Illustrated Edition: Includes 20 captivating illustrations that bring the story to life.Comprehensive Summary: A succinct and engaging summary to whet your appetite and deepen your understanding of the narrative.Detailed Character List: An insightful exploration of the key figures within this prophetic tale.Author Biography: A look into the life of E.M. Forster, offering context to his creation of this timeless work.Dive into the dystopian world of E.M. Forster's "The Machine Stops," a visionary novella that presages our modern dilemmas with technology and isolation. This illustrated edition, enriched with 20 striking illustrations, not only visualizes Forster's imagined future but also invites readers into the depths of its message with an accompanying summary, detailed character list, and a biography of the author himself.Set in a future where humanity dwells beneath the earth's surface, nurtured and governed by an all-encompassing Machine, Forster explores the chilling ramifications of a life devoid of direct human contact and dependence on technology. Through the eyes of Vashti and her son Kuno, we witness the struggle between the comfort of a controlled, mechanized existence and the innate human desire for autonomy, physical experience, and connection.Vashti epitomizes the complacent citizen, perfectly content within the confines of her technological cell, communicating through instant messaging and lectures. In stark contrast, Kuno represents the human spirit's rebellion against the fetters of an overly mechanized life, yearning for the freedom to explore the forbidden surface of the Earth and the direct touch of human interaction."The Machine Stops" is not merely a story but a warning, a reflection on our relationship with technology and the enduring quest for meaningful connections in a mediated world. This edition, with its beautiful illustrations, comprehensive summary, character analysis, and insight into Forster's life, offers a complete journey into one of the most prescient works of 20th-century literature. Whether you're a long-time fan of Forster or new to his work, this edition is an essential addition to your collection, providing a fresh perspective on a tale that has never been more relevant.

Diary of a Provincial Lady (1930)E. M. Delafield (1890-1943)THE ORIGINAL TEXT OF THIS RECORDING IS IN THE PUBLIC DOMAIN IN COUNTRIES WHERE COPYRIGHT EXPIRES 70 YEARS OR LESS AFTER THE AUTHOR'S DEATH, BUT IS STILL PROTECTED BY COPYRIGHT IN THE USA AND SOME OTHER COUNTRIES. PLEASE CHECK THE COPYRIGHT LAW OF YOUR COUNTRY BEFORE PURCHASINGABOUT THE story: First published in 1930, this charming, funny book is a warm portrait of a middle-class English family and their village life. Our heroine recounts the mundane delights and disasters of her household, dealing with constant money worries, the challenges of finding &amp keeping a really good parlourmaid, and how best to retain grace towards her fellow humans in the face of their astonishing range of foibles. It's also a wonderfully genuine description of a marriage, with all the little ups and downs of rubbing along with the same person for so many years.About the author: Edm e Elizabeth Monica Dashwood, n e de la Pasture (9 June 1890 - 2 December 1943), commonly known as E. M. Delafield, was a prolific English author who is best-known for her largely autobiographical Diary of a Provincial Lady, which took the form of a journal of the life of an upper-middle class Englishwoman living mostly in a Devon village of the 1930s, and its sequels in which the Provincial Lady buys a flat in London and travels to America. Other sequels of note are her experiences looking for war-work during the Phoney War in 1939, and her experiences as a tourist in the Soviet Union."Notice, and am gratified by, large clump of crocuses near the front gate. Should like to make whimsical and charming reference to these and try to fancy myself as 'Elizabeth of the German Garden', but am interrupted by Cook, saying that the Fish is here, but he's only bought cod and haddock, and the haddock doesn't smell any too fresh, so what about cod? Have often noticed that Life is like that."ReviewsGlorious, simply glorious―DAILY TELEGRAPHShe converts the small and familiar dullness of life into laughter―The TIMESI reread, for the nth time, E. M. Delafield's dry, caustic Diary of a Provincial Lady, and howled with laughter―India KnightI finished the book in one sitting, leaving the children unbathed, dogs unwalked, a husband unfed, and giving alternate cries of joy and recognition throughout―Jully CooperFrom the PublisherThe Provincial Lady has a nice house, a nice husband (usually asleep behind The Times) and nice children. In fact, maintaining Niceness is the Provincial Lady's goal in life - her raison d' tre. She never raises her voice, rarely ventures outside Devon (why would she?), only occasionally allows herself to become vexed by the ongoing servant problem, and would be truly appalled by the confessional mode that has gripped the late 20th century. The Provincial Lady, after all, is part of what made Britain great.

Lucy Honeychurch, a young upper middle class woman, visits Italy under the charge of her older cousin Charlotte. At their pension, or guesthouse, in Florence, they are given rooms that look into the courtyard rather than out over the river Arno. Mr. Emerson, a fellow guest, generously offers them the rooms belonging to himself and his son George. Although Charlotte is offended by Mr. Emerson's lack of tact and propriety, she finally does agree to the switch. Lucy is an avid young pianist. Mr. Beebe, watches her passionate playing and predicts that someday she will live her life with as much gusto as she plays the piano.Lucy's visit to Italy is marked by several significant encounters with the Emersons. In Santa Croce church, George complains that his father means well, but always offends everyone. Mr. Emerson tells Lucy that his son needs her in order to overcome his youthful melancholy. Later, Lucy is walking in the Piazza Signoria, feeling dull, when she comes in close contact with two quarreling Italian men. One man stabs the other, and she faints, to be rescued by George.

Of Swans and Stars is a collection of poems based around four themes; being hopeful, being hopeless, love, then myth and magic. They are at times angsty or raw, they are sometimes angry and dark, or even whimsical. There are probably too many poems about dragons and of course plenty of poems about love.This book is about my seeking my own direction in life with all the missteps, the pitfalls and the wrong turns that go hand in hand along the way.
