The two boats fastened to the little pier that jutted out from the garden lay rocking in its shadow. Here and there lighted windows showed through the thick mist on the margins of the lake.

On the 8th of December last, M. Gerbois, professor of mathematics at Versailles College, rummaging among the stores at a second-hand dealers, discovered a small mahogany writing-desk, which took his fancy because of its many drawers. "Thats just what I want for Suzannes birthday," he thought.

Raymonde listened. The noise was repeated twice over, clearly enough to be distinguished from the medley of vague sounds that formed the great silence of the night and yet too faintly to enable her to tell whether it was near or far, within the walls of the big countryhouse, or outside, among the murky recesses of the park.She rose softly. Her window was half open: she flung it back wide. The moonlight lay over a peaceful landscape of lawns and thickets, against which the straggling ruins of the old abbey stood out in tragic outlines, truncated columns, mutilated arches, fragments of porches and shreds of flying buttresses. A light breeze hovered over the face of things, gliding noiselessly through the bare motionless branches of the trees, but shaking the tiny budding leaves of the shrubs.

The two boats fastened to the little pier that jutted out from the garden lay rocking in its shadow. Here and there lighted windows showed through the thick mist on the margins of the lake. The Enghien Casino opposite blazed with light, though it was late in the season, the end of September. A few stars appeared through the clouds. A light breeze ruffled the surface of the water.Arsene Lupin left the summerhouse where he was smoking a cigar and, bending forward at the end of the pier:"Growler?" he asked. "Masher?Are you there?"A man rose from each of the boats, and one of them answered:"Yes, governor.""Get ready. I hear the car coming with Gilbert and Vaucheray."

In "The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse," Vicente Blasco Ibáñez employs a rich and evocative narrative style to explore the profound effects of World War I on society and individual lives. Set against the backdrop of a rapidly changing Europe, the novel intertwines themes of love, sacrifice, and the stark realities of war, drawing upon the biblical imagery of the Four Horsemen to symbolize destruction, conquest, famine, and death. Ibañezs vivid characterizations and emotional depth invite readers into the stark confrontations between idealism and the brutal truths of humanitys capacity for violence, making this work a poignant reflection on the turmoil of the early 20th century. Vicente Blasco Ibañez was a prolific Spanish author and political figure whose own experiences including his participation in the Spanish-American War and deep engagement with the political turmoil of his time fueled a passionate commitment to social justice and an exploration of the human condition. His works reflect a profound empathy for the human plight, particularly as rooted in the historical and cultural phenomena of both Spain and Europe. "The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse," published in 1916, emerged during a period of personal and national crises, allowing Ibañez to weave his insights into a significant literary tapestry. Readers seeking an impactful narrative that captures the essence of human resilience amidst chaos will find "The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse" to be an essential addition to their literary repertoire. This novel is not only a gripping account of the trials of war but also an enduring testament to the complexities of love and the consequences of conflict. Highly recommended for those interested in modernist literature and historical narratives.

In "Plays," Anton Chekhov unveils a masterful collection of dramatic works that profoundly explore the complexities of human existence and the subtleties of relationships. Renowned for his innovative use of subtext and his ability to evoke deep emotions through seemingly simple dialogue, Chekhovs plays such as "The Cherry Orchard" and "Uncle Vanya" offer a rich tapestry of life in late 19th-century Russia. Through a blend of humor and melancholy, he delves into themes of unfulfilled aspirations, social change, and the passage of time, illuminating the paradoxes of ordinary life while challenging the conventions of theatrical narrative. Chekhovs background as a physician and keen observer of human behavior profoundly influenced his writing. Born in 1860 in Taganrog, Russia, he used his insights from both medicine and personal experience to craft characters that are at once relatable and tragic. His belief in the power of the theatre to reflect societal issues propelled him to write plays that transcended mere entertainment, cementing his legacy as a pivotal figure in modern drama. Highly recommended for both casual readers and scholars alike, Chekhovs "Plays" provides an insightful look into the intricacies of the human condition. Engaging with these texts not only enriches ones understanding of theatrical history but also offers an opportunity to reflect on the timeless themes that resonate across generations.
