Sinopse

In "Henry James: The Complete Novels," readers are invited to explore the intricate psychological landscapes that define James's oeuvre. This comprehensive collection showcases his hallmark literary style, characterized by meticulous prose, fluid narrative techniques, and profound explorations of consciousness and identity. Each novel, from the early works rich with realism to the later formidably nuanced pieces infused with symbolism and ambiguity, reflects the socio-cultural tensions of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, engaging themes such as expatriation, moral conflict, and the intricacies of human relationships. Henry James, a pivotal figure in transatlantic literature, was deeply influenced by his own transitory life between America and Europe. Born into a family of intellectuals, his robust upbringing spurred his astute observations on society and culture, which resonate throughout his novels. His unique perspective as an expatriate contributed significantly to the depth of his characters and narratives, as he navigated the complex interactions between New World and Old World values, ultimately crafting a richly textured narrative voice. For readers enthralled by psychological depth and the art of nuanced storytelling, "Henry James: The Complete Novels" is an essential addition to any literary collection. This volume not only encompasses the full range of James's genius but also opens a window into the human condition, making it a profoundly rewarding experience for both casual readers and scholars alike.

"Greek Tragedy" is meticulously edited collection of the most famous plays written by Aeschylus and Sophocles. 
Aeschylus (525/524 – c. 456/455 BC) was an ancient Greek tragedian. He is often described as the father of tragedy. According to Aristotle, he expanded the number of characters in theater allowing conflict among them; characters previously had interacted only with the chorus.
Sophocles (c. 497/6 – 406/5 BC) is one of three ancient Greek tragedians whose plays have survived. His first plays were written later than those of Aeschylus, and earlier than or contemporary with those of Euripides. Sophocles wrote over 120 plays. For almost 50 years, Sophocles was the most celebrated playwright in the dramatic competitions of the city-state of Athens.
