Über diesen Titel

 Welcome, Reader. Here you shall find no abridgement, no timid excerpt, no mutilated chapter smoothed for idle ears. Here the tale stands whole. The Charles Reade Library restores to the living voice the full vigour of those romances in which wrong is confronted, justice pursued, and the human heart tried as by fire. Prisons shall clang, cloisters shall echo, hearth-fires shall glow, and the oppressed shall speak. For what is a novel, if not a protest against falsehood, a plea for mercy, a trumpet against cruelty? And what is reading, if not the communion of earnest minds across the gulf of years?

Come then. Sit close. The page is opened. The truth, though resisted, shall be heard.Public domain

    In which two disreputable gentlemen sit in the dusk, bartering with a peddler over a supposedly scandalous English pamphlet, only to discover upon inspection that it is a cunningly disguised moral tract, leading to their chagrin and a plotting of petty revenge. The episode delicately sketches the interplay of deception, disappointment, and camaraderie among the lowly characters, set against the dim light of a suburban public house.

    In which two felons contrive a scheme to break into a well-guarded house, enlisting the aid of a reluctant but skilled accomplice and plotting with the precision of seasoned knaves over drinks in a squalid cabin. Subsequently, their chosen man, faltering and heavy of heart, is drawn into the revelry of old acquaintances, his caution melting beneath the lure of familiar mirth and midnight dancing.
