Farma zvířat je alegorický satirizující román George Orwella, ukazující formou bajky politické vztahy a děje mezi lidmi. Autor se důsledně vyhýbá vysvětlujícím komentářům, ale vzhledem k době napsání díla je nejzjevnější podobenství se stalinistickou degenerací Sovětského svazu. V příběhu se objevuje skupinka zvířat, která se vzbouří a vyžene lidi z farmy, na které žije, a vede ji sama. Jejich vláda se však postupně zvrhne v brutální tyranii. Tento román byl napsán v průběhu 2. světové války a vydán srpnu roku 1945. Ačkoliv nebyl do konce 50. let příliš úspěšným, dnes je jedním z nejznámějších děl autora, stejně jako např. antiutopický román 1984. Vydalo nakladatelství Index v roce 1981

Arnold Bennett is famous for his stories about the Five Towns and the people who live there. They look and sound just like other people, and, like all of us, sometimes they do some very strange things. There's Sir Jee, who is a rich businessman. So why is he making a plan with a burglar? Then there is Toby Hall. Why does he decide to visit Number 11 Child Row, and who does he find there? And then there are the Hessian brothers and Annie Emery - and the little problem of twelve thousand pounds.--Quatrième de couverture

A level 4 Oxford Bookworms Library graded reader. Retold for Learners of English by Nick Bullard'I turned on the light, but there was nobody there.

The police are chasing him for a murder he did not do, and another, more dangerous enemy is chasing him as well - the mysterious 'Black Stone'. Who are these people? And why do they want Hannay dead?

Every town should have a 'card' - someone who gets talked about, someone who does mad and wonderful things, someone who makes you laugh. Bursley in the Five Towns has a 'card': Edward Henry Machin (Denry for short). Denry begins life in a poor little house where the rent is twenty-three pence a week. But before he's thirty, he's made a lot of money, and had more adventures than you and I have had hot dinners. The town of Bursley never stops talking about him. Whatever will young Denry do next?

První klasický román Marka Twaina, zasazen do prostředí zdivočelé krajiny kolem řeky Mississippi, je strhujícím způsobem převyprávěn pro dnešní čtenáře. Zůstává stejně svěží a napínavý, jako když byl poprvé vydán před více než sto lety. Tom Sawyer, rebel, odvážlivec a vůdce gangu, je jedním z rozených dobrodruhů. Během nudného léta na malém městě sní o tom, že se stane pirátem, cestovatelem nebo zločincem. Ale poté, co je svědkem ohavného zločinu na městském hřbitově, se vydává za dobrodružstvím, které je mnohem napínavější, než jaké si kdy vysnil. Anglicko-český zrcadlový text (pro mírně pokročilé)
