This delightful and (in its way) almost obscure Tom Sawyer story picks up in the aftermath of Tom and Huck's triumphal return from the pages of Huckleberry Finn: Tom, always looking for trouble, finds it when he sets out to become Hannibal's First Traveler. Tom, Huck, and Jim find themselves kidnapped by a mad inventor, sailing cross the Atlantic and into Arabian adventure on a hot-air balloon -- and that's only the beginning! Highly recommended; like all of Twain, a pleasure to read.

Since first appearing in All-Story Weekly magazine in 1914, Burroughs's tale of a secret prehistoric world still in existence has remained popular both in print and as fodder for numerous films. This commemorative edition offers the full text along with a map of the fictional land of Pellucidar, illustrations, a glossary, and both a new introduction and an afterword on the science used in the story. This may be a little corny by today's standards, but it's still fun.

1913. From the play of Bayard Veiller. The book begins: The lids of the girl's eyes lifted slowly, and she stared at the panel of light in the wall. Just at the outset, the act of seeing made not the least impression on her numbed brain. For a long time she continued to regard the dim illumination in the wall with the same passive fixity of gaze. Apathy still lay upon her crushed spirit. In a vague way, she realized her own inertness, and rested in it gratefully, subtly fearful lest she again arouse to the the full horror of her plight. In a curious subconscious fashion, she was striving to hold on to this deadness of sensation, thus to win a little respite from the torture that had exhausted her soul.

Dostoevsky's last and greatest novel, The Karamazov Brothers (1880) is both a brilliantly told crime story and a passionate philosophical debate. The dissolute landowner Fyodor Pavlovich Karamazov is murdered; his sons--the atheist intellectual Ivan, the hot-blooded Dmitry, and the saintly novice Alyosha--are all involved at some level. Brilliantly bound up with this psychological drama is Dostoevsky's intense and disturbing exploration of many deeply felt ideas about the existence of God, freedom of will, the collective nature of guilt, and the disastrous consequences of rationalism. Filled with eloquent voices, this new translation fully realizes the power and dramatic virtuosity of Dostoevsky's most brilliant work. 　　老卡拉马佐夫贪婪好色，独占妻子留给儿子们的遗产，并与长子德米特里为一个风流女子争风吃醋。一天黑夜，德米特里疑心自己的情人去跟老头儿幽会，便闯入家园，一怒之下，差点把老头儿砸死。他仓皇逃离后，躲在暗中装病的老卡拉马佐夫的私生子斯乜尔加科夫悄然杀死老爷，造成了一桩震惊全俄的扑朔迷离的血案，从而引发一连串惊心动魄的事件。作品展示了错综复杂的社会、家庭矛盾和人性悲剧，体现了作家一生的最高艺术成就。
