards an inner world of fulfillment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lady Chatterley's Lover: Large Printby David Herbert LawrenceLady Chatterley's Lover is a novel by D. H. Lawrence written in 1928.Printed privately in Florence in 1928, it was not printed in the United Kingdom until 1960 (other than in an underground edition issued by Inky Stephensen's Mandrake Press in 1929). Lawrence considered calling this book Tenderness at one time and made significant alterations to the original manuscript in order to make it palatable to readers. It has been published in three different versions.The publication of the book caused a scandal due to its explicit sex scenes, including previously banned four-letter words, and perhaps because the lovers were a working-class male and an aristocratic female.The story is said to have originated from events in Lawrence's own unhappy domestic life, and he took inspiration for the settings of the book from Ilkeston in Derbyshire where he lived for a while. According to some critics the fling of Lady Ottoline Morrell with "Tiger", a young stonemason who came to carve plinths for her garden statues, also influenced the story.
