"Crime and Punishment" is one of the greatest and most readable novels ever written. From the beginning we are locked into the frenzied consciousness of Raskolnikov who, against his better instincts, is inexorably drawn to commit a brutal double murder. From that moment on, we share his conflicting feelings of selfloathing and pride, of contempt for and need of others, and of terrible despair and hope of redemption: and, in a remarkable transformation of the detective novel, we follow his agonised efforts to probe and confront both his own motives for, and the consequences of, his crime. The result is a tragic novel built out of a series of supremely dramatic scenes that illuminate the eternal conflicts at the heart of human existence:...

The Crimean War was the denning conflict of the nineteenth century and one of the fiercest battles in Russia`s history: pitting its empire against an alliance of Britain, France and Turkey, killing at least 800,000 men and completely redrawing the map of Europe. It was the first conflict to use photography, the telegraph and newspapers, - the original "total war". Orlando Figes` vivid new book reinterprets this extraordinary conflict. Bringing to life ordinary soldiers in snow-filled trenches, surgeons on the battlefield and the haunted, fanatical figure of Tsar Nicholas himself, Crimea tells the human story of a tragic war.

"Tout devait être exactement ainsi, elle le comprenait à présent: cette femme, cet adolescent, leur indicible intimité dans cette maison suspendue au bord d`une nuit d`hiver, au bord d`un vide, étrangère à ce globe grouillant de vies humaines, hâtives et cruelles. Elle l`éprouva comme une vérité suprême. Une vérité qui se disait avec cette transparence bleutée sur le perron, le frémissement d`une constellation juste au-dessus du mur de la Horde, avec sa solitude face à ce ciel. Personne dans ce monde, dans cet univers ne savait qu`elle se tenait là, le corps limpide de froid, les yeux largement Elle comprenait que, dite avec les mots, cette...

Mrs Everett was the last in a long line of gifted Victorian novelists who knew how to grip the reader through the invasion of everyday life by the abnormal and dramatic, leaving the facts to produce their special thrills without piling on the agony. `I always know`, says one of her characters, `how to distinguish a true ghost story from a faked one. The true ghost story never has any point and the faked one dare not leave it out.` From the chilling horror of "The Death Mask" to the shocking violence of "The Crimson Blind", from the creeping menace of Parson Clench to the mounting suspense of "The Pipers of Mallory", these thrilling stories were enthusiastically received by readers and critics when they first appeared, and are sure to...
