The Jewel in the Crown is a 1966 novel by Paul Scott that begins his Paradise Quartet. The Quartet novel sequence in four volumes is set in the last days of British rule in India during World War II.
The novella was published for the first time in 1961 in the magazine Novij mir and aroused anger among critics, pointing out that it is only "about the narrow, intimate experiences of the heroine".
The novel The Peasants (1844) is a realistic depiction of French rural life in the first half of the 19th century. The book leaves the impression of a tragic struggle between the old order and new social forces, making it a key work of French realism.
