McTeague
McTeague (1899) chronicles the demise of a San Francisco couple at the end of the nineteenth century. Inspired by an actual crime that was sensationalized in the San Francisco papers, it tells the story of charlatan dentist McTeague, his wife Trina, and their spiralling descent into moral corruption. Norris is often considered to be the `American Zola'', and this is one of the most purely naturalistic American novels of the nineteenth century. With its compelling portrayal of human nature at its most basic level, McTeague is a gripping and passionate tale of greed, degeneration and death. It is also one of the first major works of literature to set in California, and it provided the story for Erich von Stroheim''s classic of the silent screen, Greed. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World''s Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford''s commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

The Faithful Dark
This is the city of miracles, but not everything miraculous is good.
In a holy walled city where sin and sanctity are revealed through touch, Csilla - a girl born without a soul - is worth little to the Church that raised her. But when a series of murders corrodes the faithful magic that keep the city safe, the Church elders see a use for her flaw: she can assassinate their prime suspect, a heretic with divine heritage, without risking the stain of sin.
The heretic, however, makes Csilla a counteroffer: clear his name by helping him catch the real killer, and he'll use his angelic gifts to grant her very own soul.
Meanwhile, ruthless Ilan, desperate to earn back his position as Church Inquisitor, sees the case as his chance at redemption: he'll bring in the murderer - or, failing that, Csilla and the heretic - and regain his title.
But as the death toll rises, and their hunt pits them against the all-powerful and callous Faith, Csilla finds herself torn. Will her salvation come at the cost of everything she believes in?
The Flirting Game
My new neighbour is a hot, grumpy hockey player who works out shirtless on his porch every morning. But it's not technically spying if I just happen to be on my patio at the same time. . . right?
Imagine my surprise when the sexy grouch turns out to be the client who just hired me to redecorate the house he's giving his mom.
What's a ray of sunshine like me to do? Pretend I've never noticed his abs while we pick out furniture - since I'd never date a client. And Ford Devon? He's made it clear this is his final season, and he wants zero distractions.
Which means I need to exercise some serious resistance. . . To his cool blue eyes that track my every move. To that deep voice that makes me shiver. And to the mouth that shuts me up one night in our shared backyard with a scorching kiss.
Oops.
We agree it's a one-time slip up. But when he insists on being my date to my cheating ex's party. . . we slip up again into a very fun sleepover. With our dogs watching!
One fake date at a charity gala turns into another at a hockey game, and somewhere between fabric swatches and porch picnics, I stop pretending.
But how do I convince Ford that with me, he can have both love and hockey?
Tropes:
- ice hockey romance
- neighbours-to-lovers
- grumpy x sunshine
- fake dating

The Romance Line
The first rule of handling PR for a hockey team? Never hook up with a player.
That shouldn't be a problem since the last man on earth I want to give an image makeover to is our goalie. He's infuriatingly hot, famously grumpy and lives to spar with me after every game.
Shining up his rough edges is my path to landing the promotion I need, so I grit my teeth and do my job, no matter how hard he makes it.
As I get to know the man behind the broody iceman exterior, he becomes impossible to resist and soon, only once turns into every night.
But the man is entirely off limits.
Because the only thing worse than hooking up with a player is falling head over heels for him.
Tropes:
- ice hockey romance
- grumpy/sunshine
- player and publicist
- forbidden romance
- workplace romance
- secret dates
- hate to love
Srdce chuligána
Dospívání mezi zákazy a beatem
Slovácký venkov, dusno normalizace a kluk, který se snaží vidět radostnější tvář světa skrze nezávislou kulturu. A taky být tak trochu „on the road“ — samozřejmě v mezích možností. A první lásky? Ty jsou věčné, neohrabané a krásné za všech okolností. Dny se střídají jako rozmazané obrazy zahlédnuté z řetízkového kolotoče: tvrdý otec, učňák, tovární směny a řeka se svou štěrkovnou a pak ony vytoužené úniky k nepovoleným a polooficiálním koncertům, kde ke štěstí stačí pivo z kelímku, po půlnoci otřískané kytary a spacák. I o ten však lze snadno přijít pod ranami obušků příslušníků Veřejné bezpečnosti.
Větříškovo vyprávění má autentickou, až dokumentární podobu, to když vzpomíná na legendární hudební akce své doby, ovšem jeho text se dá vnímat i jako „pravdivý příběh“ jedné generace, pro kterou byla hudba vším: poutem i živou vodou přinášející svobodu, odvahu, naději. Je to syrový i dojemný, nesentimentální příběh o lidském dozrávání, něze i temnotě. Ale hlavně o tom, jak se i v nevábných časech dá žít na plný plyn.

Done and Dusted - Bevégeztetett
A lány tiltólistás, a srác pedig sosem követi a szabályokat...
Clementine ,,Emmy" Rydernek életében először fogalma sincs, mit csináljon. Mindent kipipált a teendői listáján. Elhagyta szülővárosát, főiskolára ment, és nevet szerzett magának kedvenc elfoglaltságával: a lovaglással. Amikor azonban egy sérülés legyőzhetetlen akadályt gördít elé, a karrierjét, a lakását és a fiúját otthagyva visszatér szülővárosába, ahonnan egész életében menekülni próbált.
Luke Brooks Meadowlark hírhedt rosszfiúja, bártulajdonos és agglegény. Egyben a Ryder család ötödik, nem hivatalos tagja, aki egész gyermekkorát Emmy bosszantásával töltötte.
Évek óta nem látta legjobb barátja kishúgát, de amikor a lány besétál a bárjába (és az életébe), nem tudja levenni róla a szemét.
Brooks úgy dönt, hogy a végére jár annak, hogy miért tért vissza Emmy a városba, és mi oltotta ki az örökös tüzet a szemében. Legalábbis ezt mondja magának...
Ahogy forrósodik a levegő kettejük között, egyre nehezebb távol tartania magát a lánytól. Vajon Brooks visszaadhatja a szikrát? Vagy mindketten a lángok martalékává válnak?

