******A beautiful tale of unrequited love, In the Cage is a miniature masterpiece
depicting - as in the great novels of Henry James - a moral consciousness torn
between emotional impulses and the demands of society. Working in a post
office in Mayfair, a young woman is exposed to the cryptic but alluring
correspondence of the social elite, and in particular, to lines written by the
dashing Captain Everard. As she memorises the messages he telegraphs,

scandal and gossip a world away from her more ordinary existence...

Last Days of Socrates by Plato
******The trial and condemnation of Socrates on charges of heresy and corrupting
young minds is a defining moment in the history of Classical Athens. In tracing
these events through four dialogues, Plato also developed his own philosophy,
based on Socrates' manifesto for a life guided by self-responsibility. Euthyphro
finds Socrates outside the court-house, debating the nature of piety, while
The Apology is his robust rebuttal of the charges of impiety and a defence
of the philosopher's life. In the Crito, while awaiting execution in prison,
Socrates counters the arguments of friends urging him to escape. Finally,
in the Phaedo, he is shown calmly confident in the face of death, skilfully arguing
the case for the immortality of the soul.

Therese Raquin 1.2 by Émile Zola
Therese Raquin 2.2
******In a dingy apartment on the Passage du Pont-Neuf in Paris,
Thérèse Raquin is trapped in a loveless marriage to her sickly cousin,
Camille. The numbing tedium of her life is suddenly shattered when
she embarks on a turbulent affair with her husband's earthy friend
Laurent, but their animal passion for each other soon compels the
lovers to commit a crime that will haunt them forever. Thérèse Raquin
caused a scandal when it appeared in 1867 and brought its
twenty-seven-year-old author a notoriety that followed him throughout
his life. Zola's novel is not only an uninhibited portrayal of adultery,
madness, and ghostly revenge, but also a devastating exploration of
the darkest aspects of human existence.
