Complete Poems and Plays : 1909-1950
Eliot's poetry ranges from the massively magisterial ( The Waste Land), to the playfully pleasant ( Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats). This volume of Eliot's poetry and plays offers the complete text of these and most all of Eliot's poetry, including the full text of Four Quartets. Winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature, Eliot exerted a profound influence on his contemporaries in the arts generally and this collection makes his genius clear.

 The Romeo and Juliet
One of Shakespeare's most popular and accessible plays, Romeo and Juliet tells the story of two star-crossed lovers and the unhappy fate them as a long bitter feud between families. The play contains some of Shakespeare's most beautiful and lyrical love poetry and is perhaps the finest celebration of the joys of young
love ever written.

The Picture of Dorian Gray
The portrait in the title ages, revealing the hardness and cruelty of a dissolute life, while its subject remains forever young and handsome. This is the premise of Oscar Wilde's only novel, a cautionary tale enlivened by vivid characterizations and mordant wit. Rupert Graves brilliantly makes the most of the former, but not the latter. Instead, he throws all his efforts into the darker atmospheres, suspense and drama

 The Picture of Dorian Gray
An exquisitely beautiful young man in Victorian England retains his youthful and innocent appearance over the years while his portrait reflects both his age and evil soul as he pursues a life of decadence and corruption. Illustrated sidebar notes provide historical background to the text.

Picture of Dorian Gray (Modern
Library)
A lush, cautionary tale of a life of vileness and deception or a loving portrait of the aesthetic impulse run rampant? Why not both? After Basil Hallward paints a beautiful, young man's portrait, his subject's frivolous wish that the picture change and he remain the same comes true. Dorian Gray's picture grows aged and corrupt while he continues to appear fresh and innocent. After he kills a young woman, "as surely as if I had cut her little throat with a knife," Dorian Gray is surprised to find no difference in his vision or surroundings. "The roses are not less lovely for all that. The birds sing just as happily in my garden."

 The Love Poems of Elizabeth and Robert Browning
The marriage of the Brownings was by most standards an unlikely union of opposites. Yet, despite their differences, each one's poetry is a celebration of their unbroken devotion, compatibility, and passion; and together their poems reflect the union of two great souls.

 Seize the Night
Last year, Dean Koontz kicked off an ambitious trilogy with Fear Nothing, a sort of coming-of-age suspense story set against the nighttime world of Christopher Snow, the novel's young protagonist. The second installment in Snow's saga, Seize the Night, finds him older, wiser, and rougher around the edges. Not only do we have Koontz's new novel, but for true Koontz fans we have the very rare limited edition with stunning artwork from Phil Parks.
