The story delicately balances the concerns of the Mellstock parish choir with a romance between the village schoolmistress and a member of the choir. Hardy thought well enough of the tale to place it among his Novels of Character and Environment, a group which is held to include his most characteristic work. This edition of the novel presents a critically established text based on comparisons of every revised version, and offers the reader for the first time what Hardy wrote, and not what his printers thought he wrote (or should have written). It also includes many of the more interesting revisions in the explanatory notes.

Joseph Conrad was a Polish-British writer regarded as one of the greatest novelists to write in the English language. Under Western Eyes is a story of Razumov, who unwittingly becomes embroiled in a revolutionary conspiracy when he gives refuge to a fellow student who assassinated a public official. Increasingly enmeshed in the radical`s political intrigue, he betrays the anarchist who had placed blind faith in him. The authorities then dispatch Razumov on a mission to spy on the revolutionary`s sister and mother. A fascinating character study, Under Western Eyes hauntingly reveals Razumov`s preoccupation with questions of decency and accountability when confronted by the equally powerful values of human integrity and moral strength.

A central concern throughout is to show how the theories the authors outline and assess can help make sense of the puzzle of current world events, from the rise of Russia and China, the downturn in the world economy and the changing role of America to the challenges of identity politics and human rights.

`When people ask me what I do for a crust and I tell them that I`m a novelist, they immediately assume that my life is a non-stop carousel of limos, television appearances, hair-dos, devoted fans, stalkers and all the glitzy paraphernalia of being a public figure. It`s time to set the record straight. I write alone, in a darkened bedroom, wearing my PJs, eating bananas, my laptop on a pillow in front of me ...` Her novels are read and adored by millions around the world - now read Marian Keyes` collected pieces: regular bulletins from the woman under the duvet.

In spite of the perpetrators` intentions, the Tokyo gas attack left only twelve people dead, but thousands were injured and many suffered serious after-effects. The novelist Haruki Murakami interviews the victims to try and establish precisely what happened on the subway that day. He also interviews members and ex-members of the doomsdays cult responsible, in the hope that they might be able to explain the reason for the attack and how it was that their guru instilled such devotion in his followers.

For a while, he kept his passion in check, but there was only so long he could postpone his true dream, especially after he met Dee, his moggy-loving soulmate.
