The English Edition

Orwell's classic in a special hardcover edition with silver foil embossing.

London, 1984: Winston Smith, a history falsifier at the Ministry of Truth, falls in love with the beautiful and mysterious Julia. Together they begin to question the totalitarian world in which they have functioned until now. George Orwell's vision of a totalitarian state, in which cyber surveillance, historical revisionism and the Thought Police determine the lives of transparent citizens, has only become more urgent to this day.

Mary Shelley's iconic book in a special hardcover edition with silver foil embossing. The novel about the young Swiss Victor Frankenstein, who creates an artificial human being, is a rare gem of romantic horror literature: the grandiose narrative skill with which the English author turned her subject into a story that remains popular to this day makes her "Frankenstein" novel stand out far beyond most comparable novels of its era. Hardly any other classic has had as many stage adaptations and film adaptations as Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein". The text of this edition follows the 1831 revised edition.

• »If I cannot inspire love, I will cause fear!« (Frankenstein’s creature)
• »It's alive!« (from Frankenstein)

The primary vampire novel in a special hardcover edition with silver foil embossing. Count Dracula is one of the most famous literary characters in the world. Ever since the vampire novel "Dracula" by Irish writer Bram Stoker was published in 1897, it has been hard to imagine literature and film without it. The aristocratic vampire has been brought to the screen so many times that the mere mention of his name evokes a feeling of fearful anticipation. To this day, Stoker's novel about the young lawyer Harker and the demonic undead Dracula is an eerily beautiful reading experience.
