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.

“And, in the dark, a thought came to me that no one had ever had before me: I wanted to kill someone, just in order to dare.”This graphic adaptation of Crime and Punishment masterfully illuminates Dostoevsky’s psychological thriller.

In this classic of Russian literature, the hero, unable to quell his guilt and paranoia, falls from a self-styled “super human” to a tormented soul in search of redemption. Both a philosophical inquiry and searing social critique, this suspense-driven drama remains as widely popular today as ever. - Classic works of literature that still have mass appeal today - Dark and edgy stories that appeal to graphic novel readers - Artwork by well-known and highly acclaimed comic book and graphic novel artists - Adaptations that re-imagine the stories, bringing them to life for a new generation of readers

Persuasion
Author: Jane Austen
ISBN-10: 0543896382
ISBN-13: 9780543896384
Published: 2000-10-24

Book Description:
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.

Book Description:
After the young Catherine Morland falls in love with Henry Tilney, Henry's father invites her to stay at their home, Northanger Abbey. In her brief stay there, Catherine is carried away by imaginations of Gothic horror, induced by Ann Radcliffe's Mysteries of Udolpho; this aspect of Austen's novel is particularly notable for her criticism of the flightiness inspired by Gothic literature. Austen's development of Catherine's relationship becomes a continuation of her entertaining commentary on romantic triteness.
