„A legkedvesebb és legkönnyedébb olvasmányok közül való” – írta Szerb Antal A Pendragon-legenda című regényéről a Nyugat 1935-ben. Majd 100 évvel később sem lehetne találóbban jellemezni ezt az intellektuális és fanyar humorral megírt detektívregényt, amely úgy tartja be műfajának sajátosságait, hogy közben kifigurázza azokat. 

"Ha jobban visszagondolok, mindig is ott volt a vágy. Egész kicsi korom óta. A vágy, hogy megállítsam a pillanatot. Emlékszem a gondolatra: vajon lesz-e valaha olyan, hogy az ember a szemével, egy pislogással felvételt készít egy beépített kis kamera segítségével? Akkor ez szürreális álomnak tűnt, ma már talán nem is olyan elképzelhetetlen. Annak idején maradt az álmodozás és a szememmel készített több ezer kép elmentése az emlékezetembe. Amerre jártam az utcán, és jött egy arra érdemes pillanat, csak hopp, egy pislogás, és a kép már ott volt készen a fejemben."

"A létezés költészetének általános érzése" - ez hatja át Virginia Woolf 1925-ben megjelent regényét, amelyet azóta szép lassan a huszadik századi világirodalom legnagyobb remekműveinek sorába emelt az idő - és persze az olvasók, akik mindig valami újat fedezhetnek fel a középkorú asszony csapongó gondolataiban, a férfiak (és a nők) iránti vonzalmainak csipkefinom leírásaiban. A varázsos tudatfolyamból azonban kikerekedik egy megejtő történet is: nemcsak Mrs. Dallowayé, hanem egy volt első vil...

Jane Eyre ranks as one of the greatest and most perennially popular works of English fiction. Although the poor but plucky heroine is outwardly of plain appearance, she possesses an indomitable spirit, a sharp wit and great courage.

She is forced to battle against the exigencies of a cruel guardian, a harsh employer and a rigid social order. All of which circumscribe her life and position when she becomes governess to the daughter of the mysterious, sardonic and attractive Mr Rochester.

However...

Emma by Jane Austen. Jane Austen teased readers with the idea of a 'heroine whom no one but myself will much like', but Emma is irresistible. 'Handsome, clever, and rich', Emma is also an 'imaginist', 'on fire with speculation and foresight'. She sees the signs of romance all around her, but thinks she will never be married. Her matchmaking maps out relationships that Jane Austen ironically tweaks into a clearer perspective. Judgement and imagination are matched in games the reader too can en...

What does persuasion mean - a firm belief, or the action of persuading someone to think something else? Anne Elliot is one of Austen's quietest heroines, but also one of the strongest and the most open to change. She lives at the time of the Napoleonic wars, a time of accident, adventure, the making of new fortunes and alliances.

Considered by many to be Dickens' finest novel, Great Expectations traces the growth of the book's narrator, Philip Pirrip (Pip), from a boy of shallow dreams to a man with depth of character. From its famous dramatic opening on the bleak Kentish marshes, the story abounds with some of Dickens' most memorable characters. Among them are the kindly blacksmith Joe Gargery, the mysterious convict Abel Magwitch, the eccentric Miss Havisham and her beautiful ward Estella, Pip's good-hearted room-mate Herbert Pocket and the pompous Pumblechook.



As Pip unravels the truth behind his own 'great expectations' in his quest to become a gentleman, the mysteries of the past and the convolutions of fate through a series of thrilling adventures serve to steer him towards maturity and his most important discovery of all - the truth about himself.

Romeo and Juliet is the world's most famous drama of tragic young love. Defying the feud which divides their families, Romeo and Juliet enjoy the fleeting rapture of courtship, marriage and sexual fulfilment; but a combination of old animosities and new coincidences brings them to suicidal deaths.






This play offers a rich mixture of romantic lyricism, bawdy comedy, intimate harmony and sudden violence. Long successful in the theatre, it has also generated numerous operas, ballets and films; and these have helped to make Romeo and Juliet perennially topical.
