The story follows Prince Lev Myshkin, a man of extraordinary kindness and sincerity, who returns to Russia after years of medical treatment abroad. His innocence and honesty set him apart from the manipulative society he encounters, where people view his goodness as either weakness or foolishness.As Myshkin navigates the complexities of high society, he becomes entangled in a web of relationships, each testing his ideals and moral strength. Dostoevsky uses his protagonist to pose fundamental questions about human nature, love, and the struggle between purity and corruption. The Idiot is a moving and thought-provoking novel that challenges readers to consider whether true goodness can survive in a world filled with deception and cruelty.

  Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea is one of Jules Verne's most iconic and visionary novels. It follows the journey of Professor Pierre Aronnax, his servant Conseil, and Canadian harpooner Ned Land as they are taken aboard the mysterious submarine Nautilus, commanded by the enigmatic Captain Nemo. What begins as a mission to investigate a sea monster turns into a deep-sea odyssey through a world of underwater wonders, shipwrecks, lost civilizations, and the hidden forces of nature.With rich imagination and early science-fiction brilliance, Verne explores the limits of technology and the depths of the ocean long before submarines were a reality. The novel is not only an adventure tale but also a philosophical reflection on freedom, vengeance, and isolation beneath the waves. It remains a timeless classic that continues to inspire readers and creators around the world.

  A M Burrage

  Alfred McLelland Burrage was born in Hillingdon, Middlesex on 1st July, 1889. His father and uncle were both writers, primarily of boy’s fiction, and by age 16 AM Burrage had joined them.  The young man had ambitions to write for the adult market too.  The money was better and so was his writing. 
  From 1890 to 1914, prior to the mainstream appeal of cinema and radio the printed word, mainly in magazines, was the foremost mass entertainment.  AM Burrage quickly became a master of the market publishing his stories regularly across a number of publications. 
  By the start of the Great War Burrage was well established but in 1916 he was conscripted to fight on the Western Front. He continued to write during these years documenting his experiences in the classic book War is War by Ex-Private X. 
  For the remainder of his life Burrage was rarely printed in book form but continued to write and be published on a prodigious scale in magazines and newspapers.  In this volume we concentrate on his supernatural stories which are, by common consent, some of the best ever written.  Succinct yet full of character each reveals a twist and a flavour that is unsettling…..sometimes menacing….always disturbing.
