  This short story by Fyodor Dostoevsky was first published in 1848. A man walking past a wedding is reminded of a children's New Year's Eve party he attended 5 years previously – a party that was clearly an excuse for the parents to make advantageous connections in a casual setting. As an outsider at the party, he was able to observe the guests in greater detail than most, and took particular note of the children playing by the Christmas tree, and the social hierarchy they unwittingly participated in. This recording is based on the 1918 translation by Constance Garnett.

  "I moved my head, and there at my elbow stood a tall, thin man, his face gaunt and ascetic... 'Holmes!' I cried. 'Is it really you?'"
  
  Three years after his apparent death at the Reichenbach Falls, Sherlock Holmes miraculously reappears in London. To a stunned Dr. Watson, he reveals the truth of his survival and his secret travels through Tibet and Persia. But there is no time for sentiment; a deadly marksman—the last vestige of Moriarty's gang—is waiting in the shadows of Baker Street with an air-gun, and only Holmes can spring the trap.
  
  The Return of the Master: This collection marks the triumphant comeback of the detective who refused to stay dead. The Return of Sherlock Holmes features thirteen of his most ingenious cases. Solve the high-stakes code of The Adventure of the Dancing Men, track the bicycle tracks in The Adventure of the Priory School, and witness the dark justice meted out to the "King of Blackmailers" in The Adventure of Charles Augustus Milverton.
  
  Evolution of a Partnership: The bond between Holmes and Watson is deeper than ever in these stories. As they navigate the shifting landscape of Edwardian London, they encounter everything from stolen international treaties to kidnapped aristocrats. This volume proves that Holmes's powers of observation and deduction were not dimmed by his absence; rather, they were sharpened into a more formidable weapon against the forces of crime.

  "Welcome to my house! Enter freely. Go safely; and leave something of the happiness you bring!"
  
  When Jonathan Harker travels to the Carpathian Mountains to finalize a real estate transaction with a mysterious nobleman, he has no idea he is walking into a living nightmare. Bram Stoker's Dracula redefined horror forever, introducing a villain who is as sophisticated as he is monstrous—a predator who can command the elements, vanish into mist, and feast upon the blood of the living.
  
  A Masterpiece of Suspense: Told through a gripping collection of private journals, telegrams, and ship's logs, the story follows the Count's predatory journey from his crumbling castle in Transylvania to the fog-shrouded streets of Victorian London. As a small group of brave souls—led by the eccentric polymath Abraham Van Helsing—unite to track the vampire, they must confront not only a physical monster but the dark, repressed desires of the human psyche.
  
  The Birth of Modern Mythology: Dracula is the ultimate exploration of the Victorian fear of the "Other." It blends ancient folklore with the cutting-edge science of the 19th century, featuring blood transfusions and dictaphones alongside crucifixes and garlic. More than a century later, Stoker's creation remains the gold standard for horror, a chilling reminder that some shadows never truly fade.
  
  Don't look back. Purchase "Dracula" today and experience the original pulse-pounding tale of the undead.
