Experience the brutality of war and the power of love in Ernest Hemingway`s timeless classic.

Inspired by his experiences as a reporter during the Spanish Civil War, Ernest Hemingway's For Whom the Bell Tolls tells the story of Robert Jordan, an American volunteer in the International Brigades fighting to defend the Spanish Republic against Franco. After being ordered to work with guerrilla fighters to destroy a bridge, Jordan finds himself falling in love with a young Spanish woman and clashing with the guerrilla leader over the risks of their mission.

One of the great novels of the twentieth century, For Whom the Bell Tolls powerfully explores the loss of innocence, the value of human life, and the inescapable brutality of war. First published in 1940, this enduring masterpiece showcases Hemingway's distinctive style and his mastery of the literary form.

The Call of the Wild tells the story of Buck, a domestic dog who is kidnapped from his home in California and forced to pull sleds in the Arctic wasteland. White Fang, by contrast, is the tale of a crossbreed who is three-quarters wolf and a quarter dog, and who must endure considerable suffering in the wilderness before being tamed by an American and taken to live in California.

Extraordinary both for the vividness of their descriptions and the success with which they imagine life from a non-human perspective, these two classics of children’s literature are two of the greatest and most popular animal stories ever written.

This companion volume to the Tales of Mystery and Imagination contains Edgar Allan Poe’s best-known poetry, and a selection of his very best stories (many of which originate in his 1840s Tales of the Grotesque and Arabesque), along with his finest tales from the last decade of his tragically short life.

Many of these stories and poems tell of the familiar Poe themes of murder, obsession and love, but this volume also contains many overlooked tales of the fantastic, black comedies, parodies and hoaxes, such as ‘The Unparalleled Adventure of Hans Pfall’, ‘Mesmeric Revolution’, ‘Hop-Frog’, and ‘The Imp of the Perverse’.

Kennismaking met wijsheid van uiteenlopende mystici en wijsgeren uit Oost en West, voorzien van commentaar door de bekende Engelse auteur (1894-1963). Aldous Huxley heeft rond een aantal thema's een waardevolle bloemlezing van eeuwige wijsheden samengesteld. Hij zegt in zijn inleiding dat we bij de bestudering van de eeuwige wijsheid van de grond af kunnen beginnen met geestelijke oefening en moraal, zoals bijvoorbeeld Gautema Boeddha voorstond. We kunnen eveneens bij de top beginnen met het overpeinzen van metafysische waarden. We kunnen echter ook in het midden beginnen: daar is het brandpunt waar geest en materie, handeling en denken in de menselijke psychologie samenkomen. Via deze weg voert Huxley ons langs een keur van geschriften die een geestelijke waarde vertegenwoordigen en veelal uitblinken in schoonheid. Huxley heeft in dit boek een unieke samenvatting gegeven van wat de grote denkers en mystici van oost en west hebben ervaren van de goddelijke werkelijkheid.
