Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra hat eine Figur geschaffen, die sprichwörtlich geworden ist für den Kampf des Idealisten gegen die Windmühlen der Realität: Don Quijote. Der arme Ritter und sein Diener Sancho Pansa haben den Kampf gegen das Vergessen gewonnen: Der Roman zählt seit 1605 zu den größten Werken der Weltliteratur. Die Erfolgsausgabe mit den kongenialen Illustrationen Grandvilles von 1848 erscheint jetzt zu Cervantes' 450. Geburtstag in neuer Ausstattung.
Mary Shelley’s haunting adventure about ambition and modernity run amok. Obsessed by creating life itself, Victor Frankenstein plunders graveyards for the material to fashion a new being, which he shocks into life by electricity. But his botched creature, rejected by Frankenstein and denied human companionship, sets out to destroy his maker and all that he holds dear. This chilling gothic tale, begun when Mary Shelley was just nineteen years old, would become the world’s most famous work of horror fiction and remains a devastating exploration of the limits of human creativity.
