The Tragic Muse is a novel by Henry James, first published as a serial in The Atlantic Monthly in 1889-1890 and then as a book in 1890. This wide, cheerful panorama of English life follows the fortunes of two would-be artists: Nick Dormer, who vacillates between a political career and his efforts to become a painter, and Miriam Rooth, an actress striving for artistic and commercial success. A huge cast of supporting characters help and hinder their pursuits. Art or politics, this is the question Nick Dormer dealls with in the course of this novel. Mirian Ruth, an aspiring actress, is the tragic muse of the title. Her concerns are a bit different: would proper society accept her as an actress, or would she have to choose between giving up acting and marrying well? A large and interesting cast of secondary characters accompany them along the way, for good or bad. This novel is for lovers of Trollope and Dickins, while James s sharp and keen observations and wit are there at all times. Enjoy a stroll in the park listening to this overlooked masterpiece. This edition from 1921 includes the preface from the The New York Edition.

The Portrait of a Lady is a novel by Henry James, first published as a serial in The Atlantic Monthly and Macmillan s Magazine in 1880–81 and then as a book in 1881. It is one of James s most popular long novels, and is regarded by critics as one of his finest. The Portrait of a Lady is the story of a spirited young American woman, Isabel Archer, who affronts her destiny and finds it overwhelming. She inherits a large amount of money and subsequently becomes the victim of Machiavellian scheming by two American expatriates. Like many of James s novels, it is set in Europe, mostly England and Italy. Generally regarded as the masterpiece of James s early period, this novel reflects James s continuing interest in the differences between the New World and the Old, often to the detriment of the former. It also treats in a profound way the themes of personal freedom, responsibility, and betrayal.

The Princess Casamassima is a novel by Henry James, first published as a serial in The Atlantic Monthly in 1885-1886 and then as a book in 1886. It is the story of an intelligent but confused young London bookbinder, Hyacinth Robinson, who becomes involved in radical politics and a terrorist assassination plot. The book is unusual in the Jamesian canon for dealing with such a violent political subject. But it is often paired with another novel published by James in the same year, The Bostonians, which is also concerned with political issues, though in a much less tragic manner. Princess Casamassima can be read on several levels: first, as a political and social novel, exploring the anarchistic and revolutionary underground of London in the 1880s secondly as a psychological study of such a movement on a young man (the protagonist, Hyacinth Robinson) who may or may not be descended from the aristocracy, but whose artistic nature shines out in the midst of the London slums and thirdly, as an examination of the conundrum whether the world of art and culture is necessarily built on the abject poverty of others. The Princess herself started as the beautiful and intelligent American Christina Light in James’s Roderick Hudson but has now come to London to escape the Neapolitan prince to whom she is unhappily married. Yet she and Robinson are only two of a larger set of characters whose commitment to an imagined revolutionary cause may be sincere or many be questionable. As is usual with Henry James, readers will have to make their own judgements.

Crime and Punishment is a novel by the Russian author Fyodor Dostoyevsky. It was first published in the literary journal The Russian Messenger in twelve monthly instalments during 1866. It was later published in a single volume. It is the second of Dostoyevsky s full-length novels following his return from ten years of exile in Siberia. Crime and Punishment is considered the first great novel of his mature period of writing  Crime and Punishment focuses on the mental anguish and moral dilemmas of Rodion Raskolnikov, an impoverished ex-student in St. Petersburg who formulates and executes a plan to kill an unscrupulous pawnbroker for her cash. Raskolnikov argues that with the pawnbroker s money he can perform good deeds to counterbalance the crime, while ridding the world of a worthless vermin. He also commits this murder to test his own hypothesis that some people are naturally capable of such things, and even have the right to do them. Several times throughout the novel, Raskolnikov justifies his actions by comparing himself with Napoleon Bonaparte, believing that murder is permissible in pursuit of a higher purpose. Much of the suspense of the novel is psychological, as the reader agonizes over Raskolnikov s efforts to evade justice for his crime. Much of it is also moral, as the question of whether or not Raskolnikov himself can find redemption as a human being leads to a surprising culmination. Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoyevsky was a Russian novelist, short story writer and essayist. Dostoyevsky s literary works explore human psychology in the context of the troubled political, social and spiritual atmosphere of 19th-century Russia. Although he began writing in the mid-1840s, his most memorable works—including Crime and Punishment, The Idiot and The Brothers Karamazov—are from his later years. His output consists of eleven novels, three novellas, seventeen short novels and three essays. Many literary critics rate him as one of the greatest and most prominent psychologists in world literature.

