Collected here in Penguin Classics are two of Fyodor Dostoyevsky's shorter works, Notes from Underground and The Double, translated by Ronald Wilks with an introduction by Robert Louis Jackson.
Alienated from society and paralysed by a sense of his own insignificance, the anonymous narrator of Dostoyevsky's groundbreaking Notes from Underground tells the story of his tortured life. With bitter irony, he describes his refusal to become a worker in the 'anthill' of society and his gradual withdrawal to an existence 'underground'. The seemingly ordinary world of St Petersburg takes on a nightmarish quality in The Double when a government clerk encounters a man who looks exactly like him - his double, perhaps, or possibly the darker side of his own personality. Like Notes from Underground, this is a masterly tragicomic study of human consciousness.
Arcydzieło, nie bardzo daje się definiować. Arcydziełem jest to, co do czego zgadzamy się, że jest arcydziełem. Musi zatem zyskać odpowiednią liczbę entuzjastów, a niekiedy trwa to długo. Musi przejść próbę czasu, a bywa przecież, że popada na pewien okres w zapomnienie. A przede wszystkim musi mieć w sobie to nieuchwytne coś, co pozwala mu spełnić powyższe warunki. Nie musi przy tym wcale zostać dokończone i ostatecznie wycyzelowane przez autora, by wspomnieć, obok Prousta, choćby Kafkę i Musila – ba! może być w połowie przerwane jak "Tristram Shandy". Jednym z jego atrybutów jest to, że umyka gatunkowej klasyfikacji, a do tego nabiera z czasem nowych walorów. W poszukiwaniu utraconego czasu stało się dla nas, poza wszystkim innym, arcyciekawą powieścią historyczną – jednym z najdoskonalszych literackich świadectw epoki, przede wszystkim zaś tego, co ukrywała uwodzicielska fizjonomia fin de siecle’u. Myślę, że o prawdziwej wielkości dzieła przekonujemy się, kiedy pozwalając mu się – nierzadko z trudem – porwać, spostrzegamy nagle, że nie tyle my czytamy, ile to ono podstępnie nami czyta, a najdziwniejsze nawet przypadki bohaterów w najbardziej nawet osobliwych dekoracjach ("Guliwer" Swifta na przykład) opowiadają o nas samych – i potem nigdy już nie potrafimy pozbyć się ich z pamięci. Jestem najgłębiej przekonany, że W poszukiwaniu utraconego czasu spełnia z naddatkiem wszystkie te kryteria. Wawrzyniec Brzozowski

Bob Dylan's only fictional book, Tarantula was written in 1966 during the creative peak that produced Blonde on Blonde. Reminiscent of Dylan's best songs, it is essential reading for anyone interested in his creative processes.
Initial publication was repeatedly delayed, and Tarantula circulated for years only as a bookleg photocopied from reviewers advance proofs. Fittingly, perhaps, because this is a book that captures the tone and spirit of the turbulent times in which it was written.
Shuklaji Street, in Old Bombay. In Rashid's opium room the air is thick with voices and ghosts: Hindu, Muslim, Christian. A young woman holds a long-stemmed pipe over a flame, her hair falling across her eyes. Men sprawl and mutter in the gloom. Here, they say you introduce only your worst enemy to opium. There is an underworld whisper of a new terror: the Pathar Maar, the stone killer, whose victims are the nameless, invisible poor. In the broken city, there are too many to count.
'These stories of bewilderment, heartbreak and psychotropics will charm you with their humour and stun you with wisdom that's both rigorous and compassionate'

After returning from a pleasant holiday with his wife, Astrid, and their two children, Thomas walks out the front door. Thomas walks up the street. Thomas keeps walking. Astrid gradually realizes that her husband has not just gotten up early to go to work. She waits for as long as she can and then puts as much energy as she can into trying to find him - coming to understand, along the way, that there is little she can do if Thomas is striving to stay lost. In precise and hypnotic prose that cuts as cleanly as a scalpel, To the Back of Beyond is a novel that takes away the safe foundations of a marriage and a lifestyle to ask deeper questions about identity, connection and how free we are to change our lives. It is a graceful and resonant work from one of Europe's most important writers.

But the enemy above is not Yossarian’s problem – it is his own army intent on keeping him airborne, and the maddening ‘Catch-22’ that allows for no possibility of escape.

Love is Angela Carter's fifth novel and was first published in 1971. With surgical precision it charts the destructive emotional war between a young woman, her husband and his disruptive brother as they move through a labyrinth of betrayal, alienation and lost connections. This revised edition has lost none of Angela Carter's haunting power to evoke the ebb of the 1960s, and includes an afterword which describes the progress of the survivors into the anguish of middle age.

With the festive season almost upon him, Detective Sergeant Bruce Robertson is winding down at work and gearing up socially - kicking off Christmas with a week of sex and drugs in Amsterdam. There are irritating flies in the ointment, though, including a missing wife, a nagging cocaine habit, a dramatic deterioration in his genital health, a string of increasingly demanding extra-marital affairs. The last thing he needs is a messy murder to solve. Still it will mean plenty of overtime, a chance to stitch up some colleagues and finally clinch the promotion he craves. But as Bruce spirals through the lower reaches of degradation and evil, he encounters opposition - in the form of truth and ethical conscience - from the most unexpected quarter of all: his anus. In Bruce Robertson, Welsh has created one of the most corrupt, misanthropic characters in contemporary fiction , and has written a dark, disturbing and very funny novel about sleaze, power, and the abuse of everything. At last, a novel that lives up to its name.
Intimidated by her father, the rector of Knype Hill, Dorothy performs her submissive roles of dutiful daughter and bullied housekeeper. Her thoughts are taken up with the costumes she is making for the church school play, by the hopelessness of preaching to the poor and by debts she cannot pay in 1930s Depression England.

Orwell leads us through a landscape of unemployment, poverty and hunger, where Dorothy's faith is challenged by a social reality that changes her life.
