Bardell v. Pickwick (Illustrated Edition) (Dodo Press)
Charles John Huffam Dickens (1812-1870), also known as "Boz," was the foremost English novelist of the Victorian era, as well as a vigorous social campaigner. Considered one of the English language's greatest writers, he was acclaimed for his rich storytelling and memorable characters, and achieved massive worldwide popularity in his lifetime. The popularity of his novels and short stories has meant that not one has ever gone out of print. Dickens wrote serialised novels, the usual format for fiction at the time, and each new part of his stories was eagerly anticipated by the reading public. Among his best-known works are Sketches by Boz (1836), The Pickwick Papers (1837), Oliver Twist (1838), Nicholas Nickleby (1839), Barnaby Rudge (1841), A Christmas Carol (1843), Martin Chuzzlewit (1844), David Copperfield (1850), Bleak House (1853), Little Dorrit (1857), A Tale of Two Cities (1859), Great Expectations (1861) and Our Mutual Friend (1865).
Dracula (Collins Classics)
HarperCollins is proud to present its new range of best-loved, essential classics. ?We are in Transylvania; and Transylvania is not England. Our ways are not your ways, and there shall be to you many strange things.? Earnest and naive solicitor Jonathan Harker travels to Transylvania to organise the estate of the infamous Count Dracula at his crumbling castle in the ominous Carpathian Mountains. Through notes and diary entries, Harker keeps track of the horrors and terrors that beset him at the castle, telling his fianc? Mina of the Count?s supernatural powers and his own imprisonment. Although Harker eventually manages to escape and reunite with Mina, his experiences have led to a mental breakdown of sorts. Meanwhile in England, Mina?s friend Lucy has been bitten and begins to turn into a vampire. With the help of Professor Van Helsing, a previous suitor of Lucy?s, Seward, and Lucy?s fianc? Holmwood attempt to thwart Count Dracula and his attempts on Lucy and consequently Mina?s life. Arguably the most enduring Gothic novel of the 19th Century, Bram Stoker?s Dracula is as chilling today in its depiction of the vampire world and its exploration of Victorian values as it was at its time of publication.
