  When Elizabeth Bennet meets Fitzwilliam Darcy for the first time at a ball, she writes him off as an arrogant and obnoxious man. He not only acts like an insufferable snob, but she also overhears him rejecting the very idea of asking her for a dance! As life pits them against each other again and again, Darcy begins to fall for Elizabeth's wit and intelligence and Elizabeth begins to question her feelings about Darcy. But when Darcy saves her youngest sister Lydia from a scandal, Elizabeth starts to wonder if her pride has prejudiced her opinion of Darcy. Through this tale about two warring hearts, Jane Austen weaves a witty satire about life in eighteenth century England. And though it was published more than two centuries ago, Pride and Prejudice continues to enthrall readers to this very day.

  A man who wants everything. A devil who offers it. A bargain that no one can escape unchanged.
  In Goethe's monumental drama, the scholar Faust—exhausted by limits of knowledge and longing for deeper meaning—strikes a fateful pact with Mephistopheles. Promised pleasure, power, and limitless experience, Faust plunges into a world of beauty, temptation, and moral peril. Yet every moment gained carries a shadow, and every desire leads him closer to the edge of damnation.
  
  Praised as "one of the greatest works of world literature," this epic explores ambition, love, sin, redemption, and the eternal struggle between light and darkness. Readers are captivated by its poetic force, philosophical depth, and unforgettable characters.
  
  If you crave dramatic storytelling, probing ideas, and a journey that tests the limits of the human spirit, Faust delivers a timeless and transformative experience.
  
  Open the book—and follow Faust into the fire of his own desires.
