Hans Andersen's evocative stories blend wit and pathos, his
light but shrewd touch revealing the selfishness and stupidity of
man. In "The Emperor's New Clothes" it takes a child to point
out the Emperor's foolishness and his excess of pride eventually
makes him a laughing stock. His stupidity is therefore punished,
just as the modesty and good nature of "The Ugly Duckling" is
justly rewarded in the end. Andersen's fresh and vivacious tone
illuminates all of the old favourites in this selection - which
include "The Little Mermaid", "The Princess on the Pea", "The
Tinderbox" and "The Snow Queen".

Here is the novel that will be forever considered a triumph of the imagination. Set on the desert planet Arrakis, Dune is the story of the boy Paul Atreides, who would become the mysterious man known as Maud'dib. He would avenge the traitorous plot against his noble family-and would bring to fruition humankind's most ancient and unattainable dream.A stunning blend of adventure and mysticism, environmentalism and politics, Dune won the first Nebula Award, shared the Hugo Award, and formed the basis of what is undoubtedly the grandest epic in science fiction. Frank Herbert's death in 1986 was a tragic loss, yet the astounding legacy of his visionary fiction will live forever.

'Call Me by Your Name' is the story of a sudden and powerful romance that blossoms between an adolescent boy and a summer guest at his parents' cliff-side mansion on the Italian Riviera. Unprepared for the consequences of their attraction, at first each feigns indifference. But during the restless summer weeks that follow, unrelenting buried currents of obsession and fear, fascination and desire, intensify their passion as they test the charged ground between them. What grows from the depths of their spirits is a romance of scarcely six weeks' duration and an experience that marks them for a lifetime. For what the two discover on the Riviera and during a sultry evening in Rome is the one thing both already fear they may never truly find again: total intimacy.
