    The Brothers Karamazov, also translated as The Karamazov Brothers, is the last novel by Russian author Fyodor Dostoevsky. Dostoevsky spent nearly two years writing The Brothers Karamazov, which was published as a serial in The Russian Messenger from January 1879 to November 1880. Dostoevsky died less than four months after its publication. It has been acclaimed as one of the supreme achievements in world literature.

Set in 19th-century Russia, The Brothers Karamazov is a passionate philosophical novel that discusses questions of God, free will, and morality. It has also been described as a theological drama dealing with problems of faith, doubt, and reason in the context of a modernizing Russia, with a plot that revolves around the subject of patricide. Dostoevsky composed much of the novel in Staraya Russa, which inspired the main setting.

    Virginibus Puerisque (Unabridged)

    Robert Louis Balfour Stevenson was a Scottish novelist, poet, and travel writer, and a leading representative of English literature. He was greatly admired by many authors, including Jorge Luis Borges, Ernest Hemingway, Rudyard Kipling and Vladimir Nabokov.
Virginibus Puerisque: With the single exception of Falstaff, all Shakespeare's characters are what we call marrying men. Mercutio, as he was own cousin to Benedick and Biron, would have come to the same end in the long run. Even Iago had a wife, and, what is far stranger, he was jealous. People like Jacques and the Fool in LEAR, although we can hardly imagine they would ever marry, kept single out of a cynical humour or for a broken heart, and not, as we do nowadays, from a spirit of incredulity and preference for the single state. For that matter, if you turn to George Sand's French version of AS YOU LIKE IT (and I think I can promise you will like it but little), you will find Jacques marries Celia just as Orlando marries Rosalind.

    The Wonderful Tune - A weird...

    Jessie Douglas Kerruish was born in Seaton Carew, Hartlepool, County Durham in 1884. 
 
Little is known about the author’s life and to a large extent her work remains either neglected or out of favour. 
 
Her literary career got off to a very bright start in 1917 when she won the Hodder & Stoughton First Novel Prize for ‘Miss Haroun Al-Raschid’.  Five years later came her seminal work ‘The Undying Monster’, which today is still regarded as a macabre werewolf classic. 
 
Throughout her career she contributed short stories to such popular periodicals as Novel, Lady's and Weekly Tale-Teller.  One of the best was ‘The Wonderful Tune’ and whilst the title sounds light and airy her dark imagination riddles the narrative.  Many of her works were set in exotic locations from North Africa to the Middle East. 
 
Her output was small, limited to two collections of short stories and several novels. 
 
During the 1930’s severe and debilitating migraines prevented her from working for any length of time and all she could muster was contributions to anthologies. 
 
Jessie Douglas Kerruish died in Hove, Sussex in 1949, in obscurity.

    "I am going to take a heroine whom no one but myself will much like." — Jane Austen

Emma Woodhouse is perfectly content with her life in the quiet village of Highbury. Wealthy, independent, and perhaps a bit too sure of her own judgment, she occupies her time by orchestrating the romantic lives of those around her. However, her well-intentioned meddling—particularly with her protégé, Harriet Smith—leads to a comedy of errors that threatens the happiness of her friends and herself. As Emma navigates a maze of social blunders and misplaced affections, she must confront the wisdom of her longtime friend and mentor, Mr. Knightley, and finally recognize the true desires of her own heart.

The Art of the "Comedy of Manners": Austen's sharp wit shines as she satirizes the social pretensions and gossip of 19th-century provincial life. Through Emma's eyes, we see a world where a misunderstood glance or a misinterpreted letter can change a person's fate. It is a brilliant study of human nature that remains as relevant today as it was in the Regency era.

A Heroine's Growth: Unlike many romantic leads of her time, Emma doesn't need to marry for money or status. Her journey is internal—it is a transformation from a spoiled, self-important young woman into a mature adult who understands the weight of her influence on others. The tension between her and the stoic, honorable George Knightley provides one of the most satisfying "slow-burn" romances in fiction.

Rediscover the wit and warmth of Austen's most playful work. Purchase "Emma" today.
