Sparkling with wit, wisdom and wonderful songs including, ‘I Could Have Danced All Night’, ‘Wouldn’t It Be Loverly’ and ‘Get Me To The Church On Time’, the musical play based on Bernard Shaw’s ‘Pygmalion’ has been delighting audiences since it was first performed in the 1950s. When overbearing Professor Higgins stumbles on flower girl, Eliza Doolittle, in Covent Garden he recognizes that her hideous vowels and forgotten consonants are all that separate her from the upper classes. Higgins wagers that he can pass her off as a Duchess in a matter of weeks. But what will become of Eliza when the bet is over? This edition of ‘My Fair Lady’ includes the complete script and a selection of black and white stills from the Oscar-winning film starring Audrey Hepburn and Rex Harrison.

Długie pożegnanie to ostatnia duża powieść Chandlera, przez wielu uważana za ukoronowanie jego literackiej kariery. Jak zwykle Philip Marlowe wplątuje się w trudną sytuację: poznany przypadkiem kompan od kieliszka musi uciekać przed policją. Marlowe, bezwzględnie lojalny, postanawia bronić mężczyzny przed oskarżeniami, szybko jednak zdaje sobie sprawę, że w niebezpiecznej gmatwaninie, jaką jest świat wyższych sfer bogatego Los Angeles końca lat czterdziestych, trudno się zorientować, kto stoi po czyjej stronie. Gorzka, przejmująca i niespieszna opowieść o przyjaźni i zaufaniu. Absolutny klasyk kryminału noir, którego echa odnajdujemy w filmach i literaturze także dziś.

Kiedy coś, co na początku wygląda jak gwiazdka z nieba, zamienia się w koszmar... Mitch McDeere kończy wydział prawa na Harvardzie jako jeden z najlepszych studentów na roku. Może wybierać w propozycjach zatrudnienia, ale, o dziwo, zamiast zdecydować się na którąś z wielkich firm prawniczych w Nowym Jorku czy Bostonie, przyjmuje ofertę niezbyt dużej kancelarii z Memphis, specjalizującej się w sprawach podatkowych. Świetna pensja, korzystny kredyt na zakup domu, kluczyki do bmw i inne bonusy, a do tego niemal rodzinna atmosfera w pracy. Jak można to odrzucić? Wkrótce okazuje się, że podjął najgorszą decyzję w życiu. Agenci FBI, którzy obserwują kancelarię, informują Mitcha, że głównym źródłem jej dochodów jest pranie pieniędzy dla mafii. I stawiają go przed wyborem: albo pomoże im zdemaskować swoich pracodawców, albo trafi do więzienia za współudział w przestępczym procederze. Żadna z tych możliwości nie budzi w nim zachwytu, zastanawia się więc nad trzecią: odejściem z kancelarii. Szybko jednak orientuje się, że ci, którzy próbowali to zrobić przed nim, zginęli w tajemniczych okolicznościach. Żeby uratować siebie i żonę, będzie musiał wymyślić karkołomny plan, którego realizacja może przekroczyć jego możliwości.

In the detective business, Spenser sometimes has to bend the law. Other times, to break it. But he lives by his own inviolate rules. And he loves just one woman -- even though she is the one woman he's just lost. So when Susan's desperate letter arrives, Spenser doesn't think twice. His best friend, Hawk, faces a life sentence. And Susan has gotten herself into even bigger trouble. Now Spenser has to free them both...even if it means breaking his own rules to do it. "If you like tight writing, no wasted words and interesting characters, Parker will be your cup of tea." (USA Today)

[ Penguin Readers Level 2 ] The idea for this famous story came to du Maurier one day when she was walking across to Menabilly Barton farm from the house. She saw a farmer busily ploughing a field whilst above him the seagulls were diving and wheeling. She developed an idea about the birds becoming hostile and attacking him. In her story, the birds become hostile after a harsh winter with little food—first the seagulls, then birds of prey, and finally even small birds—all turn against mankind. The nightmarish vision appealed to Hitchcock who turned it into the celebrated film.

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.

The Wave is based on a true incident that occurred in a high school history class in Palo Alto, California, in 1969. The powerful forces of group pressure that pervaded many historic movements such as Nazism are recreated in the classroom when history teacher Burt Ross introduces a "new" system to his students. And before long The Wave , with its rules of "strength through discipline, community, and action", sweeps from the classroom through the entire school. And as most of the students join the movement, Laurie Saunders and David Collins recognize the frightening momentum of The Wave and realize they must stop it before it's too late.

Initially published under the pseudonym Currer Bell in 1847, Charlotte Brontë's Jane Eyre erupted onto the English literary scene, immediately winning the devotion of many of the world's most renowned writers, including William Makepeace Thackeray, who declared it a work "of great genius."

This Modern Library Paperback Classics edition includes a new Introduction by Diane Johnson, the National Book Award-nominated author of many novels, including Le Mariage and Le Divorce. The timeless story of Jane Eyre has arrived on Broadway as a spectacular new musical from an all-star production team, consisting of John Caird (Les Misérables, Nicholas Nickleby), who adapted and staged (with Scott Schwartz); composer Paul Gordon; designer John Napier (Cats, Les Misérables, Sunset Boulevard); costume designer Andreane Neofitou (Les Misérables, Miss Saigon); and lighting designers Jules Fisher and Peggy Eisenhauer, six-time winners of the Tonytm Award.
