Matthew Gregory Lewis

Monk is a Gothic novel by English writer Matthew Gregory Lewis, first published in 1796. This novel, known for its gloom and frankness, has become one of the most scandalous and influential works of Gothic literature.
The plot of the novel tells about the fall of Ambrosio, a pious monk from Madrid, whose virtue is gradually destroyed under the influence of temptations.

Anna Radcliffe

"A Romance in the Woods" is a Gothic novel by the English writer Anna Radcliffe, first published in 1791. This novel is one of the classic examples of Gothic literature combining elements of mysticism, adventure and romance.
The plot revolves around the young Adeline, who escapes from persecution along with Mr. La Motte and his wife, who turned out to be her unexpected defenders. They find refuge in an abandoned abbey hidden in the depths of a dense forest. The gloomy and mysterious atmosphere of this place becomes the backdrop for events filled with mysterious incidents, secrets of the past and a growing sense of danger.
The novel explores the themes of fate, innocence and evil, and immerses the reader in a world of fears and supernatural events. Motifs characteristic of Gothic literature — ancient manuscripts, hidden secrets and the tension between light and darkness — play a central role in the development of the plot. Adeline, as a typical heroine of a Gothic novel, faces trials that test her courage and moral qualities.
"Romance in the Woods" was one of Anna Radcliffe's first major successes and helped cement her reputation as a leading author of Gothic literature.

The Romance of the Forest

William Thackeray

"Vanity Fair" is a novel by the English writer William Thackeray, first published in 1847-1848. The novel, which is a satire on English society at the beginning of the XIX century, describes the life and ambitions of various characters against the background of bourgeois values and moral principles of that time.
The central figures of the work are two women, Rebecca Sharp and Amelia Sedley, who represent opposite types of characters. Rebecca is an intelligent but ruthless and self—serving woman who strives to climb the social ladder at any cost. In contrast, Amelia is good—natured and naive, devoted to her idealized idea of love and morality.
The novel shows how the fates of the characters are intertwined in a cycle of events reflecting the vanity and moral decay of society. Thackeray skillfully uses satire and irony to expose the hypocrisy and immorality hidden under the external well-being.
"Vanity Fair" is not just a story about personal ambitions and suffering, but also a deep social commentary on how social norms and personal aspirations can lead to tragedy and the loss of genuine human values.

Vanity Fair

James Joyce

"Ulysses" is a novel by Irish writer James Joyce, first published in 1922. This outstanding example of modernist literature is one of the most influential and complex works of the 20th century.
The novel is a reworking of Homer's epic work "The Odyssey", transferred into the context of one day — June 16, 1904 — in the life of an ordinary man named Leopold Bloom in Dublin. This day, known as "Bloomsday", includes the events and experiences of various characters, mainly Leopold Bloom, his wife Molly and the young writer Stephen Dedalus.
"Ulysses" has a unique structure and style: each of its 18 episodes is made in a different literary technique, from stream of consciousness and internal monologue to parodies and mythological allusions. The work focuses on the daily life and inner experiences of the characters, which allows Joyce to explore the themes of consciousness, identity, morality and art.
Despite the apparent simplicity of the plot, the novel is riddled with deep philosophical reflections and experiments with language. "Ulysses" questions traditional forms of storytelling, exploring the complexity of human experience and transforming it into an epic chronicle of a single day.
