Sinopsis

This classic by Sinclair Lewis shattered the sentimental American myth of happy small-town life with its satire. “Main Street” attacks the conformity and dullness of early 20th century midwestern village life in the story of Carol Milford, the city girl who marries the town doctor. Her efforts to bring culture to the prairie village are met by a wall of gossip, greed, and petty small-minded bigotry. Lewis’s complex and compelling work established him as an important character in American literature.

    Konstantin Paustovsky was a Russian writer nominated for the Nobel Prize for literature in 1965, 1966,1967,1968.
    Paustovsky began writing while still in Gymnasium. His first works were imitative poetry but he restricted his writing to prose after Ivan Bunin wrote in a letter to him: "I think that your sphere, your real poetry, is prose. It is here, if you are determined enough, that I am sure you can achieve something significant."
    Paustovsky's prose, steeped in nostalgia and quiet sorrow, reaches its finest expression in The Telegram—a story of distance, both physical and emotional, and the irreversible weight of unsaid words.
    The Telegram is not merely a story; it is a whisper across time, a plea too late, a love unspoken until the silence swallows it whole. In Paustovsky's world, distance is more than geography—it is the fragile thread between duty and regret, between those who leave and those who wait. The past lingers in unmailed letters, in the hush of an empty house, in the shadow of a mother's gaze.
    His words do not shout—they murmur, they breathe, they break the heart with a tenderness that lingers long after the final sentence.

    The Awakening is a novel by Kate Chopin, first published in 1899. Set in New Orleans and on the Louisiana Gulf coast at the end of the 19th century, the plot centers on Edna Pontellier and her struggle between her increasingly unorthodox views on femininity and motherhood with the prevailing social attitudes of the turn-of-the-century American South. It is one of the earliest American novels that focuses on women's issues without condescension. It is also widely seen as a landmark work of early feminism, generating a mixed reaction from contemporary readers and critics. The novel's blend of realistic narrative, incisive social commentary, and psychological complexity makes The Awakening a precursor of American modernist literature; it prefigures the works of American novelists.The most famous and inspirational works of Kate Chopin include: The Awakening, At the Cadian Ball, At the Cadian Ball, The Story of an Hour, The Story of an Hour, Désirée's Baby, The Storm, A Pair of Silk Stockings and many more.

The novel blends realism with a deep psychological insight into its protagonist, making The Red and the Black not just a story of one man's ambition, but also a powerful critique of class, power, and illusion.
