Summary

Sometimes love needs a second chance.

In Persuasion, Jane Austen offers her most emotionally nuanced novel—a story of missed opportunities, enduring affection, and graceful resilience. At twenty-seven, Anne Elliot has long regretted ending her engagement to the dashing but penniless Captain Wentworth. Now, years later, he returns—wealthy, successful, and seemingly indifferent.

Set against the backdrop of post-Napoleonic England, Persuasion explores themes of regret, social expectation, and quiet strength with Austen's signature elegance. It is a deeply moving meditation on love that lasts beyond youth and circumstance.

This beautifully designed edition features annotations and illustrations for an enriched reading experience.

"Austen's most profound and mature work." — The Times Literary Supplement

    War and Peace is a literary work mixed with chapters on history and philosophy by the Russian author Leo Tolstoy. It was first published serially, then published in its entirety in 1869. It is regarded as one of Tolstoy's finest literary achievements and remains an internationally praised classic of world literature.
Second Epilogue: History is the life of nations and of humanity. To seize and put into words, to describe directly the life of humanity or even of a single nation, appears impossible. The ancient historians all employed one and the same method to describe and seize the apparently elusive the life of a people. They described the activity of individuals who ruled the people, and regarded the activity of those men as representing the activity of the whole nation.

    "Northanger Abbey" is one of Jane Austen's earlier works, published posthumously in 1818. The novel is a coming-of-age story that follows the naive and imaginative Catherine Morland during her adventures in Bath and, later, at the eponymous Northanger Abbey. While the book embraces elements of the Gothic novel—a popular genre of its time—it also satirizes the genre's excesses and the naivety of its young heroine. Themes of social class, wealth, and morality are explored against a backdrop of Regency England manners and mores.

The Unexpected delivers a jarring tale of isolation and sudden violence in the frozen North. In The Story of Keesh, a clever boy rises to leadership through ingenuity and courage, defying those who doubt him. The White Man’s Way reveals the betrayal that lies beneath colonial promises, as a Native Alaskan man pays a heavy price for trusting outsiders. Finally, Negore, The Coward is a redemptive tale of bravery and reputation, as one man fights to reclaim his honor.
