In "Bartleby the Scrivener: A Story of Wall-Street," Herman Melville crafts a profound narrative that probes the human condition against the backdrop of 19th-century capitalism. The novella unfolds through the eyes of a nameless narrator, a Wall Street lawyer whose life is disrupted by the enigmatic figure of Bartleby, a scrivener who insists, "I would prefer not to." Melvilles distinctive style, marked by meticulous detail and existential contemplation, evokes a sense of absurdity and alienation, echoing contemporary themes of individualism and societal constraint. The text serves as a critique of mercantile culture and the dehumanizing aspects of modern work, positioning Bartleby as an emblem of passive resistance and existential despair amidst the relentless pursuit of productivity. Herman Melville, an American author best known for his epic novel "Moby-Dick," grappled with similar themes of isolation and struggle against societal norms throughout his career. His own experiences as a sailor and his keen observations of human nature and economic shifts in 19th-century America influenced his creation of Bartleby. Living amidst the rise of industrialization and urbanization, Melville reflects a profound disinterest in conformity and social expectations, channeling his complex views into this iconic story. "Bartleby the Scrivener" is an essential read for those interested in existential literature and social critique. Melvilles nuanced exploration of autonomy, work, and resistance invites readers to reflect on the balance between individuality and societal pressures. Its themes remain remarkably relevant, making it a thought-provoking addition to any literary canon.

Bartleby, the Scrivener: A Story of Wall Street is a story written by an American classic Herman Melvill.It is a small philosophical masterpiece by great Melvill.In the grotesque manner Melvill showed the relationship between a society and calm Bartleby, an American "little man". The main themes of this work are power and will. They have a philosophical meaning as well. The passive state of Bartleby is expressed by a Schopenhauers formula (one of the philosophers respected by Melvill) of resignation (full submission to the fate, resigned humility, and giving up any activities).But in order to deny something, one should at least have it

At thirty-five Mary Agreda began her Mystical City of God, which was the fruit of her daily meditations and rapt states of contemplation. When this work appeared it was hailed with almost unanimous applause by the bishops of Spain. The Spanish Inquisition, always rigid in its censorship, regarded it as almost, if not wholly, of divine revelation. The Sorbonne at Paris held thirty-two stances, in which five hundred and fifty doctors discussed its merits, but finally condemned it with true national hostility to Spain. At Rome it was indeed placed on the Index, but was removed shortly after by command of the pope himself, some say at the solicitation of the King of Spain. Though no formal approbation has ever been given to the work, Pope Alexander VIII. authorized its circulation, and Clement IX. forbade its being placed on the Index. Its discussion, however, has delayed the process for the canonization of its author, though no one ever doubted her sincerity, her earnest convictions, and the saintliness of her character. In it she displays a mind thoroughly imbued with the religious spirit, and, though without education, strictly speaking, shows a knowledge of Scripture, a depth of theological learning, and a correctness of scholastic terms that are truly surprising. The style is dignified, and yet easy; and some of her descriptions have a certain grandeur, as in the Passion, where Satan and his angels are represented as following Christ to Mount Calvary bound in chains, forced to become witnesses of his sufferings and death, and smitten to the ground at the moment of the Consummatum est. This is volume three out of four.

Following the death of her husband Sir Florian, beautiful Lizzie Eustace mysteriously comes into possession of a hugely expensive diamond necklace. She maintains it was a gift from her husband, but the Eustace lawyers insist she give it up, and while her cousin Frank takes her side, her new lover Lord Fawn states that he will only marry her if the necklace is surrendered. As gossip and scandal intensify, Lizzies truthfulness is thrown into doubt, and, in her desire to keep the jewels, she is driven to increasingly desperate acts. The third in Trollopes Palliser series, The Eustace Diamonds bears all the hallmarks of his later works, blending dark cynicism with humour and a keen perception of human nature.

Dubliners is a collection of fifteen short stories by James Joyce, first published in 1914. They form a naturalistic depiction of Irish middle class life in and around Dublin in the early years of the 20th century. The stories were written when Irish nationalism was at its peak, and a search for a national identity and purpose was raging; at a crossroads of history and culture, Ireland was jolted by various converging ideas and influences. They centre on Joyces idea of an epiphany: a moment where a character experiences a life-changing self-understanding or illumination. Many of the characters in Dubliners later appear in minor roles in Joyces novel Ulysses. The initial stories in the collection are narrated by child protagonists, and as the stories continue, they deal with the lives and concerns of progressively older people. This is in line with Joyces tripartite division of the collection into childhood, adolescence and maturity.
