Three gentlemen not wholly useless to their country—a lawyer, a banker, and a cabinet minister—have suddenly fallen into a state of profound ennui. Each seeks to rediscover the comfort of their lives through ‘the tonic of difficulty': adopting the nom de guerre of ‘John Macnab', they take to poaching in the Highlands of Scotland, issuing challenges to three landowners and declaring their intention to take a salmon or a stag on their lands between specific dates. But can they overcome the challenges they have set themselves, and escape with their reputations intact?

Dante Alighieri è in esilio, e non tornerà. Giunge ora al culmine il grande spettacolo "tra cielo e terra" del dramma perduto di William Shakespeare, l’unica penna al mondo in grado di mettere in scena la Divina Commedia e il suo autore. Alleanze, assedi, battaglie, suppliche e tentativi diplomatici si susseguono, ma le porte di Firenze non si riapriranno: il vento dei tempi soffia contro il Poeta, in cerca di rifugio e di aiuto, mentre la moglie Gemma, i figli e gli amici ne seguono con ansia le peripezie.

Under en misslyckad polarexpedition tvingas Sven Elversson och hans besättning att ta till desperata överlevnadsåtgärder. Strandsatta och utsvultna börjar de äta av en avliden kamrat i hopp om att överleva tills räddningen kommer. Mot alla odds lyckas de till slut återvända till England, men det dröjer inte länge förrän rykten om deras kontroversiella val börjar spridas. Plågad av skuldkänslor söker Sven tillflykt i Sverige, bara för att konfronteras av första världskrigets fasor. Han ställer snart frågan till sig själv – är nödgad kannibalism verkligen värre än att döda tusentals människor i krig?

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
When Samuel Pickwick decides to establish and preside over a travelling society, he unknowingly brings together three of the oddest men in all of London: Tracy Tupman, the loveless self-professed ladies’ man, Augustus Snodgrass, the poet who’s never put pen to paper, and Nathaniel Winkle, the endlessly clumsy sportsman. The ‘Pickwickians’ set off in search of new adventures outside of the confines of the city. Along with a host of other colourful Dickensian characters such as Mr Pickwick’s love-struck landlady, Mrs Bardell, and his trusty sidekick, Sam Weller.

Story
Often called the greatest novel ever written, War and Peace is at once an epic of the Napoleonic wars, a philosophical study, and a celebration of the Russian spirit. Tolstoy's genius is clearly seen in the multitude of characters in this massive chronicle, all of them fully realized and equally memorable.

Story
The Trial tells the story of a man arrested for an unknown crime by a remote, inaccessible authority and his struggle for control over the increasing absurdity of his life. One of Franz Kafka's best-known works, The Trial has been variously interpreted as an examination of political power, a satirical depiction of bureaucracy, and a pessimistic religious parable. Left unfinished at the time of Kafka's 1924 death, The Trial is nevertheless a trenchant depiction of the seemingly incomprehensible nature of existence....

Story
Clare and Henry have known each other since Clare was six and Henry was 36. They were married when Clare was 23 and Henry was 31. Impossible but true, because Henry is one of the first people diagnosed with Chrono-Displacement Disorder: periodically his genetic clock resets and he finds himself misplaced in time, pulled to moments of emotional gravity from his life, past and future. His disappearances are spontaneous, his experiences unpredictable, alternately harrowing and amusing.
