Bronte Classics Jane Eyre order quantity
  +   -
 
NZ$ 27.00 each
Paperback
Author: Charlotte Bronte
Published by: Cameron House
In Stock: 2
Charlotte Bronte's most beloved novel describes the passionate love between the courageous orphan Jane Eyre and the brilliant, brooding, and domineering Rochester. The loneliness and cruelty of Jane's childhood strengthens her natural independence and spirit, which prove invaluable when she takes a position as a governess at Thornfield Hall. But after she falls in love with her sardonic employer, her discovery of his terrible secret forces her to make a heart-wrenching choice.
Ever since its publication in 1847, Jane Eyre has enthralled every kind of reader, from the most critical and cultivated to the youngest and most unabashedly romantic. It lives as one of the great triumphs of storytelling and as a moving and unforgettable portrayal of a woman's quest for self-respect.

This edition includes colour sections, an introduction, a Rethink, a Bronte Information piece, and a discussion on The Landscape of the Book, as well ... more

Jane Austen Classics Mansfield Park order quantity

NZ$ 27.00 each
Hardback
Author: Jane Austen
Published by: Cameron House
In Stock: 2
Adopted into the household of her uncle, Sir Thomas Bertram, Fanny Price grows up a meek outsider among her cousins in the unaccustomed elegance of Mansfield Park. Soon after Sir Thomas absents himself on estate business in Antigua, Mary Crawford and her brother Henry arrive at Mansfield, bringing with them London glamour, and the seductive taste for flirtation and theatre that precipitates a crisis. While Mansfield Park appears in some ways to continue where Pride and Prejudice left off, it is a much darker work, which challenges 'the very values (of tradition, stability, retirement and faithfulness) it appears to endorse'.

NZ$ 20.00 each
Paperback
Author: Paulo Coelho (tr from Portuguese Alan R Clarke) (illus Rodica Prato)
Published by: HarperCollins Publishers Inc
In Stock: 2
Every few decades a book is published that changes the lives of its readers forever. "The Alchemist" is such a book. With over a million and a half copies sold around the world, "The Alchemist" has already established itself as a modern classic, universally admired. Paulo Coelho's charming fable, now available in English for the first time, will enchant and inspire an even wider audience of readers for generations to come. "The Alchemist" is the magical story of Santiago, an Andalusian shepherd boy who yearns to travel in search of a worldly treasure as extravagant as any ever found. From his home in Spain he journeys to the markets of Tangiers and across the Egyptian desert to a fateful encounter with the alchemist. The story of the treasures Santiago finds along the way teaches us, as only a few stories have done, about the essential wisdom of listening to our hearts, learning to read the omens strewn along life's path, and, above ... more

Author: Homer
Published by: Arcturus Publishing Ltd
In Stock: 2
Trouble is brewing at the home of the Hero Ulysses, who has spent years fighting in the Trojan Wars and is now captive of the beautiful nymph Calypso. Hordes of suitors to his wife have invaded the family house, and Ulysses' son Telemachus sets out to find his father. Freed from the clutches of Calypso after the intervention of Jupiter, Ulysses begins his epic return journey.
The timesless themes of the Odyssey - survival, courage, loyalty and hospitality - have resonated with readers through the ages, making it the most enduring classic in western civilisation. This beautifully presented edition of Homer's Greek epic sets Alexander Pope's classic 1726 translation alongside images derived from John Flaxman's famous neoclassical designs.

Meet Ignatius J. Reilly: flatulent, eloquent and pretty much unemployable . . .

The ordinary folk of New Orleans seem to think he is unhinged as well. Ignatius ignores them as he heaves his vast bulk through the city's fleshpots in a noble crusade against vice, modernity and ignorance. But his momma has a nasty surprise in store for him. Ignatius must get a job. Undaunted, he uses his new-found employment to further his mission – and now he has a pirate costume and a hot-dog cart to do it with . . .

'The story goes that a sow who had delivered a whole litter of piglets loudly accosted a lioness. "How many children do you breed?" asked the sow. "I breed only one", said the lioness, "but it is very well bred!"' The fables of Aesop have become one of the most enduring traditions of European culture, ever since they were first written down nearly two millennia ago. Aesop was reputedly a tongue-tied slave who miraculously received the power of speech; from his legendary storytelling came the collections of prose and verse fables scattered throughout Greek and Roman literature. First published in English by Caxton in 1484, the fables and their morals continue to charm modern readers: who does not know the story of the tortoise and the hare, or the boy who cried wolf? This new translation is the first to represent all the main fable collections in ancient Latin and Greek, arranged according to the fables' contents and themes. It ... more
