Élve eltemetve
„Leek, aki megszűnt inas lenni s merőben emberi szervezetté süllyedt, bágyadtan, de mégis kereken megkérte, hagyja magára, mert – úgymond – eléggé jól érzi magát. Erre aztán a legirigyeltebb festő, a művészdicsőség és diadal jelképe, magára öltötte az inas jellegzetes bolhaszín-otthonkáját és – kellemetlen éjszakára fölkészülve – bele-vetette magát egy kemény karosszékbe. Újra csöngettek, s a kapu felől kemény, parancsoló kopogás hangja reszketett végig az elhagyott házon, vészjóslón, ijesztőn. Akárcsak a Halál kopogása volt volna. Magával hordozta azt a borzasztó sejtelmet: hátha csakugyan komolyan beteg? Priam Farll idegesen felugrott, hogy szembeszálljon a csöngetőkkel és kopogtatókkal…"

Riceyman Steps
The story takes place in 1919-1920 and deals with the final year in the life of its main character, Henry Earlforward, a miser, who keeps a second-hand bookshop in the Clerkenwell area of London. Henry marries Violet Arb, a widow who keeps a neighbouring shop, and who sees in Henry a financially secure future. Henry's parsimony drives them into an increasingly wretched existence.

The Card - Oxford Bookworms Library 3 - MP3 Pack
Every town should have a 'card' - someone who gets talked about, someone who does mad and wonderful things, someone who makes you laugh. Bursley in the Five Towns has a 'card': Edward Henry Machin (Denry for short). Denry begins life in a poor little house where the rent is twenty-three pence a week. But before he's thirty, he's made a lot of money, and had more adventures than you and I have had hot dinners. The town of Bursley never stops talking about him. Whatever will young Denry do next?
How to Live on 24 Hours a Day (EN)
With the advent of the modern corporate workplace in the twenty-first century, more and more people are toiling away behind desks, wearily clocking the standard forty-hour week. By 1910, writer Arnold Bennett had observed a worrying trend of exhausted wage earners whose waking hours revolved around their jobs and who had little time to spend on the business of actually living.

Tales of the Five Towns (EN)
At turns humorous, poignant, gripping, and occasionally tragic, this collection of short stories is peopled by a rich cast of characters. No one is all good or all bad in this volume, which includes "A Letter Home", Bennett’s first short story. "Tales of the Five Towns" delves further into the lives of the residents of the fictional "Five Towns", based on Bennett’s native Stoke-on-Trent, that Bennett also explores in novels like "Anna of the Five Towns" (1902) and "The Clayhanger Family" (1925).

Grand Hotel Babylon
Ha egy szállodában egymásnak adják a kilincset a földkerekség vagyonos, befolyásos, kutyabõrös, sõt koronás hírességei, akkor onnan az intrikusok, titkos ügynökök, cselszövõk sem hiányozhatnak: világos ez, mint a nap, ámbár sötét is, mint az éjszaka. Ha egy jöttment jenki multimilliomos arra vetemedik, hogy a Babylon szálló éttermében, kerül amibe kerül, közönséges rostélyost és portersört hozat vacsorára, magára vessen a következményekért. Ha egy szeszélyes leány hercegek dolgába ártja magát, majd felcsap botcsinálta detektívnek, számíthat rá, hogy nem mindenki fogja mentõangyalának tekinteni. A Grand Hotel Babylon ? gyanús és gyanútlan arisztokraták, minden hájjal megkent pénzemberek és gonosztevõk könnyed iróniával megírt története ? a legolvasottabb bûnügyi regények egyike.
