This text is the thirteenth in authors cycle of twenty novels about the Rougon-Macquart dynasty. It tells the story of author, from the illegitimate Macquart branch of the family, who arrives in the mining settlement of Montsou, and witnesses at first hand the appalling conditions in which miners live and work. Gradually becoming embroiled in a bitter dispute between the miners and their employers, he eventually leads the strike which is the centrepiece of the novel. But this is more than the struggle of labor against capital. It is also the struggle of the hungry against the well-fed, against the passivity and resignation passed down over generations of starving people, and ultimately against hunger itself, represented by the fantastical devouring monster of the mine, which swallows up men just as the beast of the modem industrial economy relentlessly swallows up capital. This apparent pessimism about society is offset by the possibility of rebirth and regeneration. For all the inherited misery of the downtrodden, the old order may someday be overturned.

Oscar Wildes Works are suffused with his aestheticism, brilliant craftsmanship, legendary wit and ultimately, his tragic muse. He wrote tender fairy stories for children employing all his grace, artistry and wit, of which the hest-known is The Happy Prince. Counterpoints to this were his novel The Picture of Dorian Gray, which shocked and outraged many readers of his day, and his stories for adults which exhibited his fascination with the relations between serene art and decadent life. Wilde took London by storm with his plays, most notably with his masterpiece the importance of Being Earnest. His essays in particular De Profundis and his Ballad of Reading Gaol, both written after his release from prison strikingly break the bounds of his usual expressive range. His other essays and poems are all included in this comprehensive collection of the works of one of the most exciting writers of the late nineteenth century.

Antony and Cleopatra is one of Shakespeare\'s greatest tragedies: a spectacular, widely-ranging drama of love and war, passion and politics. Antony is divided between the responsibilities of Imperial power and the intensities of his sexual relationship with Cleopatra. She, variously generous and ruthless, loving and Jealous, petulant and majestic, emerges as Shakespeare´s most complex depiction of a woman: "Age cannot wither her, nor custom stale her infinite variety.\'"Unsurpassed in sumptuous eloquence and powerful characterisation. Antony and Cleopatra deservedly retains its popularity in the theatre, its insights into the corruptions of power and the ambiguities of desire remain timely.