Roderick Hudson is a novel by Henry James. Originally published in 1875 as a serial in The Atlantic Monthly, it is a bildungsroman that traces the development of the title character, a sculptor. Roderick Hudson is James s first important novel. The theme of Americans in Europe, so important in much of James s work, is already central to the story. Hudson is a young law student in Northampton, Massachusetts, who shows such surprising ability as a sculptor that the rich Rowland Mallett, visiting a cousin in Northampton, decides to stake him to several years of study in Rome, then a center of expatriate American society. The story has to do not only with Roderick s growth as an artist and the problems it brings, but also as a man susceptible to his new environment, and indeed his occasional rivalries with his American friend and patron. Interestingly enough, at least two of the book s characters made sufficient impression on James that he brought them back in other books: the French-Italian-Yankee sculptor, Gloriani, who appears later in The American, and Christina Light, the American who becomes the subject of Princess Casamassima, one of James s later (and much longer) novels. The first book publication was in late 1875, and a second edition was published in 1879. In 1907 James revised the book extensively for the New York Edition of his fiction. This edition is the later New York edition.  Total Running Time (TRT): 13h, 21 min Henry James, OM (Order of Merit) (1843-1916) was an American-born writer, regarded as one of the key figures of 19th-century literary realism.

The Spoils of Poynton is a novel by Henry James, first published under the title The Old Things as a serial in The Atlantic Monthly in 1896 and then as a book in 1897.  This novel describes the struggle between Mrs. Gereth, a widow of impeccable taste and iron will, and her son Owen over a houseful of precious antique furniture. The story is largely told from the viewpoint of Fleda Vetch, a young woman in love with Owen but sympathetic to Mrs. Gereth s anguish over losing the antiques she patiently collected.  Adela Gereth, a lover of beauty and passionate collector of fine objects, strikes up a friendship with the young Fleda Vetch, when both of them find themselves guests in the tasteless house of Brigstock family. Mrs. Gereth fears that her son Owen, an honorable but somewhat unimaginative young man, may take up with one of the Brigstock girls, and indeed he presently announces his engagement to Mona, the eldest daughter. That means that Mrs. Gereth will have to leave Poynton, the beautiful house that she and her husband filled with the furniture, china, tapestries, and other objects that they lovingly collected over the years. It is not so much possessiveness that drives Mrs. Gereth to want to maintain control over them, but rather the sense that she will have failed if Mona, understanding and appreciating nothing of what Poynton contains, should become Owen s wife and take charge. The story and its developing conflicts are seen largely from the point of view of Fleda Vetch, the young woman who, her moral and aesthetic sensibilities tuned perhaps as finely as any of James s protagonists, finds herself caught in the middle.

‘To Whom This May Come’ (1889) is a classic short story by the American author, Edward Bellamy, most famous for his socialist and utopian novel ‘Looking Backward: 2000-1887’ (1888).First published in ‘Harper s New Monthly Magazine’, it tells the tale of an unnamed narrator who is the sole survivor of a shipwreck. Washed ashore on a remote island, he is horrified to discover that its inhabitants have the ability to read minds, but to his surprise, this unique ability has consequences he never expected.This adventurous tale will excite those who are already familiar with Bellamy´s other short stories, as well as new readers who are looking for an interesting read. Edward Bellamy (1850 - 1898) was an American author, journalist and political activist. His novel ‘Looking Backward: 2000-1887’ (1888) was one of the most successful books published in the United States in the 19th century and influenced a generation of intellectuals. Referenced in many Marxist publications of the time, the book inspired the formation of Nationalist Clubs dedicated to spreading his political ideas.Bellamy’s other works include the novels ‘Six to One’ (1878), ‘Dr. Heidenhoff s Process’ (1880), ‘Miss Ludington s Sister’ (1885), ‘Equality’ (1897) and ‘The Duke of Stockbridge a Romance of Shays Rebellion (1900)’, as well as several short stories, such as ‘The Blindman s World’, ‘To Whom This May Come’, and ‘With the Eyes Shut’.

