The Waves, first published in 1931, is Virginia Woolf's most experimental novel. It consists of soliloquies spoken by the book's six characters: Bernard, Susan, Rhoda, Neville, Jinny, and Louis. Also important is Percival, the seventh character, though readers never hear him speak through his own voice. The monologues that span the characters' lives are broken up by nine brief third-person interludes detailing a coastal scene at varying stages in a day from sunrise to sunset.

Often regarded as one of Pearl S. Buck’s most significant works, My Several Worlds is the memoir of a major novelist and one of the key American chroniclers of China. Buck, who was born to missionary parents in 1892, spent much of the first portion of her life in China, experiencing the Boxer Rebellion first hand and becoming involved with the society with an intimacy available to few outside observers. The book is not only an important reflection on that nation’s modern history, but also an account of her re-engagement with America and the intense activity that characterized her life there, from her prolific novel-writing to her loves and friendships to her work for abandoned children and other humanitarian causes. As alive with incident as it is illuminating in its philosophy, My Several Worlds is essential reading for travelers and readers alike.

Joseph Conrad (1857-1924), a British author born in Poland (as Jozef Teodor Konrad Korzeniowski), is celebrated for his tales of the sea and exotic climes in which men's personalities are subjected to extreme physical and psychological trials. After some twenty years as a seaman, he became an established writer in 1894. "Heart of Darkness", written in 1898 and 1899 and first published in 1902, is cited in the 15th edition of the Encyclopedia Britannica as Conrad's "most famous, finest, and most enigmatic story". It reflects his own unsettling experiences in Belgium's exploitative "Congo Free State" in 1890, which affected his health severely for the remainder of his life.
