Considered one of the greatest literary achievements of the 19th century, The Death of Ivan Ilyitch by Leo Tolstoy rocks the reader out of his smug self-assurance that he is 'living as he ought.' Having accomplished this, the next question is raised: "If I certainly know that I have not lived as I have ought, and I certainly know that I will die tomorrow, with no time to make amends, what possible hope for me is left?" Astute readers will understand that we are all Ivan. His dilemma is our own. A Russian author, Tolstoy published The Death of Ivan Ilyitch in 1886.

From the prolific British author, Edgar Wallace, comes The Dark Eyes of London, a crime novel that has inspired two international films. During his lifetime, Wallace wrote over 900 short stories, over 170 novels, and 18 stage plays. While many of his thrilling tales have left a mark on cinematography, Wallace is most well known for writing "King Kong," which became hugely popular and is now considered a classic film. Wallace's work has reached into the far corners of the world and in some places, his novels are still favored by fans of the classics. In The Dark Eyes of London, published in 1924 and adapted into film first in 1939, readers follow Inspector Holt as he dives deep into a murder mystery. Inspector Holt of the Scotland Yard is planning a visit to Monte Carlo when Holt is called back to work. He's thrown on the case of Mr. Gordon Stuart, a man drowned in what seems to be suspicious circumstances. A Holt investigates, he discovers that there's been a series of deaths all involving wealthy men in London, and soon he sees the connections between them. Of course, attempting to solve a mystery such as this means danger awaits-and maybe a little romance, too. Wallace's The Dark Eyes of London is a grimy story of the darkness that lurks in London, complete with a melodramatic mystery and a thrilling romance.
