(P/B) Collected Poems of Oscar Wilde
Εκδότης: WORDSWORTH
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 4655-0187

Wilde, glamorous and notorious, more famous as a playwright or prisoner than as a poet, invites readers of his verse to meet an unknown and intimate figure. The poetry of his formative years includes the haunting elegy to his young sister and the grieving lyric at the death of his father. The religious drama of his romance with Rome is captured here, as well as its resolution in his renewed love of ancient Greece. He explores forbidden sexual desires, pays homage to the great theatre stars and poets of his day, observes cityscapes with imp...

(P/B) THE GREAT GATSBY
Εκδότης: WORDSWORTH
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 4655-0166

Generally considered to be F. Scott Fitzgerald's finest novel, The Great Gatsby is a consummate summary of the "roaring twenties", and a devastating expose of the 'Jazz Age'. Through the narration of Nick Carraway, the reader is taken into the superficially glittering world of the mansions which lined the Long Island shore in the 1920s, to encounter Nick's cousin Daisy, her brash but wealthy husband Tom Buchanan, Jay Gatsby and the mystery that surrounds him. The Great Gatsby is an undisputed classic of American literature from the period ...

(P/B) CRIME AND PUNISHMENT
Εκδότης: WORDSWORTH
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 4655-0201

Crime and Punishment is one of the greatest and most readable novels ever written. From the beginning we are locked into the frenzied consciousness of Raskolnikov who, against his better instincts, is inexorably drawn to commit a brutal double murder. From that moment on, we share his conflicting feelings of self-loathing and pride, of contempt for and need of others, and of his terrible despair and hope of redemption: and, in a remarkable transformation of the detective novel, we follow his agonised efforts to probe and confront both his ...

(P/B) DECAMERON
Εκδότης: WORDSWORTH
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 4655-0204

1348. The Black Death is sweeping through Europe. In Florence, plague has carried off one hundred thousand people. In their Tuscan villas, seven young women and three young men tell tales to recreate the world they have lost, weaving a rich tapestry of comedy, tragedy, ribaldry and farce. Boccaccio's Decameron recasts the storytelling heritage of the ancient and medieval worlds into perennial forms that inspired writers from Chaucer and Shakespeare down to our own day. Boccaccio makes the incredible believable, with detail so sharp we can ...

(P/B) DUBLINERS
Εκδότης: WORDSWORTH
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 4655-0208

Living overseas but writing, always, about his native city, Joyce made Dublin unforgettable. The stories in Dubliners show us truants, seducers, gossips, rally-drivers, generous hostesses, corrupt politicians, failing priests, amateur theologians, struggling musicians, moony adolescents, victims of domestic brutishness, sentimental aunts and poets, patriots earnest or cynical, and people simply striving to get by. In every sense an international figure, Joyce was faithful to his own country by seeing it unflinchingly and challenging every ...

(P/B) A PORTRAIT OF THE ARTIST AS A YOUNG MAN
Εκδότης: WORDSWORTH
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 4655-0125

With an Introduction and Notes by Dr. Jacqueline Belanger, University of Cardiff. A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man represents the transitional stage between the realism of Joyce's Dubliners and the symbolism of Ulysses, and is essential to the understanding of the later work. This novel is a highly autobiographical account of the adolescence of Stephen Dedalus, who reappears in Ulysses, and who comes to realize that before he can become a true artist, he must rid himself of the stultifying effects of the religion, politics and essen...

King Lear has been widely acclaimed as Shakespeare's most powerful tragedy. Elemental and passionate, it encompasses the horrific and the heart-rending. Love and hate, loyalty and treachery, cruelty and self-sacrifice: all these contend in a tempestuous drama which has become an enduring classic of the world's literature. (from the publisher)...

Begun when the author was only eighteen and conceived from a nightmare, Frankenstein is the deeply disturbing story of a monstrous creation which has terrified and chilled readers since its first publication in 1818.

(P/B) AGNES GREY
Εκδότης: WORDSWORTH
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 4655-0140

With a specially commissioned Introduction and Notes by Kathryn White, Assistant Curator/Librarian of the Bronte Museum, Haworth, Yorkshire. This novel is a trenchant expose of the frequently isolated, intellectually stagnant and emotionally-starved conditions under which many governesses worked in the mid-19th century. This is a deeply personal novel written from the author's own experience and as such Agnes Grey has a power and poignancy which mark it out as a landmark work of literature dealing with the social and moral evolution of Eng...

