But instead ofkilling it, he decides to take it back to the mountains of Mexico.With that crossing, he begins an arduous and often dreamlikejourney into a country where men meet ghosts and violence strikesas suddenly as heat-lightning--a world where there is no order"save that which death has put there."

Turgenev's masterpiece about the conflict between generations isas fresh, outspoken, and exciting today as it was in when it wasfirst published in 1862. The controversial portrait of Bazarov, theenergetic, cynical, and self-assured `nihilist' who repudiates theromanticism of his elders, shook Russian society. Indeed the imageof humanity liberated by science from age-old conformities andprejudices is one that can threaten establishments of any politicalor religious persuasion, and is especially potent in the modernera. This new translation, specially commissioned for the World'sClassics, is the first to draw on Turgenev's working manu*,which only came to light in 1988. --This text refers to an outof print or unavailable edition of this title.
The Secret Agent is the unsurpassed ancestor of a long seriesof twentieth-century novels and films which explore the confused motives that lie at the heart ofpolitical terrorism. In its use of powerful psychological insightto intensify narrative suspense, it set the terms by whichsubsequent works in its genre were created. Conrad was the firstnovelist to discover the strange in-between territory of thepolitical exile, and his genius was such that we still have notruer map of that region's moral terrain than his story of aterrorist plot and its tragic consequences for the guilty andinnocent alike. Introduction by Paul Theroux
The masterpiece of Joseph Conrad's later years, theautobiographical short novel "The Shadow-Line "depicts a young manat a crossroads in his life, facing a desperate crisis that marksthe "shadow-line" between youth and maturity. This brief butintense story is a dramatically fictionalized account of Conrad'sfirst command as a young sea captain trapped aboard a becalmed,fever-wracked, and seemingly haunted ship. With no wind in sightand his crew disabled by malaria, the narrator discovers that themedicine necessary to save the sick men is missing and its absencehas been deliberately concealed. Meanwhile, his increasinglyfrightened first mate is convinced that the malignant ghost of theprevious captain has cursed them. Suspenseful, atmospheric, anddeceptively simple, Conrad's tale of the sea reflects the complexthemes of his most famous novels, "Lord Jim "and "Heart ofDarkness. "

在线阅读本书 Written deliberately to increase the circulation of Dickens’sweekly magazine, Household Words, Hard Times was a huge andinstantaneous success upon publication in 1854. Yet this novel isnot the cheerful celebration of Victorian life one might haveexpected from the beloved author of The Pickwick Papers and The Old Curiosity Shop . Compressed, stark, allegorical, itis a bitter exposé of capitalist exploitation during the industrialrevolution–and a fierce denunciation of the philosophy ofmaterialism, which threatens the human imagination in all times andplaces. With a typically unforgettable cast of characters–includingthe heartless fact-worshipper Mr. Gradgrind, the warmly endearing Sissy Jupe, and the eternallynoble Stephen Blackpool– Hard Times carries a uniquelypowerful message and remains one of the most widely read ofDickens’s major novels.

At times tragic, at times humorous, but always entertaining and instructive, The Winters Tale is a complex and rewarding work by the greatest dramatist of all time.
