Emily Bronte β’ 1847
<b>Coming soon to the big screen is Emerald Fennellβs feature film β<i>Wuthering Heights</i>,β which captures the spirit of this epic love story and stars Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi as Catherine and Heathcliff.<br></b><br>Emily BrontΓ«'s only novel endures as a work of tremendous and far-reaching influence. The Penguin Classics edition is the definitive version of the text, edited with an introduction by Pauline Nestor.<br><br>Lockwood, the new tenant of Thrushcross Grange, situated on the bleak Yorkshire moors, is forced to seek shelter one night at Wuthering Heights, the home of his landlord. There he discovers the history of the tempestuous events that took place years before. What unfolds is the tale of the intense love between the gypsy foundling Heathcliff and Catherine Earnshaw. Catherine, forced to choose between passionate, tortured Heathcliff and gentle, well-bred Edgar Linton, surrendered to the expectations of her class. As Heathcliff's bitterness and vengeance at his betrayal is visited upon the next generation, their innocent heirs must struggle to escape the legacy of the past. <br><br>In this edition, a new preface by Lucasta Miller, author of <i>The BrontΓ« Myth</i>, looks at the ways in which the novel has been interpreted, from Charlotte BrontΓ« onwards. This complements Pauline Nestor's introduction, which discusses changing critical receptions of the novel, as well as Emily BrontΓ«'s influences and background.

Fyodor Dostoevsky β’ 1866
<b>Hailed by <i>Washington Post Book World</i> as βthe best [translation] currently available" when it was first published, this second edition of <i>Crime and Punishment </i>has been updated in honor of the 200th anniversary of Dostoevskyβs birth.Β β’ <b>ONE OF <i>TIME MAGAZINE</i>'S 100Β BEST MYSTERY AND THRILLER BOOKS OF ALL TIME</b></b><br><br>With the same suppleness, energy, and range of voices that won their translation of <i>The Brothers Karamazov</i> the PEN/Book-of-the-Month Club Prize, Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky offer a brilliant translation of <i>Crime and Punishment, </i>Dostoevsky's astounding pyschological thriller, newly revised for his bicentenniel.Β <br><br>In <i>Crime and Punishment</i>, when Raskolnikov, an impoverished student living in the St. Petersburg of the tsars, commits an act of murder and theft, he sets into motion a story that is almost unequalled in world literature for its excruciating suspense, its atmospheric vividness, and its depth of characterization and vision. Dostoevskyβs drama of sin, guilt, and redemption transforms the sordid story of an old womanβs murder into the nineteenth centuryβs profoundest and most compelling philosophical novel.
