Das Schafschwein ist eines der bekanntesten Märchen von Dick King-Smith. Die Geschichte handelt von Babe, einem kleinen verwaisten Ferkel, das auf einer Messe von Farmer Hogget gewonnen wird. Er wird von Fly, der gutherzigen Schäferhündin, adoptiert und ist fest entschlossen, von ihr zu lernen. Babe weiß, dass er kein Schäferhund sein kann, aber vielleicht, nur vielleicht, könnte er ein Schafschwein werden. Die Erzählung ist unerwartet spannend und humorvoll. Dick King-Smith, der während des Zweiten Weltkriegs bei den Grenadier Guards diente und danach zwanzig Jahre als Landwirt in Gloucestershire arbeitete, ließ sich in vielen seiner Geschichten von seinen Erfahrungen als Bauer inspirieren. Er schrieb zahlreiche Kinderbücher, darunter Das Schafschwein, Harrys Verrücktheit, Noas Bruder, Die Königin hat eine Nase, Martins Mäuse, Ace, Das Kuckuckskind und Harriet und ihr Hase. 2009 wurde er für seine Verdienste um die Kinderliteratur zum OBE ernannt. Dick King-Smith starb 2011 im Alter von achtundachtzig Jahren.

[ Penguin Readers Level 2 ] The idea for this famous story came to du Maurier one day when she was walking across to Menabilly Barton farm from the house. She saw a farmer busily ploughing a field whilst above him the seagulls were diving and wheeling. She developed an idea about the birds becoming hostile and attacking him. In her story, the birds become hostile after a harsh winter with little food—first the seagulls, then birds of prey, and finally even small birds—all turn against mankind. The nightmarish vision appealed to Hitchcock who turned it into the celebrated film.

Der Horror, den die Vögel in dem kleinen Küstenort Bodega Bay verbreiten, ist unvergesslich. Im Mittelpunkt steht das Drama zwischen Mitch, Melanie und Anne.

Die Vögel werden zum Symbol für das Unbekannte und das Unkontrollierbare, während die Charaktere mit ihren eigenen Ängsten und Konflikten kämpfen.

»Sons and Lovers«, ein frühes Werk des 1930 mit nur 44 Jahren verstorbenen D. H. Lawrence, gilt als sein bester Roman. Als die Herausgeber der renommierten »Modern Library« 1999 die besten englischsprachigen Romane des 20. Jahrhunderts wählten, landete er auf Platz 9. Lawrence schrieb von 1910 bis 1912 vier Fassungen des Buchs, 1913 erschien eine erste, vom Verlag (v. a. um sexuelle Anspielungen) gekürzte Version, eine vollständige Fassung erst 1992; sie ist die Grundlage für diese Neuübersetzung. Der Roman ist autobiographisch geprägt. Die aus besseren Kreisen stammende Gertrude Coppard heiratet den Bergmann Walter Morel, in den sie sich bei einer Weihnachtsfeier verliebt hat. Ein erster Sohn, William, wird geboren, dann die Tochter Annie, schließlich, als die Liebe schon erkaltet ist und die Eheleute nur noch Verachtung füreinander empfinden, Paul. Gertrude wendet sich nun ganz ihren Söhnen zu. William, der eine vielversprechende Karriere in London begonnen hat, stirbt früh. Umso intensiver wird die Beziehung zu dem künstlerisch begabten Paul, den die Mutter mit ihrer erstickenden Liebe letztlich daran hindert, sein eigenes Glück zu finden.

The Wave is based on a true incident that occurred in a high school history class in Palo Alto, California, in 1969. The powerful forces of group pressure that pervaded many historic movements such as Nazism are recreated in the classroom when history teacher Burt Ross introduces a "new" system to his students. And before long The Wave , with its rules of "strength through discipline, community, and action", sweeps from the classroom through the entire school. And as most of the students join the movement, Laurie Saunders and David Collins recognize the frightening momentum of The Wave and realize they must stop it before it's too late.

Initially published under the pseudonym Currer Bell in 1847, Charlotte Brontë's Jane Eyre erupted onto the English literary scene, immediately winning the devotion of many of the world's most renowned writers, including William Makepeace Thackeray, who declared it a work "of great genius."

This Modern Library Paperback Classics edition includes a new Introduction by Diane Johnson, the National Book Award-nominated author of many novels, including Le Mariage and Le Divorce. The timeless story of Jane Eyre has arrived on Broadway as a spectacular new musical from an all-star production team, consisting of John Caird (Les Misérables, Nicholas Nickleby), who adapted and staged (with Scott Schwartz); composer Paul Gordon; designer John Napier (Cats, Les Misérables, Sunset Boulevard); costume designer Andreane Neofitou (Les Misérables, Miss Saigon); and lighting designers Jules Fisher and Peggy Eisenhauer, six-time winners of the Tonytm Award.

An eighty-foot yacht suddenly capsizes in the Aegean, leaving only six survivors. Then, minutes later, in the same area, an unidentified four-engine jet crashes into the sea. Are these twin disasters more than coincidence? Commander Talbot and the crew of the HMS Ariadne are assigned to retrieve from the ocean floor the jet's volatile cargo: atomic and hydrogen weaponry with the force to destroy millions. As the delicate operation proceeds, Talbot finds himself trapped in a whirl of nightmarish events involving terrorism and drugs -- and a diabolic plot that leads straight to the Pentagon.
