Nach einer behüteten Kindheit heiratet die 17jährige Effi, dem Willen ihrer Eltern entsprechend, den fast 20 Jahre älteren Baron von Innstetten, ein Jugendfreund ihrer Mutter, dem sie nach Kessin, einem kleinen Ort an der Ostsee folgt. In dem etwas unheimlich anmutenden Haus des Barons vereinsamt die junge, phantasievolle und lebhafte Effi, der es schwerfällt, in ihrer neuen Heimat Anschluß zu finden. Auch die Geburt ihrer Tochter kann sie nicht über ihre innere Vereinsamung hinwegtäuschen. Viel von ihrem Mann alleingelassen, geht Effi, der die Lüge eigentlich zuwider ist, fast gegen ihren Willen eine Liebesbeziehung zu dem neuen Bezirkskommandanten Crampas ein, der sie zuvor lange vergeblich umworben hatte. Diese eher leidenschaftslose Beziehung ist zu Effis Erleichterung beendet, als ihr Mann nach Berlin versetzt wird. Die Zeit in Berlin gestaltet sich harmonisch – bis Innstetten durch Zufall Briefe findet, die Crampas während der Kessiner Zeit an Effi geschrieben hatte.

Pride And Prejudice, the story of Mrs. Bennet's attempts to marry off her five daughters is one of the best-loved and most enduring classics in English literature. Excitement fizzes through the Bennet household at Longbourn in Hertfordshire when young, eligible Mr. Charles Bingley rents the fine house nearby. He may have sisters, but he also has male friends, and one of these—the haughty, and even wealthier, Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy—irks the vivacious Elizabeth Bennet, the second of the Bennet girls. She annoys him. Which is how we know they must one day marry. The romantic clash between the opinionated Elizabeth and Darcy is a splendid rendition of civilized sparring. As the characters dance a delicate quadrille of flirtation and intrigue, Jane Austen's radiantly caustic wit and keen observation sparkle.

Jane Austen was an English novelist known primarily for her six major novels, which interpret, critique and comment upon the British landed gentry at the end of the 18th century. Austen's plots often explore the dependence of women on marriage in the pursuit of favourable social standing and economic security. Her works critique the novels of sensibility of the second half of the 18th century and are part of the transition to 19th-century literary realism. Her use of biting irony, along with her realism, humour, and social commentary, have long earned her acclaim among critics, scholars, and popular audiences alike. With the publications of Sense and Sensibility (1811), Pride and Prejudice (1813), Mansfield Park (1814) and Emma (1816), she achieved success as a published writer. She wrote two additional novels, Northanger Abbey and Persuasion, both published posthumously in 1818, and began another, eventually titled Sanditon, but died before its completion. She also left behind three volumes of juvenile writings in manuscript, a short epistolary novel Lady Susan, and another unfinished novel, The Watsons. Her six full-length novels have rarely been out of print, although they were published anonymously and brought her moderate success and little fame during her lifetime.
This book contains : – Lady Susan – Sense and Sensibility – Pride and Prejudice – Mansfield Park – Emma – Persuasion – Northanger Abbey – The Watsons – Sanditon

Jonathan Swift's satirical take on human nature and the traveler narrative of the time is an enjoyable story for children and scholars alike. Gulliver's Travels is Swift's best known full-length work and tells the story of Lemuel Gulliver who seeks to travel the world. When he is shipwrecked, he washes up on the island of Lilliput. He is a captive of a race of tiny people with even tinier concerns. Gulliver escapes and voyages to seven other mythical lands, and in each, means strange people whose foibles illuminate Swift's audience. While Gulliver's Travels was written in 1713, it's popularity has endured as a classic work with many different interpretations.
