Jag har aldrig sett en sdan sommar. Rotmnadshetta sedan midten af maj. Hela dagen str ett tjockt tocken af damm alldeles stilla ofver gatorna och torgen. Forst p kvallen lefver man upp en smula. Jag tog en aftonpromenad nyss, som jag gor nastan hvar dag efter mina sjukbesok, och de aro icke mnga nu p sommaren. Det kommer en sval, jamn luftstrom frn oster, tocknet lyfter, seglar lngsamt bort och blir till en lng sloja af rodt stoft bort i vaster. Intet skrammel af arbetskdon mera, bara en droska d och d, och sprvagnen som ringer. Jag gr gatan ner i sakta mak, traffar emellant en bekant och str och pratar en stund i ett gathorn. Men hvarfor skall jag jamt mota pastor Gregorius.

The Legend of Sleepy Hollow is Washington Irvings haunting and atmospheric tale set in the quiet, superstitious glen of Sleepy Hollow, a place where ghost stories cling to every corner and the boundary between the natural and supernatural feels dangerously thin. The story follows Ichabod Crane, a lanky, eccentric schoolmaster who arrives in the valley eager for a peaceful lifethough his ambitions stretch far beyond teaching the local children. Ichabod is entranced by both the eerie charm of Sleepy Hollow and the wealthy farm belonging to Katrina Van Tassel, the spirited daughter of a prosperous landowner. His interest in Katrina, however, places him directly at odds with Brom Bones, the bold, mischievous local hero whose strength and charisma make him Ichabods most formidable rival.As Ichabod becomes more entangled in village life, he hears countless stories from the townsfolk about wandering spirits and ghostly horsemen, none more terrifying than the tale of the Headless Horseman, a legendary Hessian soldier said to ride at night in search of his lost head. Though skeptical in daylight, Ichabods imagination runs wild after sunset, when every shadow seems to twitch and every rustle hints at something lurking.The plot sweeps toward tension when Ichabod attends a lively harvest party at the Van Tassel home. Music, dancing, and feasting fill the night, but it is the chilling ghost stories told afterwardespecially Broms vivid retelling of the Horseman legendthat unsettle the schoolmaster. Riding home alone through the dark, whispering woods, Ichabods mind becomes a storm of fear and anticipation. Each twist of the road feels like an invitation for the supernatural to emerge.The tale builds suspense as Ichabods journey grows increasingly ominous, leading to an encounter that becomes one of American literatures most enduring mysteriesits true nature left intriguingly unresolved.

The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka is one of the most haunting and thought-provoking works of 20th-century literature. The story begins with a shocking and surreal event: Gregor Samsa, a hardworking traveling salesman who supports his family, wakes up one morning to find himself transformed into a gigantic insect. From this extraordinary premise, Kafka builds a deeply human and unsettling tale about alienation, guilt, and the struggle for identity.As Gregors physical transformation isolates him from the world, his familys attitudes slowly shift. His sister Grete, at first tender and caring, becomes increasingly resentful and distant. His parents, once dependent on his earnings, now view him with fear and shame. Trapped in his small room, Gregor reflects on his past life of sacrifice and duty, realizing that he has lived more as a tool of others expectations than as an individual with his own desires. The story becomes a powerful metaphor for the loneliness of the modern human condition the way people can feel trapped by work, family, or society itself.The novella carries strong autobiographical echoes of Kafkas own life. Like Gregor, Kafka felt burdened by responsibility, misunderstood by his family, and suffocated by a rigid social order. His sense of alienation from both the world and himself is vividly expressed through Gregors grotesque transformation. Yet beneath the absurdity lies a profound emotional truth one that resonates with anyone who has felt unseen or unloved for who they truly are.The Metamorphosis is not just a story about one mans nightmare; it is a mirror of the modern psyche. Its influence reaches far beyond its era, shaping existential and psychological literature for generations. Kafkas strange, tragic, and deeply human tale continues to challenge and move readers around the world.

The Odyssey, attributed to the ancient Greek poet Homer, is an exhilarating epic that follows the perilous, wonder-filled journey of Odysseus, king of Ithaca, as he struggles to return home after the Trojan War. Known for his wit, resourcefulness, and at times troublesome pride, Odysseus becomes the center of a sweeping adventure that moves across seas haunted by gods, monsters, and temptations that test his resolve at every turn. The story opens not with Odysseus himself, but with his household in turmoil. His wife, Peneloperenowned for her intelligence and steadfast loyaltyfends off relentless suitors who pressure her to abandon hope of Odysseuss return. Meanwhile, their son, Telemachus, steps hesitantly into adulthood, searching for news of his father and struggling to assert his place in a kingdom on the brink of collapse. His journey mirrors his fathers in quieter ways, filled with lessons in honor, courage, and the responsibilities of leadership. Odysseuss own path is far harsher. As he attempts to sail home, he encounters the enchanting yet dangerous nymph Calypso, the hypnotic songs of the Sirens, the brutal force of the Cyclops Polyphemus, and the supernatural whims of gods like Athena and Poseidoneach shaping his fate in powerful ways. Through storms, shipwrecks, and divine interventions, Odysseus must rely on his cunning mind as much as his physical strength, while the tension of whether he will reach Ithacaand what awaits him theredrives the story forward with gripping suspense.The Odyssey stands as a cornerstone of Western literature, influencing centuries of storytelling, from epic fantasy to modern adventure narratives. Its exploration of identity, perseverance, and the longing for home resonates across cultures. The poems enduring legacy continues to shape literary tradition, mythic imagination, and our understanding of the ancient world.

