Charles Dickens - The ​Parish Clerk / A falusi tanító
Kétnyelvű ​kiadványainkkal elsősorban a nyelvtanulóknak kívánunk segítséget nyújtani, hogy kellemes és tanulságos módon tökéletesíthessék tudásukat. Éppen ezért kiadványaink fordításánál minél nagyobb nyelvhűségre törekszünk, bár a jó magyar stílus követelményei helyenként megkívánják, hogy kisebb-nagyobb mértékben eltérjünk a szó szerinti fordítástól. Olvasóink számára a teljesség kedvéért dőlt betűs írással jelöltük azokat a magyar szövegben található szavakat vagy szócsoportokat, amelyek az eredeti szövegben nem szerepelnek, de a magyar nyelv szellemének megfelelően a magyar szövegben elkerülhetetlenek. Számozással jelöltük viszont azokat a legfontosabb kifejezéseket, amelyek jellegzetesen hozzátartoznak a szóban forgó idegen nyelvhez, de magyarra szó szerint le nem fordíthatók. A kiadvány végén jegyzetben közöljük az ezekre vonatkozó magyarázatokat.

Let ​me tell you a story. No, wait, one's not enough. I'll begin again... Let me tell you stories of the months of the year, of ghosts and heartbreak, of dread and desire.

These nineteen stories, by some of the most interesting and innovative writers working today, will change your mind about what stories can and should do as they explore the imaginative space between conventional genres. The editors garnered stories from new and established authors in the United States, Canada, Australia, and the United Kingdom, and also fiction translated from Spanish, Hungarian, and French. The collection features stories from Christopher Barzak, Colin Greenland, Holly Phillips, Rachel Pollack, Vandana Singh, Anna Tambour, Catherynne Valente, Leslie What, and others.

P. G. Wodehouse - Very ​Good, Jeeves

By rescuing Bingo Little and Tuppy Glossop from the soup (twice each). By arranging rather too many performances of the song 'Sonny Boy' to a not very appreciative audience. And by a variety of other sparkling stratagems that should reduce you to helpless laughter.
