Classic fiction. I've worn that mask so long I don't feel safe without it. The Man in the Iron Mask sees D'Artagnan, Athos, Porthos and Aramis return to meet their destinies in their final adventure. D'Artagnan still remains in the service of King Louis XIV while Aramis is a priest at the Bastille prison. Upon listening to a confession from am iron-masked prisoner who tells him that he is the twin brother of the King of France, Aramis is convinced that he will be rewarded if he can help him become king and he devises a plan for his escape, pitching himself against his old comrade D'Artagnan. Far darker than Dumas' previous novels, The Man in the Iron Mask is a fast-paced and compelling historical romance of honour and loyalty.

A retelling for students of English of one of Dickens's best-known novels, this is an upper intermediate-level Macmillan Reader. One bleak and windy evening, 8-year-old Pip meets an escaped convict on the marshes. Shortly afterwards, he is summoned to Satis House, the derelict, gloomy home of the strange, reclusive Miss Havisham.

Profesor Otto Lidenbrock objeví starou knihu, která skrývá zašifrovaný rukopis psaný runami . Jedná se o popis cesty vedoucí do středu Země. Profesor se na tuto cestu vydává se svým synovcem Axelem a průvodcem Hansem. Do hlubin Země sestupují po jícnu sopky, objevují podzemní moře, prochází geologickými obdobími a sledují vývoj života v oblastech, o jejichž existenci mnoho vědců pochybuje. Pozorují boj nebezpečných pravěkých oblud a jejich zkušenost se střetává s mnoha vědeckými teoriemi o nemožnosti života pod zemí. Nachází vzácné prehistorické pohřebiště, které skrývá mnoho přelomových objevů. Několikrát se ocitají v nebezpečí života, díky hrůzné bouři, nedostatku vody a nebezpečným živočichům. Zpět na zem se dostávají díky výbuchu sopky, která je dopravila zpátky s valící se lávou. Středu Země nedosáhli, ale jejich cesta přesvědčila skeptické vědce o možnosti života pod povrchem Země.
