In the heart of Paris, where art and ambition intertwine, the boundaries between genius and madness blur. A tale of creation, obsession, and the quest for perfection, this story dances on the edge of brilliance. The artist, driven by an insatiable desire to capture the unattainable, confronts the fragility of his own vision. As the canvas comes to life, so too does a world where nothing is as it seems, and the cost of true artistry might just be too high. Balzac's story whispers of the fine line between genius and obsession, where the artist's soul is as fragile as the masterpiece he seeks.

Dubliners is a collection of fifteen short stories by James Joyce, first published in 1914. They form a naturalistic depiction of Irish middle class life in and around Dublin in the early years of the 20th century.

Jonathan Swift's Gulliver's Travels is a timeless exploration of the human spirit seen through the eyes of an adventurous traveler. In this work, Swift offers a playful yet clear reflection on society without detailing every fact. Instead, he invites readers to uncover hidden lessons through a series of curious encounters and unexpected adventures. The narrative gently nudges us to question the ways we live and the institutions that shape our lives, all while delighting us with visions of strange lands and unusual peoples.

It's a touching tale of a young man who finds himself without shelter or food on a cold Autumn Night in Moscow. The strong opening lines of the narrator set the stage nicely: "Once in the autumn I happened to be in a very unpleasant and inconvenient position. In the town where I had just arrived and where I knew not a soul, I found myself without a farthing in my pocket and without a night's lodging." Scavenging for something to eat around the "steamship wharves," he encounters another poor wretch, the young woman, Natasha, in similar circumstance if for different reasons.

In this series we look at some of our leading classic authors across two genres: the short story and the poem.
