Book Description:
When misanthropic Mr. Lockwood rents a house on the Yorkshire moors, he finds himself drawn into a complex ongoing saga involving his landlord, Mr. Heathcliff. It seems that many years ago, Heathcliff—then only a boy who was scorned by others for his gypsy origin—was adopted by Mr. Earnshaw and brought to the family homestead, Wuthering Heights. Earnshaw's daughter Catherine took a liking to the newcomer; though at first they were onlychildhood chums, Heathcliff and Catherine gradually awakened to the indissoluble link of untamable passion that lies between them—a link which was to be sorely tested when Catherine made the startling decision to marry another man. Considered shocking in its day for its uncompromising portrayal of untrammeled desire, Wuthering Heights is today consideredone of the greatest English novels of the nineteenth century.

Uncle Tom's Cabin
Author: H. B. Stowe
ISBN-10: 0543899640
ISBN-13: 9780543899644
Published: 2001-01-19

Book Description:
While scholars today criticize the stereotypical rendering of characters in Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin, in its time this novel was a hugely popular and influential work embraced by anti-slavery advocates around the world. So influential was Uncle Tom's Cabin, when President Abraham Lincoln first greeted author Harriet Beecher Stowe, he referred to her as the "little woman" who "caused all the trouble." Uncle Tom's Cabin centers around the trials of the religiously devout black slave Tom who is sold away from his family; a second plot line involves the mulatto woman Eliza, who flees slavery with her child when she learns she is to be sold.

The Picture Of Dorian Gray (Original Lippincott Edition)
Author: Oscar Wilde
ISBN-10: 1840680172
ISBN-13: 9781840680171
Published: 2000
Publisher: Creation Books
|
Book Description:
This edition, first published in 1890, was later subjected to various edits and rewrites following the advice of Wilde's peers who found the material too dangerous to publish. The subsequent British edition, containing 6 additional chapters, was to become an underground classic and literary masterpiece. The Picture of Dorian Gray remains Wilde's only novel. In his introduction, Jeremy Reed contends that this original Lippincott's edition is both radically different from the later version and far more homoerotic. Arguably, it is this version which remains closest to Wilde's initial preconception. Misogynistic, anarchic, unethical, and overtly homo-erotic, The Picture of Dorian Gray has become a blueprint for subversive fiction and has inspired subsequent literary outlaws such as Jean Genet, William Burroughs and J.G.Ballard. It remains a true classic of renegade literature and, one hundred years on, continues to shock in its disaffiliation from ethics.

At twenty-seven, Anne Elliot is no longer young and has few romantic prospects. Eight years earlier, she had been persuaded by her friend Lady Russell to break off her engagement to Frederick Wentworth, a handsome naval captain with neither fortune nor rank. What happens when they encounter each other again is movingly told in Jane Austen's last completed novel. Set in the fashionable societies of Lyme Regis and Bath, "Persuasion" is a brilliant satire of vanity and pretension, but, above all, it is a love story tinged with the heartache of missed opportunities.
