Pán Scrooge je známy ako lakomec a jeho chamtivosť nepozná hraníc. Dokonca ani na Vianoce sa jeho tvrdé srdce neobmäkčí, len podráždene a s kyslým výrazom na tvári sleduje predvianočný zhon. Nečakaná a tajuplná návšteva, ktorá ho vyľaká, však mnohé zmení. Navštívi ho Marley, jeho dávny obchodný partner, čo by však nebolo nič neobvyklé, keby Marley nebol dávno mŕtvy. A nebude to len duch Marleyho, ale pána Scroogea prídu osobne pozrieť aj ďalšie prízraky. Štedrý deň sa neúprosne blíži a s ním možnosť vykúpenia. Prehodnotí Scrooge svoj doterajší život, alebo sa bude naďalej utápať v pocitoch odporu a nenávisti? Najkrajší príbeh veľkého anglického rozprávača " Vianočná koleda" z roku 1843 aj v súčasnosti dokáže zaujať a osloviť čitateľov po celom svete.

There is a fine line between love and madness, between insanity and pure evil. This is Michael West at his terrifying best! From heart-stopping horror to the strangest of fantasies - these are tales from the darkest regions of his twisted imagination! All the usual tropes are here - vampires and shapeshifters, ghosts and witches, gods and monsters, mummies and zombies - but none of them are exactly what you would expect... A dream vacation takes a nightmarish turn when a couple finds they did not come home alone... A man agrees to a meeting with his estranged wife and learns the horrible, obscene truth of the old saying: "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned..." An American platoon, cut off from the outside world, discovers an unbelievable enemy they were never trained to fight... And a man struggling with depression and grief receives text messages from beyond the grave, messages that push him to the edge of sanity...and beyond... Ten more reasons to say your prayers. Ten more reasons to check beneath your bed. Ten more reasons why you may never want to close your eyes again.

This new edition retains the essential features of Michael West's work and brings the text up to date in various ways. As before it explains the words likely to be encountered in general reading within a vocabulary of 1,455 common words. New headwords added for this edition have been defined within this vocabulary and where a word outside it is used, for example as a cross-reference, it is printed in small capital letters. A new pronunciation system uses that form of the International Phonetic Alphabet which is now found in other Longman dictionaries. A further new feature is a label for each headword showing which part of speech is being defined.

'The Canterbury Tales', compiled in the late fourteenth century, is an incisive portrait, infused with Chaucer's wry wit and vibrant, poetical language. He evokes a spestrum of colourful characters, from the bawdy Wife of Bath to the gallant Knight, the fastidious Prioress and the burly, drunken Miller. As they wend their way from Southwark to Canterbury, tales are told to pass the time, and the stories are as diverse as the narrators, encompassing themes such as adultery, revenge, courtly love, lechery, avarice and penitence. As humorous today as when it was written over six centuries ago, 'The Canterbury Tales' remains one of the most popular and enjoyable of the classic works of literature.
