Story21
From Boston's social underworld emerges Verena Tarrant, a girl with extraordinary oratorical gifts, which she deploys in tawdry meeting-houses on behalf of "the sisterhood of women". She acquires two admirers of a very different stamp: Olive Chancellor, devotee of radical causes, and marked out for tragedy; and Basil Ransom, veteran of the Civil War, with rigid views concerning society and women's place therein. Is the lovely, lighthearted Verena made for public movements or private passions?

This book will make you kinder by introducing you to your empathy and by pointing out what limits that empathy. Not just the everyday kindness of taking out your neighbour's bins - the strong, courageous, moral kindness of fighting cruelty. It's needed now more than ever. Empathy is what makes us kind, but it must be combined with a conscious effort to learn about different kinds of people. A world in which everyone acted on their empathy would be a very kind world indeed. Let's work towards that world.

Step into the whimsical world of The Third Person, a delightful parody that turns the concept of ghostly hauntings on its head. In this charming tale, two increasingly competitive maiden ladies become oddly fascinated by their resident ghostly man about the house, who is far more likely to inspire laughter than fear. This lighthearted narrative tips its hat to the literary past, weaving in a humorous footnote about the Tauchnitz, an unauthorized paperback edition that sparked a comical perspective on smuggling in the eyes of Jamess contemporaries. Join us for a mix of comedy and clever twists ...

Step into the world of The Europeans, a delightful novella by Henry James that first graced the pages of The Atlantic Monthly in 1878. This charming tale juxtaposes the refined manners and perspectives of two European visitors against the more straightforward attitudes of their American relatives in New England. With a touch of humor and keen observations, James explores the cultural contrasts and the complexities of identity in a rapidly changing world. (Summary by Wikipedia)

Catherine Sloper, the heroine of this tragicomic tale set in mid-19th century New York, is absolutely ordinary in every way except for her exceptional capacities in love and loyalty. These latter qualities are of no interest to her father, the successful society Doctor who is constantly disappointed by his daughter's failure to be brilliant, either physically or intellectually. For this reason, he is highly suspicious when Morris Townsend begins to woo her and is convinced the handsome young man's interest is only in the fortune Catherine will eventually inherit.
