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.

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.

Daniel Defoe was an English trader, writer, pamphleteer and journalist. He is most famous for his novel "Robinson Crusoe", which is second only to the Bible in its number of translations. A Tour Through the Whole Island of Great Britain is an account of author`s travels, first published in three volumes between 1724 and 1727.

This book is not only a beautifully written guide to Britain just before the industrial revolution; it is his deeply imaginative response to a brave new economic world.
