• The purpose of this book, according to Einstein himself, is "to give an exact insight into the theory of Relativity to those readers who, from a general scientific and philosophical point of view, are intrigued by the idea but are unfamiliar with the mathematical tools of theoretical physics. Outside of physics institutes, few people in the field knew who Einstein was, he wrote the book on relativity in 1916 when he wrote the book. He immediately set out to share his enthusiasm with as large a public as possible in this well-known and approachable book after finishing his magnum opus, The General Theory of Relativity, which offered a brand-new theory of gravity and promised a fresh viewpoint on the cosmos as a whole. Relativity has a new preface written by best-selling scientific author Nigel Calder in this version, which is being released for the first time as a Penguin Classic. The 1915 publication of the theory by Einstein built upon his prior 1905 theory of special relativity. Although it claimed that space and time are inexorably linked, special relativity did not take gravity into account.

• The Alchemist is a comedy written by English dramatist Ben Jonson. It is usually regarded as Jonson's best and most recognizable comedy, and Samuel Taylor Coleridge thought it had one of the three most flawless storylines in literature when it was first played in 1610 by the King's Men. Aside from a brief period of neglect during the Victorian era, the play's deft fulfillment of the classical units and realistic portrayal of human foolishness have made it one of the few Renaissance dramas (aside from Shakespeare's plays) with an ongoing existence on stage. It is the first time he has applied his traditional understanding of theater to a setting in modern-day London. A gentleman named Lovewit is forced to leave London briefly due to the plague. He leaves his butler, Jeremy, in charge of his plague-damaged home. Jeremy transforms himself into "Captain Face," and enlists the aid of Subtle, a fellow conman. Dapper is blindfolded and subjected to 'fairy' humiliations by the Anabaptists. Returning Dapper is assured that he will soon meet the Fairy Queen. Mammon is introduced to Dol, who has been told that Dol is a nobleman's sister who has gone mad.

• The novel ''Daisy Miller'' by Sir Henry James first appeared in The Cornhill Magazine in June-July 1878 and was published as a book the following year. It features Daisy Miller, a beautiful American girl, being courted by Winterbourne, a sophisticated member of her country. Her flirtatiousness, which is frowned upon by the other expatriates when they gather in Switzerland and Italy, hinders his pursuit of her. In Vevey, Switzerland, Frederick Winterbourne and Annie "Daisy" Miller first cross paths. The novel presents a scenario of Winterbourne allegedly vacationing from his studies (an attachment to an older lady is rumored) They are introduced by Randolph Miller, Daisy's nine-year-old brother. Daisy Miller is described as a flower in full bloom, without inhibitions, and in the springtime of her life. Henry James uses Daisy's story to talk about the stereotypes he thinks Americans and Europeans have of one another as well as the prejudices that exist in all cultures. Novelist Henry James' Winterbourne is torn between attachment and his suffocating social milieu. The novella's final act has yet to unfold, but we cannot help but conclude that the real tragedy lies here in Winterbourne's relief over Daisy's behavior.

• Written by J.H. Patterson, The Man-Eaters of Tsavo and Other East African Adventures is a semi-autobiographical book. Patterson, a natural narrator, engages us in the horror of the laborers' fear and his own endeavors to track the monster, which would end up killing approximately 130 individuals before Patterson took them out. This real-life adventure will keep the fans of both fiction and non-fiction transfixed. The Man-Eaters of Tsavo describes Patterson's encounters while overseeing the development of a railroad bridge in Kenya. The title of the book comes from the lions which killed Patterson's workers and which Patterson ultimately killed. Following the demise of the lions, the book recounts the bridge's completion despite additional difficulties (like a fierce flood) as well as numerous accounts concerning local wildlife, nearby tribes, the uncovering of the man-eater's cave, and different hunting expeditions. The book has been adapted to film three times:  a 1952 three-dimensional film named Bwana Fiend, a monochrome, English film of the 1950s, and a 1996 variety form called The Phantom and the Murkiness. The book also incorporates photos taken by Patterson at the time of railway construction; local tribes; the workers; landscape and wildlife; and the man-eaters.

• Henry James' novel The Portrait of a Lady Volume ii was first made available as a serial in The Atlantic Monthly and also in Macmillan's Magazine in the years 1880-1881 before being printed as a book in that same year. It is quite possibly one of James' most well-known long novels and is hailed by critics as one of his best works to date. The Portrait of Lady Volume II starts off in Rome where Isabel is seen rejecting Lord Warburton in the opening chapters while also being chased by Gilbert Osmond, the American expatriate she meets in the first volume of the novel. The book takes place in Europe, primarily in England and Italy, like the majority of James's works. The sequel majorly focuses on Isabel's life after her marriage to Gilbert Osmond and explores her relationship with Osmond's apparent daughter from his first marriage, Pansy. The novel gives the readers an open ending where they are free to interpret whether Isabel chooses to stay by Osmond's side in her loveless and abusive marriage or whether she rescues Pansy and leaves Osmond along with her. Isabel's tale of love and betrayal still touches audiences today because of its extreme poignancy.

