Book excerpt: From New York Times bestselling author Eliot Schrefer comes an exuberant YA historical coming-of-age novel about a rising star French pianist, navigating his way into high society as he explores his sexuality. Perfect for fans of Last Night at the Telegraph Club and The Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue. They say Léon Delafosse will be France’s next great pianist. But despite his being the youngest student ever accepted into the prestigious Paris Conservatory, there’s no way an impoverished musician can make his way in 1890s Paris without an outside patron. Young gossip columnist Marcel Proust takes Léon under his wing, and the boys game their way through an extravagant new world. When the larger-than-life Count Robert de Montesquiou-Fézensac offers his patronage, Léon’s dreams are made real. But the closer he gets to becoming France’s next great thing, the further he strays from his old country life he shared with his family and his best friend, Félix . . . a boy he might love. With each choice Léon makes, he must navigate a fine line between two worlds—or risk losing them both.

Book excerpt: Now in Penguin Classics Deluxe: a treasure trove of Jane Austen's novels Few novelists have conveyed the subtleties and nuances of their own social milieu with the wit and insight of Jane Austen. Here in one volume are her seven great novels: Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice, Mansfield Park, Emma, Northanger Abbey, Persuasion, and Lady Susan. Through her vivacious and spirited heroines and their circle, Austen vividly portrays English middle-class life as the eighteenth century came to a close and the nineteenth century began. Each of the novels is a love story and a story about marriage—marriage for love, for financial security, for social status. But they are not romances; ironic, comic, and wise, they are masterly evocations of the society Jane Austen observed. This beautiful volume covers the literary career of one of England’s finest prose stylists of any century. • A Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition with French flaps and luxurious packaging • Features the definitive Penguin Classics texts recommended by the Jane Austen Society • New introduction by bestselling author of The Jane Austen Book Club Karen Joy Fowler For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world.

Book excerpt: Fyodor Dostoyevsky's 'White Nights and Other Stories' is a collection of short stories that delves into the complexities of human emotion and the depths of the human soul. Written in the mid-19th century, the book showcases Dostoyevsky's signature literary style characterized by psychological depth and moral dilemmas. Set against the backdrop of St. Petersburg, these stories explore themes of love, loneliness, and existential angst, making them timeless classics of Russian literature. Each story captivates the reader with its vivid characters and thought-provoking narratives. Dostoyevsky's unparalleled ability to delve into the darkest corners of the human psyche shines through in this collection. Fyodor Dostoyevsky, a Russian novelist and philosopher, drew inspiration from his own tumultuous life experiences, including his time in a Siberian prison camp. His profound understanding of human nature is reflected in the complex characters and moral dilemmas present in 'White Nights and Other Stories'. Dostoyevsky's unique perspective on the human condition sets him apart as one of the greatest literary minds of the 19th century. I highly recommend 'White Nights and Other Stories' to readers who appreciate introspective and philosophical literature that explores the complexities of human emotion. Dostoyevsky's masterful storytelling and profound insights make this collection a must-read for anyone interested in Russian literature and existential themes.
Download or read book Chartist Fiction written by Ian Haywood and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-04-17 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This title was first published in 2001. When the Chartist leader Ernest Jones emerged from prison in 1850, he was determined to capture the public's attention with a controversial and topical novel. The result of his endeavours was the remarkable Woman's Wrongs, a series of five tales exploring women's oppression at every level of society from the working class to the aristocracy. Each story presents a graphic, often harrowing account of the social, economic and emotional victimisation of women, and taken together the tales comprise a devastating indictment of Victorian patriarchal attitudes and sexual inequalities. But Jones also shows women's refusal to accept this subjugated role, and he creates some of Victorian literature's most subversive and unruly heroines. He draws on sensationalism, reportage, melodrama and political analysis in order to expose the wrongs done by and to women.
