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 following the First World War and is one of the great novels of the twentieth century.

The Little Prince is a classic tale of equal appeal to children and adults. On one level it is the story of an airman's discovery, in the desert, of a small boy from another planet - the Little Prince of the title - and his stories of intergalactic travel, while on the other hand it is a thought-provoking allegory of the human condition. First published in 1943, the year before the author's death in action, this translation contains Saint-Exupery's delightful illustrations. [Wordsworth Editions, 1995]

Introduction and Notes by David Blair, University of Kent at Canterbury. Set in the reign of Richard I, Coeur de Lion, Ivanhoe is packed with memorable incidents - sieges, ambushes and combats - and equally memorable characters: Cedric of Rotherwood, the die-hard Saxon; his ward Rowena; the fierce Templar knight, Sir Brian de Bois-Gilbert; the Jew, Isaac of York, and his beautiful, spirited daughter Rebecca; Wamba and Gurth, jester and swineherd respectively. Scott explores the conflicts between the Crown and the powerful Barons, between the Norman overlords and the conquered Saxons, and between Richard and his scheming brother, Prince John. At the same time he brings into the novel the legendary Robin Hood and his band, and creates a brilliant, colourful account of the age of chivalry with all its elaborate rituals and costumes and its values of honour and personal glory. [Wordsworth Editions, 2000]

Wprowadzenie i notatki Davida Blaira z University of Kent w Canterbury. Akcja Ivanhoe rozgrywa się za panowania Ryszarda I, Coeur de Lion, i jest pełna pamiętnych wydarzeń - oblężeń, zasadzek i walk - oraz równie pamiętnych postaci: Cedrica z Rotherwood, zagorzałego Saksończyka; jego podopieczna Rowena; zawzięty rycerz templariuszy, Sir Brian de Bois-Gilbert; Żyd Izaak z Yorku i jego piękna, pełna temperamentu córka Rebeka; Wamba i Gurth, odpowiednio błazen i świniopas. Scott bada konflikty między Koroną a potężnymi baronami, między normańskimi władcami a podbitymi Saksonami oraz między Ryszardem i jego intrygującym bratem, księciem Janem. Jednocześnie wprowadza do powieści legendarnego Robin Hooda i jego bandę, tworząc błyskotliwą, barwną opowieść o epoce rycerskiej ze wszystkimi jej wyszukanymi rytuałami i kostiumami oraz wyznawanymi przez nią wartościami, takimi jak honor i osobista chwała.

In "The Mysterious Island" a group of men escape imprisonment during the American Civil War by stealing a balloon. Blown across the world, they are air-wrecked on a remote desert island.
