  Wuthering Heights

  Emily Brontë

  Step into the windswept Yorkshire moors in Emily Brontë’s Wuthering Heights — a story of passion, vengeance, and haunting devotion that defies time itself. 
  When the brooding orphan Heathcliff is taken in by the Earnshaw family, his deep, fierce love for Catherine Earnshaw becomes both his salvation and his ruin. Torn apart by pride and circumstance, their bond transforms into an obsession that spans generations, binding the fates of all who live at Wuthering Heights and Thrushcross Grange. 
  Through the eyes of the outsider Mr. Lockwood and the housekeeper Nelly Dean, Brontë unravels a gothic masterpiece where love becomes indistinguishable from torment, and memory itself refuses to rest. 
   Darkly poetic and emotionally raw, Wuthering Heights remains one of the most powerful explorations of human desire and self-destruction ever written — a tale where the moors echo with the ghosts of hearts that could never let go.

  Charles Dickens was a writer and social critic who created some of the world's best-known fictional characters and is regarded as the greatest novelist of the Victorian era. His works enjoyed unprecedented popularity during his lifetime, and by the twentieth century critics and scholars had recognised him as a literary genius. His novels and short stories enjoy lasting popularity.
  OUR BORE: It is unnecessary to say that we keep a bore. Everybody does. But, the bore whom we have the pleasure and honour of enumerating among our particular friends, is such a generic bore, and has so many traits (as it appears to us) in common with the great bore family, that we are tempted to make him the subject of the present notes. May he be generally accepted!

  Before Sherlock Holmes, there was the mystery of the woman in white.
  
  Late one night on a lonely moonlit road near London, art teacher Walter Hartright encounters a distressed woman dressed entirely in white. Her brief, chilling warning is only the beginning of a vast and terrifying conspiracy involving a stolen identity, a locked asylum, and a high-stakes struggle for a fortune.
  
  Wilkie Collins' The Woman in White is widely considered the first "sensation novel" and a landmark in the history of the detective story. Told through a series of vivid first-hand testimonies, the narrative shifts between the heroic Marian Halcombe—one of the most formidable female characters in Victorian literature—and the brilliantly charismatic yet villainous Count Fosco.
  
  As the plot moves from the quiet halls of Limmeridge House to the ominous depths of Blackwater Park, Collins masterfully weaves a tale of psychological suspense that remains as gripping today as it was in 1859. This definitive edition presents the quintessential Victorian thriller, perfect for fans of gothic mystery and intricate plotting.
  
  Can you unravel the secret before it's too late? Buy "The Woman in White" today and enter a world of shadows and secrets.

  History of Tom Jones a Foundling...

  A foundling of mysterious parentage brought up by Mr. Allworthy on his country estate, Tom Jones is deeply in love with the seemingly unattainable Sophia Western, the beautiful daughter of the neighboring squire though he sometimes succumbs to the charms of the local girls. When Tom is banished to make his own fortune and Sophia follows him to London to escape an arranged marriage, the adventure begins. A vivid Hogarthian panorama of eighteenth-century life, spiced with danger and intrigue, bawdy exuberance and good-natured authorial interjections, Tom Jones is one of the greatest and most ambitious comic novels in English literature.
  BOOK 6: In our last book we have been obliged to deal pretty much with the passion of love; and in our succeeding book shall be forced to handle this subject still more largely. It may not therefore in this place be improper to apply ourselves to the examination of that modern doctrine, by which certain philosophers, among many other wonderful discoveries, pretend to have found out, that there is no such passion in the human breast.
