Mystery

Synopsis Jane Austen is perhaps the best-loved of all English novelists. Her knowledge of human nature is remarkable, and her awareness of the importance of class, money and appearances makes her a peculiarly modern author. She addresses the politics of dating, courtship and mating with an incisive intelligence that both foreshadows and outstrips romantic novels of today. Her teasing novels of gentle worldliness have been brought to new audiences by modern film and television productions, and this complete edition of her full-length novels - Sense and Sensibility, Persuasion, Pride and Prejudice, Emma, Mansfield Park, and Northanger Abbey - will be a welcome addition to any library or collection of books. This edition contains the delightful illustrations of Hugh Thomson, the finest illustrator of Jane Austen's works. Biography Jane Austen's delightful, carefully wrought novels of manners remain surprisingly relevant, nearly 200 years after they were first published. Her novels -- Pride and Prejudice and Emma among them -- are those rare books that offer us a glimpse at the mores of a specific period while addressing the complexities of love, honor, and responsibility that still intrigue us today.

Literature & Fiction

Classics

This book contains all the investigations and adventures of the world?s most popular detective. Follow the illustrious career of this quintessential British hero from his university days to his final case. His efforts to uncover the truth take him all over the world and into conflict with all manner of devious criminals.

Malory's majestic account of the Arthurian legends was one of England's first printed books, and has remained an inspiration for readers and writers down the centuries since it was first published by William Caxton in 1485. His eight tales share common characters and a common interest in the themes of love, chivalry and religion as they tell of the knights of the Round Table, their quests, their betrayals and, finally, the death of King Arthur and the disbandment of the Fellowship.
This magnificent and evocative edition is based on the 1893 edition, decorated and illustrated by Aubrey Beardsley.

Hugh Thomson [Illustrator]

This beautifully designed hardcover edition contains the complete novels of Great Expectations, David Copperfield, Oliver Twist, and A Christmas Carol. This book contains the original illustrations, and this beautiful collection of Dickens’s masterpieces is a perfect gift for classic literature lovers and collectors. Charles Dickens had a hard childhood, with a bankrupt father, little schooling and a miserable time in a blacking factory sticking labels on tins of boot polish. This is reflected in his three great novels of personal development, David Copperfield, Great Expectations, and Oliver Twist. A Christmas Carol is both a ghost story and a moral tale that has defined the pattern of Christmas celebrations from Victorian to modern times. These four books in one volume represent much of Dickens' finest writing. Great Expectations was the only one of these books not to be illustrated under the author's direction, but shortly after his death his publishers commissioned F.W. Pailthorpe to prepare the illustrations that are reproduced here. David Copperfield is illustrated by H.K. Brown, Oliver Twist by George Cruikshank, and A Christmas Carol by John Leech, the original illustrators of the books.

DICKENS., CHARLES

Playwright, novelist, essayist, poet and epigrammatist, Oscar Wilde was Ireland's greatest and most inspired wit. Renowned equally for his espousal of aestheticism and art for art's sake, he became notorious for his affairs with Lord Alfred Douglas and others. Today he is remembered for the brilliance of his writing, and this complete edition of his works contains all his plays, his only novel, The Portrait of Dorian Gray, as well as his essays, poems and stories for children, The Happy Prince and Other Tales, and his more worldly stories for adults, Lord Arthur Savile's Crime and Other Stories. The juxtaposition of his jeux d'esprits such as The Soul of Man under Socialism and The Portrait of Mr. W.H. contrast sharply with The Ballad of Reading Gaol and De Profundis, while Lady Windermere's Fan, A Woman of No Importance, An Ideal Husband and The Importance of Being Earnest still enchant readers and theatre audiences today.
