Als der Baron seine junge Gattin während des Balls mit einem anderen Mann erwischt, reagiert er kühl: Erst auf dem Heimweg verkündet er ihr, dass er sich von ihr trennen wird. Er verlangt von ihr, kein Aufsehen zu erreen; die Gattin willigt ein. Jahre später trifft der nun deutlich gealterte Baron seine Gattin im Zug wieder - und ist entzückt von der strahlenden Schönheit, die ihm gegenüber im Zugabteil sitzt. Könnte das etwa seine Frau sein, die er seit sechs Jahren nicht mehr gesehen hat? Sie ist es - und der Baron macht sich daran, sie wieder zu gewinnen.

El protagonista de esta novela es uno de los personajes más memorables de la literatura norteamericana: Ignatius Reilly –una mezcla de Oliver Hardy delirante, Don Quijote adiposo y Tomás de Aquino perverso, reunidos en una persona–, que a los treinta años aún vive con su estrafalaria madre, ocupado en escribir una extensa y demoledora denuncia contra nuestro siglo, tan carente de «teología y geometría» como de "decencia y buen gusto"; un alegato desquiciado contra una sociedad desquiciada.

Este relato corto cuestiona la moralidad de dos amigos dublineses, Lenehan y Corley. Mientras deambulan por las calles de Dublín, su diálogo revela un plan: Corley ha convencido a su enamorada, una criada, para que robe de sus empleadores y le dé el dinero a él. Lenehan, es partícipe del plan. Joyce pinta con detalle la atmósfera urbana y captura el lenguaje vivo de la calle. El relato culmina con la anticipación tensa de Lenehan por la señal de éxito de Corley, que llega cuando este último finalmente exhibe un objeto robado, simbolizando la corrupción y la explotación en las relaciones humanas.

Oscar Wilde - Dandy, Schriftsteller, Star der Londoner Society und gefeierter Bühnenautor des Fin de siècle - nimmt mit Dorian Gray auf geradezu tragische Weise Stationen seines eigenen Lebens vorweg. Der schöne junge Dorian bezaubert den Maler Basil Hallward und erliegt seinerseits dem Einfluss des geistreichen und zynischen Adeligen, Lord Henry. Als Basil ein Porträt von Dorian anfertigt, wünscht er sich selbstverliebt, dass nicht er, sondern das Porträt altern soll. Sein Wunsch wird erfüllt. Dorian führt ein zügelloses Leben, stürzt Menschen in Abgründe und lebt selber alterslos und unbeschadet weiter - zumindest eine Zeit lang.

One of Jane Austen’s most beloved works, Pride and Prejudice, is vividly brought to life by Academy Award nominee Rosamund Pike ( Gone Girl). In her bright and energetic performance of this British classic, she expertly captures Austen’s signature wit and tone. Her attention to detail, her literary background, and her performance in the 2005 feature film version of the novel provide the perfect foundation from which to convey the story of Elizabeth Bennet, her four sisters, and the inimitable Mr. Darcy.

The modern audience hasn't had a chance to truly appreciate the unknowing dread that readers would have felt when reading Bram Stoker's original 1897 manuscript. Most modern productions employ campiness or sound effects to try to bring back that gothic tension, but we've tried something different. By returning to Stoker's original storytelling structure - a series of letters and journal entries voiced by Jonathan Harker, Dr. Van Helsing, and other characters - with an all-star cast of narrators, we've sought to recapture its originally intended horror and power.

Story
Often considered one of the first ever psychological thrillers, Crime and Punishment is a gripping tale of a poverty-stricken young man in Saint Petersburg, Russia, who hatches a plan to kill someone for money. Once the deed is done, he finds himself racked with guilt, confusion and disgust for his act. In this new recording, Will Poulter gives new life to the troubled protagonist, Rodion Raskolnikov, in a performance that will have you questioning where we draw the line between right and wrong.

Story
Emma can be enjoyed as a charming love story, a detective story, and a comic and lively picture of English life 200 years ago. Austen's beautiful, clever, wilful but fallible heroine Emma Woodhouse believes she knows best. Perfectly content with her life she sees no need for either love or marriage, yet nothing pleases her more than meddling in the romantic lives of others.
Written by: Jane Austen
