Mrs. Oliphant

Maison d'édition: DigiCat

Synopsis

In "The Little Pilgrim: Further Experiences," Mrs. Oliphant continues her exploration of spiritual themes through the lens of allegory, focusing on the journey of a young protagonist as she navigates the challenges and trials of life. Written in a reflective prose that marries the simplicity of a fairy tale with the depth of philosophical inquiry, this work exemplifies the Victorian era's fascination with spirituality, offering readers rich allegorical content that critiques societal norms while delving into concepts of faith and personal growth. Mrs. Margaret Oliphant, a prominent Scottish author of the 19th century, drew on her own experiences with loss and resilience when crafting this narrative. Often reflecting on her struggles as a widow and her professional challenges in a predominantly male literary world, Oliphant's works frequently grapple with notions of morality, gender, and the spiritual dimensions of the human experience. Her extensive body of work, including novels, short stories, and critical essays, positions her as a significant voice in Victorian literature, one who combines personal insight with broader cultural commentary. "The Little Pilgrim: Further Experiences" is highly recommended for readers interested in Victorian literature, allegorical narratives, or spiritual journeys. Oliphant's nuanced approach encourages not only appreciation for the beauty of language and storytelling but also provokes introspection on the moral and spiritual choices we face in our own lives.

Hogg

Samuel R. Delany

The narrator of Hogg is a Huck Finn–like youngster caught in society’s most sinister seams—but unlike Huck, he passes no moral judgments on the violence he takes part in . . .Hogg is the story of a man—a depraved trucker named Franklin Hargus, whom the people he works for call Hogg—and of the nameless boy who tells the story of three days of unspeakable sexual violence and devastation, which, together, they initiate in a small seaside American city in the middle of the last century. Hogg is a towering brute who makes his living as a rapist for hire. By the end of a series of vicious attacks, kidnappings, and mass murders, the reader will wonder who is more corrupt: the man or the boy.   Samuel R. Delany completed his first draft of Hogg within a day, if not within hours, of the 1969 Stonewall Riots in New York City and revised it over the next four years, though it was not released until 1995.
