"The Last Man" is Mary Shelley`s apocalyptic fantasy of the end of human civilisation. Set in the late twenty-first century, the novel unfolds a sombre and pessimistic vision of mankind confronting inevitable destruction. Interwoven with her futuristic theme, Mary Shelley incorporates idealised portraits of Shelley and Byron, yet rejects Romanticism and its faith in art and nature. Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley (1797-1851) was the only daughter of Mary Wollstonecraft, author of "Vindication of the Rights of Woman", and the radical philosopher William Godwin. Her mother died ten days after her birth and the young child was educated through contact with her father`s intellectual circle and her own reading. She met Percy Bysshe Shelley in...

"The Lord of the Rings" cannot be described in a few words. J.R.R. Tolkien`s great work has been labelled both a heroic romance and a classic of science fiction. It is, however, impossible to convey to the new reader all of the book`s qualities, and the range of its creation. By turns comic, homely, epic, monstrous and diabolic, the narrative moves through countless changes of scenes and character in an imaginary world which is totally convincing in its detail. Tolkien created a new mythology in an invented world which has proved timeless in its appeal. This one volume paperback edition includes the complete unabridged text of the three books, "The Fellowship of the Ring", "The Two Towers and The Return of the King", that together make...

Charles Dickens was an English writer and social critic. The Life and Adventures of Martin Cbuzzlewit is his sixth novel. The story involves the escape of a young boy from imminent danger, and portrays the terrified child`s point of view throughout his traumatic experiences. It also contains some of Dickens`s most memorable characters. There is the seedy but charming schemer Montague Tigg, and his associate Chevy Slyme, the eccentrically fey and colourfully attired barber, the buxom goodhearted pub landlady Mrs Lupin and many others. The novel is widely accepted as the last of his picaresque novels and was thought by Dickens himself to be his best novel.
