Joseph Conrad was a Polish-British writer regarded as one of the greatest novelists to write in the English language. Though he did not speak English fluently until his twenties, he was a master prose stylist who brought a non-English sensibility into English literature. His story A Smile of Fortune is a masterly tale of misplaced loyalty, family feuds, and illicit bargaining. Embarking in the tropics, a ship`s captain makes the instant acquaintance of a seemingly genial Mr. Jacobus and his irritable brother.

Edward Bulwer-Lytton (1803 - 1873) was an English novelist, poet, playwright and politician. A lot of his works contributed to the early growth of the science fiction genre. "A Strange Story" is a melodramatic novel, which depicts the events leading up to the execution of Eugene Aram for murdering his business partner. When the novel appeared in 1832, it drew mixed reactions: critics condemned it vehemently for romanticizing the life of a well-known convicted murderer, while the reading public eagerly snatched up copies of the novel.

Edward Bulwer-Lytton (1803 - 1873) was an English novelist, poet, playwright and politician. A lot of his works contributed to the early growth of the science fiction genre. "A Strange Story" is a mystery novel, which is told from the perspective of Dr. Allan Fenwicke, a rational materialist. He publically debunks the spiritualist beliefs of his fellow physician Dr. Lloyd, and thereby hastens his colleague`s demise. Soon after, the Mysterious enters Dr. Fenwicke`s logical life in the form of the lovely and dreamy Lillian and the wickedly amoral Mr. Margrave. It is a great and epic story that is full of fantasy and romance.

Полный, неадаптированный текст произведения.A Tale of Two Cities (1859), Dickens` greatest historical novel, traces the private lives of a group of people caught up in the cataclysm of the French Revolution and the Terror. Dickens based his historical detail on Carlyle`s great work - The French Revolution - and also on his own observations and investigations during numerous visits to Paris.`The best story I have written` was Dickens` own verdict on A Tale of Two Cities, and the reader is unlikely to disagree with this judgement of a story which combines historical fact with the author`s unsurpassed genius for poignant tales of human suffering, self-sacrifice, and redemption.
