The Last September by Elizabeth Bowen
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 316KB
Overview: The Last September is Elizabeth Bowen’s portrait of a young woman’s coming of age in a brutalized time and place, where the ordinariness of life floats like music over the impending doom of history.

In 1920, at their country home in County Cork, Sir Richard Naylor and his wife, Lady Myra, and their friends maintain a skeptical attitude toward the events going on around them, but behind the facade of tennis parties and army camp dances, all know that the end is approaching—the end of British rule in the south of Ireland and the demise of a way of life that had survived for centuries. Their niece, Lois Farquar, attempts to live her own life and gain her own freedoms from the very class that her elders are vainly defending. The Last September depicts the tensions between love and the longing for freedom, between tradition and the terrifying prospect of independence, both political and spiritual.

The Masterpiece by Émile Zola,Thomas Walton Translator (Oxford World Classics)
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 3.2MB | Retail
Overview: The Masterpiece is the tragic story of Claude Lantier, an ambitious and talented young artist from the provinces who has come to conquer Paris and is conquered by the flaws in his own genius. While his boyhood friend Pierre Sandoz becomes a successful novelist, Claude’s originality is mocked at the Salon and turns gradually into a doomed obsession with one great canvas. Life – in the form of his model and wife Christine and their deformed child Jacques – is sacrificed on the altar of Art. The Masterpiece is the most autobiographical of the twenty novels in Zola’s Rougon-Macquart series.

Set in the 1860s and 1870s, it provides a unique insight into his career as a writer and his relationship with Cézanne, a friend since their schooldays in Aix-en-Provence. It also presents a well-documented account of the turbulent Bohemia world in which the Impressionists came to prominence despit the conservatism of the Academy and the ridicule of the general public.
