East of Eden


COMING THIS AUTUMN: A MAJOR NETFLIX SERIES STARRING FLORENCE PUGHThe magnum opus of a giant of American literature, East of Eden is an epic, unforgettable family saga of blood ties and betrayal'There is only one book to a man,' John Steinbeck wrote of East of Eden. 'It has everything in it I have been able to learn about my craft or profession in all these years.' Set in the Salinas Valley in California, this powerful, often brutal novel follows the intertwined destinies of two families - the Trasks and the Hamiltons - whose generations helplessly re-enact the fall of Adam and Eve and the poisonous rivalry of Cain and Abel.Considered by many to be Steinbeck's masterpiece, this enduring novel, filled with some of Steinbeck's most memorable characters, has been adapted into a Netflix limited series by Zoe Kazan, with Florence Pugh starring as the beautiful, dangerous Cathy Ames.

Venturing through haunted staircases and into private bedchambers, she finds the details that make history feel gloriously human. With her trademark warmth and incisive scholarship, Lucy explores the full splendour, scandal and sorrow of royal life.

Jack and Alice


These astoundingly clever stories were written when Jane Austen was between just eleven and eighteen years old, and deserve to be read and admired alongside her novels.Jack and Alice recounts a raucous masquerade ball and the gossip it provides for months afterwards; Alice, who has had a bit too much to drink, becomes infatuated with the pompous Charles Adams. In The Three Sisters, Mary is determined to be married before her sisters are, even if it means marrying a man she absolutely cannot stand. These stories burst with scandal and absurdity, featuring dramatic deaths, sudden marriage proposals, a prison break, a poisoning, robbery, a shipwreck, and secret affairs.Austen’s wicked sense of humour is fully unleashed here, as she brilliantly skewers romantic, societal and narrative conventions. Her teenage stories are the works of a true genius.This series of pocket-sized paperbacks celebrates the art of the short story and marks Macmillan Collector's Library's 10th anniversary.