Dombey and Son is a novel by Charles Dickens, published in monthly parts from October 1846 to April 1848 and in one volume in 1848. Its full title is: Dealings with the Firm of Dombey and Son: Wholesale, Retail and for Exportation.The story concerns Paul Dombey, the wealthy owner of the shipping company of the book s title, whose dream is to have a son to continue his business. The book begins when his son is born, and Dombey s wife dies shortly after giving birth. Following the advice of Mrs Louisa Chick, his sister, Dombey employs a wet nurse named Mrs Richards. Dombey already has a daughter, Florence, whom he neglects. One day, Mrs Richards, Florence and her maid, Susan Nipper, secretly pay a visit to Mrs Richard s house in Staggs s Gardens so that she can see her children. During this trip, Florence becomes separated and is kidnapped…As with most of Dickens work, a number of socially significant themes are to be found in this book. In particular the book deals with the then-prevalent common practice of arranged marriages for financial gain. Other themes to be detected within this work include child cruelty (particularly in Dombey s treatment of Florence), familial relationships, and as ever in Dickens, betrayal and deceit and the consequences thereof. Another strong central theme, which the critic George Gissing elaborates on in detail in his 1925 work The Immortal Dickens, is that of pride and arrogance, of which Paul Dombey senior is the extreme exemplification in Dickens work.Audiobook running time: 40 hours.

He created some of the world s most memorable fictional characters and is generally regarded as the greatest novelist of the Victorian period. During his life, his works enjoyed unprecedented fame, and by the twentieth century his literary genius was broadly acknowledged by critics and scholars. His novels and short stories continue to be widely popular. Dickens was regarded as the literary colossus of his age. His 1843 novella, A Christmas Carol, is one of the most influential works ever written, and it remains popular and continues to inspire adaptations in every artistic genre. Set in London and Paris, his 1859 novel, A Tale of Two Cities, is the best selling novel of all time. His creative genius has been praised by fellow writers, from Leo Tolstoy to George Orwell and G. K. Chesterton, for its realism, comedy, prose style, unique characterisations, and social criticism.

De Fyras Tecken (engelska: The Sign of Four) är den andra av fyra romaner om Sherlock Holmes, skriven av Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, ursprungligen publicerad 1890 i Lippincott s Monthly Magazine. De Fyras Tecken utspelar sig 1887.  Skatten från Agra finns i bakgrunden i en djävulsk komplott av mord och bedrägeri. Sherlock Holmes jagar i London Jonathan Small, en av De fyra . Bokens andra del utspelar sig i koloniala Indien. Liksom romanerna En studie i rött och Fasans dal är romanen tvådelad, där första delen handlar om hur Sherlock Holmes och Dr Watson löser fallet i England, och andra delen är en bakgrundshistoria ur mördarens synpunkt. De fyras tecken har filmatiserats drygt tio gånger. Sherlock Holmes är huvudpersonen i en serie världsbekanta detektivhistorier, och prototypen för en skarpsinnig yrkesdetektiv som inte skyr några mödor eller faror. Hans levnadstecknare, följeslagare och understundom också kollega heter doktor John H. Watson. Sherlock Holmes gjorde entré i världen i samband med romanen A study in scarlet (på svenska En studie i rött) (1887), och vann stor ryktbarhet några år senare när de första Holmesnovellerna började publiceras i tidskriften The Strand Magazine. Holmes karakteriseras av sin imponerande iakttagelse- och slutledningsförmåga vilken han då och då prövar på doktor Watson och kommissarie G Lestrade. Det anmärkningsvärda med Sherlock Holmes metod är att han genomför tämligen moderna brottsplatsundersökningar. Genom deduktion får han fram fakta ur bevis vilket leder till att fallet klaras upp. Holmes spelar fiol. Under främst sysslolösa perioder injicerar han morfin eller en sjuprocentig kokainlösning i brist på den stimulans som arbetet annars ger. Andra figurer som tillhör Sherlock Holmes-världen är hyresvärdinnan Mrs Hudson (som äger våningen på 221B Baker Street), the Baker Street Irregulars (ett gäng gatpojkar som hjälper till), Mycroft Holmes (Holmes bror), och självklart professor James Moriarty – Holmes ärkefiende. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, (1859-1930), var en skotsk läkare och författare, mest känd för sina böcker om mästerdetektiven Sherlock Holmes och doktor Watson.  Totalt skrev Doyle 56 noveller och fyra romaner om Sherlock Holmes och doktor Watson. Utöver böckerna om detektiven på Baker Street har Doyle även skrivit ett flertal andra verk.

