"The Queen of Spades" has long been acknowledged as one of the world`s greatest short stories. In this classic literary representation of gambling, Alexander Pushkin explores the nature of obsession. Hints of the occult and gothic alternate with scenes of St Petersburg high-society in the story of the passionate Hermann`s quest to master chance and make his fortune at the card-table. Underlying the taut plot is an ironical treatment of the romantic dreamer and social outcast. This volume contains three other major works of Pushkin`s fiction, moving from the witty parodies of sentimentalism and high melodrama in "The Tales of Belkin" to an early experiment with recreating the past in Peter the Great`s Blackamoor. It concludes with the...

In this vigorous and fast-moving novel of post-Napoleonic France, Julien Sorel`s plans to reach the higher echelons of society through the priesthood are defelected by his realization that the attainment of happiness is of greater consequence than the pursuit of ambition. Subtitled `A Chronicle of 1830`, Stendhal`s depiction of a nation of smug hypocrites scandalized contemporary readers, who recognized themselves or their peers and felt uncomfortable with the energy, imagination, and sincerity of a hero so patently inspired by their lately deposed Emperor. Julien`s restless energy is fully captured in this specially commissioned translation of one of the world`s great novels.

Resurrection, the last of Tolstoy`s major novels, tells the story of a nobleman`s attempt to redeem himself for the suffering his youthful philandering caused a peasant girl. Tolstoy`s vision of redemption achieved through loving forgiveness, and his condemnation of violence dominate the novel. An intimate, psychological tale of guilt, anger, and forgiveness, Resurrection is at the same time a panoramic description of social life in Russia at the end of the nineteenth century, reflecting Tolstoy`s outrage at the social injustices of the world in which he lived.

`I made him know his Name should be Friday, which was the Day I saved his I likewise taught him to say Master`. Robinson Crusoe`s seafaring adventures are abruptly ended when he is shipwrecked, the solitary survivor on a deserted island. He gradually creates a life for himself, building a house, cultivating the land, and making a companion from the native whose life he saves. Daniel Defoe`s enthralling story-telling and imaginatively detailed descriptions have ensured that his fiction masquerading as fact remains one of the most famous stories in English literature. On one level a simple adventure story, the novel also raises profound questions about moral and spiritual values, society, and man`s abiding acquisitiveness. This new edition...

``I was jealous of her writing. The only writing I have ever been jealous of``. Virginia Woolf Virginia Woolf was not the only writer to admire Mansfield`s work: Thomas Hardy, D. H. Lawrence, and Elizabeth Bowen all praised her stories, and her early death at the age of thirty-four cut short one of the finest short-story writers in the English language. This selection covers the full range of Mansfield`s fiction, from her early satirical stories to the subtly nuanced comedy of `The Daughters of the Late Colonel` and the macabre and ominous `A Married Man`s Story`. The stories that pay what Mansfield calls `a debt of love` to New Zealand are as sharply etched as the European stories, and she recreates her childhood world with mordant...
