Lytton Strachey
Eminent Victorians
En Anglais – Eminent Victorians is a groundbreaking work of biography that raised the genre to the level of high art. It replaced reverence with skepticism and Strachey’s wit, iconoclasm, and narrative skill liberated the biographical enterprise. His portraits of Cardinal Manning, Florence Nightingale, Thomas Arnold, and General Gordon changed perceptions of the Victorians for a generation. Lytton Strachey’s biographical essays on four “eminent Victorians” dropped an explosive charge on Victorian England when the book was published in 1918.

A whiff of death
En Anglais – Everyone knew that Ralph Neufeld was a careful young chemist, especially his professor, Lou Brade. That’s why Ralph’s accidental demise due to a confusion of chemicals struck Brade, as well as the police, as highly unlikely. Someone on campus had, somehow, switched bottles on poor Neufeld, and the result was as deadly as had been planned. The trouble was all the right suspects were in the wrong places when it happened…all the wrong suspects had the right motives…and the one person most qualified to solve the crime was already being considered the killer!
En Anglais – A beautifully written book about the life of the incredibly brilliant and gifted D.H. Lawrence. Highly recommend for anyone who wants to learn more of the man and read some of his most glorious writing.
