In The Little Prince, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry provides a roadmap for the human soul. A stranded pilot meets a golden-haired boy from Asteroid B-612 who reveals the absurdity of "grown-ups"—those so consumed by authority and figures that they have forgotten how to live.

Why did the discipline of the ancients triumph where modern armies failed? In The Art of War, Niccolò Machiavelli challenges the reliance on mercenaries and advocates for a return to the civic virtues of Rome. Written as a spirited dialogue between a renowned commander and Florentine nobles, this masterpiece is a philosophical treatise on the bond between a society and its defenders.

Two masterpieces of literature are united in this essential volume. The Little Prince and A Little Princess may appear different—one a philosophical fable of space travel, the other a grounded Victorian drama—but together they weave a tapestry of resilience and hope.

Set along the dim winter streets of North Richmond Street, the story follows a boy whose thoughts become consumed by Mangan’s sister, a girl who unknowingly becomes the center of his dreams.

In The Ordeal of Young Tuppy, the tranquility of Bleaching Court is thrown into delightful disarray when Bertie decides that the treacherous Tuppy Glossop deserves a carefully planned revenge.

Fortunately, Jeeves is nearby to restore order—with his customary brilliance. Sparkling with P. G.

Completed in the early 11th century, The Tale of Genji is considered the supreme masterpiece of Japanese prose literature, and one of the world's earliest novels. A work of great length, it comprises six parts, the first part of which (also called The Tale of Genji) is reprinted here. The exact origins of this remarkable saga of the nobility of Heian Japan remain somewhat obscured by time, although its author, Lady Shikibu Murasaki, presumably derived many of her insights into court life from her years of service with the royal family.

In this delightfully tangled episode, P. G. Wodehouse introduces a predicament involving young Gussie, a looming engagement, and a formidable aunt whose visit threatens to turn everything upside down. What begins as a simple social obligation soon escalates into a web of misunderstandings that demand ingenuity, courage — and possibly a strategic escape. With his signature lightness and impeccable comic timing, Wodehouse delivers a sparkling narrative filled with awkward encounters, social tightropes, and the delicate art of preserving one's dignity (or what remains of it).

In The Man With Two Left Feet, P. G. Wodehouse invites you into a world where earnest intentions, impeccable logic, and a dash of romantic optimism collide in the most gloriously impractical ways. Here, intelligence may not save you, dignity is perpetually under threat, and even the simplest ambition can spiral into a masterpiece of comic misadventure. Wodehouse's genius lies not in what happens, but in how exquisitely it goes wrong. Expect charming absurdity, gentle satire, and that uniquely buoyant humour in which catastrophe never quite loses its elegance.
