The Annotated Pride and Prejudice
This first-ever fully annotated edition of one of the most beloved novels in the world is a sheer delight for Jane Austen fans.

It is widely agreed that Plato laid the foundations for the whole history of western thought and, well over 2000 years later, his work is still studied by every student of philosophy.

The Bakhtin Reader: Selected Writings of Bakhtin, Medvedev, Voloshinov
Incessantly cited by critics, Bakhtin's work none the less remains relatively unavailable: partly through lack of suitable editions, partly because no individual text conveys all the key concepts or arguments. This anthology provides in a convenient format a good selection of the writing by Bakhtin and of that attributed to Voloshinov and Medvedev. It introduces readers to the aspects most relevant to literary and cultural studies and gives a focused sense of Bakhtin's central ideas and the underlying cohesiveness of his thinking.
Abelard and Heloise - The Letters and Other Writings
The most comprehensive compilation of the works of Abelard and Heloise ever presented in a single volume in English, The Letters and Other Writings features an accurate and stylistically faithful new translation of both The Calamities of Peter Abelard and the remarkable letters it sparked between the ill-fated twelfth-century philosopher and his brilliant former student and lover -- an exchange whose intellectual passion, formal virtuosity, and psychological drama distinguish it as one of the most extraordinary correspondences in European history.
Knowledge is nowadays recognized as a significant factor of production. However, as the area of interest is still relatively new, there are multiple views and angles to the phenomenon.
