Sinossi

Entitled 'French Classics - Boxed Set: 100+ Novels, Short Stories, Poems, Plays & Philosophical Books,' this comprehensive anthology offers an expansive journey through the canon of French literature. Featuring works that span the spectrum from riveting adventure tales and poignant romances to biting social commentaries and profound philosophical discourses, this collection captures the essence of French literary tradition. Among its gems, the anthology includes both the adventurous flair and technological foresight of speculative stories, alongside poignant explorations of human nature and societal conventions. The varied scope offers readers a rich tapestry of literary exploration that exemplifies the changing philosophical and artistic tides of France. The collective force of authors such as Stendhal, Jules Verne, Gustave Flaubert, and Marcel Proust, to name a few, mirrors the evolution of French literary thought from the Enlightenment through the Romantic and Realist movements, into the Modern era. These writers have not only charted the course of French literature but have also enriched global literary narratives. By including voices from across cultural and historical contexts, the anthology provides a panoramic view of how French literature has continually challenged norms, embraced the avant-garde, and influenced worldwide literary landscapes. This boxed set is an indispensable collection for anyone seeking to delve into the rich and dynamic world of French classics. Whether readers are seasoned scholars or newcomers, they will encounter an array of perspectives and writing styles that not only illuminate the human experience but also foster introspection and discussion. With its seminal insights and educational value, this anthology encourages a deeper appreciation of the cultural dialogues and diverse voices that characterize the tapestry of French literature.

    "What was it that you heard about my brother's journey at Bamangwato?" asked Sir Henry, as I paused to fill my pipe before replying to Captain Good. "I heard this," I answered, "and I have never mentioned it to a soul till to-day. I heard that he was starting for Solomon's Mines." 
    "Solomon's Mines?" ejaculated both my hearers at once. "Where are they?" ... 
    And so begins the adventure of Allan Quatermain, Sir Henry Curtis and Captain Good as they penetrate into the unknown regions of South Africa in search of a missing brother, and the fabulous wealth, said to still reside in "King Solomon's Mines".

    Stefan Zweig was born on the 28th November 1881 in Vienna, then part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and into a wealthy Jewish family with interests in banking and textiles. 
     
    He studied philosophy at the University of Vienna and achieved his degree in 1904. 
     
    Zweig first published in 1900 and two decades later was a popular and highly regarded author in many parts of the world, although not in England.    
     
    During the Great War he served in the Archives of the Ministry of War and supported Austria's war effort through his writings in the ‘Neue Freie Presse’.  Whilst his work praised his Country’s progress and, on occasions, its excesses and massacres, he later claimed, in his memoir, that he was a pacifist. 
     
    In 1912 he began an affair with the married, and mother or two, Friderike Maria von Winternitz, but it was only in 1920 that circumstances allowed them to marry.  She took care of much of his business interests and supported him artistically.  In this decade too many of his most famous works including the short stories; ‘Amok’, and ‘Letter from an Unknown Woman’ (filmed in 1948 by Max Ophüls), novels; ‘Confusion of Feelings’ and biographies including that on Marie Antoinette (filmed by MGM in 1938) were published. 
     
    He was also the librettist with Richard Strauss of two operas and a keen collector of autographed musical manuscripts.  His collection of over two hundred pieces was later donated to the British Library.  
     
    In 1934, Zweig, as a Jew, and finding life very difficult under his anti-Semitic government and the neighbouring Nazi’s persuaded him to leave Austria for England.   
     
    In 1940 Zweig, now divorced and married to his second wife, and former secretary, Lotte Altmann, left London and via New York moved to Petrópolis, a German-colonized town 50 miles north of Rio de Janeiro in Brazil.  Although he continued to write he became, along with his wife, increasingly depressed about the situation in Europe and the future for humanity,  
     
    His memoir ‘The World of Yesterday’ was completed on the 22nd February 1942. 
     
    The following day the Zweig’s were found in their house dead of a barbiturate overdose, holding each other’s hand.  He was 60.
