HarperCollins is proud to present its incredible range of best-loved, essential classics. Thomas Hughes' novel about the mischievous but kind-hearted schoolboy Tom Brown inspired other school novels, including Frank Richards' Billy Bunter stories and J. K. Rowling's Harry Potter series. The novel begins at Tom's childhood home in the Vale of the White Horse, where he spends his days out in the fields with his pony. This early idyllic setting it set up as a contrast to the stresses that Tom undergoes later at Rugby boarding school when he encounters the bully Flashman. Tom is helped through his struggles by his friends Harry 'Scud' East and the frail but brilliant George Arthur, whom Tom protects, and who ultimately helps Tom develop into a young gentleman ready for Oxford university.

The procession that crosses Chaucer's pages is as full of life and as richly textured as a medieval tapestry. The Knight, the Miller, the Friar, the Squire, the Prioress, the Wife of Bath, and others who make up the cast of characters -- including Chaucer himself -- are real people, with human emotions and weaknesses. Chaucer's genius bursts forth from every page of The Canterbury Tales. According to the General Prologue, each pilgrim was meant to tell two tales on the way to Canterbury and two on the way back. Although he never finished this enormous project and the completed tales were not finally revised, the work remains a cornerstone of English literature. Scholars are uncertain about the order of the tales, and since the printing press had yet to be invented when Chaucer wrote, The Canterbury Tales has been preserved in several handwritten manuscripts. This collection captures the diversity of medieval society and explores themes of love, morality, and the human condition through its vivid storytelling.

Wir schreiben das Jahr 1794. Bleich um die Nase herum und sichtlich seekrank meldet sich ein jünger Fähnrich namens Horatio Hornblower an Bord des englischen Kriegsschiffs Justinian zum Dienst. Nicht, aber auch gar nichts gibt zunächst Anlaß, in dem siebzehnjährigen Schlaks einen künftigen Seehelfen zu vermuten. Aber Hornblower erweist sich als ebenso strebsam wie aufgeweckt, Besteckaufgabe bei der Navigation bilden kein Problem für ihn, und wenn es sein muß, schreckt er auch vor einem Duell auf Leben und Tod nicht zurück. Relativ rasch erfolgt seine Versetzung auf die Fregatte Indefatigable, und er erhält mehrfach die Gelegenheit, sich zu bewähren. Etwa als es gilt, mit nur vier Mann, die seinem Befehl unterstellt werden, eine gekaperte, schwer beschädigte französische Brigg als Prise in einen englischen Hafen zu bringen. Oder tollkühn an der Spitze eines Enterkommandos, das in der Nähe der Girondemündung eine gegnerische Korvette erstürmt. Mittlerweile ist auch Spanien auf Napoleons Seite in den Krieg eingetreten. Vor Cadiz vermag sich Hornblower bei der Erbeutung einer Galeere erneut auszuzeichnen, doch dann bestimmt das Schicksal ihm das entsetzliche Los, in spanische Kriegsgefangenschaft zu geraten ... Der erste Band aus der Reihe der weltberühmten Hornblower-Romane.
