This carefully crafted ebook: «Charlotte Brontë's Juvenilia» is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents. Table of Contents: Tales of Angria (Mina Laury, Stancliffe's Hotel) + Angria and the Angrians: Charlotte Bronte, together with her brother Branwell, created the imaginary kingdom of Angria in 1834. She was to write several Angria tales for the next five years. The Tales of Angria offer an ironic portrait of the intrigues, scandals, and passions. The stories provide a fascinating glimpse into the mind and creative processes of the young writer who was to become one of the world's greatest novelists. The Story of Willie Ellin: This unfinished fragment contains the poignant story of an abused child. Albion and Marina: A romance about star-crossed lovers, Albion and Marina is a trial run by 14-year-old Charlotte Bronte for Jane Eyre. Tales of the Islanders: The four volumes of tales collected here make delightful reading, while offering a unique insight into Brontë family life and Charlotte's development as a writer: these are the stories she and her siblings imagined for their magic island kingdom. The stories are charmingly written in a very fairytale-esque style. They are written by a child and therefore are sometimes hard to follow when the stories make big turns, which force the reader to read them slowly and devour each sentence. The Green Dwarf: Lady Emily Charlesworth is in love with Leslie, a struggling artist. Lord Percy, a fierce, arrogant aristocrat, will do anything to lay his hands on Leslie's chosen bride. With its exotic melange of political intrigue, amorous subterfuge, and Gothic scenery, The Green Dwarf reveals the dynamic and experimental nature of Brontë's writing. Charlotte Brontë is best remembered for her perennially popular novel Jane Eyre.

Este ebook presenta «La Galatea» con un sumario dinámico y detallado. La Galatea es una novela de Miguel de Cervantes publicada en 1585. Los personajes son pastores que relatan sus penas amorosas en una naturaleza idealizada. La Galatea se compone de seis libros en los cuales se desarrollan una historia principal y cuatro secundarias. La principal refiere los amores de los pastores Elicio y Galatea, a la cual su padre quiere casar con el rico Erastro. Y las secundarias añaden otros episodios amorosos. La novela adopta las convenciones del género, pero ironiza con las relaciones entre los pastores y el entorno geográfico —el río Tajo—.

Ce livre numérique présente Tous les Contes et Nouvelles de Maupassant (plus de 320 Contes) avec une table des matières dynamique et détaillée. Guy de Maupassant (1850 – 1893) a marqué la littérature française par ses six romans, dont Une vie en 1883, Bel-Ami en 1885, Pierre et Jean en 1887-1888, mais surtout par ses nouvelles, (parfois intitulées contes), comme Boule de suif en 1880, les Contes de la bécasse (1883) ou Le Horla (1887). Ces oeuvres retiennent l'attention par leur force réaliste, la présence importante du fantastique et par le pessimisme qui s'en dégage le plus souvent mais aussi par la maîtrise stylistique. La carrière littéraire de Guy de Maupassant se limite à une décennie – de 1880 à 1890 – avant qu'il ne sombre peu à peu dans la folie et ne meure à quarante-trois ans. Reconnu de son vivant, Guy de Maupassant conserve un renom de premier plan, renouvelé encore par les nombreuses adaptations filmées de ses oeuvres.
