Product De*ion Edited and with an Introduction by David Stuart Davies 'The figure of my wife came in... it came straight towards the bed... its wide eyes were open and looked at me with love unspeakable' Edith Nesbit, best known as the author of The Railway Children and other children's classics, was also the mistress of the ghost story and tales of terror. She was able to create genuinely chilling narratives in which the returning dead feature strongly. Sadly, these stories have been neglected for many years, but now, at last, they are back in print. In this wonderful collection of eerie, flesh-creeping yarns, we encounter love that transcends the grave, reanimated corpses, vampiric vines, vengeful ghosts and other dark delights to make you feel fearful. These vintage spooky stories, tinged with horror, are told in a bold, forthright manner that makes them seem as fresh and unsettling as today's headlines.

Ralph Waldo Emerson set out on his first visit to Europe in 1831,passing throuth Italy,Switzerland and France to Britain,and visiting Landor,Coleridge,Wordsworth,and ,most important of all ,Carlyle,with whom he laid the foundation of a life-long friendship.On his return to America,he took up lecturing,and continued for nearly forty years to use this form of expression for his ideas on religion,politics,literature,and philosophy.He published a succession of volumes of essays,addresses and poems.The spirit and ideas which constitute the essence of his teachings are fully expressed in the essays contained in this volume.The writings here produced belong to the earlier half of his literary activity.However,it may fairly be said that by 1860 Emerson had put forth all his important fundamental ideas,and the later utterances consist largely of restatements and applications of these.Thanks to the singular bearty and condensation of his style,it is thus possible to obtain from this one volume a view of the philosophy

This collection, unique to the Modern Library, gathers seven ofDostoevsky's key works and shows him to be equally adept at theshort story as with the novel. Exploring many of the same themes asin his longer works, these small masterpieces move from the tenderand romantic White Nights, an archetypal nineteenth-centurymorality tale of pathos and loss, to the famous Notes from theUnderground, a story of guilt, ineffectiveness, and uncompromisingcynicism, and the first major work of existential literature. AmongDostoevsky's prototypical characters is Yemelyan in The HonestThief, whose tragedy turns on an inability to resist crime.Presented in chronological order, in David Magarshack's celebratedtranslation, this is the definitive edition of Dostoevsky's beststories.

Wilde's works are suffused with his aestheticism, brilliant craftsmanship, legendary wit and, ultimately, his tragic muse. He wrote tender fairy stories for children employing all his grace, artistry and wit, of which the best-known is The Happy Prince. Counterpoints to this were his novel The Picture of Dorian Gray, which shocked and outraged many readers of his day, and his stories for adults which exhibited his fascination with the relations between serene art and decadent life. Wilde took London by storm with his plays, particularly his masterpiece The Importance of Being Earnest. His essays - in particular De Profundis- and his Ballad of Reading Gaol, both written after his release from prison, strikingly break the bounds of his usual expressive range. His other essays and poems are all included in this comprehensive collection of the works of one of the most exciting writers of the late nineteenth century.

"What’s the matter? A mine? Some kid step on a mine? A blessure?" "No. Not a mine." We walk in and there’s a mother standing by her child. It’s a little girl. She’s a very beautiful girl with straight black hair, maybe six or eight, big eyes, a bit younger than Smiles and just as lovely. But she’s lying too still under a white sheet on the bamboo bed and her mother is talking in a monotone, staring off to the corner asking for help from Buddha. The little girl is staring at me, tracking every move I make. She’s so weak, all she can do is move her eyes. Sok Samuth approaches the bed and takes down the sheets. It’s very sad what we see. The girl is inhumanly thin and her skin is peeling off. He pulls the sheet up over the girl’s body again and the mother keeps up her monotone plea for Buddha while the little girl follows me, eye to eye. She wants me to make her feel better. I’m thinking, no, not this one. The whole thing was about this one. It was always about this one.

John Kenneth Galbraith A brilliant achievement. The New York Times If ever a book answered a crying need, this one does. Here is all the economic lore most general readers conceivably could want to know, served up with a flourish by a man who writes with immense vigor and skill, who has a rare gift for simplifying complexities. Leonard Silk Robert Heilbroner's The Worldly Philosophers is a living classic, both because he makes us see that the ideas of the great economists remain fresh and important for our times and because his own brilliant writing forces us to reach out into the future. Lester Thurow The Worldly Philosophers, quite simply put, is a classic....None of us can know where we are coming from unless we know the sources of the great ideas that permeate our thinking. The Worldly Philosophers gives us a clear understanding of the economic ideas that influence us whether or not we have read the great economic thinkers. Paul Samuelson Sinclair Le

HarperCollins is pround to present its new range of best-loved, essential classics. 'My life looks as if it had been wasted for want of chances! When I see what you know, what you have read, and seen, and thought, I feel what a nothing I am!'

It is through Tess's relationships with two very different men that Hardy tells the story of his tragic heroine, and exposes the double standards of the world that she inhabits with searing pathos and heart-rending sentiment.
