Story
È il 1984, e la vita è cambiata al punto da essere irriconoscibile. Pista Uno, un tempo conosciuta come Gran Bretagna, è ora un luogo in cui il Grande Fratello osserva tutto ininterrottamente, e nessuno sfugge al suo sguardo. Nessuno, eccetto forse Winston Smith. Impiegato agli archivi del Ministero della Verità, dove revisiona la storia per adattarla alla narrativa del Partito, Winston coltiva in segreto il sogno della libertà. In un mondo in cui amore e sesso sono proibiti, e dove è difficile discernere tra amico e nemico, Winston incontra Julia e O'Brien, e insieme decidono di ribellarsi.

Set in the mid-19th century on New York City's Wall Street, Bartleby is often thought of as Melville's most prescient story: what if a young man caught up in the rat race of commerce decides they have had enough, and chooses to live a different kind of life?

Story
Thomas Mann's last great novel, first published in 1947 and now newly rendered into English by acclaimed translator John E. Woods, is a modern reworking of the Faust legend, in which Germany sells its soul to the Devil. Mann's protagonist, the composer Adrian Leverkühn, is the flower of German culture, a brilliant, isolated, overreaching figure, his radical new music a breakneck game played by art at the very edge of impossibility. In return for twenty-four years of unparalleled musical accomplishment, he bargains away his soul—and the ability to love his fellow man.
