The Day of the Beast by Zane Grey (H.B)
The book is a fierce and stormy (and indeed steamy) melodrama, and an indignant denunciation of American postwar society. Three wounded privates return from the war, too late for a hero’s welcome. One gets the sense that Daren Lane is less a character than Zane Grey’s weapon for attacking degenerate modern America. The men who did not go to fight are all ‘slackers’, and dangers to the town’s womenfolk.

The Plague (Vintage Classic Hardback Edition) by Albert Camus
- ISBN-: 978-8182475861
- Page-: 258
- Editon-: 2021
The Plague is an extraordinary classic that tells the story from the point of view of a narrator of a plague sweeping the French Algerian city of Oran. The narrator remains unknown until the start of the last chapter, chapter 5 of part 5. The novel presents a snapshot of life in Oran as seen through the author’s distinctive absurdist point of view. Camus used as source material the cholera epidemic that killed a large proportion of Oran’s population in 1849, but situated the novel in the 1940s. Oran and its surroundings were struck by disease several times before Camus published his novel. According to an academic study, Oran was decimated by the bubonic plague in 1556 and 1678, but all later outbreaks (in 1921 – 185 cases, 1931 – 76 cases, and 1944 – 95 cases) were very far from the scale of the epidemic described in the novel.

- Hardcover : 197 pages

- Item Weight : 357 g
- Dimensions : 22.5 x 14.5 x 1.7 cm
The Sun Also Rises is a 1926 novel by American writer Ernest Hemingway. The novel is a roman à clef: the characters are based on real people in Hemingway’s circle, and the action is based on real events, particularly Hemingway’s life in Paris in the 1920s and a trip to Spain in 1925 for the Pamplona festival and fishing in the Pyrenees. Hemingway presents his notion that the “Lost Generation”-considered to have been decadent, dissolute, and irretrievably damaged by World War I-was in fact resilient and strong. Hemingway investigates the themes of love and death, the revivifying power of nature, and the concept of masculinity.
