Although Bram Stoker wrote many novels, essays and short stories, the Irish writer is inextricably linked with his infamous vampire novel - Dracula. Many of his writings, like this adapted version of The Judge’s House, are eerie accounts between the human world and horrid beings from beyond the grave. The Judge’s House recounts the tale of a young student, looking for a remote location to study for his college exams. But the house he rents in the quiet town of Benchurch, delivers much more excitement than he ever could have imagined.

Waiting for Godot has become one of the most important and enigmatic plays of the past 50 years and a cornerstone of 20th-century drama. This bilingual edition is in honor of the centenary of Beckett's birth. Originally written in French, Beckett translated the work himself, and in doing so chose to revise and eliminate various passages.
