The Turn of The Screw By Henry James (Hard cover)
Widely recognized as one of literature’s most gripping ghost
stories, this classic tale of moral degradation concerns the
sinister transformation of two innocent children into flagrant liars
and hypocrites. The story begins when a governess arrives at an
English country estate to look after Miles, aged ten, and Flora,
eight. At first, everything appears normal but then events
gradually begin to weave a spell of psychological terror.
One night a ghost appears before the governess. It is the dead
lover of Miss Jessel, the former governess, Later, the ghost of
Miss Jessel herself appears before the governess and the little
girl. Moreover, both the governess and the housekeeper suspect
that the two spirits have appeared to the boy in private. The
children, however, adamantly refuse to acknowledge the
presence of the two spirits, in spite of indications that there is
some sort of evil communication going on between the children
and the ghosts.

In England that has been shred to pieces by wars, civil conflict and revolutions, Winston Smith survives in a one-room apartment in the small province of Airstrip One. In a dictatorial society where freedom of individuality is suppressed and thoughts are monitored by the Thought Police, the Party makes all the rules, guided by its leader Big Brother. Tele screens, cameras and secret microphones in every home enable the Thought Police in identifying citizens that might compromise the Party’s command. Winston works under the Ministry of Truth as an editor and his job is to revolutionise history by rewriting records, altering photographs, managing the ‘unpersons’ and discarding original documents in a ‘memory hole’. Winston soon develops a keen interest in the real history of the world and starts writing a secret journal criticising the Party and Big Brother. He crosses paths with Julia, who shares his contempt towards the Party, and they begin their apparently secret love affair by meeting in blue-collar neighbourhoods that do not have tele screens. Believing that they are escaping the Thought Police’s radar, both join the Brotherhood, an underground society that intends to rage war against the Party but they are unaware that Big Brother is always watching. With plot twists that are breath-taking this book does not shy away from questioning the modern world which explains why throughout its publication history, the book has either been banned or challenged as subversive and claimed to be ideologically corrupting.

His unique body of writing much of which is incomplete and which was mainly published posthumously-is considered to be among the most influential in Western literature. His stories include “The Metamorphosis” (1912) and “In the Penal Colony” (1914), while his novels are The Trial (1925), The Castle (1926) and Amerika (1927). Kafka’s first language was Germän, but he was also fluent in Czech. Later, Kafka acquired some knowledge of the French language and culture; one of his favorite authors was Flaubert.
