Sinossi

Pride and Prejudice is a novel of manners by Jane Austen. The story follows the main character Elizabeth Bennet as she deals with issues of manners, upbringing, morality, education, and marriage in the society of the landed gentry of early 19th-century England. Elizabeth is the second of five daughters of a country gentleman living near the fictional town of Meryton in Hertfordshire, near London. Though the story is set at the turn of the 19th century, it retains a fascination for modern readers, continuing near the top of lists of "most loved books" such as The Big Read. It has become one of the most popular novels in English literature and receives considerable attention from literary scholars. Modern interest in the book has resulted in a number of dramatic adaptations and an abundance of novels and stories imitating Austen's memorable characters or themes. To date, the book has sold some 20 million copies worldwide.

    Science Fiction is speculative literature that generally explores the consequences of ideas which are roughly consistent with nature and scientific method, but are not facts of the author’s contemporary world. The stories often represent philosophical thought experiments presented in entertaining ways. Protagonists typically “think” rather than “shoot” their way out of problems, but the definition is flexible because there are no limits on an author’s imagination. The reader-selected stories presented here were written prior to 1962 and became US public domain texts when their copyrights expired. (Summary by Gregg Margarite)

    I was the guy that drifted through life. I rolled with the punches, even when they knocked me on my ass. 
     
     
     
    I'd get back up, dust myself off, and pretend life wasn't full of heartache and disappointment. 
     
     
     
    On the outside, I was nothing more than the fun-loving guy that made everyone laugh. But on the inside, there was more hate than I knew how to control. No one knew the life I'd led; I hid my demons well. 
     
     
     
    But even in all the anger and pain, there was one spark of sweetness. She was younger than me, so innocent, and worst of all, my best friend's little sister. Grace was off limits. 
     
     
     
    Wanting her led to the possibility of losing the only true family I'd had left. I wouldn't want her; I had to keep a safe distance. But seeing her change from the sweet girl into a woman with desires did something to me. It shifted something inside me, and that something was impossible to control. 
     
     
     
    But had I realized that Grace Jackson was the one for me too late? Had I missed my chance by driving her away and into the arms of another? 
     
     
     
    Contains mature themes.

    Agatha Christie's "Young Detective Novels" brings together four of Christie's most beloved books, each of which features a young detective (or two) trying to unravel various mysteries, mayhem...and murder. 
     
    For our first offering, we present two "Tommy and Tuppence" novels, the initial books of Christie's thrilling series featuring Tommy and Prudence "Tuppence" Beresford. In "The Secret Adversary" and "Partners in Crime," we find Tommy and Tuppence as they embark on a career as crime-solvers, first getting wrapped up in international intrigue and then, in Book Two, opening up a detective agency of their own and solving mysteries for various clients who seek their assistance.  
     
    Then, two books from the Superintendent Battle series, featuring Lady Eileen Brent - better known to her friends as "Bundle." In these two books - "The Secret of Chimneys" and "The Seven Dials Mystery," Superintendent Battle is faced with two mind-bending crimes, but with Bundle's help, the evildoers are soon on the run!  
     
    Four complete Agatha Christie novels featuring three of her youngest sleuths, "The Young Detectives Novels" are presented here in their original and unabridged formats.
