Beatrix Potter loved the countryside and she spent much of her otherwise conventional Victorian childhood drawing and studying animals. Her passion for the natural world lay behind the creation of her famous series of little books. A particular source of inspiration was the English Lake District where she lived for the last thirty years of her life as a farmer and land conservationist, working with the National Trust. She often based her stories on real places or creatures. For "The Tale of Two Bad Mice" she used her own two pet mice, Tom Thumb and Hunca Munca, as models for the principal characters, and the doll`s-house belonged to a little girl who was her publisher`s niece.

Those are the famous lines of Dickens`s stirring tale of two cities, London and Paris, at the time of the French Revolution. Suspense gathers from the opening scene, the dramatic coach journey to Dover and the rescue of Dr Manette from incarceration in the Bastille. At the centre of the novel are the figures of Sydney Carton and Charles Darnay, both men in love with the doctor`s beautiful daughter Lucie, linked together by fate and by the engulfing terrors of revolution. "A Tale of Two Cities" was written at a time of crisis in Dickens`s life. It is a wonderful love story and, aside from "The Pickwick Papers", the most popular of all Dickens`s novels.

Alexander Pushkin was Russia`s first true literary genius, a writer of compelling poetry and sparkling prose that revealed his national culture with elegance and understated humour. His gift for portraying the Russian people is shown in the Tales of Belkin, his first prose masterpiece, which is a series of interlinked stories narrated by a good-hearted Russian squire. Also in this volume, works such as the novel-fragment Roslavlev and Egyptian Nights, the tale of an Italian balladeer seeking an audience in St Petersburg, demonstrate the wide range of Pushkin`s fiction.