• Henry James' novel The Portrait of a Lady I was first made available as a serial in The Atlantic Monthly and also in Macmillan's Magazine in the years 1880-1881 before being printed as a book in that same year. It is quite possibly one of James' most well-known long novels and is hailed by critics as one of his best works. The Portrait of a Lady tells the tale of Isabel Archer, an adventurous young American woman who finds it difficult to "confront her destiny". She receives a sizable inheritance from her uncle and later falls prey to the plotting of two American expats. It takes place in Europe, primarily in England and Italy, like the majority of James's works. The subjects of individual freedom, accountability, and treachery are also dealt with in a significant manner. It is expected that Isabel Archer, a stunning and vivacious American, would get married soon when her affluent Aunt Touchett brings her to Europe. However, Isabel is adamant about choosing her own destiny, so she doesn't think twice before rejecting two potential suitors. She then finds herself attracted to Gilbert Osmond, who is a cruelty incarnate beneath his façade of elegance and refinement. Isabel's tale of love and betrayal still touches audiences today because of its extreme poignancy.

• Henry James acquaints his readers to his bi-national world of love and nostalgia in An International Episode. The book's principal concern, as in most of his novels, is the cultural distinctions and interactions between the New and Old Worlds. Two British gentlemen travel to the United States and meet two stunning American women, who later return the favour in London. Aside from the romantic aspect of the story, the narrative centers around cultural and social misunderstandings, faux pas, and false friends, making the work resemble a comedy of manners. In this book, James is clearly seen highlighting the contrast between the hospitality of Americans towards Europeans and the unfriendly nature with which upper class English men treat Americans.  The inclusion of characters such as Willy Woodley, Mr. Westgate, and even Captain Littledale, who are introduced into the narrative as people of significance - only to vanish, having made very little contribution to the story, exemplifies the constructional uncertainties. They act as cyphers whose sole purpose is to transport the story from one point to another. Thus, the story does not hold as cohesively and  does not have much sense of thematic density.

• British-American author Henry James wrote the masterpiece Roderick Hudson and it did exceptionally well given that it was his debut novel. Before James R. Osgood & Company printed it as a multivolume compilation, it first appeared in a serialized form in 1875, published over the course of several issues of The Atlantic Monthly. The narrative is a bildungsroman that charts the hero's maturation as well as the emotional, psychological, and moral development he experiences along the way. The titular figure is a sculptor whose talent wins him the support of a wealthy benefactor, altering both men's lives and futures for all time. For Henry James, rather than the plot of the story, the main focus is always on the psychoanalysis of the characters and the inspection of their motivations. This book especially has a lot which can be dissected and compared. The comparison of master and craftsman is very apparent. The gifted and brilliant Roderick is put head to head with a hardworking simpleton. The brotherhood between Roderick and Rowland Mallet is unwavering so much so, that often they seem like opposing halves of a whole.

• Henry James creates a harrowing analysis of society and its workings in The Awkward Age (1899) by exploring the English character and the conflict between new and old money along with a subtle satirical touch. James wrote The Awkward Age around the same time as The Turn of the Screw (1898) and What Maisie Knew (1896), both of which explore how the actions of the adults around young children threaten their innocence. In the beginning it seems like James' main concern in the novel is to resolve the vulnerability of Nanda so that she can thrive in an environment of questionable adult influences. But as the story progresses we see that James focuses on unimportant details like how much one character knows about another or what flimsy prior relationship can arise to disgrace someone. Nanda's parents and their acquaintances are such negative influences that we are led to assume she needs protection at the beginning of the book; nevertheless, by the end, she has developed the same cunning and deceitful tendencies as them. The Awkward Age is one of the most well-rounded and in some ways even the most intimate out of all James' masterpieces.                

• Shakespeare is thought to have inspired only five of the 20 poems in William Jaggard's "The Passionate Pilgrim" (1599) anthology, which was given the "W. Shakespeare" credit on the title page. These two sonnets, along with three other poems taken from the play Love's Labour's Lost, were later included in the 1609 collection of Shakespeare's sonnets. Shakespeare is not who is claimed to be on the title page, according to both internal and external evidence. During his lifetime, two were published in other collections under an anonymous name, and five were credited to other poets. While the majority of critics rule out the remaining poems as not being Shakespearean due to stylistic differences, Ward Elliott and Robert Valenza's stylometric analysis placed two blocks of the poems within Shakespeare's style parameters. The Passionate Pilgrim was first published in octavo, probably in 1599 or possibly the year before. The first edition survives only in two sheets (poems 1-5, 16-18) preserved at the Folger Shakespeare Library. There are still two copies of the second edition (O2) from 1599. It is a collection of 20 poems that were first credited to William Shakespeare and was published in 1599 by William Jaggard.
