Àííîòàöèÿ: This book tells the story of David Copperfield, orphaned as a boy and cast out by a brutal stepfather to earn his living. At the age of ten, David is forced into a life of drudgery, poverty and loneliness. As he struggles to make a life for himself, we meet his eccentric Aunt Betsey, his trusted friends and the lovely Agnes. As the story unfolds we read of treachery and betrayal before he eventually finds fame and fortune as a writer and peace and contenment with his loved ones.

Àííîòàöèÿ: There are as many different kinds of Buddhism as there are Christian sects. Here Professor Mansel Davies introduces us to Theravada Buddhism and finds in it many parallels to the outlook which presently dominates the scientific community. Just as the empirical scientist invites the student to verify and —Come and See— the results of his explorations, so does the Buddha. One of the truths he intuitively realised twenty-five hundred years ago was that no dividing line can be drawn between a man, a tree or a mountain. Now twentieth century science itself accepts that even those boundaries we have constructed between the living and non-living are not needed.

Àííîòàöèÿ: The people s guide to London provides a well-illustrated panorama of London life since the Romans, complete with maps, two useful indexes, the opening hours of places mentioned in the book, and a guide to further reading.

Àííîòàöèÿ: This title is edited, along with an introduction, by David Stuart Davies. The figure of my wife came in...it came straight towards the bed...its wide eyes were open and looked at me with love unspeakable . Edith Nesbit, best known as the author of The Railway Children and other children's classics, was also the mistress of the ghost story and tales of terror. She was able to create genuinely chilling narratives in which the returning dead feature strongly. Sadly, these stories have been neglected for many years, but now, at last, they are back in print. In this wonderful collection of eerie, flesh-creeping yarns, we encounter love that transcends the grave, reanimated corpses, vampiric vines, vengeful ghosts and other dark delights to make you feel fearful. These vintage spooky stories, tinged with horror, are told in a bold, forthright manner that makes them seem as fresh and unsettling as today's headlines

Àííîòàöèÿ: This title is edited, along with an introduction, by David Stuart Davies. Have you ever heard of the fascination of terror? This is a unique collection of strange stories from the cunning pen of Wilkie Collins, author of The Woman in White and The Moonstone.
