Story
John Donne, Andrew Marvell, George Herbert, Thomas Carew, and Henry Vaughan: these were some of the 17th-century writers who devised a new form of poetry full of wit, intellect and grace, which we now call Metaphysical poetry. They wrote about their deepest religious feelings and their carnal pleasures in a way that was radically new and challenging to their readers. Their work was largely misunderstood or ignored for two centuries, until 20th-century critics rediscovered it, finding in it a deep originality and a willingness to experiment.

Story
A Night in a Moorish Harem tells the thrilling story of a shipwrecked British sea captain who, in 1894, washes ashore near a Moroccan harem. When his ship, Antler, becomes stranded off the coast of Morocco, Lord George Herbert is taken in for the night by the concubines of a local harem whose master is away. Herbert seizes the opportunity offered to him and spends the night taking pleasure in the eager women and convincing the nine ladies, each of a different nationality, to tell the collective stories of her sexual histories.

Story
This proud nation with its long history - sometimes rough, hewn from bleak landscapes, and sometimes gently soft from its comforting voices - has produced a long succession of artists and poets.
In the latter category, Louis MacNeice most probably stands pre-eminent; his words and phrasing are on a plane few can equal and most are in awe of. But in this volume we do put forward others who have their own words and voice to add to this rich tapestry.

Story
Though many of us might answer "yes" to that question, attracting more joy into our lives is not always easy - life and stress can seem to hinder our well-being, despite our best efforts. What’s worse, studies have shown that pressuring yourself to feel happy and upbeat when you feel down can actually take a toll on us psychologically! So, where do you begin? The solution lies in understanding the innate psychological forces that conspire against us.

Story
Příběh odehrávající se v Anglii na konci 19. století barvitě líčí invazi Marťanů na Zemi a popisuje bezmocnost pozemšťanů, neschopných boje s vyspělou marťanskou technikou. Kruté bytosti z vesmíru v pravidelných intervalech ničí všechno živé a do myslí pozemšťanů se vkrádá beznaděj nad neutěšeným stavem. Jak to všechno dopadne? A mají Marťané nějakou slabinu? Existuje na Zemi něco, s čím při plánování invaze nepočítali?!? Byť tento vědeckofantastický román poprvé vyšel už v roce 1898, dodnes fascinuje čtenáře po celém světě svým realistickým popisem invaze mimozemšťanů z Marsu do Anglie.

Story
Our dystopian future is revealed by H.G.Wells. In this famous story, an unnamed scientist of the 1800s invents a machine to travel through time. Going into the far future he discovers the human race has evolved into two distinct branches that are horrifyingly interdependent. Society, being divided into the upper and lower classes as it was at the time this story was written, has caused this horrifying thing to happen. - Summary by phil chenevert

Like his great contemporaries, John Keats and Lord Byron, Shelley suffered an untimely death, but still managed to stun the world with a wide-ranging body of work, including poetry, drama, and criticism. His poetry is that of a young man, a lover of nature and fiercely critical of institutionalized corruption, and virtuosic in his use of language and imagery.

Story
Herbert George "H. G." Wells (September 21, 1866 – August 13, 1946) was a prolific English writer in many genres. He is sometimes called the “Father of Science Fiction.” Pollock and the Porroh Man is a ghostly and gory tale much in the spirit of Edgar Allan Poe, but seasoned with macabre black humor.

Story
Stroj času je dílo, které předběhlo svou dobu a ovlivnilo celý jeden literární žánr. Wellsův román nebyl několik desetiletí v češtině publikován, nejspíš pro podobnosti ani zdaleka ne náhodné. Poslechněte si příběh Poutníka, který vynalezl stroj času. Jednoho dne se při práci přenese do světa roku 802 701. První věc, kterou uvidí v hluboké tmě je zářící okřídlená sfinga. Ona je klíčem k jeho minulosti i přítomnosti. Brzy nato zjistí, že lidstvo této doby se dělí na dva typy osobností. Jedni jsou Eloiové, žijí na zemi a bojí se šera. Ti druzí jsou Morloci, procházejí tmou a žijí v podzemí.

Beim nächsten Treffen, eine Woche später, erscheint der "Zeitreisende" verspätet und wirkt sichtlich mitgenommen.
