In the years since its first publication, in 1983, Waterland has established itself as one of the classics of twentieth-century British literature: a visionary tale of England`s Fen country; a sinuous meditation on the workings of history; and a family story startling in its detail and universal in its reach. This edition includes an introduction, by the author, written to celebrate the book`s 25th anniversary. `Graham Swift has mapped his Waterland like a new Wessex. He appropriates the Fens as Moby Dick did whaling or Wuthering Heights the moors. This is a beautiful, serious and intelligent novel, admirably ambitious and original` - Observer. `Perfectly controlled, superbly written. Waterland is original, compelling and narration of...

The award-winning author of The Babes in the Wood and The Rottweiler brings us another terrifically paced, richly drawn novel of suspense and psychological intrigue. Weeks went by when Ismay never thought of it at all. Then something would bring it back or it would return in a dream. The dream always began in the same way. She and her mother would be climbing the stairs, following Heather`s lead through the bedroom to what was on the other side, not a bathroom in the dream but a chamber floored and walled in marble. In the middle of it was a glassy lake. The white thing in the water floated towards her, its face submerged, and her mother said, absurdly, Don`t look! The dead man was Ismay`s stepfather, Guy. Now, nine years on, she and her...

In this brief, intense, gem-like book, equal parts extended autobiographical essay and prose poem, Brodsky turns his eye to the seductive and enigmatic city of Venice. A mosaic of 48 short chapters - each recalling a specific episode from one of his many visits there (Brodsky spent his winters in Venice for nearly 20 years) - "Watermark" associatively and brilliantly evokes one city`s architectural and atmospheric character. In doing so, the book also reveals a subject - and an author - readers have never before seen.

Walter Scott (1771-1832) was a Scottish historical novelist, poet, and playwright. Although he was an advocate and legal administrator by profession, Scott is most famous for his great literary works and activities in the Royal Highland Society. "Waverley; Or, Tis Sixty Years Since" is a historical novel, the author`s first work of prose also considered his most popular historical novel. It takes place during the uprising of the Jacobite uprising of 1745, supporters of the feudal dynasty of the Stuarts against bourgeois England. The book unfolds a picture of the recent past, which retained a strong connection with Walter Scott`s present when it was still possible to meet witnesses of those events.

The Waves traces the lives and interactions of seven friends in an exploratory and sensuous narrative. The Waves was conceived and written during a highly political phase in Woolfs career, when she was speaking on issues of gender and of class. This was also the period when her love affair with Vita Sackville-West was at its most intense. The work is often described as if it were the product of a secluded, disembodied sensibility. Yet its writing is supremely engaged and engaging, providing an experience which the reader is unlikely to forget.
