  Emma

  Jane Austen

  Emma, by Jane Austen, is a novel about youthful hubris and the perils of misconstrued romance. The story takes place in the fictional village of Highbury and the surrounding estates of Hartfield, Randalls, and Donwell Abbey and involves the relationships among individuals in those locations consisting of "3 or 4 families in a country village". The novel was first published in December 1815 while the author was alive, with its title page listing a publication date of 1816. As in her other novels, Austen explores the concerns and difficulties of genteel women living in Georgian–Regency England; she also creates a lively comedy of manners among her characters and depicts issues of marriage, gender, age, and social status.
  Before she began the novel, Austen wrote, "I am going to take a heroine whom no one but myself will much like." In the first sentence, she introduces the title character as "Emma Woodhouse, handsome, clever, and rich." Emma is spoiled, headstrong, and self-satisfied; she greatly overestimates her own matchmaking abilities; she is blind to the dangers of meddling in other people's lives; and her imagination and perceptions often lead her astray.
  Emma, written after Austen's move to Chawton, was the last novel to be completed and published during her life, as Persuasion, the last novel Austen wrote, was published posthumously.
  This novel has been adapted for several films, many television programmes, and a long list of stage plays. It is also the inspiration for several novels.

  Miss Edyth Vale, heiress to a steel fortune, has paid the youthful investigator Ashton-Kirk a visit. Her fiancé has become entangled in a secret and intensely stressful business matter, which is casting a shadow over their nascent relationship. Using her resources, she's discovered that the cause of the problem is a numismatist called Hume, and Ashton-Kirk agrees to check up on him. Yet before he can even pay a visit, Hume is discovered in his office with a bayonet in his chest. Ashton-Kirk must uncover the real murderer, but with such a wide cast of suspects, he has his work cut out for him. Although the character of Ashton-Kirk had appeared in earlier serials, Ashton-Kirk, Investigator is the first in a series of novels by John T. McIntyre focusing on the youthful private investigator. Following in Sherlock Holmes' footsteps as a scientific investigator-for-hire, Ashton-Kirk carefully considers all possible events, often operating several steps ahead of his colleagues—and the reader. John T. McIntyre (died 1951) was an influential writer of the modernist period. Their work has endured across generations and continues to be read and studied worldwide. As a work of classic literary fiction, Ashton Kirk Investigator 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.

  The Idiot - The Illustrated Gift...

  Fyodor Dostoevsky

  A young man returns to Russia from a Swiss sanatorium with no money, no guile and an incurable habit of telling the truth, and walks into a society that cannot decide whether to worship him or destroy him. Dostoevsky set out to write a wholly good man and produced the most painful of his novels: here kindness itself does the damage. Paintings of Petersburg salons, candlelit confrontations and winter streets; the Gilded Library ornament is a burning candle, scattered cards and the iron rail of the embankment.
