Part of Penguin's beautiful hardback Clothbound Classics series,
designed by the award-winning Coralie Bickford-Smith, these
delectable and collectible editions are bound in high-quality
colourful, tactile cloth with foil stamped into the design. The
Woman in White famously opens with Walter Hartright's eerie
encounter on a moonlit London road. Engaged as a drawing master to
the beautiful Laura Fairlie, Walter is drawn into the sinister
intrigues of Sir Percival Glyde and his 'charming' friend Count
Fosco, who has a taste for white mice, vanilla bonbons and poison.
Pursuing questions of identity and insanity along the paths and
corridors of English country houses and the madhouse, The Woman in
White is the first and most influential of the Victorian genre that
combined Gothic horror with psychological realism.
'A remarkable story of subterfuge and brainwashing that few Hollywood scriptwriters could have made up' Simon Heffer, author of The Age of Decadence
In 1967, at the height of the Vietnam War, an exodus begins. A thousand American deserters and draft-resisters escape the brutal fighting for the calm shores of Stockholm. These defectors are young, radical and want to start a revolution. The Swedes treat their new guests like rock stars - but the CIA is going to put a stop to that.
It's a job for the deep-cover men of Operation Chaos and their allies - agents who know how to invade radical organizations and crush them from the inside. And within a few months, the GIs have turned on each other - and the interrogations and recriminations begin.
A gripping espionage story filled with a host of extraordinary and unbelievable plays, Operation Chaos is the incredible but true account of the men who left the war, how they betrayed each other and how they became lost in a world where anything seemed possible - even the idea that the CIA had secretly programmed them to kill their friends.

"Oh God! Sister Angelique, do not come into my room; I am not
decent right now. Do you think anyone should be caught in my state?
I really did think I had closed the door" Sister Agnes was only
thirteen when she entered the convent. In this repressive
environment, she has spent her time secluded and naive. However,
Sister Angelique, at nineteen years of age, is more worldly and
proceeds to educate Sister Agnes...So follows a seduction and
exploration of female sexual desire. Written in 1683 as a series of
dialogues (known as whore dialogues) between the two nuns, Venus in
the Cloister shows erotic fiction was popular long before the days
of EL James and could be just as titillating. In fact it was
considered so shocking at the time in its portrayal of sexual
voyeurism and notion of female intimacy, it was responsible for the
first trial for obscenity in the United Kingdom. Forget Fifty
Shades - a pale imitation of the real thing - and go back to the
beginning to read an original tale of eroticism -
