His best-known novels Animal Farm" & " Nineteen Eighty-Four" are two of the most famous well-quoted & influential political satires ever written.

This collection comprises of Joyce's three novels plus the short story collection Dubliners. Dubliners about Joyce's native city is faithful to his country seeing it unflinchingly & challenging every precedent & piety in Irish literature. The stories in Dubliners show us truants seducers hostesses corrupt politicians failing priests struggling musicians poets patriots & many more simply striving to get by. A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man falls between the realism of Dubliners & the symbolism of Ulysses. The novel is a highly autobiographical account of the youth of Stephen Dedalus who comes to realize that before he can become a true artist he must rid himself of the stultifying effects of the religion politics & essential bigotry of his life in late 19th century Irel&. Written with a light touch it is perhaps the most accessible of Joyce's works. Ulysses is James Joyce's astonishing masterpiece. Scandalously frank it tells of the events which befall Leopold Bloom & Stephen Dedalus in Dublin on 16 June 1904 during which Bloom's voluptuous wife Molly commits adultery. Initially deemed obscene in England & the USA this richly-allusive novel revolutionary in its modernistic experimentalism was hailed as a work of genius by W. B. Yeats T. S. Eliot & Ernest Hemingway. Finnegans Wake is the book of Here Comes Everybody & Anna Livia Plurabelle & their family
- their book but in a curious way the book of us all as well as all our books. Joyce's last great work it is not comprised of many borrowed styles like Ulysses but rather formulated as one dense tongue-twisting soundscape. It also remains the most hilarious 'obscene' book of innuendos ever to be imagined.

Jane Austen is without question one of England's most enduring & skilled novelists. With her wit social precision & unerring ability to create some of literature's most charismatic & believable heroines she mesmerises her readers as much today as when her novels were first published. Whether it is her sharp ironic gaze at the Gothic genre invoked by the adventures of Catherine Morland in Northanger Abbey; the diffident & much put-upon Fanny Price struggling to cope with her emotions in Mansfield Park; her delightfully paced comedy of manners & the machinations of the sisters Elinor & Marianne in Sense & Sensibility; the quiet strength of Anne Elliot in Persuasion succeeding in a world designed to subjugate her very existence; & Emma
- 'a heroine whom no one but myself will like' teased Austen
- yet another irresistible character on fire with imagination & foresight. Indeed not unlike her renowned creator. Jane Austen is as sure-footed in her steps through society's whirlpools of convention & prosaic mores as she is in her sometimes restrained but ever precise & enduring prose.
