The critic Augst Nemo selected seven short stories of the absurd for his appreciation: - A Country Doctor by Franz Kafka - In the Penal Colony by Franz Kafka - Before the Law by Franz Kafka - Ex Oblivione by H. P. Lovecraft - Andrey Semyonovich by Daniil Kharms - A sonnet by Daniil Kharms - Symphony no. 2 by Daniil Kharms For more books with interesting themes, be sure to check the other books in this collection!

Erotic literature comprises fictional and factual stories and accounts of human sexual relationships which have the power to or are intended to arouse the reader sexually. Other common elements are satire and social criticism. The invention of printing, in the 15th century, brought with it both a greater market and increasing restrictions, like censorship and legal restraints on publication on the grounds of obscenity. Because of this, much of the production of this type of material became clandestine. August Nemo has selected seven classic tales of eroticism that are part of the history of human sexual culture: - Daphnis and Chloe by Longus - Idylll by Guy de Maupassant - Beatrice Palmato by Edith Wharton - Venus in Furs by Leopold von Sacher-Masoch - The Lustful Turk by Anonymous - Sub-Umbra by Anonymous - How He Lost His Whiskers: An Episode in the Life of Steve Broad by Anonymous For more books with interesting themes, be sure to check the other books in this collection!

Wallace's literary output – 175 books, 24 plays, and countless articles and review sketches – have undermined his reputation as a fresh and original writer. The author was a wholehearted supporter of Victorian and early Edwardian values and mores, which are now considered in some respects politically incorrect. In England in the 1920s Wallace was said to be the second biggest seller after the Bible. This selection specially chosen by the literary critic August Nemo, contains the following stories: - The Cat Burglar - Circumstantial Evidence - The Ghost of Downhill - The Poetical Policeman - Red Aces - The Four Just Men - The Shadow Man
