Jane Eyre ranks as one of the greatest and most perennially popular works of English fiction. Although the poor but plucky heroine is outwardly of plain appearance, she possesses an indomitable spirit, a sharp wit and great courage.

She is forced to battle against the exigencies of a cruel guardian, a harsh employer and a rigid social order. All of which circumscribe her life and position when she becomes governess to the daughter of the mysterious, sardonic and attractive Mr Rochester.

However, there is great kindness and warmth in this epic love story, which is set against the magnificent backdrop of the Yorkshire moors. Ultimately the grand passion of Jane and Rochester is called upon to survive cruel revelation, loss and reunion, only to be confronted with tragedy.

Jane Eyre is one of the most beloved and enduring classics of English literature. The novel follows the life of its titular character, Jane, an orphan who rises from a harsh childhood to become a governess at the mysterious Thornfield Hall. There, she encounters the enigmatic Mr. Rochester, with whom she forms a deep, complicated bond. Brontë masterfully weaves a tale of passion, morality, and personal growth, as Jane grapples with themes of independence, social justice, and the search for self-identity.

This particular 1930s edition from Grosset & Dunlap’s Universal Library Series captures the elegance of Brontë’s work, presenting it alongside its original dust jacket—bright, vibrant, and a rare survivor of its era. The jacket features a stunning design by the renowned illustrator Alfred Skrenda, known for his dynamic and dramatic cover artwork. This beautifully designed edition invites readers to immerse themselves in the timeless story of love, struggle, and empowerment. — Quick view Add to Cart

There is something epic--and almost mythic--about this sparsely beautiful novel by Willa Cather, although the story it tells is that of a single human life lived simply in the silence of the southwestern desert. In 1851 Father Jean Marie Latour comes to serve as the Apostolic Vicar to New Mexico. What he finds is a vast territory of red hills and tortuous arroyos, American by law but Mexican and Indian in custom and belief. In the almost forty years that follow, Latour spreads his faith in the only way he knows--gently, all the while contending with an unforgiving landscape, derelict and sometimes openly rebellious priests, and his own loneliness. Out of these events, Cather gives us an indelible vision of life unfolding in a place where time itself seems suspended. — Quick view Add to Cart

"I am a sick man...I am a wicked man. With this sentence Fyodor Dostoevsky began one of the most revolutionary novels ever written, a work that marks the frontier, not only between nineteenth and twentieth century fiction, but between two centuries visions of the self. For the unnamed narrator of Notes from Underground is a multiplicity of selves, each at war with the others--all at war with everything else.

Now Richard Pevear and Larissa Volohonsky, whose translations of Crime and Punishment and The Brothers Karamazov have become the standard versions in English, give us a superb new edition of Dostoevsky's classic that conveys both the tragedy and tormented comedy of the original Russian. — Quick view

“I am a sick man… I am a wicked man.” With this shocking declaration, Fyodor Dostoevsky launched one of the most groundbreaking works in world literature. Notes from Underground stands at a threshold—not only between nineteenth- and twentieth-century fiction, but between two radically different visions of the human self. Its nameless narrator is a fractured consciousness: a man of many selves, all in conflict with one another, and with the world at large.

Now, Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky—renowned for their definitive English translations of Crime and Punishment and The Brothers Karamazov—offer a superb new rendering of this classic, capturing both its tragic depth and its dark, ironic comedy. — Quick view
