Dvojjazyčná verze známého příběhu o hraběti Drákulovi.
From “A Scandal in Bohemia,” in which Sherlock Holmes is famously outwitted by a woman, the captivating Irene Adler, to “The Five Orange Pips,” in which the master detective is pitted against the Ku Klux Klan, to “The Final Problem,” in which Holmes and his archenemy, Professor Moriarty, face each other in a showdown at the Reichenbach Falls, the stories that appear in The Adventures and Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes bear witness to the flowering of author Arthur Conan Doyle’s genius. “The plain fact,” the celebrated mystery writer Vincent Starrett asserted, “is that Sherlock Holmes is still a more commanding figure in the world than most of the warriors and statesmen in whose present existence we are invited to believe.”

"Wuthering Heights" appears in 1847 in an England constrained by Victorian propriety; it is the only novel by a twenty-eight-year-old writer nearing death from tuberculosis. Initially published in a limited number of copies, it does not attract much interest, but it later establishes itself as a singular masterpiece of English literature. Set in the solitary and wild moors of Yorkshire, it unfolds a tumultuous and destructive love affair. The intense contrasts between the inhabitants of a prosperous valley home and those of a farmhouse on a windy hill converge in the figure of the orphan Heathcliff. The contradictory and venomous human passions intertwine love with suffering and cruel revenge. The model of the "gothic" novel is transcended, rendered incandescent through symbolic suggestions and exceptional emotional intensity. The exploration of conflicting affections and extreme emotions does not compromise the precise style that dissects human understanding, infusing those unrecognizable transparencies with such a breath of life that they transcend reality. The appendix includes the most significant and touching letters from the rich correspondence of the Brontë family.
