  Winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature 
   
  Rabindranath Tagore was the first non-European to win the Nobel Prize in Literature. More than a century later, his stories still feel startlingly alive. 
  In Selected Short Stories, one of the world's great literary voices turns his clear, compassionate gaze on ordinary lives caught at extraordinary moments. A haunted marble palace on a lonely riverside, a talkative child and the Afghan fruit-seller who loves her as his own daughter, a village boy exiled to the suffocating city, a mute girl given in marriage, a loyal servant destroyed by devotion -- Tagore finds the epic in the everyday, the universal in the intimate. 
  Blending lyric beauty with psychological insight, these tales move effortlessly between Calcutta streets and quiet villages, between ghostly apparitions and the harsh light of social reality. They are stories of love and separation, guilt and sacrifice, poverty and pride. But above all, the frail, fierce dignity of the human heart. 
  Admired by writers from W.B. Yeats to William Butler, compared to Chekhov and Maupassant yet unlike anyone but himself, Tagore helped shape modern world literature. His fiction has been read, retranslated, and rediscovered across continents for generations. 
  This collection is the perfect doorway into his work -- essential for lovers of classic literature, book clubs seeking deeply moving stories, and any reader who wants to understand why Tagore's voice, born in nineteenth-century Bengal, still speaks so powerfully to our own time.

  Efraín is a young man growing up on an idyllic hacienda in Colombia's Valle de Cauca department. Among his large and loving family is María, the abandoned daughter of Efraín's father's cousin, raised by Efraín's father. The two fall in love; but Maria is haunted by a condition inherited from her mother that threatens death at a young age, and Efraín is sent to faraway lands to complete his education. Will the two be able to see their love blossom? María , Isaacs' only novel, is one of Colombia's most famous literary works and one of the most important works of 19th century Latin American literature. It's held up as a paragon of the costumbrist novel, a type of novel that depicts the everyday life of common people against a Romantic backdrop. Jorge Isaacs (died 1895) was one of the most distinguished authors of the Victorian age. Their work has endured across generations and continues to be read and studied worldwide. As a work of classic literary fiction, Rollo Ogden exemplifies the narrative craft and social insight that defined great storytelling of its era. Literary fiction of this period was characterized by careful attention to character psychology, social milieu, and the moral questions that animated public discourse.

  Don Quixote - The legendary...

  Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra

  He traded his sanity for a rusty sword, a noble steed, and a dream of chivalry that the world had long forgotten. 
  In this crowning achievement of world literature, Alonso Quijano, an aging gentleman utterly consumed by romantic books of chivalric knights, loses his grip on reality. Renaming himself Don Quixote de La Mancha, he dons a makeshift suit of armor and sets forth across the Spanish countryside to right wrongs, protect the innocent, and win the favor of his imaginary lady love, Dulcinea. Accompanied by his pragmatic, proverb-spouting squire, Sancho Panza, the self-proclaimed knight tilts at windmills he believes to be fierce giants, mistakes dilapidated inns for grand castles, and turns the ordinary into the extraordinary. What follows is a tragicomic journey of profound depth, where delusion clashes with reality, and madness is sometimes far more noble than sanity. 
  Why you will love this: This cornerstone of Classic Fiction essentially invented the modern novel as we know it. Weaving biting satire with boundless humanity, epic quests, and the ultimate buddy-comedy dynamic, its exploration of idealism versus cynicism remains as sharp, moving, and hilarious today as it was over four centuries ago. 
  About the Author: Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra (1547–1616) was a Spanish soldier, captive, and visionary author. Despite enduring profound hardships—from crippling battlefield injuries to five years of enslavement in Algiers—he poured his boundless intellect and irrepressible humor into his writing, immortalizing himself as the greatest literary figure in the Spanish language.

  The Gambler

  Fyodor Dostoevsky

  In the fictional town of Roulettenberg, Germany, a Russian tutor to the children of a seemingly wealthy general is enticed to play roulette at the local casino. First playing for others (including his beloved Polina Alexandrovna), he soon gets a taste for the experience himself, which can lead in only one direction.
  Dostoevsky wrote this story based at least partially on personal experience. After his second marriage (and the successful publication of Crime and Punishment) he and his wife took a honeymoon in Baden-Baden, where Dostoevsky lost large quantities of money at the roulette table. To get his financial situation back to normal he then set up a wager with his publisher: they'd have the right to publish his work for free for nine years if he couldn't deliver this novel by November 1866. He succeeded in this, and was able to move on to writing The Idiot.
  The Gambler has been translated to screen and radio, and was even turned into an opera by Prokofiev. This edition is the 1915 translation by C. J. Hogarth.
