The Mysterious Island by Jules Verne

Oscar Wilde's only novel 'The Picture of Dorian Gray' was published in Lippincott’s Monthly Magazine in 1890 and provoked a storm of protest from the Victorian society. ‘It is a tale spawned from the leprous literature of the French decadents — a poisoned book, the atmosphere of which is heavy with mephitic odours of moral and spiritual putrefaction’, wrote the critic from the Daily Chronicle.Oscar Wilde wrote a preface, which appeared separately in the Fortnightly Review in March 1891. It contains the famous passage : ‘Books are well written, or badly written. That is all’. Complete and unabridged text with introduction. Paperback. 13.2 cm x 19.3 cm. ISBN: 9788176061346

Animal Farm was Orwell's first highly successful novel (the second being 1984). It was published on the heels of World War II, in England in 1945 and in the United States in 1946. Orwell personifies the animals in the tradition of allegory so that they symbolize real historical figures. Animal Farm is also a powerful satire. Orwell uses irony to undermine the tenets of totalitarianism, specifically that of Stalinism. Though he agreed with many Marxist principles, Orwell was unable to accept the communist interpretation of socialism because he saw many similarities between the communist governments and the previous czarist regimes in old Russia. Communism, he thought, was inherently hypocritical. One of the world's most read classics. Complete and unabridged text with introduction. Paperback: 160 pages ISBN-13: 9788176061537 Product Dimensions: 13.1 x 0.6 x 19.5 cm
