With an Introduction and Notes by Sara Haslam, Department of English, The Open University. The Good Soldier is a masterpiece of twentieth-century fiction, an inspiration for many later, distinguished writers, including Graham Greene. Set before the First World War, it tells the tale of two wealthy and sophisticated couples, one English, one American, as they travel, socialise, and take the waters in the spa towns of Europe. They are 'playing the game', in style. That game has begun to unravel, however, and with compelling attention to the comic, as well as the tragic, results the American narrator reveals his growing awareness of the sexual intrigues and emotional betrayals that lie behind its facade.

This collection is a must for all readers who love science fiction and for those who are interested in the early development of the genre.
“我是想说,我没有办法带你去那些情侣都会去的地方,游乐场、公园都不行,可能,我们的约会……会很无聊吧。”在关系没有公开之前,他们的约会地点的选择,恐怕少得可怜。 “嗯……约会你会去吗?”向葵歪着脑袋问他。 “我和你的约会,我当然会去。”哲哉觉得她的问题很无聊。 “可以牵手吗?”她继续问。 没有狗仔的情况下——“大概……可以吧。”他说。 “可以KISS吗?”再问。 没有第三者在场的话——“大概……也可以吧。”再回答。 “那就够了嘛!情侣会做的事情我们都会做,那就足够了。”向葵眨了眨清澈的双眼,一脸的满足。 “葵!”哲哉忽然叫她。 “啥?”向葵抬头,正对上他蓦然凑近的脸。 “扑通扑通——”心脏的跳动顿时毫无规律地加快了速度,现在的这个气氛,

Our Mutual Friend, Dickens' last complete novel, gives one of his most comprehensive and penetrating accounts of Victorian society. Its vision of a culture stifled by materialistic values emerges not just through its central narratives, but through its apparently incidental characters and scenes. The chief of its several plots centres on John Harmon who returns to England as his father's heir. He is believed drowned under suspicious circumstances - a situation convenient to his wish for anonymity until he can evaluate Bella Wilfer whom he must marry to secure his inheritance. The story is filled with colourful characters and incidents - the faded aristocrats and parvenus gathered at the Veneering's dinner table, Betty Higden and her terror of the workhouse and the greedy plottings of Silas Wegg.
