Myška si vyjde do lesa, ale na procházce nemá chvíli klidu. Pořád se ji někdo snaží sežrat! Had, liška, sova... Ještě že má myška "pod čepicí" a na pomoc si přimyslí Gruffala – strašlivou příšeru, která by všechnu tu nenechavou zvěř zblajzla na posezení. A tak myšku všichni raději nechají být. Jenže co když je Gruffalo skutečný? Je myška dost statečná na to, aby převezla i jeho? Nenapodobitelné ilustrace Axela Schefflera se geniálně propojují s originálním, vtipným textem Julie Donaldson a společně tvoří dnes již takřka klasický příběh, který si získal srdce dětí po celém světě.

The Metamorphosis and Other Stories - Franz Kafka

When the young salesman Gregor Samsa wakes up one morning transformed into a monstrous insect, his shock and incomprehension are coupled with the panic of being late for work and having to reveal his appearance to family and colleagues. Although over the following weeks he gradually becomes used to this new existence confined within the bounds of the apartment, and his parents and sister adapt to living with a grotesque bug, Gregor notices that their attitudes towards him are changing and he feels increasingly alienated. One of the masterpieces of twentieth-century world literature, ‘The Metamorphosis' is accompanied in this volume by a selection of other classic tales and sketches by Kafka - such as ‘The Judgement', ‘In the Penal Colony' and ‘A Country Doctor' - all presented in a lively and meticulous new translation by Christopher Moncrieff.

The Houseguest : And Other Stories - Dávila Amparo

Like those of Kafka, Poe, Leonora Carrington, or Shirley Jackson, Amparo Dávila's stories are terrifying, mesmerizing, and expertly crafted--you'll finish each one gasping for air. With acute psychological insight, Dávila follows her characters to the limits of desire, paranoia, insomnia, and fear. She is a writer obsessed with obsession, who makes nightmares come to life through the everyday: loneliness sinks in easily like a razor-sharp knife, some sort of evil lurks in every shadow, delusion takes the form of strange and very real creatures. After reading The Houseguest--Dávila's debut collection in English--you'll wonder how this secret was kept for so long.

The Drug and Other Stories: Second Edition - Aleister Crowley

This revised and expanded second edition brings together the uncollected short fiction of the poet, writer and religious philosopher Aleister Crowley (1875-1947). Of the fifty-four stories in the present volume, only thirty-five were published in his lifetime. Most of the rest appear in this collection for the first time.Crowley was a successful critic, editor and author of fiction from 1908 to 1922. Like their author, his stories are fun, smart, witty, thought-provoking and sometimes unsettling. They are set in places in which he had lived, and knew well: Belle Epoque Paris, Edwardian London, pre-revolutionary Russia and America during the First World War.The title story The Drug stands as one of the first accounts - if not the first - of a psychedelic experience. His Black and Silver is a knowing early noir discovery that anticipates an entire genre. Atlantis is a masterpiece of occult fantasy that can stand with Samuel Butler's Erewhon.Frank Harris considered The Testament of Magdalen Blair the most terrifying tale ever written. This second edition adds several additional stories, including the Qabalistic allegory Ambrosii Magi Hortus Rosarum, featuring the author's previously unpublished annotations. Extensive editorial end-notes give full details about the stories.

The Machine Stops and Other Stories - E. M. Forster

A new selection of E. M. Forster's exquisite short stories, now in the beautifully designed Penguin English Library Series'We created the Machine, to do our will, but we cannot make it do our will now.It has robbed us of the sense of space and of the sense of touch, it has blurred every human relation and narrowed down love to a carnal act, it has paralyzed our bodies and our wills, and now it compels us to worship it.'Like his much-loved novels, E. M. Forster's short stories are rich in irony and alive with sharp observations on the surprises life holds.Telling tales of violent events, discomforting coincidences, and other disruptive happenings, his sharp and vivid prose has the ability to throw the characters', and reader's, perceptions and beliefs off balance. Selected to appeal to a new generation of readers around the world, this new selection of short stories in the Penguin English Library series celebrates E. M.Forster's unparalleled skill for storytelling, beginning with his masterful work of science fiction, The Machine Stops.