The Picture of Dorian Gray is the only published novel by Oscar Wilde, appearing as the lead story in Lippincott s Monthly Magazine on 20 June 1890, printed as the July 1890 issue of this magazine. Wilde later revised the Lippincott edition, making several alterations, and adding new chapters the amended version was published by Ward, Lock, and Company in April 1891. This edition is the 1891 version. The novel tells of a young man named Dorian Gray, the subject of a painting by artist Basil Hallward. Basil is impressed by Dorian s beauty and becomes infatuated with him, believing his beauty is responsible for a new mode in his art. Dorian meets Lord Henry Wotton, a friend of Basil s, and becomes enthralled by Lord Henry s world view. Espousing a new hedonism, Lord Henry suggests the only things worth pursuing in life are beauty and fulfillment of the senses. Realizing that one day his beauty will fade, Dorian (whimsically) expresses a desire to sell his soul to ensure the portrait Basil has painted would age rather than himself. Dorian s wish is fulfilled, plunging him into debauched acts. The portrait serves as a reminder of the effect each act has upon his soul, with each sin displayed as a disfigurement of his form, or through a sign of aging. The Picture of Dorian Gray is considered a work of classic gothic fiction with a strong Faustian theme. Audiobook, read by Bob Neufeldt, running time 9 hours, 26 min. Unabridged full version. Also available as E-Book, ePUB, length 79,300 words, average reading time 6 hours, 35 min. Oscar Wilde (1854 –1900) was an Irish poet and playwright. The early 1890s saw him become one of the most popular playwrights in London. He is best remembered for his epigrams and plays, his novel The Picture of Dorian Gray, and the circumstances of his criminal conviction for gross indecency , imprisonment, and early death at age 46.  

Bleak House is a novel by Charles Dickens, published in 20 monthly instalments between March 1852 and September 1853. It is held to be one of Dickens s finest novels, containing one of the most vast, complex and engaging arrays of minor characters and sub-plots in his entire canon. The story is told partly by the novel s heroine, Esther Summerson, and partly by a mostly omniscient narrator. Memorable characters include the menacing lawyer Tulkinghorn, the friendly but depressive John Jarndyce, and the childish and disingenuous Harold Skimpole, as well as the likeable but imprudent Richard Carstone.At the novel s core is long-running litigation in England s Court of Chancery, Jarndyce v Jarndyce, which has far-reaching consequences for all involved. This case revolves around a testator who apparently made several wills. The litigation, which already has taken many years and consumed between £60,000 and £70,000 in court costs, is emblematic of the failure of Chancery. Dickens s assault on the flaws of the British judicial system is based in part on his own experiences as a law clerk, and in part on his experiences as a Chancery litigant seeking to enforce copyright on his earlier books. His harsh characterisation of the slow, arcane Chancery law process gave memorable form to pre-existing widespread frustration with the system.George Gissing and G. K. Chesterton are among those literary critics and writers who consider Bleak House to be the best novel that Charles Dickens wrote. As Chesterton put it: Bleak House is not certainly Dickens best book but perhaps it is his best novel . Harold Bloom, in his book The Western Canon, considers Bleak House to be Dickens s greatest novel. Daniel Burt, in his book The Novel 100: A Ranking of the Greatest Novels of All Time, ranks Bleak House number 12.Audiobook running time: 39 hours.

Originally published in 1880 as a serial in Cornhill Magazine and Harper s New Monthly Magazine, Washington Square is a structurally simple tragicomedy that recounts the conflict between a dull but sweet daughter and her brilliant, domineering father. The plot of the novel is based upon a true story told to James by his close friend, British actress Fanny Kemble. The book is often compared to Jane Austen s work for the clarity and grace of its prose and its intense focus on family relationships. James was not a great fan of Washington Square itself. Other readers, though, have sufficiently enjoyed the book to make it one of the more popular works of the Jamesian canon.

The Aspern Papers is a novella written by Henry James, originally published in The Atlantic Monthly in 1888, with its first book publication later in the same year. One of James best-known and most acclaimed longer tales, The Aspern Papers is based on the letters Percy Bysshe Shelley wrote to Mary Shelley s stepsister, Claire Clairmont, who saved them until she died. Set in Venice, The Aspern Papers demonstrates James ability to generate suspense while never neglecting the development of his characters. One of James’s favorite short novels, The Aspern Papers tells of the efforts of the nameless narrator to procure the papers of a famous, but now dead, American poet. His attempts to secure them from the poet’s former lover and her niece, now recluses in Venice, are stymied both by them, and by his own mistakes in his quest.
