Pride And Prejudice - A Classic Romantic Novel

by Jane Austen

1,49€ + 10% CARD

 Of all the Jane Austen books, Pride and Prejudice has earned a special place in the hearts of the reading public as her best-loved and most intimately known novel. From its famous opening sentence the story of the Bennet family and of the novel&#39;s two protagonists, Elizabeth and Darcy, told with a wit that its author feared might prove &#39;rather too light and bright, and sparkling&#39;, delights its most familiar readers as thoroughly as it does those who encounter it for the first time. Jane Austen&#39;s artistry is apparent, too, in the delineation of the minor characters: the ill-matched Mr. and Mrs. Bennet, Charles Bingley and his sisters, and above all the fatuous Mr. Collins, whose proposal to Elizabeth Bennet is one of the finest comic passages in English literature. And while she entertains us, Jane Austen teaches us the wisdom of balance, the folly of &#39;pride&#39; and &#39;prejudice&#39;.

by George Orwell

1,49€ + 10% CARD

 A farm is taken over by its overworked, mistreated animals. With flaming idealism and stirring slogans, they set out to create a paradise of progress, justice, and equality.

When Animal Farm was first published, Stalinist Russia was seen as its target. Today it is devastatingly clear that wherever and whenever freedom is attacked, under whatever banner, the cutting clarity and savage comedy of George Orwell’s masterpiece have a meaning and message still ferociously fresh.

Fanny Hill - Memoirs Of A Woman Of Pleasure

by John Cleland

1,49€ + 10% CARD

 Memoirs of a Woman of Pleasure, better known as Fanny Hill, is one of the most notorious texts in English literature. As recently as 1963 an unexpurgated edition was the subject of a trial, yet in the eighteenth century John Cleland&#39;s open celebration of sexual enjoyment was a best selling novel. Fanny&#39;s story, as she falls into prostitution and then rises to respectability, takes the form of a confession that is vividly coloured by copious and explicit physiological details of her carnal adventures. The moral outrage that this has always provoked has only recently been countered by serious critical appraisal. Cleland&#39;s highly entertaining book is a classic of erotica that holds a unique place in English fiction.
