A Chair on the Boulevard is a collection of humorous short stories written by Leonard Merrick. In this collection of charming comedic short stories, Merricks witty insight shines through. Leonard Merrick (21 February 1864 7 August 1939) was an English novelist. Although largely forgotten today, he was widely admired by his peers, J. M. Barrie called Merrick the "novelists novelist." He was born as Leonard Miller in Belsize Park, London of Jewish parentage. After schooling at Brighton College, he studied to be a solicitor in Brighton and studied law at Heidelberg, but he was forced to travel to South Africa at the age of eighteen after his father suffered a serious financial loss. There he worked as an overseer in the Kimberley diamond mine and in a solicitors office. After surviving a near-fatal case of "camp fever," he returned to London in the late 1880s and worked as an actor and actor-manager under the stage name of Leonard Merrick. He legally changed his name to Leonard Merrick in 1892. He later worked his experiences in South Africa and in the theatre into numerous works of fiction. Merricks novels include Mr Bazalgettes Agent (1888), a detective story; Violet Moses (1891), about a Jewish financier and his troubled wife; The Worldlings (1900), a psychological investigation of a crime; Conrad in Quest of His Youth (1903), the tale of a disillusioned man who, at thirty- seven, sets out to pick up the romantic threads of his younger life, it is "judged his most successful work" according to John Sutherland. George Orwell thought that this is because it is one of the few of his books which is not set against a background of poverty.

In "A Chambermaids Diary," Octave Mirbeau offers a penetrating exploration of class disparity and the complexities of human nature through the eyes of his protagonist, the chambermaid, whose diary serves as the narratives backbone. Mirbeau employs a candid and often acerbic literary style, characterized by rich, impressionistic descriptions and psychological depth. The book is rooted in the fin-de-siecle context of late 19th-century France, where social upheaval and the critique of bourgeois morality were prevalent themes, making it an evocative reflection of a society in flux. Mirbeau, who was not only a novelist but also a prominent art critic and playwright, drew on his own experiences in the realms of art and social discourse. His childhood in a bourgeois family and exposure to the underbelly of Pariss social landscape influenced his depiction of class dynamics. Mirbeaus work often reveals his disdain for societal hypocrisy and his empathy for the marginalized, which is vividly presented in the voice of the diary-wielding chambermaid, who navigates the treacherous waters of servitude and ambition. This thought-provoking novel is highly recommended for readers interested in feminist literature, social criticism, and the psychological complexities of identity. Mirbeaus keen observations and the diary format invite readers to engage intimately with the chambermaids tumultuous inner world, promising an enriching literary experience that resonates with contemporary themes of social inequality.

A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthurs Court is a novel by American humorist and writer Mark Twain. The book was originally titled A Yankee in King Arthurs Court. Some early editions are titled A Yankee at the Court of King Arthur.In the book, a Yankee engineer from Connecticut is accidentally transported back in time to the court of King Arthur, where he fools the inhabitants of that time into thinking that he is a magician, and soon uses his knowledge of modern technology to become a "magician" in earnest, stunning the English of the Early Middle Ages with such feats as demolitions, fireworks, and the shoring up of a holy well. He attempts to modernize the past, but in the end he is unable to prevent the death of Arthur and an interdict against him by the Catholic Church of the time, which grows fearful of his power.Twain wrote the book as a burlesque of Romantic notions of chivalry after being inspired by a dream in which he was a knight himself, severely inconvenienced by the weight and cumbersome nature of his armor.Twain first conceived of the idea behind A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthurs Court in December 1884 and worked on it between 1885 and 1889. It was first published in England by Chatto & Windus under the title A Yankee at the Court of King Arthur in December 1889. Writer and critic William Dean Howells called it Twains best work and "an object-lesson in democracy".
