    A stowaway on a whaler survives mutiny, shipwreck, cannibalism and a black-and-white island in the far south, and the narrative breaks off in front of a white figure. Poe's only novel, published as a true account, and the reason it has haunted writers from Verne to Lovecraft is that he never explains the ending. Fifty-seven plates of harbours, moonlight and stormy seas by Canaletto, Vernet and their contemporaries carry the tale's long voyage south.

    The heroic story of the siege of Troy is as enthralling today as it ever was. 
 
The Greeks are entering the tenth year of their war with the Trojans, but their armies are fractured and their best warrior Achilles has abandoned the battle on a mission of revenge. Only the death of his best friend Patroclus persuades Achilles to return to battle and confront the Trojan leader Hector in single combat. 
 
The Iliad is the oldest surviving work of Western literature and provides a powerful glimpse into the horrors and heroics of war - a message which undoubtedly endures today. This edition provides an accessible prose translation by the classical scholar and novelist Samuel Butler. Butler is considered one of the finest English writers of the late Victorian era, and his translation one of the most accessible and satisfying.

    Tarzan searches a year for his wife in a hidden valley of Pal-ul-don, where the men have tails and the tribes worship a god who is a triceratops kept in a temple. Burroughs wrote it in 1921 and built the valley a language, a geography and a religion, then gave the ape-man a native ally who calls him Tarzan-jad-guru, Tarzan the Terrible. It is the book where his son grows up enough to fight beside him. Fifty-five plates from Sorolla, Chełmoński and others picture the wild coasts, sunset marshes and heavy industry of the years 1840 to 1921, the world Burroughs was writing from.

Isolated on a remote Bornean mountain, astronomer Woodhouse begins a solitary night watch inside the claustrophobic Avu Observatory.

To survive, he must wage a desperate, bloody battle against a nightmare the world was never meant to see. Master of suspense H.G. Wells crafts an unforgettable descent from quiet cosmic observation into pure, primitive terror. Press play now and plunge into the pitch-black nightmare... if you dare!
