The poverty-stricken Raskolnikov, believing he is exempt from moral law, murders a man only to face the consequences not only from society but from his conscience, in this seminal story of justice, morality, and redemption from one of Russia's greatest novelists. Determined to overreach his humanity and assert his untrammelled individual will, Raskolnikov, an impoverished student living in the St. Petersburg of the Tsars, commits an act of murder and theft and sets into motion a story which, for its excrutiating suspense, its atmospheric vividness, and its profundity of characterization and vision, is almost unequaled in the literatures of the world. The best known of Dostoevsky's masterpieces, Crime and Punishment can bear any amount of rereading without losing a drop of its power over our imagination. 《罪与罚》小说主人公拉斯柯尔尼科夫是一个穷困潦倒的大学生。他受到放高利贷的老太婆伊凡诺夫娜的盘剥后心生不满,于是在一个夜晚杀了伊凡诺

Pride and Prejudice, which opens with one of the most famous sentences in English Literature, is an ironic novel of manners. In it the garrulous and empty-headed Mrs Bennet has only one aim - that of finding a good match for each of her five daughters. In this she is mocked by her cynical and indolent husband. With its wit, its social precision and, above all, its irresistible heroine, Pride and Prejudice has proved one of the most enduringly popular novels in the English language. 《傲慢与偏见》通过几位村镇中产阶级姑娘谈婚论嫁的故事,反映十八世纪末至十九世纪初英国社会的世态风习。小说情节曲折、富有喜剧性,语言自然流畅、机智幽默,以精湛的技巧揭示了生活的悲喜剧。十八世纪末叶,英国小说似乎发展到了一个潴留阶段。从这个世纪之初开始,以丹尼尔·笛福和乔纳森·斯威夫特为前导,英国小说经过亨利·菲尔丁、塞缪尔·理查森等小说大家的昌隆盛世,到

These lively, varied and thought-provoking science-fiction stories (from the era of Jules Verne and H. G. Wells) are linked by their imposing central character, the pugnaciously adventurous and outrageous Professor Challenger. The Lost World (forebear of Jurassic Park) vividly depicts a perilous region in which the explorers confront creatures from the prehistoric era. 'The Poison Belt' presents an eerie doomsday scenario, while ‘The Disintegration Machine’ satirically comments on scientific cynicism. In ‘When the World Screamed’, the planet responds violently to an experimental incursion. The strangest item is 'The Land of Mist', which seeks to reconcile science with spiritualism. This memorable collection provides imaginative entertainment, entrancing escapism and bold provocation.