(P/B) THE IDIOT
Εκδότης: WORDSWORTH
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 4655-0219

Prince Myshkin returns to Russia from an asylum in Switzerland. As he becomes embroiled in the frantic amatory and financial intrigues which centre around a cast of brilliantly realised characters and which ultimately lead to tragedy, he emerges as a unique combination of the Christian ideal of perfection and Dostoevsky's own views, afflictions and manners. His serene selflessness is contrasted with the worldly qualities of every other character in the novel. Dostoevsky supplies a harsh indictment of the Russian ruling class of his day who...

Εκδότης: WORDSWORTH
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 4655-0222

Jude Fawley is a rural stonemason with intellectual aspirations. Frustrated by poverty and the indifference of the academic institutions at the University of Ghristminster, his only chance of fulfilment seems to lie in his relationship with his unconventional, free-thinking cousin, Sue Bridehead. But life as social outcasts proves undermining, and when tragedy occurs, Sue has no resilience and Jude is left in despair. Hardy's portrait of Jude, the idealist and dreamer who is a prisoner of his own physical nature, is one of the most hauntin...

(P/B) THE COMPLETE POEMS OF WALT WHITMAN
Εκδότης: WORDSWORTH
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 4655-0154

Walt Whitman's verse gave the poetry of America a distinctive national voice. It reflects the unique vitality of the new nation, the vastness of the land and the emergence of a sometimes troubled consciousness, communicated in language and idiom regarded by many at the time as shocking. Whitman's poems are organic and free flowing, fit into no previously defined genre and skilfully combine autobiographical, sociological and religious themes with lyrical sensuality. His verse is a fitting celebration of a new breed of American and includes ...

(P/B) THE POEMS AND SONNETS OF WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE
Εκδότης: WORDSWORTH
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 4655-0233

Shakespeare's sonnets have an intensity of feeling and meaning unmatched in English sonnet form. They divide into two parts; the first 126 sonnets are addressed to a fair youth for whom the poet has an obsessive love, while the second chronicles his love for the notorious "Dark Lady". In addition to the sonnets, this volume includes Shakespeare's two lengthy narrative poems on classical themes, "The Rape of Lucrece" which looks forward to the dark imagery of Macbeth, and "Venus and Adonis" which mixes ribaldry and tragedy in unique Shakesp...

(P/B) THE WORKS OF ALFRED LORD TENNYSON
Εκδότης: WORDSWORTH
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 4655-0234

ALTHOUGH TENNYSON (1809 - 1892) has often seemed to personify the Victorian Age, he was a poet before it began and his poems endure to speak clearly to this modern one. His mastery of a great variety of poetic forms and moods enables him to communicate such extremes of feeling as "calm despair and wild unrest"; rapturous love: "the soul of the rose went into my blood"; and noble resolve: ...One equal temper of heroic hearts Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will To strive, to seek to find, and not to yield. (From the publisher)...

(H/B) Hamlet
(Collector's Editions)
Εκδότης: WORDSWORTH
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 4655-0363

Hamlet is not only one of Shakespeare's greatest plays, but also the most fascinatingly problematical tragedy in world literature. First performed around 1600, this a gripping and exuberant drama of revenge, rich in contrasts and conflicts. Its violence alternates with introspection, its melancholy with humour, and its subtlety with spectacle. The Prince, Hamlet himself, is depicted as a complex, divided, introspective character. His reflections on death, morality and the very status of human beings make him 'the first modern man'. Countl...

(P/B) DEMOCRACY IN AMERICA
ABRIDGED
Εκδότης: WORDSWORTH
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 4655-0024

Democracy in America is a classic of political philosophy. Hailed by John Stuart Mill and Horace Greely as the finest book ever written on the nature of democracy, it continues to be an influential text on both sides of the Atlantic, above all in the emerging democracies of Eastern Europe. De Tocqueville examines the structures, institutions and operation of democracy, and shows how Europe can learn from American success and failures. His central theme is the advancement of the rule of the people, but he also predicts that slavery will bri...

Εκδότης: WORDSWORTH
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 4655-0102

Gibbon's Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, published between 1776 and 1788, is the undisputed masterpiece of English historical writing which can only perish with the language itself. Its length alone is a measure of its monumental quality: seventy-one chapters, of which twenty-eight appear in full in this edition. With style, learning and wit, Gibbon takes the reader through the history of Europe from the second century AD to the fall of Constantinople in 1453 - an enthralling account by 'the greatest of the historians of the Enlighte...
