Wells was as taken up with the real world as his imaginary realm. Dissatisfied with the quality of history books at the end of World War I, the writer began penning his own history of the world. First published in 1922, A Short History of the World presents a groundbreaking study of the civilisation from the origins of the Earth spanning the Neolithic Era, the rise of Judaism, the Golden Age of Athens, Christs life, the great discovery of America to the consequences of World War I. Inspired by Wellss The Outline of History (1919) a work in three volumes, beginning with Prehistory and following the worlds significant events through World War I this condensed work chronicles the physical, intellectual and spiritual evolution of the human race. Wells adopts a Darwinian approach and avoids presenting history within a politicised framework. Passionately told, A Short History of the World remains an evergreen classic. From the repertoire of William Shakespeares most remarkable romantic comedies and classical tragedies, Tales from Shakespeare by Charles and Mary Lamb is a keepsake collection for all lovers of literature. From Portias spontaneous wit to Desdemonas untainted innocence; Cordelias candour to Romeo and Juliets tragic tale of passionate love, Tales from Shakespeare explores all facets of human personality with utmost sensitivity and great finesse. Charles and Mary Lamb promise their young readers a unique rediscovery of the Bards 20 phenomenal plays, bringing them closer to the relevance of the revered authors prose and verse in the 21st century. The language is simple, the literary flavour is intact and the reading experience is exceptionally soul-satisfying. This collection is a perfect companion for all seasons. This hobble of being alive is rather serious, dont you think so? Thomas Hardys magnum opus, Tess of the dUrbervilles first appeared in book form in 1891. It initially received mixed reviews and was censored due to the challenges that it presented to the sexual morals of Victorian society. However, through the subtitle of the novel, A PureWoman Faithfully Presented, Hardy sympathises with the working class woman who becomes a hapless victim of the rigid Victorian society. Tess of the dUrbervilles was later considered one of the greatest novels of the nineteenth century. Through Tess Durbeyfield, Hardy skilfully shows the social injustices that are deeply rooted in gender. A moving tale of loss, unrequited love and condemnation, the novel has one of the most tragic endings of all time. Adapted to film, theatre and television several times over, the novel is a timeless classic.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Om Book International","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45879464263878,"sku":"DADAX9391258743","price":25.92,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/9389\/1014\/files\/812wdLmgjUL.jpg?v=1779708845","url":"https:\/\/ergodemedia.com\/products\/worlds-greatest-original-classics-the-mill-on-the-floss-tales-from-shakespeare-and-tess-of-the-durbervilles-bundle-of-3-book","provider":"Ergodemedia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
