Mystery of Edwin Drood
In the wakeful misery of the night, girded by sordid realities, or wandering through Paradises and Hells of visions...I loved you madly'. Dickens' last novel is a mystery built around a presumed crime - the murder of a nephew by his uncle. Dickens died before completing the story, leaving the mystery unsolved and encouraging successive generations of readers to turn detective. Beyond the preoccupying fact of this intriguing crime, however, the novel also offers readers a characteristically Dickensian mix of the fantastical world of the imagination and a vibrantly journalistic depiction of gritty reality.

Five Orange Pips
He is the Napoleon of crime, Watson ...He sits motionless, like a spider in the centre of its web, but that web has a thousand radiations, and he knows well every quiver of each of them' Sherlock Holmes, scourge of criminals everywhere, whether they be lurking in London's foggy backstreets or plotting behind the walls of an idyllic country mansion, and his faithful colleague Dr Watson, solve these breathtaking and perplexing mysteries. In Arthur Conan Doyle's "The Five Orange Pips and Other Cases" we encounter some of his most famous and devilishly difficult problems. The Penguin English Library includes 100 editions of the best fiction in English, from the eighteenth century and the very first novels to the beginning of the First World War.
Secret Agent
Madness and despair! Give me that for a lever, and I'll move the world'. In the only novel Conrad set in London, The Secret Agent communicates a profoundly ironic view of human affairs. The story is woven around an attack on the Greenwich Observatory in 1894 masterminded by Verloc, a Russian spy working for the police, and ostensibly a member of an anarchist group in Soho. His masters instruct him to discredit the anarchists in a humiliating fashion, and when his evil plan goes horribly awry, Verlac must deal with the repercussions of his actions.

Petr Čech
Petr Čech - u nás "Čechíno", v Anglii "Mr. Perfect", tedy "Pan Dokonalý", a pro fotbalový svět opět nejlepší gólman. Petr Čech se jím stal už v roce 2005, kdy získal s Chelsea podruhé titul mistra Anglie. Už na podzim 2006 však úžasnou kariéru mimořádně nadaného kluka z Plzně přeruší těžké zranění hlavy. Stephen Hunt z Readingu způsobí Petrovi frakturu lebky. Kariéra mohla být najednou u konce. Petr Čech se ale díky neuvěřitelné vůli už za tři měsíce vrací mezi tyče. V březnu 2007 se po utkání Ligy mistrů Chelsea s Portem autor zeptá kouče José Mourinha na příští cestu talentovaného brankáře a magický "Mou" s přirozenou grácií odpoví: "Petr je zpátky, a věřte mi, bude ještě lepší, než byl!"
Člověka až napadne, nejsou si oba v něčem podobní? Nepochybně, oba spojuje vidina nejvyšších cílů. Ač na ně dosahují, míří za dalšími. I Čech, stejně jako Mourinho, je obdařen touto, jakousi, rozdílovou vlastností, jíž se jako mimořádný s puncem génia odlišuje od nejlepších.Autor jde po stopách novodobého gladiátora mezi tyčemi a zajímá se, zda je Petr Čech skutečně tak dokonalý, jak se o něm píše, ale hlavně zkoumá, proč a čím se postupně vypracoval na nejlepšího gólmana planety. A onen "prapůvod nesnesitelné lehkosti brankářova bytí" skutečně nalézá a dobírá se podstaty Petrova nezpochybnitelného úspěchu.
Čechova světová sportovní celebrita je však uvnitř tím skromným chlapcem z plzeňské Viktorky i sídlištního paneláku. Prostě "Čechínem", jak mu tam dodnes říkají kluci a holky a také mladí brankáři, jež trénuje ve své vlastní škole. Jejich idol a vzor je ale stejně tak znám svou náročností i výjimečnou pracovitostí a inteligencí, skvělou hlavu, jež řídí jeho unikátní lidskou i sportovní kariéru. Taková je opora hvězdné Chelsea, dnes nepochybně největší fotbalový diamant Romana Abramoviče. I díky Petrově skvělé práci zdobí "Blues" tři tituly za triumf v nejprestižnější soutěži světa, Premier League. Chelsea také díky jeho umění vybojuje tolik vytoužený ušatý pohár vítěze Champions League 2012. A Mr. Perfect si splní další sen, když se pod finálové drama s Bayernem podepíše třemi chycenými penaltami.
Plných jedenáct let je také pilířem reprezentace, s níž z EURO 2004 přivezl bronz. Dnes máme právo se domnívat, že s Petrem Čechem máme šance i na letošním EURO v Polsku a na Ukrajině. Sám hlavní hrdina knihy, který společně s dalším lídrem Tomášem Rosickým povede Česko do boje o evropský trůn, řekl hodně výmluvné: "Překvapíme!"
Že by se třeba opakovala "stříbrná"Anglie 1996, kdy jsme jeli na Evropu také v roli outsiderů?

