Hidden Threads in Sherlock Holmes is a fresh approach to the Sherlock Holmes mysteries. Arthur Conan Doyle hid scores of topics in the Sherlock Holmes adventures on subjects as diverse as arsenic and gorse wine, laughing gas and depression. Wanting to offer something for everyone, he added a layer of sports, everything from billiards to cricket. Each mystery is a puzzle to be unraveled. Discover the richness concealed in the stories. "Hidden Threads in Sherlock Holmes, (Vol. 1) is an amazing work." -- Jayantika Ganguly, BSI, Proceedings of the Pondicherry Lodge, Volume 10, Issue 2, December...

The greatest revenge story ever written — now in a brilliant new translation. Edmond Dantès has everything: youth, love, a promising career. In a single day, jealousy and conspiracy destroy it all. Falsely accused of treason, he is cast into the dungeon of the Château d'If, where he will spend fourteen years in darkness and despair. But a chance encounter with a dying prisoner reveals an impossible secret — the location of a vast treasure hidden on the island of Monte Cristo. When Dantès finally escapes, he emerges as a new man: wealthy beyond measure, coldly brilliant, and consumed ...

He stole my life. So I’ma steal his heart. Seventeen years ago, I died in a pool of my father’s blood. My identity erased in order to survive. Now I’m a woman reborn for one purpose: revenge. My target: Lorenzo Bianchi. Mafia Don. Ruthless. Untouchable. Or so he thought. The man who built his empire on the formula stolen from my father. So I use the one art that’s taken years to master…seduction. A glance during a tango. A brush of skin during a lesson. A whisper meant only for him. Now he’s watching me like I’m the only thing keeping him alive. But he switched the game. He ...

John Milton's Paradise Lost is one of the greatest epic poems in the English language. It tells the story of the Fall of Man, a tale of immense drama and excitement, of rebellion and treachery, of innocence pitted against corruption, in which God and Satan fight a bitter battle for control of mankind's destiny.

Molière wrote some of the most durable and penetrating comedies of all time. The Imaginary Cuckold and The School for Husbands are two of his grand farces of marriage and misunderstanding, one set in Paris and the other in the provinces. In The School for Husbands, a tyrannical husband-to-be seeks to isolate his ward, while unwittingly carrying her messages of devotion to her lover. In The Imaginary Cuckold, an enraged husband imagines his wife is unfaithful, but is reluctant to defend his honor.

Albert Camus' The Stranger is one of the most widely read novels in the world, with millions of copies sold. It stands as perhaps the greatest existentialist tale ever conceived, and is certainly one of the most important and influential books ever produced. Now, for the first time, this revered masterpiece is available as an unabridged audio production.

Seven hundred years old. Still the most ambitious journey in literature. In 1308, a Florentine poet in exile began writing about a man who walked through Hell, Purgatory, and Heaven in the course of three days. He was writing about himself. He was writing about Florence, about the papacy, about the men who had wronged him, about the woman he had loved at nine years old and never forgotten. He was also writing about the structure of existence, the nature of justice, and what it means to have lived. The Divine Comedy is all of these things simultaneously — and it has never stopped being ...

This is not the translation you already know. This is the one Dumas deserved. In 1844, Alexandre Dumas serialized The Three Musketeers in a Paris newspaper at a pace that left readers sleepless and booksellers helpless. He was writing, he said, not about what happened — but about what could have happened. That distinction explains everything. His seventeenth century is not the historian's; it is the novelist's: a century of rapiers and intrigue and absolute loyalty among men who have no reason to trust anyone, and trust each other completely. The Three Musketeers — D'Artagnan rides out ...

The novel that invented the modern conscience — complete, unabridged, in a new translation that restores Hugo's full voice. Victor Hugo spent seventeen years writing Les Misérables. When it appeared in 1862, readers across Europe and the Americas queued for copies before dawn. It was immediately recognized as something the novel had never been before: not a story about characters, but a judgment on a civilization — a vast, furious, compassionate reckoning with poverty, law, justice, and the question of whether a single human soul can be redeemed by a single act of grace. This is the ...

A vicious fifteen-year-old droog is the central character of this 1963 classic. In Anthony Burgess's nightmare vision of the future, where the criminals take over after dark, the story is told by the central character, Alex, who talks in a brutal invented slang that brilliantly renders his and...

Renowned poet and critic Clive James presents the crowning achievement of his career: a monumental translation into English verse of Dante’s The Divine Comedy. The Divine Comedy is the precursor of modern literature, and this translation - decades in the making - gives us the entire epic as a single, coherent and compulsively listenable lyric poem. Written in the early 14th century and completed in 1321, the year of Dante’s death, The Divine Comedy is perhaps the greatest work of epic poetry ever composed.

For thirty years Anne Enright—one of our greatest living novelists (Times)—has been paying attention: casting her distinctive gaze across the world, literature, and her own life, and gifting us with her precise insights. These essays, collated from across Enright’s career, take us from Galway to Honduras, from keen-eyed memoir to urgent political writing. Enright writes about the free voices and controlled bodies of women in society: She interprets Sophocles’ Antigone through the lens of the Mother and Baby Homes in Galway, writes on Ireland’s successful 2018 referendum on abortion rights…

When I discovered that my online gaming friend was Leo Evans, a student from my university, I had no idea how much my life would change. On paper, we’re complete opposites. He’s a shy computing student and I’m an outgoing footballer. Yet there’s an undeniable connection between us. Despite our differences, he’s become my closest friend, and I'm on a mission to make him see himself the way I see him. So I’ve been daring him to do things to get him out of his comfort zone, to prove to himself that he’s capable of so much more than he thinks he is.
