Ardent, impulsive, thirsty for knowledge, Maggie Tulliver is one of the great heroines of literature. George Eliot drew on her own anguished childhood when she depicted the stormy relationship between Maggie and Tom Tulliver. Maggie`s often tormented battle to do her duty and belong on the one hand, and to be herself, wild and natural on the other, propels her from one crisis to another. As the Tulliver fortunes decline and fall, the rift between Maggie and her family becomes almost irreconcilable. But Maggie`s biggest mistake of all is to fall in love with Stephen Guest who is engaged to another woman. Both a sharp and observant picture of English rural life and a profoundly convincing analysis of a woman`s psychology, The Mill on the...

Hailed everywhere as a masterpiece of suspense, John le Carre`s return to Africa is the story of Bruno Salvador (aka Salvo), the 25-year-old orphaned love child of an Irish missionary and a Congolese woman. Quickly rising to the top of his profession as an interpreter, Salvo is dispatched by British Intelligence to a top-secret meeting between Western financiers and East Congolese warlords, where he hears things not intended for his ears - and is forced to interpret matters never intended for his reawoken African conscience. By turns thriller, love story, and comic allegory of our times, "The Mission Song" recounts Salvo`s heroically naive journey out of the dark of Western hypocrisy and into the heart of lightness.

Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792-1822) was a Romantic poet of radical imaginings, living in an age of change.

None of the great Victorian novels is more vivid and readable than `The Mayor of Casterbridge`. Set in the heart of Hardy`s Wessex, the `partly real, partly dream country` he founded on his native Dorset, it charts the rise and self-induced downfall of asingle `man of character`. The fast-moving and ingeniously contrived narrative is Shakespearian in its tragic force, and features some of the author`s most striking episodes and brilliant passages of description.
