The complex story of a notorious law-suit in which love and inheritance are set against the classic urban background of 19th-century London, where fog on the river, seeping into the very bones of the characters, symbolizes the corruption of the legal system and the society which supports it. Jarndyce and Jarndyce is an infamous lawsuit that has been in process for generations. Nobody can remember exactly how the case started but many different individuals have found their fortunes caught up in it. Esther Summerson watches as her friends and neighbours are consumed by their hopes and disappointments with the proceedings. But while the intricate puzzles of the lawsuit are being debated by lawyers, other more dramatic mysteries are unfolding that involve heartbreak, lost children, blackmail and murder. The fog and cold that permeate Bleak House mirror a Victorian England mired in spiritual insolvency. Dickens brought all his passion, brilliance, and narrative verve to this huge novel of lives entangled in a multi-generational lawsuit—and through it, he achieved, at age 41, a stature almost Shakespearean.

Canterburyjske priče značajna su zbirka priča koju je napisao Geoffrey Chaucer na srednjeengleskom između 1387. i 1400. Sadrži 24 priče koje premašuju 17 000 redaka, često se smatra Chaucerovim magnum opusom. Narativni okvir usredotočuje se na skupinu od oko 30 hodočasnika koji kreću na putovanje iz Londona u Canterbury kako bi posjetili svetište svetog Thomasa Becketa. Sudjeluju u natjecanju u pripovijedanju priča tijekom svojih putovanja, a pobjednik dobiva besplatan obrok u gostionici Tabard po povratku. Chaucerov rad poznat je po popularizaciji engleskog govornog jezika u književnosti, udaljavajući se od dominacije francuskog i latinskog. Iako se engleski koristio u književnim kontekstima prije Chaucera, njegovi doprinosi pomogli su da se uspostavi kao legitiman književni jezik. Priče obuhvaćaju široku paletu žanrova, uključujući religijske legende, dvorske romanse i raskalašne fabliaux, odražavajući različita društvena podrijetla hodočasnika – od vitezova do seljaka. Unatoč svojoj važnosti, Canterburyjske priče ostaju nedovršene. Chaucer je u početku namjeravao da svaki hodočasnik ispriča četiri priče – dvije na putu za Canterbury i dvije na povratku – ukupno oko 120 priča. Međutim, nije dovršio ovaj ambiciozni plan, ostavljajući neke priče neispričane, a druge nedovršene. Djelo uključuje prolog koji predstavlja hodočasnike i isprepliće njihove priče dramatičnim vezama koje naglašavaju njihove interakcije, prikazujući Chaucerovo oštroumno promatranje ljudske prirode i društva. Sve u svemu, Canterburyjske priče predstavljaju kamen temeljac engleske književnosti, slavljene zbog svojih bogatih portreta likova i istraživanja tema kao što su moral, društvena klasa i ljudska ludost.

Generations of readers young and old, male and female, have fallen in love with the March sisters of Louisa May Alcott’s most popular and enduring novel, Little Women. Here are talented tomboy and author-to-be Jo, tragically frail Beth, beautiful Meg, and romantic, spoiled Amy, united in their devotion to each other and their struggles to survive in New England during the Civil War. It is no secret that Alcott based Little Women on her own early life. While her father, the freethinking reformer and abolitionist Bronson Alcott, hobnobbed with such eminent male authors as Emerson, Thoreau, and Hawthorne, Louisa supported herself and her sisters with woman’s work, including sewing, doing laundry, and acting as a domestic servant. But she soon discovered she could make more money writing. Little Women brought her lasting fame and fortune, and far from being the girl’s book her publisher requested, it explores such timeless themes as love and death, war and peace, the conflict between personal ambition and family responsibilities, and the clash of cultures between Europe and America.

Penned in lyrical prose, the adventures and misadventures of the book’s intrepid quartet of heroes raise fantasy to the level of myth.

But why say more? To use the words of the estimable Mr. Toad himself: Travel, change, interest, excitement!…Come inside.
