  A shopkeeper in Soho sells stationery, pornography and information, and takes his orders from an embassy that wants an outrage shocking enough to frighten England into repression. Conrad based the plot on a real attempt to blow up the Greenwich Observatory and wrote it in his third language, with a coldness he never matched elsewhere. Nothing in it is simple except the title.

Yonge lived her whole life in one Hampshire village and worked from the chronicles; the Black Prince's Spanish campaign here is history, and so is the ransom system that ran the whole war.

  Moby-Dick by Herman Melville is a monumental classic of American literature: an epic tale of obsession, fate, the sea, and humanity's struggle against the unknown.
  
  Narrated by Ishmael, the novel follows the voyage of the whaling ship Pequod and its mysterious, driven captain, Ahab. Haunted by his previous encounter with the great white whale Moby Dick, Ahab transforms the expedition into a relentless pursuit of revenge. As the crew sails deeper into danger, the hunt becomes a powerful meditation on nature, madness, destiny, and the limits of human will.
  
  First published in 1851, Melville's masterpiece blends adventure, philosophy, symbolism, and maritime detail into one of the richest and most challenging works of fiction ever written. Vast in scope and unforgettable in intensity, Moby-Dick continues to inspire readers with its grandeur, mystery, and tragic force.
  
  A landmark of world literature, this novel remains one of the most profound explorations of obsession and the human condition.

  In its first appearance in 1892, Israel Zangwill's Children of the Ghetto created a sensation in both England and America, becoming the first Anglo-Jewish bestseller and establishing Zangwill as the literary voice of Anglo-Jewry. A novel set in late nineteenth-century London, Children of the Ghetto gave an inside look into an immigrant community that was almost as mysterious to the more established middle-class Jews of Britain as to the non-Jewish population, providing a compelling analysis of a generation caught between the ghetto and modern British life.
