When the Mole escapes from the tedium of spring cleaning and embarks on a new life on the River Bank with his friend the Water Rat, he has little idea of the adventures ahead of him. And the greatest adventures of all are concerned with the vainglorious Toad, who is thrown into transports of delight and finally prison by his love of fast motor cars. It is a hard battle indeed for his friends to teach Mr Toad even a little sense. Kenneth Grahame`s tale of rural life has enchanted generations of children and adults since it was first published in 1908. Формат издания: 11 см х 18 см.

"There, as if it had that moment sprung out of the earth or dropped form the heaven - stood the figure of a solitary Woman, dressed from head to foot in white garments" Walter Hartright`s contemplation`s on the lovely, moonlit road are rudely broken by the nameless and distressed woman in white. The encounter is to change his life, for she is at the centre of villainous machinations which are profoundly to effect him - and those he loves. Through carefully constructed characterization, intricate plotting and masterly skill in concealing and revealing secrets, Wilkie Collins has created one of the greatest mystery thrillers in the English language.

Hailed as the `greatest practitioner of the classic horror tale` by Stephen King, is acknowledged as a master of the fantastic and the macabre. This companion volume to The Call of Cthulhu and Other Weird Stories brings together a dozen tales - from his early pieces `Under the Pyramids` (originally ghostwritten for Harry Houdini) and the haunting story `The Music of Erich Zann` (which Lovecraft ranked as one of his favourites), to more fully developed works such as `At the Mountains of Madness`, where an Antarctic explorer discovers alien creatures, and `The Dunwich Horror`, which takes us into the backwoods of Lovecraft`s native New England to confront our darkest fears.

The Third Reich in Power examines how it was possible for a group of ideological obsessive to remould a society famous for its sophistication and complexity into a one-party state directed at war and race hate. Richard J. Evans shows how the Nazis won over the hearts and minds of German citizens, twisted science, religion and culture, and transformed the economy, education, law and order to achieve total dominance in German politics and society. Drawing on an extraordinary range of research, blending narrative, description and analysis he creates a picture of a dictatorship consumed by visceral hatreds and ambitions and driven by war.
