EXCEPTIONAL UNABRIDGED EDITION  Read one of the greatest masterpieces of all time in a beautiful edition.  Herman Melville (1819-1891) was an American author and poet from the American Renaissance period. Melville's writing draws on his exploration of literature and philosophy, and his own experience at sea as a common sailor aboard the whaler Acushnet in 1841-42.  Narrated by the observant sailor Ishmael, "Moby-Dick, or The Whale" is the story of the obsessive quest of Ahab, captain of the whaler Pequod, for revenge on Moby Dick, an elusive and dreadful white whale which on a previous voyage destroyed Ahab's ship and severed his leg at the knee.  On its surface, this masterpiece is a vivid documentary of life aboard a 19th century whaler, a virtual encyclopedia of whales and whaling. But as the quest for the whale becomes increasingly perilous, the tale works on allegorical levels, likening the whale to human greed, moral consequence, good, evil, and life itself.  The novel was scorned by critics upon its publication in 1851, partially because whaling and maritime adventuring were no longer of topical interest to the American public - the Gold Rush had shifted focus to the West. But its reputation as a Great American Novel of unquestionably epic proportions grew during the 20th century.  Moby-Dick is one of the greatest works of imaginations in literary history, doubtless the greatest book of the sea ever written.

It presents a moving portrayal of a race on the brink of disappearance and the end of its way of life in the idyllic American wilderness.

Deep in the forests of upper New York State, as the war rages, the two daughters of a British officer prepare to return home. But when, Cora, Alice and their escorts are betrayed by their scout, the renegade and vengeful Huron Chief Magua, their safety depends on the brave frontiersman Natty Bumppo and his loyal and wise friends Chingachkook and Uncas - the last of the Mohicans.  This tale of survival and courage will touch readers of every age with both its timeless realization of an important historical period, and with its powerful action and exciting adventure.  James Fenimore Cooper (1789 - 1851) was a prolific and popular American writer. Before embarking on his career as a writer, he served in the U.S. Navy as a midshipman, which greatly influenced many of his writings based on sea stories or counterespionage. His historical romances of frontier and Indian life in the early American days created a unique form of American literature. The Last of the Mohicans is his most popular work, one of the most widely read novels throughout the world, and it has deeply influenced popular opinion about American Indians. James Fenimore Cooper is today considered the first great American novelist.

EXCEPTIONAL UNABRIDGED EDITION in a single book  Read one of the greatest masterpieces of all time in a beautiful edition.  Bleak House is a masterpiece by Charles Dickens, first published as a serial between March 1852 and September 1853. It is considered to be one of Dickens' most ambitious and finest novels, containing vast, complex and engaging arrays of characters and sub-plots.  Memorable characters include Ada and Richard Clare, whose inheritance is gradually being devoured by legal costs; Esther Summerson, a ward of court, whose parentage is a source of deepening mystery; the menacing lawyer Tulkinghorn; the determined sleuth Inspector Bucket; the realistic John Jarndyce; the childish and disingenuous Harold Skimpole, as well as the imprudent Richard Carstone; and even Jo, the destitute little crossing-sweeper.  At the novel's core is long-running and costly litigation in England's Court of Chancery, 'Jarndyce and Jarndyce', which has far-reaching consequences for all involved. This case revolves around a testator who apparently made several wills.  Though lawyers and judges criticised Dickens's portrait of the English legal system as exaggerated, his novel helped to spur an ongoing movement that culminated in the enactment of legal reform in the 1870s.  This savage, but often comic, indictment of a society, is one of the greatest masterpieces of all time.  Charles Dickens (1812-1870) was an English writer and social critic. He is regarded as the greatest novelist of the Victorian era. His works enjoyed unprecedented international popularity during his lifetime. More than a century later, Dickens is still considered a literary genius, famous for his humour, satire, and keen observation of character and society.  This outstanding novel is a must-read of classic literature and will delight readers of all ages.

EXCEPTIONAL UNABRIDGED EDITION in a single book  Read one of the greatest masterpieces of all time in a beautiful edition.  David Copperfield is the most autobiographical novel by Charles Dickens, first published in 1850. In the preface, Dickens wrote, "Like many fond parents, I have in my heart of hearts a favourite child. And his name is David Copperfield." Millions of readers have taken young David into their hearts as well, weeping over his misfortunes and exulting in his triumphs.  Based in part on the author's own life, this novel is the epic story of a young man's journey from his mother's sheltering arms to the miseries of boarding-school and sweatshop, and the rewards of friendship, romance, and self-discovery in his vocation as a writer.  In addition to its compelling narrative, the great appeal of this masterpiece lies in its memorable cast of characters: the tyrannical Mr. Murdstone - his stepfather; the formidable and eccentric Aunt Betsey; the brilliant but treacherous Uriah Heep; the frivolous and enchanting Dora and the magnificent impecunious Mr Micawber - a character much like Dickens' own father, one of literature's great comic creations.  Full of tragedy and comedy in equal measure, David Copperfield remains the most exuberant and enduringly popular novel by Dickens.

STOWE., HARRIET BEECHER

EXCEPTIONAL UNABRIDGED EDITION  Read one of the greatest masterpieces of all time in a beautiful edition.  In the harsh Puritan community of 17th century Boston, Hester Prynne, a young woman married to a much older man, bears an illegitimate child and is sentenced to wear a red A to shame her. She struggles to create a new life of repentance and dignity while her lover, Arthur Dimmesdale, is broken by his own sense of guilt, and her husband, Roger Chillingworth, seeks revenge.  Publicly disgraced and ostracized, Hester Prynne draws on her inner strength and certainty of spirit to emerge as the first true heroine of American fiction.  The Scarlet Letter, first published in 1850, is an outstanding work of gothic romance by Nathaniel Hawthorne (1804-1864), an American novelist and short story writer. In 1850, adultery was an extremely risque subject, but because Hawthorne had the support of the New England literary establishment, it passed easily into the realm of appropriate reading and his masterpiece was an immediate success.  This enthralling story remains relevant for its philosophical and psychological depth, and continues to be read as a classic tale on a universal theme: the human conflict between emotion and moral.  Referred to as "Great American Novel, this masterpiece of Hawthorne at the height of his literary genius is one of the first mass-produced books in America.