The Devil is an Ass by Ben Jonson is a razor-sharp Jacobean comedy that combines wicked humor, biting social satire, and a keen eye for human folly. The play begins in Hell, where the minor devil Pug begs Satan to allow him to go to London and tempt mortals. Eager to prove his worth, Pug believes that corrupting human souls will be an easy task. Yet when he arrives in the bustling city, he finds that people are already far more deceitful, greedy, and self-serving than any devil could hope to make them. His adventures lead him into the service of Fitzdottrel, a foolish and boastful gentleman obsessed with his reputation and desperate to appear clever and successful. Fitzdottrels vanity and gullibility make him easy prey for a host of con artists, courtiers, and schemers who manipulate him at every turnwhile Pug, the would-be tempter, finds himself helpless amid the already corrupted human world. Through its fast-paced intrigue, witty dialogue, and absurd misfortunes, Jonsons play exposes the moral decay of early seventeenth-century London. It is a vivid portrait of an age driven by greed, social ambition, and hypocrisy. Beneath the comedy, however, lies Jonsons deeper reflection on humanitys self-destructive impulses and the futility of trying to outwit ones own nature.The Devil is an Ass remains one of Jonsons most enduring works, a masterpiece of satire whose insight into human weakness continues to resonate. Its influence can be seen in later social comedies and moral dramas that owe much to Jonsons brilliant blend of humor and critique.This edited and annotated edition enriches the reading experience with a detailed history of the period, linguistic and textual analysis, and a thoughtful exploration of the plays cultural impact and lasting legacy.

My Life by Richard Wagner is an extensive autobiographical work that provides an intimate and detailed portrait of one of the most influential composers of the nineteenth century. Written between 1865 and 1880, at the request of his patron King Ludwig II of Bavaria, this autobiography offers invaluable insights into Wagners personal experiences, artistic struggles, and philosophical evolution. The work is not merely a chronicle of events but a self-revelatory document that intertwines his artistic ambitions with the turbulent circumstances of his life. It holds great importance for both musicologists and historians, as it sheds light on the origins of his revolutionary musical dramas, his interactions with key figures of his time, and his unyielding quest to redefine the very essence of opera. My Life stands as a cornerstone in the study of Romantic music and the complex psychology of its most controversial creator.Born in Leipzig in 1813, Richard Wagner emerged during a period of immense cultural transformation. His early life was marked by hardship, ambition, and relentless pursuit of artistic excellence. Wagners initial compositions reflected the influence of Beethoven and Weber, but he soon developed a distinctive style that sought to unite music, poetry, and drama into a single artistic expression. This ideal found its ultimate manifestation in the concept of the Gesamtkunstwerk, or "total work of art," which became central to his creative philosophy. His operassuch as The Flying Dutchman (1843), Tannhauser (1845), Lohengrin (1850), and the monumental Ring of the Nibelung cycletransformed the operatic stage by combining profound mythological themes with complex leitmotifs and innovative orchestration.Wagners life, however, was as tumultuous as his music. His participation in the Dresden uprising of 1849 forced him into exile for over a decade, during which he lived in Switzerland and conceived some of his most ambitious projects. Financial struggles, romantic entanglements, and philosophical explorations shaped his worldview and deepened his creative introspection. His meeting with King Ludwig II in 1864 proved a turning point; the young monarchs patronage provided Wagner with the stability he needed to complete some of his greatest works, including Tristan und Isolde (1865) and Die Meistersinger von Nurnberg (1868).Wagners personal life was often clouded by controversy, not least due to his outspoken political views and writings on race and culture, which have cast enduring shadows over his reputation. Yet, his artistic legacy remains unparalleled. He established the Bayreuth Festival in 1876, a dedicated venue for the performance of his operas, designed to fulfill his vision of a unified artistic experience. This institution continues to celebrate his work annually and has become a symbol of his enduring influence on Western art.Richard Wagners impact extends far beyond music. His innovations in harmony and orchestration shaped the course of modern composition, influencing figures from Gustav Mahler and Richard Strauss to Claude Debussy. His dramatic concepts also inspired later movements in literature, theater, and cinema. Despite the controversies surrounding his ideology, Wagners pursuit of artistic totality and emotional depth left an indelible mark on the cultural landscape of Europe. Through My Life, readers encounter not only the man behind the music but also the passionate visionary who sought to transform art...
