Juliette - Marquis de Sade:
... (1797–1801) by Marquis de Sade This book is extreme, pornographic and violent, and as one of the evil characters in Les Liaisons Dangereuses puts it: “it’s not my fault.” Were you offended by the title of this review? First, this was not meant as a sacrilege: I try to respect the sensibility of the readers as much as I can, but when I thought of the title I just couldn’t resist the temptation; I felt whe...

The Jinx - Theophile Gautier ... rather obscure early horror novel from the French romantic period, Theophile Gautier’s ‘The Jinx’ has been resurrected as part of Hesperus Press’ 100-page series, an endeavour aimed at promoting lost, forgotten, unknown or otherwise ignored ‘classics’ of international literature through new translations and nicely coloured covers. This short novel has always been one of Gautier’s lesser known works, compared to his (slightly) more famous ballets and poetry, but unlike the majority of Hesperus’ obscure classics (surely a contradiction in terms?), it’s actually a really good read and surprisingly modern in its approach and outlook. Still, the novel remains firmly rooted ... Read the full review: Fantasy in a Frock Coat by Frankingsteins |

Tess of the D'Urbervilles - Thomas Hardy ... taking this book from the bookshelf the other day, I wasn t quite sure why I was drawn into reading a book read many times in the past, and one which I kept for a rainy day. The rainy day had arrived, and little by little, I delved into the life of Tess, our heroine, and began to recall why this book stands out as such a worthy contender for books that portray life in old England. Thomas Hardy s use of description is amazing. Not only is the reader almost on intimate terms with characters, but the scenery that he describes passes the test of time, in language that really does it justice and does not seem to have dated, considering that it was written as long ago as...

Moby Dick - Herman Melville ... the word classic nowadays seems to turn people off books automatically, it suggests difficult reading, a struggle, a study rather than an enjoyable story. For the most part i discourage this, many classics I have encountered i have found enjoyable, some even page turners, worthy of their term classic as an appraisal, a suggeston that these novels will never go out of fashion, they will always have a place in readers hearts. However i do find it very difficult to count Moby Dick in this category, it epitimses the first suggestion, it is dull, difficult to read and incredibly academic based. the story itself i found readable, vaguely exciting but the characters were ...
