Summary

🌊 A house by the sea. A family suspended in time. A journey shaped by silence and memory.

In To the Lighthouse, Virginia Woolf creates a deeply poetic narrative that captures the ebb and flow of life through the Ramsay family's fragmented experiences across a decade. With lyrical prose and stream-of-consciousness brilliance, Woolf meditates on art, loss, gender roles, and the fleeting nature of time 🕯️🌅.

Split into three parts—each with shifting perspectives and emotional resonance—this novel is a triumph of modernist literature. This annotated edition includes historical context, literary analysis, and Woolf's own notes—perfect for students, scholars, and lovers of introspective fiction.

    William Collins Books and Decca Records are proud to present ARGO Classics, a historic catalogue of classic prose and verse read by some of the world’s most renowned voices. Originally released as vinyl records, these expertly remastered stories are now available to download for the first time. 
‘The moon's an arrant thief, And her pale fire she snatches from the sun.’ 
The story of Shakespeare’s sharp satire on wealth, greed and betrayal. 
Wealthy and popular, Timon of Athens helps his friends, gives many gifts, and holds a feast. After ignoring his true friends' warnings, Timon runs out of money, and none of his "friends" will help him. He runs away to a cave where he curses humanity, finds gold, funds someone to destroy Athens, and dies. 
All of the Shakespeare plays within the ARGO Classics catalogue are performed by the Marlowe Dramatic Society and Professional Players. The Marlowe was founded in 1907 with a mission to focus on effective delivery of verse, respect the integrity of texts, and rescue neglected plays by Shakespeare’s contemporaries and the less performed plays of Shakespeare himself. The Marlowe has performed annually at Cambridge Arts Theatre since its opening in 1936 and continues to produce some of the finest actors of their generations. 
Thurston Dart, Professor of Music at London University and a Fellow of Jesus College Cambridge, directed the music for this production. 
The full cast includes: William Squire; Corin Redgrave; Donald Beves; David Rowe-Beddoe; Michael Burrell; Anthony White; Peter Woodthorpe; John Wood; Derek Jacobi; Peter Foster; Philip Strick; Trevor Nunn; Terrence Hardiman; David Coombes; Anthony Arlidge; Philip Strick; John Sharp; Gary O’Connor; Eric Rump; Tom Bussmann; Richard Kay; Corin Redgrave; Jill Daltry; Elizabeth Proud. 
This top performing piece of European theatre, short in length but rich in content, continues to captivate audiences with its timeless themes. The best of Shakespeare's lesser-known works, Timon of Athens remains a testament to the playwright's unparalleled skill and creativity. 
For fans of Barbara A. Mowat (The Taming of the Shrew), Paul Werstine (The Two Noble Kinsmen), Sparknotes (Merchant of Venice), and Arthur Miller (Death of a Salesman).

    “If Hemingway had the passion for pool that he had for bullfighting, his hero might have been Eddie Felson” (Time).   The novel that inspired the classic film starring Paul Newman and Jackie Gleason, The Hustler tells the story of Fast Eddie Felson, a young pool player who hustles suckers in small towns, looking for stake money so he can reach his goal: a marathon match in Chicago against Minnesota Fats.   An exploration of guts, stamina, and character, and of the difference between winners and losers, this tense, gritty tale is “a wonderful hymn to the last true era when men of substance played pool with a vengeance” (Time Out).
