The Complete Dashiell Hammett Short Story Collection - Vol. I - Unabridged

"Dashiell Hammett is universally regarded as one of the finest American writers of 'hard boiled' detective fiction and his short stories and novels have been hailed as some of the best mystery stories ever written. Hammett would doubtless have gone down in literary history simply for his creation of the detective Sam Spade ('The Maltese Falcon') as well as Nick and Nora Charles ('The Thin Man' series), but he is also the creator of another of the most popular detectives in fiction: the nameless private investigator known as the Continental Op, who appears in dozens of his stories. Collected here is the complete collection of Dashiell Hammett's short fiction (though, in fairness, it seems that a old, forgotten story is unearthed every few years and added to the canon). Volume I contains Hammett's earliest stories, written from 1922 through 1924 (mostly for Black Mask magazine), including the first few Continental Op stories. Thrilling, brutal, spine-tingling and just plain brilliant, no mystery collection would be complete without the complete works of the master of the genre: Dashiell Hammett."

Shakespeare's Greatest Monologues - The Complete Collection: Over 40 Legendary Speeches

"William Shakespeare, long hailed as the history's greatest dramatic writer, has been lauded for his mastery of poetic expression, his insight into the human condition and his deep exploration into the psyche and motivations of his characters.

From King Henry V's inspiring speech to his soldiers on the field of Agincourt to the villainous Merchant of Venice Shylock defending his own cruelty, to the shepherdess Phebe from 'As You Like It' grappling with her sudden attraction to a young courtier, to Nick Bottom from 'A Midsummer Night's Dream,' awaking from the strangest dream in history, Shakespeare's monologues are short distillations of his larger themes - love and loss, fairness and inequity, power and envy, lust and purity.