Melmoth the Wanderer
My hour is come ...the clock of eternity is about to strike, but its knell must be unheard by mortal ears!'. This violent, profound, baroque and blackly humorous novel is the story of Melmoth, who has sold his soul in exchange for immortality in a satanic bargain, and now preys on the helpless in their darkest moments, offering to ease their suffering if they will take his place and release him from his centuries of tortured wanderings. "Melmoth the Wanderer" (1820) blended Gothic fiction and psychological realism to create a work of hallucinatory power.

Evelina
O Sir, how much uneasiness must I suffer, to counterbalance one short morning of happiness!' In this comic and sharply incisive satire of excess and affectations, beautiful young Evelina falls victim to the rakish advances of Sir Clement Willoughby on her entrance to the world of fashionable London. Colliding with the manners and customs of a society she doesn't understand, she finds herself without hope that she should ever deserve the attention of the man she loves. Frances Burney's first novel brilliantly sends up eighteenth-century society - and its opinions of women - while enticingly depicting its delights. The Penguin English Library - 100 editions of the best fiction in English, from the eighteenth century and the very first novels to the beginning of the First World War.
Lady Audley`s Secret
Lady Audley uttered a long, low, wailing cry, and threw up her arms above her head with a wild gesture of despair'. In this outlandish, outrageous triumph of scandal fiction, a new Lady Audley arrives at the manor: young, beautiful - and very mysterious. Why does she behave so strangely? What, exactly, is the dark secret this seductive outsider carries with her? A huge success in the nineteenth century, the book's anti-heroine - with her good looks and hidden past - embodied perfectly the concerns of the Victorian age with morality and madness. This is the Penguin English Library - 100 editions of the best fiction in English, from the eighteenth century and the very first novels to the beginning of the First World War.

The private memoirs and confessions of a justified sinner
He was constantly harassed with the idea, that the next time he lifted his eyes, he would to a certainty see that face, the most repulsive to all his feelings of aught the earth contained'. A nightmarish tale of religious fanaticism and darkness, this chilling classic of the macabre tells the tale of Robert Wringhim, drawn in his moral confusion into committing the most monstrous acts by an evil doppelganger. James Hogg's masterpiece is as troublingly duplicitous as Wringhim himself, and was ignored and bowdlerized before becoming a hugely influential work of Scottish literature.

Murders in the Rue Morgue
...an agility astounding, a strength superhuman, a ferocity brutal, a butchery without motive, a grotesquerie in horror absolutely alien from humanity...' Horror, madness, violence and the dark forces hidden in humanity abound in this collection of Poe's brilliant tales, including - among others - the bloody, brutal and baffling murder of a mother and daughter in Paris in "The Murders in the Rue Morgue", the creeping insanity of "The Tell-Tale Heart", the Gothic nightmare of "The Masque of the Red Death", and the terrible doom of "The Fall of the House of Usher". The Penguin English Library - 100 editions of the best fiction in English, from the eighteenth century and the very first novels to the beginning of the First World War.
Moby Dick
The frail gunwales bent in, collapsed, and snapped, as both jaws, like an enormous shears, sliding further aft, bit the craft completely in twain...' "Moby-Dick" is one of the most expansive feats of imagination in the whole of literature: the mad, raging, Shakespearean tale of Captain Ahab's insane quest to kill a giant white whale that has taken his leg, and upon which he has sworn vengeance, at any cost. A creation unlike any other, this is an epic story of fatal monomania and the deepest dreams and obsessions of mankind. The Penguin English Library - 100 editions of the best fiction in English, from the eighteenth century and the very first novels to the beginning of the First World War.
Frankenstein
Never did I behold a vision so horrible as his face, of such loathsome, yet appalling hideousness'. A twisted, upside-down creation myth, Mary Shelley's chilling Gothic tale lays bare the dark side of science, and the horror within us all. It tells the story of Victor Frankenstein, who plunders graveyards to create a new being from the bodies of the dead - but whose botched creature causes nothing but murder and destruction. Written after a nightmare when its author was only eighteen, "Frankenstein" gave birth to the modern science fiction novel. The Penguin English Library - 100 editions of the best fiction in English, from the eighteenth century and the very first novels to the beginning of the First World War.
Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
'I'm unfavorable to killin' a man as long as you can get around it; it ain't good sense, it ain't good morals. Ain't I right?' The original Great American Novel, an incomparable adventure story and a classic of anarchic humour, Twain's masterpiece sees Huckleberry Finn and Jim the slave escape their difficult lives by fleeing down the Mississippi on a raft. There, they find steamships, feuding families, an unlikely Duke and King and vital lessons about the world in which they live. With its unforgettable cast of characters, Hemingway called this 'the best book we've ever had'.
