"Barchester Towers" by Anthony Trollope (1857)
29 April 2023, by Anthony TrollopeAn enchanting story of strife in the hierarchy of the established church in a glorious, ancient and utterly civilized corner of south England baptised Barchester.
A story that subtly is saying things about tolerance and justice and openness to men’s hearts and the virtues of kindness and understanding in an increasingly harsh, competitive, strife-ridden world. And in the most easy and natural prose one can imagine, constantly underpinned with a sense of humour and whimsy at the foibles of (…) -
"Moby Dick" by Herman Melville (1850)
26 April 2023, by Herman MelvilleWritten in a vigorous style peppered with very American humour and a quite unparalleled enthusiasm for his subject, the quality of the text is of the very highest order, complex and rich and highly articulate – perhaps too sophisticated in fact for the American public of the day who practically ignored this novel at the time of its publication in spite of the big successes of his previous books, Typee and Omoo, both about life in the Polynesian islands in the exotic South Seas.

"Twice-Told Tales" by Nathaniel Hawthorne (1837)
22 April 2023, by Nathaniel HawthorneThe first book published by the future author of The Scarlet Letter, a collection of stories that had previously appeared in various New England newspapers, all evoking the past epochs of that English colony, all with a tinge of the occult and the mysterious, and just about all with a quite passionate anger at the rigidities and injustices of the rigorous Puritan mentality that was so characteristic of that colony and that was still somewhat present in later times there.

"The Scarlet Letter" by Nathaniel Hawthorne (1850)
19 April 2023, by Nathaniel HawthorneA classic account of the parochial puritanism in pioneer pre-revolutionary America, a powerful portrayal of the practically-irresistible pressure that dominant social attitudes infused with religious intolerance exercise on the individual and the personal tragedies that they entail.

"Vanity Fair" by William Thackeray (1848)
15 April 2023, by William ThackerayA magnificently vibrant portrait of the society of the time, the mid-19th Century when England was the most prosperous and industrially advanced country in the world, and of the eternal social comedy, the fair of vanities – the never-ending fair in the wicked town of Vanity referred to in the title was the central theme of John Bunyan’s 17th-Century classic Pilgrim’s Progress) – that rings just so true down to our own times.

"Jane Eyre" by Charlotte Brontë (1847)
8 April 2023, by Charlotte BrontëThis famous novel needs no introduction: suffice it to say that its enviable reputation as one of the finest English-language novels of all time is fully justified. Scope, emotion, pace, mastery of the language: all of the ingredients for a masterpiece are here, with a perhaps feminine kind of sensitivity to heighten the nuances of awareness, but in no way limited in scope to the feminine experience.

"Sense and Sensibility" by Jane Austin (1811)
2 April 2023, by Jane AustinThe first of the four novels published during Jane Austin’s lifetime, this classic explores in depth the central theme of all her oeuvre: the anxieties of genteel, well-educated, well-mannered — and totally dependant — young women (and their mothers) embarked upon the search for a suitable mate who will enable them to maintain their desirable social status with as few moral compromises as possible. And it is hard if not quite impossible not to feel empathy for Marianne Dashwood, the clever, (…)
