Dusty Answer Dusty Answer is English author Rosamond Lehmann's first novel, published in 1927. She sent it unsolicited to publishers Chatto & Windus who agreed to publish it, saying it showed 'decided quality'. It went unnoticed on initial publication but then received an effusive review by respected critic Alfred Noyes of "The Sunday Times" who called it 'the sort of novel Keats would have written', which brought it to public attention and it became a bestseller, and according to "The Guardian" a 'landmark book of the interwar period'. Its success allowed her to leave her then husband and run off with maverick artist Wogan Philipps whom she later married.

Eugénie Grandet Eugénie Grandet is an 1833 novel by French author Honoré de Balzac, about miserliness and how it is bequeathed from the father to the daughter, Eugénie, through her unsatisfying love attachment with her cousin. As is usual with Balzac, all the characters in the novel are fully realized. Balzac conceived his ambitious project, "The Human Comedy", while writing "Eugénie Grandet" and incorporated it into the "Comédie" by revising the names of some of the characters in the second edition, which he also dedicated to Maria Du Fresnay, his then-lover and mother of his daughter Marie-Caroline Du Fresnay, and, as was proved later on, the "real" Eugénie Grandet.

Under Western Eyes (novel) Under Western Eyes (1911) is a novel by Joseph Conrad. The novel takes place in St. Petersburg, Russia, and Geneva, Switzerland, and is viewed as Conrad's response to the themes explored in "Crime and Punishment"; Conrad was reputed to have detested Dostoevsky. It is also, some say, Conrad's response to his own early life; his father was a famous revolutionary imprisoned by the Russians, but, instead of following in his father's footsteps, at the age of sixteen Conrad left his native land forever. Indeed, while writing "Under Western Eyes", Conrad suffered a weeks-long breakdown during which he conversed with the novel's characters in Polish.

Legacy of Cain The Legacy of Cain (German: "Das Vermächtnis Kains" ; sometimes translated as "Heritage of Cain") is an unfinished cycle of novellas by the 19th century Austrian author Leopold von Sacher-Masoch. His original plan was to group various novellas into 6 volumes, each of which was titled according to its central theme; those are "Love", "Property", "State", "War", "Work", and "Death". Only the first two volumes, "Love" (1870) and "Property", (1877) were completed. By the middle of the 1880s, Masoch abandoned the grandiose idea of "The Legacy of Cain", although some of the novellas intended for the cycle had been published.
