[Penguin Readers Level 5]The book centres on the character of Mr. Harding, a clergyman of great personal integrity, whose charitable income far exceeds the purpose for which it was intended. Young John Bold turns his reforming zeal to exposing what he considers to be an abuse of privilege, despite being in love with Mr. Harding's daughter Eleanor. The novel was highly topical as a case regarding the misapplication of church funds was the scandalous subject of contemporary debate. But Trollope uses this specific case to explore and illuminate the universal complexities of human motivation and social morality.

In their final adventure, the four Musketeers plot to replace King Louis XIV of France with the mysterious, masked prisoner in the Bastille believed to be Louis' falsely imprisoned twin brother and the true king.

A retelling for students of English of one of Dickens's best-known novels, this is an upper intermediate-level Macmillan Reader.

Shortly afterwards, he is summoned to Satis House, the derelict, gloomy home of the strange, reclusive Miss Havisham.

L’essenzialità, la finezza descrittiva, i personaggi indimenticabili hanno fatto di questo romanzo un “classico moderno”. Il misterioso, affascinante e inquieto Gatsby, con le sue feste stravaganti, il lusso e la mondanità di cui si circonda, non mira in verità che a ritrovare l’amore di Daisy. Ma è possibile ricatturare il passato? Nello scenario dei frenetici anni Venti, di cui Fitzgerald e la moglie Zelda furono protagonisti, il desiderio di Gatsby diventa emblema di un sogno di assolutezza, che la realtà frantuma e disperde. Molti grandi attori hanno prestato il loro volto a Gatsby e Daisy, tra i quali Robert Redford e Mia Farrow nel 1974, Leonardo DiCaprio e Carey Mulligan nel 2013.
