This is not the translation you already know. This is the one Dumas deserved. In 1844, Alexandre Dumas serialized The Three Musketeers in a Paris newspaper at a pace that left readers sleepless and booksellers helpless. He was writing, he said, not about what happened — but about what could have happened. That distinction explains everything. His seventeenth century is not the historian's; it is the novelist's: a century of rapiers and intrigue and absolute loyalty among men who have no reason to trust anyone, and trust each other completely. The Three Musketeers — D'Artagnan rides out ...

Romance and anarchist violence collide in this thought-provoking thriller about the London underworld and the political unrest that seethes there. Set in the late 19th century and written in James’s elegant, impressionistic style, The Princess Casamassima follows the life of bookbinder Hyacinth Robinson. The illegitimate son of a French woman imprisoned for murdering his father, Hyacinth is raised by an impoverished seamstress in a poor area of London.

“MS. Found in a Bottle” by Edgar Allan Poe is a haunting tale of maritime terror, mystery, and the unknown. First published in 1833, this classic short story follows a doomed narrator who survives a violent storm only to find himself aboard a ghostly ship crewed by silent, ancient sailors. As the vessel drifts deeper into a strange and otherworldly sea, the narrator records his final observations in a manuscript cast into the ocean.

In The Little Prince, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry provides a roadmap for the human soul. A stranded pilot meets a golden-haired boy from Asteroid B-612 who reveals the absurdity of "grown-ups"—those so consumed by authority and figures that they have forgotten how to live.

In The Man With Two Left Feet, P. G. Wodehouse invites you into a world where earnest intentions, impeccable logic, and a dash of romantic optimism collide in the most gloriously impractical ways. Here, intelligence may not save you, dignity is perpetually under threat, and even the simplest ambition can spiral into a masterpiece of comic misadventure. Wodehouse's genius lies not in what happens, but in how exquisitely it goes wrong. Expect charming absurdity, gentle satire, and that uniquely buoyant humour in which catastrophe never quite loses its elegance.

Two masterpieces of literature are united in this essential volume. The Little Prince and A Little Princess may appear different—one a philosophical fable of space travel, the other a grounded Victorian drama—but together they weave a tapestry of resilience and hope.

The First World War is over. Eric Vernon is on the cusp of adulthood.

The first novel in the English language — complete, unabridged, with two critical essays and a biographical afterword. In 1719, a bankrupt merchant, political spy, and Dissenting pamphleteer named Daniel Defoe published a book that would change the course of Western literature. Robinson Crusoe was not merely an adventure story. It was the invention of a new way of writing about human consciousness — and, as generations of readers and thinkers from Rousseau to Marx to Coetzee have recognized, a founding myth of the modern world. Crusoe is shipwrecked. Alone on an island for twenty-eight ...
