Miss Austen is a 4 part drama series based on the novel by Gill Hornby and follows the story of Cassandra, Jane Austen’s lesser-known sister.

Pivoting between earlier and later years of Cassandra’s life, the series centres around the literary mystery – Cassandra notoriously burning her famous sister Jane’s letters, and reimagines it as a fascinating, witty and heart-breaking story of sisterly love, while creating in Cassandra a character as captivating as any Austen heroine.

When the New York Public Library announced in October 1968 that its Berg Collection had acquired the original manuscript of <em>The Waste Land</em>, one of the most puzzling mysteries of twentieth-century literature was solved. The manuscript was not lost, as had been believed, but had remained among the papers of John Quinn, Eliot’s friend and adviser, to whom the poet had sent it in 1922.<br /><br /><br />If the discovery of the manuscript was startling, its content was even more so: the published version of <em>The Waste Land</em> was considerably shorter than the original. The manuscript pages illuminate how the famously elliptical poem was reduced and edited through the handwritten notes of Ezra Pound; of Eliot’s first wife, Vivien; and of Eliot himself. So that this material could be made widely available, the poet’s widow, Valerie Eliot, prepared the facsimile edition for publication in 1971, reproducing each page of the original manuscript with a clear transcript, an enlightening introduction, and explanatory notes.<br /><br /><br />In celebration of the centenary of the poem, published in the United States by Boni Liveright in 1922, Eliot’s manuscript pages are presented in vivid color for the first time. The updated facsimile edition also offers a new appendix—including a sheet of Valerie Eliot’s corrections discovered in the Faber archive in 2021—and an insightful afterword from Faber poetry editor Matthew Hollis. Complete with the text of the first published version of <em>The Waste Land</em>, this definitive volume reveals the evolution of a landmark work of the twentieth century and its enduring legacy.

乔治·奥威尔（1903-1950），英国伟大的人道主义作家、新闻记者和社会评论家，著名的英语文体家。《动物农场》是奥威尔最优秀的作品之一，是一部老少皆宜的读物。对青少年读者，它是一个生动有趣的动物故事。对成熟的读者而言，则可以看作是一个入木三分的反乌托的政治讽喻寓言。故事讲到：农场的一群动物成功地进行了一场“革命”，将压榨他们的人类东家赶出农场，建立起一个平等的动物社会。然而，动物领袖，那些聪明的猪们最终却篡夺了革命的果实，成为比人类东家更加残忍的统治者。
用动物对人类抗争后自建家园来再现前苏联的整个历史情形，奥威尔的《动物农场》被公认为二十世纪最杰出的政治寓言。
《动物农场》被译成二十多种文字在全世界流传，其中的有些语言还变成了人们的口头禅，和《1984》并称为乔治・奥威尔最重要的代表作。此版本收有小说的英文原文。
