The Ingenious Hidalgo Don Quixote de la Mancha
ISBN : 9780140449099
Don Quixote has become so entranced by reading romance of chivalry that he determines a knight errant and pursue bold adventures, accompanied by his squire, the cunning Sancho Panza. As they roam the world together, the ageing Quixote's fancy leads them widly astray. As the same time the relationship between the two men grows with fascinating subtlely. Often considered to be the first modern novel, Don Quixote is a wonderful burlesque of the popular literature its discovered protagonist is obsessed with.
To Kill a Mockingbird
ISBN : 9781784752637
A lawyer's advice to his children as he defends the real mockingbird of Harper Lee's classic novel - a black man charged with the rape of a white girl. Through the young eyes of Scout and Jem Finch, Harper Lee explores with exuberant humour the irrationality of adult attitudes to race and class in the Deep South of the 1930s. The conscience of a town steeped in prejudice, violence and hypocrisy is pricked by the stamina of one man's struggle for justice. But the weight of history will only tolerate so much.