Don't Let the Forest In - Ne engedd be az erdőt!
Thomasnak fogalma sem volt arról, hogy Andrew bármit megtenne érte. Megvédené. Hazudna érte. Gyilkolna érte.
A végzős gimnazista Andrew Perrault egyetlen menedékét horrorisztikus meséi jelentik, amiket Thomasnak ír, annak, aki egyedüliként tud segíteni neki, hogy megbirkózzon a valósággal. Andrew, akinek lány ikertestvére, Dove a tanév elején megmagyarázhatatlanul távolságtartóvá válik,
egyre inkább barátjára támaszkodik.
Valami furcsa dolog történik azonban Thomasszal. Bántalmazó szülei rejtélyesen eltűnnek, ő pedig véres ruhában érkezik meg az évnyitóra. Thomas semmit nem árul el, Andrew kérdéseit pedig rendre hárítja. Sőt, Thomast kísérteni kezdi valami, és már az alkotásban sem leli örömét, holott imádta
megrajzolni az Andrew történeteiben felbukkanó hátborzongató szörnyeket.
Andrew elszántan igyekszik kideríteni, mi történhetett a barátjával, ezért egy éjszaka követni kezdi Thomast. Amint a fiú kimerészkedik a bentlakásos iskola határain túli tiltott erdőbe, ahol hirtelen
egy rémálomszerű szörnnyel kerül szembe, Thomas rajzai életre kelnek, és mindenkit megölnek, aki közel áll hozzá.
Hogy senki más ne halhasson meg, a két fiú éjszakáról éjszakára ádáz harcot vív a szörnyekkel. Ahogy azonban egyre jobban megszállottjai lesznek egymásnak, úgy a szörnyekkel is ugyanez történik,
Andrew pedig attól tart, hogy a lények elpusztításának
egyetlen módja az, ha a teremtőjüket is elpusztítja...
Pas de Don't - Pas de nem!
Heather egész életében követte a szabályokat... talán itt az ideje, hogy végre megszegjen egyet.
Heather Hays végre mindent megkapott, amiért eddig dolgozott: előléptették első táncosnőnek, és megkérte a kezét örök szerelme, az elismert balett-tehetség, Jack Andersen. Amikor azonban fény derül
Jack hűtlenségére, Heather majdnem tökéletes élete összeomlik.
Ezután minden erejével bizonyítani akarja, hogy a saját érdemei alapján jutott fel a csúcsra, és vendégszereplő lesz az egyetlen társulatnál, amely hajlandó Jack nélkül is alkalmazni: az Ausztrál Nemzeti Balettnél.
Itt találkozik Marcus Campbell-lel, aki pokoli évet tud maga mögött. Amikor a színpadon Achilles-ín-szakadást szenved, minden esélye elvész arra, hogy apja még a halála előtt láthassa őt fellépni. Marcus ezután hónapokat tölt fizikoterápiával, és attól fél, hogy mire teljesen felépül, már túl idős lesz a tánchoz. Most pedig a társulat újonnan érkezett tagjának idegenvezetőjét kell eljátszania.
Ahogy együtt járják Sydney utcáit, Heather és Marcus között azonnal kölcsönös vonzalom alakul ki – olyan, amellyel egyáltalán nem tudnak mit kezdeni. Az ANB szigorúan tiltja a randikat, és a románcnak még a gyanúja is az állásukba kerülhet.
Add át magad a balett és a szerelem hívó szavának!

Nowhere Burning
The Nowhere Children are expecting you...
High in the mountains sits Nowhere, a verdant valley surrounded by walls of rock. People have lived at Nowhere for centuries, though never for long, and rarely happily.
Its last owner was its most famous: movie star Leaf Winham, who built Nowhere House as a refuge to hide from his fame... and to hide his crimes. Only when Nowhere House went up in flames were the graves discovered, the last resting places of lost young men who would never go home.
Years later, Nowhere valley has become a sanctuary for runaway children, a place where adults cannot enter. Drawn by this promise, fourteen-year-old Riley pulls her brother Oliver from his bed in the middle of the night, hoping to find a new family. But the Nowhere Children are fierce in defending their valley and their secrets.
For something dark lives in the ruins of Nowhere House, something that asks a terrible price for sanctuary...

A Beast Slinks Towards Beijing
Qianze has not seen her father in eleven years, since he walked out of her life the night of her fourteenth birthday and disappeared without a trace. But then she gets a call-there is a man on the porch of her childhood home, and he's asking for her. This man isn't the Ba Qianze remembers: he is much older, more fragile, and worst of all, haunted by a half-forgotten prophecy. While Qianze wrestles with what she owes this near-stranger, Ba begins telling stories of his past. From his bloody days as a Red Guard during the Cultural Revolution to his mother's youth under Japanese occupation, he circles around the prophecy he came to deliver. Qianze has always longed to know more about her family history, but as Ba reveals a past far darker than she could have imagined, she finds herself plagued by strange visions-fox spirits trail her on her evening commute, a terrifying jackalope stalks her nightmares, and the looming prophecy slinks ever closer. Spanning decades and continents, A Beast Slinks Towards Beijing is a dark, magical realist family saga that moves through the Japanese occupation of Manchuria, the Cultural Revolution, and the present day to explore the effects of intergenerational trauma, the legacy of colonialism and inescapability of fate in stunningly rendered folklore.
