1.		Thus Spoke Zarathustra (Selections) / Also sprach Zarathustra (Auswahl): A Dual-Language Book (Dual-Language Books) (German Edition) from Dover Publications Price: $11.01 Customer Review: One of the more interesting things about Nietzche is that, as a philosopher, his ideas were always changing - yet popular culture remembers him chiefly as a nihilist. It is in Thus Spoke Zarathustra that he proposes an answer to questions of meaninglessness and devaluation; The Superman. He also... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

2.		Heart of Darkness (Dover Thrift Editions) from Dover Publications Price: $1.50 Customer Review: Joseph Conrad is an amazing writer; he uses the English language of the late 19th and early 20th centuries beautifully, he describes the colonial world at its apogee, he tells engrossing stories but even his seemingly potboiler plots (such as The Secret Sharer) raise disturbingly serious moral... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

3.		The Metamorphosis and Other Stories (Dover Thrift Editions) from Dover Publications Price: $2.00 Customer Review: Having never read any Kafka even in my late twenties, a professor of mine pointed out that he'd done a translation if I would be interested, and I was; I wasn't aware how much I was going to enjoy these stories, and the edition they're in is great for a number of reasons, but not without its flaws.... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

4.		The Chicago World's Fair of 1893: A Photographic Record (Dover Architectural Series) from Dover Publications Price: $10.36 Customer Review: I highly recommend this book, particularly as a companion to "The Devil in the White City." The only minor problem I had with it was the lack of photos for all of the state and national buildings.	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

5.		English Romantic Poetry: An Anthology (Dover Thrift Editions) from Dover Publications Price: $3.50 Customer Review: I was teaching the "English Romantics" to a small class of students. I needed something cheap. This did the job although it has no footnotes or annotations to the text. Introduction to each poet is helpful but limited in scope.

6.		Bartleby and Benito Cereno from Dover Publications Price: $2.00 Customer Review: Bartleby is a quick entertaining read about the breakdown between employee/employer relationships.	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

8.		The Red Badge of Courage (Dover Thrift Editions) from Dover Publications, Inc. Price: $2.00 Customer Review: The Red Badge of Courage is told through the perspective of a young man from the North named Henry Fleming or "the youth" as Crane calls him often. Reluctantly sent on his way from a small farm in the North, Henry excitedly signs up for the army and is eager to fight his first battle against the... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

9.		Five Great German Short Stories: A Dual-Language Book from Dover Publications Price: $10.36 Customer Review: Each of these stories is a gem. This is some great story-telling, and it's worth the price of the book just to read these masterpieces in English. As literature, this would probably warrant five stars. If your are truly proficient in your German, by all means buy this book. BUT... if you are at... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

10.		The Immoralist (Dover Thrift Editions) from Dover Publications Price: $2.00 Customer Review: It is a generally sound practice to not conflate the author with this work, but, after reading this I am reminded of the quote by Martin Buber: "They [the French] are too superficial for a reevaluation of all values." The Immoralist as "a confession of French modernity" tediously outlines how and... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom
