Classic literature makes a strong comeback

Recently, the book world has witnessed the "invasion" of many classic literary works, bringing diverse choices to domestic readers.

On the 101st anniversary of his death, Joseph Conrad was also the "focus" exploited by FORMApubli, when the two short story collections Between Earth and Water, The Great Storm and the novel May were simultaneously released to readers, contributing to enriching the legacy of this Polish-born writer. In addition to Conrad, this brand also released many other notable works, including: Overwhelmed (Katherine Mansfield), Gentleman Bitten by Opium (Thomas De Quincey), The Good Soldier (Ford Madox Ford)...

Besides, they also leave indelible marks, valuable lessons about life, about humanity, about timeless values ​​in each of their works."
