Jane Eyre ranks as one of the greatest and most popular works of English fiction. Although Charlotte Bronte`s heroine is outwardly plain, she possesses an indomitable spirit, and great courage.

This title features collected works of F. Scott Fitzgerald. Few American novelists of the twentieth century have stayed as modern as F. Scott Fitzgerald. He gave a name to his age, `the Jazz Age`, but his reputation has outlived it. Gathered here are the five novels he wrote in his relatively short career, together with a number of the many short stories he wrote between 1922 and his death in 1940. "This Side of Paradise" catapulted him to fame, its expose of the manners and morals of a post-war generation becoming a cause celebre. "The Beautiful and Damned", a semi-autobiographical moral parable of a doomed marriage, affirmed Fitzgerald`s status as the spokesman for the generation of the 1920s. His third novel, "The Great Gatsby",...
