  • The Complete Stories
    The Complete Stories by Franz Kafka a.b.e-book v3.0 / Notes at the end Back Cover : "An important book, valuable in itself and absolutely fascinating. The stories are dreamlike, allegorical, symbolic, parabolic, grotesque, ritualistic, nasty, lucent, extremely personal, ghoulishly detached, exquisitely comic. numinous and prophetic." -- New York Times "The Complete Stories is an encyclopedia of our insecurities and our brave attempts to oppose them." -- Anatole Broyard Franz Kafka wrote continuously and furiously throughout his short and intensely lived life, but only allowed a fraction of his work to be published during his lifetime. Shortly before his death at the age of forty, he instructed Max Brod, his friend and literary executor, to burn all his remaining works of fiction. Fortunately, Brod disobeyed. Page 1 The Complete Stories brings together all of Kafka's stories, from the classic tales such as "The Metamorphosis," "In the Penal Colony" and "The Hunger Artist" to less-known, shorter pieces and fragments Brod released after Kafka's death; with the exception of his three novels, the whole of Kafka's narrative work is included in this volume. The remarkable depth and breadth of his brilliant and probing imagination become even more evident when these stories are seen as a whole. This edition also features a fascinating introduction by John Updike, a chronology of Kafka's life, and a selected bibliography of critical writings about Kafka.

But beyond that, I appreciated the book’s message that the road to happiness is to be true to yourself first.” - The FlyLeaf Review “An extremely adorkable read about being comfortable in your own skin. Get ready to bring out your inner nerd!” - Sara Book Nerd “THE SUMMER I BECAME A NERD is everything you want in an ideal summer; it’s fun and bright, with the perfect mix of romance and nerdiness. You’ll devour this book with as much enthusiasm as the main character devours the latest comic book.” - Alice in Readerland “A total feel good romance with plenty of laughs and smiles, and just the right amount of emotion.” - A Good Addiction “A sweet and fun summer read that turns the tables on the popular guy/nerdy girl scenario and refreshingly features a popular girl who wants to let her nerd flag fly.

MDCCCXCVI CHISWICK PRESS :—CHARLES WHITTINGHAM AND CO. TOOKS COURT, CHANCERY LANE, LONDON. EDITORIAL NOTE. THE PRESENT VOLUME IS COMPOSED OF THE CONTENTS OF MR. MATTHEW ARNOLD'S FIRST FOUR VOLUMES, "ALARIC," "CROMWELL," "THE STRAYED REVELLER," AND " EMPEDOCLES ON ETNA," AND THAT PORTION OF THE FIFTH WHICH HAD NOT PREVIOUSLY APPEARED IN THE EARLIER VOLUMES. TO THESE HAS BEEN ADDED THE SONNET "TO THE HUNGARIAN NATION," WHICH FIRST APPEARED IN THE "EXAMINER" FOR 1849, AND HAS NEVER HITHERTO BEEN REPRINTED. THE ORIGINAL ARRANGEMENT OF THE POEMS IN EACH VOLUME HAS BEEN OBSERVED. INTRODUCTION. HE incontestable importance of Matthew Arnold's T place in English poetical literature arises not merely from the beauty of much of his poetry, but from his peculiar distinction as one of the few eminent English poets who are enrolled among the legislators of their art, not more by the indirect influence of their metrical compositions, than by the authority univers­ ally accorded to their critical utterances. Coleridge, the most penetrating critic Britain ever possessed, is too casual and desultory to rank among legislators, and the two poets who admit of most profitable comparison with Arnold in this respect are Dryden and Wordsworth. Each of the three had definite con­ victions on the subject of poetry which he exemplified in his own practice; and each, along with error and exaggerated truth, contributed elements to the forma­ tion of a poetical ideal which can never be ignored.

  • WILLIAM STYRON and JOSEPH HELLER William
    r\c». ñ TRAGIC AND COMIC MODES IN TWENTIETH CENTURY AMERICAN LITERATURE: WILLIAM STYRON AND JOSEPH HELLER William Luttrell A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate School of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY June 1969 Approved by Doctoral Committee /»í J Adviser Dg$artment of English Graduate School Representative ABSTRACT William Styron and Joseph Heller are important contemporary American writers who can be associated with a certain "climate of opin­ ion" in the twentieth century. The intellectual basis for this climate of opinion is that the world we know today, metaphysically, historical­ ly, scientifically, and socially, is one that does not admit to a secure and stable interpretation. Within such a climate of opinion one hesi­ tates to enumerate metaphysical truths about the universe; one doubts historical eschatology, except perhaps in a diabolical sense; one speaks scientifically in terms of probability and the statistics of randomness rather than absolute order; and one analyzes social problems in terms of specific values in specific situations rather than from an unchanging and absolute frame of reference. Indeed, it is because of a diminishing hope of achieving an absolute or even satisfying control over the world that many have come to live with contingency as a way of life, and have little reason to believe that their partially articulated values rever­ berate much beyond themselves. Through their fictional characters William Styron and Joseph Heller are contemporary observers of this climate of opinion. Styron reveals in his novels a vision of man separated from his familiar values and unable to return to them.

POLLARD LC ©ClA705590 MAY 28 '23 no 1 Os. 7R May 31, 23 TO The one to whom I long ago dedicated my life, and to whose sweet companionship and gentle, loving helpfulness is due whatever of good I may have accomplished; who has been an inspiration for all of my best successes and achievements, I now lovingly dedicate this little volume of sketches of that life—to My Wife, JESSIE GRESHAM POLLARD. “ I thank all who have loved me in their hearts With thanks and love from mine. ” Memoirs and sketches of the life of Henry Robinson Pollard; an autobiography http://www.loc.gov/resource/lhbcb.10851 Library of Congress vii INTRODUCTION At one time, under the influence of Sir Walter Scott and other such writers, I supposed that the history of no other country could equal in charm and interest that of the little land sometimes called North Britain, but a closer study of the people of my own Virginia and of the vicissitudes through which they have passed with credit to themselves has led me to alter this opinion. What better support for this change of view could I offer than to point the reader to these vivid sketches selected by my valued friend, Hon. Henry R. Pollard, from interesting and thrilling scenes and experiences of his long and active life? No important events have taken place in Virginia during the last sixty years in which he has not taken an active and often a leading part.
