      The story of the orphan Oliver, who runs away from the workhouse only to be taken in by a den of thieves, shocked readers when it was first published. Dickens’s tale of childhood innocence beset by evil depicts the dark criminal underworld of a London peopled by vivid and memorable characters – the arch-villain Fagin, the artful Dodger, the menacing Bill Sikes and the prostitute Nancy. Combining elements of Gothic Romance, the Newgate Novel and popular melodrama, in Oliver Twist Dickens created an entirely new kind of fiction, scathing in its indictment of a cruel society, and pervaded by an unforgettable sense of threat and mystery.

    • [Penguin Readers Level 5]The book centres on the character of Mr. Harding, a clergyman of great personal integrity, whose charitable income far exceeds the purpose for which it was intended. Young John Bold turns his reforming zeal to exposing what he considers to be an abuse of privilege, despite being in love with Mr. Harding's daughter Eleanor. The novel was highly topical as a case regarding the misapplication of church funds was the scandalous subject of contemporary debate. But Trollope uses this specific case to explore and illuminate the universal complexities of human motivation and social morality.

    • Als F. Scott Fitzgeralds famoser Roman „The Great Gatsby“ 1925 erschien, erntete sein Autor von zahlreichen Schriftstellerkollegen hymnische Kritiken, doch erst die Nachkriegsjahrzehnte bescherten seinem Meisterwerk die weltweite Anerkennung, die es verdient. Ergreifend und mit subtiler Finesse erzählt Fitzgerald die Geschichte des schillernden Emporkömmlings Jay Gatsby, der auf seinem Anwesen rauschende Feste feiert, um seine einst verlorene Liebe zurückzugewinnen - eine Geschichte über die Macht großer Gefühle und das schmerzhafte Scheitern eines romantischen Traums. Diese Ausgabe präsentiert den grandiosen Klassiker der amerikanischen Literatur in einer zweisprachigen Ausgabe Englisch und Deutsch.
