Anton Pavlovich Chekhov
In this story, the couple can not find a common language. After all, the wife does not agree with the point of view of her husband. She is capricious and does not want to solve their problems. But then we find hints of a deeper history of their relationship, which can prove that it is more reasonable than we suspect. This is a simple story, but with a very deep meaning.
Herbert George Wells
The Wife of Sir Isaac Harman is a novel set in the era surrounding the days of womens suffrage. The story revolves around the wife of a baking magnate who goes into hiding after his female employees go on strike. Although the hero of this novel Sir Isaac Harman didnt think much of the suffragette movement, his female employees certainly did, and he thought it prescient that he too should do his bit for womens rights. His wife totally agreed, so he locked her up. However, this gesture was to have far-reaching reverberations as Sir Isaacs wife becomes the absolute embodiment of womens independence. The Wife of Sir Isaac Harman is a novel by H. G. Wells, first written in 1914. Lots of familiar subjects here feminism, jealousy, the corporation vs. the little guy. A very very satisfying novel with a wonderfully ambiguous ending.

Sinclair Lewis
“The Willow Walk” is a book by Sinclair Lewis an American writer. In 1930, he became the first writer from the United States to receive the Nobel Prize in Literature. “The Willow Walk” is a short story by Sinclair Lewis. “From the drawer of his table Jasper Holt took a pane of window glass. He laid a sheet of paper on the glass and wrote, “Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their party.” He studied his round business-college script, and rewrote the sentence in a small finicky hand, that of a studious old man. Ten times he copied the words in that false pinched writing. He tore up the paper, burned the fragments in his large ash tray and washed the delicate ashes down his stationary washbowl. He replaced the pane of glass in the drawer, tapping it with satisfaction. A glass underlay does not retain an impression.” Preview.
