Tess of the d'Urbervilles
Young Tess Durbeyfield attempts to restore her family's fortunes by claiming their connection with the aristocratic d'Urbervilles. But Alec d'Urberville is a rich wastrel who seduces her and makes her life miserable. When Tess meets Angel Clare, she is offered true love and happiness, but her past catches up with her and she faces an agonizing moral choice.Hardy's indictment of society's double standards, and his depiction of Tess as "a pure woman," caused controversy in his day and has held the imagination of readers ever since. Hardy thought it his finest novel, and Tess the most deeply felt character he ever created.

Muži mi to vysvetlia
Vo svojej komickej, ostrej eseji s názvom Muži mi to vysvetlia pomenúva Rebecca Solnit častý problém rozhovorov medzi mužmi a ženami. Píše o mužoch, ktorí mylne predpokladajú, že niečo vedia a mylne predpokladajú, že ženy to nevedia; píše o tom, kde táto domnienka pramení a ako funguje v praxi.
V knihe je okrem tejto, dnes už známej eseje, šesť ďalších vrátane zamyslenia nad spôsobom, akým spisovateľka Virginia Woolfová prijala tajomstvo, nevedomosť, pochybnosť a dvojznačnosť; originálne skúmanie rovnosti v manželstve a desivé zhrnutie rozsahu násilia páchaného na ženách.
Rebecca Solnit svojím čitateľsky prístupným štýlom dokazuje, že je jednou z najvplyvnejších mysliteliek feministického hnutia.
„Muži mi to stále vysvetľujú. A žiaden z nich sa mi nikdy neospravedlnil za to, že mi nesprávne vysvetľoval niečo, čo poznám, a on nie.“

The Castle of Otranto
The Castle of Otranto is a 1764 novel by Horace Walpole. It is generally regarded as the first gothic novel, and it was indeed the first novel to describe itself by that term. Castle is thus generally credited with initiating the Gothic literary genre, one that would become extremely popular in the later 18th century and early 19th century. Thus, Walpole is arguably the forerunner of such authors as Charles Robert Maturin, Ann Radcliffe, Bram Stoker, and Daphne du Maurier.

The Young Fur Traders
Follows the adventures of a young man called Charles Kennedy. Loosely autobiographical account of Ballantyne's own time with the Hudson's Bay Company in Canada. Its success prompted a series of excellent stories of adventure for the young with which this prolific Scottish author's name is popularly associated. In the very center of the great continent of North America, far removed from the abodes of civilized men, and about twenty miles to the south of Lake Winnipeg, exists a colony composed of Indians, Scotsmen, and French-Canadians, which is known by the name of Red River Settlement. Although far removed from the civilized world, and containing within its precincts much that is savage and very little that is refined, Red River is quite a populous paradise, as compared with the desolate, solitary establishments of the Hudson's Bay Fur Company.

The Tell-Tale Heart
"The Tell-Tale Heart" is a short story by Edgar Allan Poe first published in 1843. It follows an unnamed narrator who insists on his sanity after murdering an old man with a "vulture eye". The murder is carefully calculated, and the murderer hides the body by cutting it into pieces and hiding it under the floorboards. Ultimately the narrator's guilt manifests itself in the hallucination that the man's heart is still beating under the floorboards.It is unclear what relationship, if any, the old man and his murderer share. It has been suggested that the old man is a father figure or, perhaps, that his vulture eye represents some sort of veiled secret. The ambiguity and lack of details about the two main characters stand in stark contrast to the specific plot details leading up to the murder.The story was first published in James Russell Lowell's The Pioneer in January 1843. "The Tell-Tale Heart" is widely considered a classic of the Gothic fiction genre and one of Poe's most famous short stories.

The story is told by an old man who reveals that he only appears old - "You suppose me a very old man," he says, "but I am not.
