Classic Ghost Stories by Wilkie Collins, M. R. James, Charles Dickens and Others

Charles Dickens

A Christmas Carol, The Chimes, The Cricket on the Hearth

Along with "The Chimes" and "The Cricket on the Hearth", "A Christmas Carol" celebrates the joys of the festive season. Each of these books is politically provocative and aims to stimulate the reader's pity and charity for the poor, but the tone is so intimate and the style so humorous that poverty and ignorance yield to generosity and compassion.

The beautiful Scheherazade`s royal husband threatens to kill her, so each night she diverts him by weaving wonderful tales of fantastic adventure, leaving each story unfinished so that he spares her life to hear the ending on the morrow. This is the background to the `Arabian Nights`. In this selection made by that master of folklore and fairy-tale Andrew Lang, the reader meets Aladdin with his wonderful lamp, the Enchanted Horse, the Princess Badoura, Sindbad the Sailor, and the great Caliph of Bagdad, Haroun-al-Raschid. The stories are beautifully illustrated by H.J.Ford.

With the collapse of the Soviet Union and the rise of free speech (and publishing), Russian women have become a force in the world of letters. Where in the past they were known chiefly as literary widows or devoted wives, occasionally as poets or critics, and only very rarely as novelists, today they are beginning to dominate publishing lists in fiction and non-fiction alike. Glas's third collection of top women writers, nine includes three internationally known names - Ludmila Petrushevskaya, Ludmila Ulitskaya, and Svetlana Alexiyevich - as well as half a dozen other foremost women authors appearing here for the first time in English.

War and Peace: a compelling portrait of post-post-perestroika Russia. War and Peace: brings together 12 stories by new generation of Russian writers. These 'state of the nation' stories imaginatively explore current Russian definitions of war and peace. War: controversial stories about life in the modern Russian army where the continuing war in the Caucasus has bred discontent and corruption. Peace: stories from the frontline of contemporary life for women in Russia - from relationships and violence to aging and the generation gap. "Glas is a first-rate series...
