 | Lady Audley's Secret by Flo Gibson, Mary Elizabeth Braddon, Norman Donaldson
Weathering critical scorn, Lady Audley's Secret (1862) quickly established Mary Elizabeth Braddon as the leading light of Victorian 'sensation' fiction, sharing the honour only with Wilkie Collins. Addictive, cunningly plotted and certainly sensational, Lady Audley's Secret draws on contemporary theories of insanity to probe mid-Victorian anxiety and the doubts that accompanied the rapid rise of consumer culture. What is the mystery surrounding Mary Elizabeth Braddon's artful and charming heroine? Lady Audley's secret is investigated by Robert Audley, aristocrat turned detective, in a novel that has lost none of its power to disturb and entertain.

 | Pnin by G. Barabtarlo, Vladimir Nabokov
PNIN was the last novel Nabokov wrote in America, in 1957 when he was teaching at Cornell. It is the story of a drab, gentle, lovable failure: Timofey Pnin, an emigre Russian teacher at a mediocre upstate New York college who fails to get tenure and ultimately loses his job. Pnin's history amusingly resembles what Nabokov's might have been had he been less brilliant and ambitious. The novel was originally serialized in The New Yorker in 1953 and 1955 and was Nabokov's most successful book to date. AUTHOR: G. Barabtarlo, Vladimir Nabokov
