Richard Wright grew up in the woods of Mississippi amid poverty, hunger, fear, and hatred. He lied, stole, and raged at those around him; at six he was a "drunkard," hanging about in taverns. Surly, brutal, cold, suspicious, and self-pitying, he was surrounded on one side by whites who were either indifferent to him, pitying, or cruel, and on the other by blacks who resented anyone trying to rise above the common lot. Black Boy is Richard Wright's powerful account of his journey from innocence to experience in the Jim Crow South. It is at once an unashamed confession and a profound indictment—a poignant and disturbing record of social injustice and human suffering.

The Penguin English Library Edition of The Hound of the Baskervilles by Arthur Conan Doyle "Mr Holmes, they were the footprints of a gigantic hound!" The terrible spectacle of the beast, the fog of the moor, the discovery of a body: this classic horror story pits detective against dog, rationalism against the supernatural, good against evil. When Sir Charles Baskerville is found dead on the wild Devon moorland with the footprints of a giant hound nearby, the blame is placed on a family curse. It is left to Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson to solve the mystery of the legend of the phantom hound before Sir Charles' heir comes to an equally gruesome end. The Hound of the Baskervilles gripped readers when it was first serialised and has continued to hold its place in the popular imagination. The Penguin English Library - 100 editions of the best fiction in English, from the eighteenth century and the very first novels to the beginning of the First World War.

Die häufig hervorgehobene cinematographische Erzähltechnik Greenes ist im 'Dritten Mann' besonders ausgeprägt. Ort des Geschehens ist das unter den vier Besatzungsmächten aufgeteilte Wien der Nachkriegszeit. Als Erzähler tritt der englische Polizeioffizier Calloway auf. Nach Harry Limes Verschwinden gerät er unter Verdacht, am Schmuggel von verdünntem Penicillin beteiligt gewesen zu sein. Rollo Martins, ihm freundschaftlich verbunden, möchte Harrys Unschuld nachweisen, muß jedoch eine gegenteilige Entdeckung machen. Mit Orson Welles und Joseph Cotton in den Hauptrollen wurde 'Der dritte Mann' auch als Film ein Welterfolg.
