And may Hesperus Press keep on surprising us.” Adrienne Miller, Esquire “Bravo to Hesperus…. These titles have been largely lost to the general reading public… exquisitely cool little volumes.” Benjamin Schwarz, The Atlantic Monthly “Hesperus Press is finding, and often newly translating, astounding forgotten works.” Carlin Romano, The Chronicle Review of Higher Education “The Hesperus library… serves as a lasting inoculation against industrially canned literary judgment.” Michael Upchurch, The Seattle Times “A maverick publisher revives literature with modern touches.” Book Description Compiled by Charles Dickens, and including chapters by Elizabeth Gaskell and Wilkie Collins, A House to Let is a composite tale of mystery and intrigue set amid the dark streets of Victorian London. Advised by her doctor to have a change of scenery, the elderly Sophonisba takes up lodgings in London. Immediately intrigued by a nearby “house to let,” she charges her two warring attendants, Trottle and Jarber, to unearth the secret behind its seeming desertedness. Rivals to the end, they each seek to outdo the other to satisfy their mistress’ curiosity; however, it is only after repeated false starts—and by way of elaborate tales of men lost at sea, circus performers, and forged death certificates— that they happen upon the truth. Charles Dickens (181270) is one of England’s most important literary figures. His works enjoyed enormous success in his day and are still among the most popular and widely read classics of all time.
Through these classic works, which feature forewords by leading contemporary authors, the modern reader will be introduced to the greatest writers of Europe and America. An elegantly designed series of genuine rediscoveries.
