Considered the most light-hearted and satirical of Austen’s novels, Northanger Abbey tells the story of an unlikely young heroine Catherine Morland. While staying in Bath, Catherine meets Henry Tilney and his sister Eleanor who invite her to their family estate, Northanger Abbey. A fan of Gothic Romance novels, naive Catherine is soon letting her imagination run wild in the atmospheric abbey, fuelled by her friendship with the vivacious Isabella Thorpe.
It is only when the realities of life set in around her that Catherine’s fantastical world is shattered. A coming-of-age novel, Austen expertly parodies the Gothic romance novels of her time and reveals much about her unsentimental view of love and marriage in the eighteenth century.
HarperCollins is proud to present its range of best-loved, essential classics.
‘She had been forced into prudence in her youth, she learned romance as she grew older: the natural sequel of an unnatural beginning.’
Written at the end of the Napoleonic Wars, Persuasion is a tale of love, heartache and the determination of one woman as she strives to reignite a lost love.
Anne Elliot is persuaded by her friends and family to reject a marriage proposal from Captain Wentworth because he lacks in fortune and rank. More than seven years later, when he returns home from the Navy, Anne realises she still has strong feelings for him, but Wentworth only appears to have eyes for a friend of Anne’s.
Moving, tender, but intrinsically ‘Austen’ in style, with it’s satirical portrayal of the vanity of society in eighteenth-century England, Persuasion celebrates enduring love and hope.
‘I pay very little regard…to what any young person says on the subject of marriage. If they profess a disinclination for it, I only set it down that they have not yet seen the right person.’
Humble and lowly, a young Fanny Price goes to live with her wealthy Aunt and Uncle at their grand house, Mansfield Park. Growing up with her privileged and spoilt cousins, the Bertrams, she lives in the shadows of their glamorous lives, but manages to find an ally in her cousin, Edmund.
When Henry and Mary Crawford come to visit, the house is thrown into disarray as romance flourishes between the young people, leading Fanny to finally confront the extent of her true feelings for Edmund.
Music is what makes us alive, mindful and connected to each other. Music is what makes us human. This is the power of music.
Cellist Sheku Kanneh-Mason knows and feels the transformative power of music as much as any musician alive. From winning the prestigious BBC Young Musician Award to performing at Harry and Meghan’s wedding; from Bach’s solo suites to Bob Marley’s reggae; his ferocious passion shines through in every single performance, whether in a packed-out concert hall or on record.
But how was it that someone like him – a person of colour, from a state school in Nottingham – rose to the upper echelons of the classical music world? What were the obstacles that he had to overcome, what did he learn along the way, and how could a young person follow in his footsteps today?
In The Power of Music, Sheku explores the experiences and values that led him here, from a childhood of football practice and family music sessions, to his work today in the world’s finest concert halls and in the less privileged communities that surround them. As his star continues to rise, he shows us the darker side of an industry ruled by exclusivity and stubborn adherence to tradition.
With its power to transform our mental and physical health, to effect social change, and to make a house a home, Sheku shows us that classical music is for everyone, not just an elite few. The Power of Music is a celebration of music of all sorts and those who make it, and a rallying call to change.

Za każdą twarzą kryje się historia, której nikt nie zna.
Cecylia żegna despotycznego męża, Olga ucieka z ogarniętego pożarem domu, Kasia wraca z prochami córki, walcząc z własnym szaleństwem. Każda z bohaterek tych jedenastu opowiadań stoi na granicy – między bólem a nadzieją, przeszłością a przyszłością, upadkiem a siłą, której istnienia nawet nie podejrzewały.
Alkoholizm, zdrada, rozpacz, miłość i heroizm splatają się tu w opowieści o kobiecej odwadze. Ale to nie tylko historie o cierpieniu – to także świadectwo niezwykłej siły, jaką w sobie nosimy. Siły, która pozwala się podnieść, odnaleźć światło w ciemności i uwierzyć, że zawsze jest droga do nowego początku.
To książka, w której każda kobieta może się przejrzeć i odnaleźć – nie sama, lecz wśród tych, które też walczą, kochają i nie poddają się.
Sztuka pisania opowiadań zanika. Może dlatego, że to trudna forma literacka. No bo jak na kilku ledwie stronach zamknąć całą historię, opowiedzieć czyjś los czy choćby tylko opisać najważniejszy moment życia? Autorce tego zbioru się to udało. Każda opowieść jest pełna, skończona, kryje w sobie wiele więcej niż tylko to, co zapisane w słowach. Opowiadania są szczere, niekiedy głęboko poruszające i – co dla mnie szczególnie cenne – „filmowe”, bo gdy czytamy nie mamy żadnego problemu z wyobrażeniem sobie tych opowieści na ekranie. Polecam z całego serca ! Ilona Łepkowska, scenarzystka.
Książka wydana w serii Wielkie Litery – w specjalnym formacie z dużą czcionką dla seniorów i osób słabowidzących. Para reporterów śledczych działu historycznego pomorskiej gazety – Nina Kiryłło i Eryk Morski – dostaje polecenie zbadania niewyjaśnionej sprawy kryminalnej sprzed lat, zanim ta ulegnie przedawnieniu. Dotyczyła ona brutalnego morderstwa, popełnionego na zamożnej wdowie po dygnitarzu partyjnym z okresu PRL i zarazem kolekcjonerze dzieł sztuki. Kobieta przed śmiercią była torturowana. Śledczy podejrzewali włamanie w celach rabunkowych, połączone z zabójstwem, co byłoby prawdopodobne, gdyby nie to, że z willi ofiary nic cennego nie zginęło. A tymczasem na jaw wychodzi fakt, że zaledwie parę lat wcześniej w równie tajemniczych okolicznościach śmierć poniosła prawie stuletnia „hrabina”, poetka, matka zamordowanej kobiety. Dziennikarze błądzą we mgle, coraz bardziej zyskując przekonanie, że wszelkie tropy wiodą w odległą przeszłość. Na wschód. Wkrótce sami znajdą się w niebezpieczeństwie...

W niewielkiej miejscowości w Umbrii zostaje znalezione zmasakrowane ciało kobiety. Do korpusu ktoś doczepił dwa, czarne skrzydła, a ofierze odciął głowę. Śledztwo prowadzi komisarz Vieri, któremu intuicja podpowiada, że to nie jest zwykłe zabójstwo. Zemsta? Rytuał? Kara? Trop prowadzi z Włoch do malowniczego Marrakeszu. A może trzeba szukać zupełnie gdzieś indziej?
Mroczna, psychologiczna opowieść o ucieczce, winie i cenie, jaką trzeba zapłacić za wolność.
Considered one of the all-time great American works of fiction, Fitzgerald’s glorious yet ultimately tragic social satire on the Jazz Age encapsulates the exuberance, energy and decadence of an era.
After the war, the mysterious Jay Gatsby, a self-made millionaire pursues wealth, riches and the lady he lost to another man with stoic determination. He buys a mansion across from her house and throws lavish parties to try and entice her. When Gatsby finally does reunite with Daisy Buchanan, tragic events are set in motion.
Told through the eyes of his detached and omnipresent neighbour and friend, Nick Carraway, Fitzgerald’s succinct and powerful prose hints at the destruction and tragedy that awaits.
