Najsłynniejsza powieść z gatunku coming-of-age należąca do kanonu literatury światowej w tłumaczeniu Anny Bańkowskiej Stany Zjednoczone, lata 60. XIX wieku. W domostwie zwanym Orchard House od pokoleń mieszka rodzina Marchów. Pod nieobecność ojca walczącego w wojnie secesyjnej opiekę nad czterema córkami sprawuje ich matka, Marmee, która wyraźnie wyprzedza swoją epokę, wpajając dziewczynkom ideały wolności i namawiając je, by znalazły własną drogę w życiu. Córki pani March – stateczna Meg, żywiołowa Jo, nieśmiała Beth oraz nieco przemądrzała Amy – starają się urozmaicić swoje naznaczone ciągłym brakiem pieniędzy życie, chociaż boleśnie odczuwają niedostatek i tęsknotę za ojcem. Nieważne, czy układają plan zabawy czy zawiązują tajne stowarzyszenie, wszystkich zarażają swoim entuzjazmem. Poddają mu się nawet Laurie, samotny chłopiec z sąsiedniego domu, oraz jego tajemniczy, bogaty dziadek. Młody dziedzic z zazdrością patrzy na skromny dom Marchów, bo któż nie chciałby ogrzać się w jego cieple? Kto odrzuciłby przyjaźń czterech dziewczynek o diametralnie różnych osobowościach, ale jednakowo dobrych sercach? Książka, która od półtora wieku łączy kolejne pokolenia
Dziwne losy Jane Eyre ukazały się po raz pierwszy w październiku 1847 roku i stały się wielkim sukcesem wydawniczym. Powieść, zaliczana do szczytowych osiągnięć literackich epoki wiktoriańskiej, harmonijnie łączy melodramatyczną fabułę z wnikliwą obserwacją psychologiczną oraz nastrojem tajemnicy i grozy. Osierocona dziewczyna podejmuje pracę nauczycielki w posiadłości Edwarda Fairfaxa Rochestera. Zostaje jego narzeczoną, ale Rochester ukrywa przed światem ponury sekret. Charlotte Bront opowiada o wielkim uczuciu, które połączyło ludzi z różnych, tak odległych od siebie sfer w świecie, gdzie konwenanse stanowiły o towarzyskim być albo nie być.

Trzecia część bestsellerowego pierwszego KWARTETU LOS ANGELES. Odkrywający tajemnice show biznesu sierżant Jack Vincennes, pozbawiony skrupułów Bud White i obsesyjne przywiązany do przepisów prawa Ed Exley muszą rozwiązać zagadkę masakry w nocnym barze. Każdy z policjantów poprowadzi je na własną rękę, bo każdy ma powody, by milczeć przed resztą... Sprawa, która z pozoru wygląda na robotę czarnoskórych oprychów, prowadzi prosto na sam szczyt skorumpowanych elit Los Angeles, zahaczając po drodze o pewną luksusową i bardzo oryginalną agencję towarzyską... Fascynująca wizja upadłego miasta będącego siedliskiem wszelkiej maści gangsterów, skorumpowanych polityków i stróżów prawa, handlarzy narkotyków, seryjnych morderców i psychopatycznych zwyrodnialców - czyli Los Angeles oczami Jamesa Ellroya. `James Ellroy to jeden z największych współczesnych pisarzy kryminalnych, a także prowokator, skandalista i ekspert od prania amerykańskich brudów`. Wprost `Jak scharakteryzować pisarstwo Ellroya? To dosadność i ironia, to drobiazgowy opis materialnego świata, w którym obracają się postaci (niczym u Chandlera) i cięte dialogi. W jego książkach ludzie kuszeni przez Zło tracą niewinność, wielkie pieniądze zagłuszają wyrzuty sumienia, a miłość i męska przyjaźń rzadko wytrzymują próby, na jakie są wystawiane`. Jacek Szczerba, Gazeta Wyborcza

Although Oscar Wilde (1854–1900) created a wide range of poetry, essays, and fairy tales (and one novel) in his brief, tragic life, he is perhaps best known as a dramatist. His witty, clever drama, populated by brilliant talkers skilled in the art of riposte and paradox, are still staples of the theatrical repertoire. An Ideal Husband revolves around a blackmail scheme that forces a married couple to reexamine their moral standards — providing, along the way, a wry commentary on the rarity of politicians who can claim to be ethically pure. A supporting cast of young lovers, society matrons, an overbearing father, and a formidable femme fatale continually exchange sparkling repartee, keeping the play moving at a lively pace. ike most of Wilde's plays, this scintillating drawing-room comedy is wise, well-constructed, and deeply satisfying. An instant success at its 1895 debut, the play continues to delight audiences over one hundred years later. An Ideal Husband is a must-read for Wilde fans, students of English literature, and anyone delighted by wit, urbanity, and timeless sophistication.

Trzecia książka o Tomie Ripleyu rozpoczyna się w momencie, kiedy do posiadłości Belle Ombre, gdzie mieszka Ripley z żoną, przyjeżdża Reeves Minot. Prosi Toma o pomoc w znalezieniu kogoś, kto podjąłby się popełnienia dwóch morderstw - Reeves pragnie wyeliminować włoskich konkurentów zagrażających mu w prowadzeniu nielegalnego hazardu w Hamburgu. Ripley obawia się przyjąć zlecenie Reevesa, ponieważ zbyt wiele go z nim łączy, lecz obiecuje znaleźć właściwego człowieka. Wybór pada na Jonathana Trevannyego, którego niedawno poznał podczas przyjęcia. Tom obmyśla perfidną intrygę, aby wciągnąć go w to przedsięwzięcie, jednak nieoczekiwany splot wydarzeń powoduje, że Ripley musi włączyć się do gry, aby skuteczniej ją reżyserować. Znakomitym pomysłem Patricii Highsmith jest zamiana ról - w miejsce klasycznego narratora pojawia się bohater, Tom Ripley. Dzięki temu czytelnik może lepiej poznać zawiłą psychikę mordercy mistrzowsko manipulującego spotykanymi osobami. Szybkie zwroty akcji i dokładny opis mechanizmu zbrodni powodują, że Gra Ripleya łączy zalety powieści sensacyjnej i czarnego kryminału.
