As part of our 225th anniversary celebrations in 2017, we're paying homage to seven popular classics by reproducing them as limited edition yellowbacks. Nowadays yellowback books are a rare collector's item but back in the late 1800's they were a common sight on Britain's railways. Yellowbacks are an incredibly important part of the history of WHSmith, cementing our place in the books and rail industries, and we are very proud of the role we played in bringing books to the masses.This is a special yellowback edition of Hard Times by Charles Dickens, a damning indictment of Utilitarianism and the dehumanising influence of the Industrial Revolution from one of the best-loved novelists in the English language.

Ein Kind, das zur Sonnenwende gezeugt wird, verheißt der kleinen Insel Caransay Wohlstand und Zufriedenheit - eine schottische Legende, an die Lady Margaret nicht glaubt. Aber dann begegnet sie in jener Nacht einem Fremden und genießt mit ihm wie im Rausch den uralten Zauber der Liebe ... Ein Sommersturm braust über die Insel Caransay hinweg, als die schöne Lady Margaret MacNeill auf Geheiß ihrer Großmutter zu den schwarzen Klippen geht. Einer schottischen Sage nach soll in dieser Nacht eine Sterbliche mit einem Sea Kelpie, einem geheimnisvollen Meerwesen, ein Kind zeugen. Abergläubischer Unfug, denkt Margaret. Doch kaum betritt sie die Klippe, liegt dort ein bewusstloser Mann. Während sie sich über ihn beugt, schlägt er seine seegrünen Augen auf, und einen atemberaubenden Moment lang erkennt Margaret darin ihr Schicksal, sieht das Kind, das neun Monate später geboren wird. Voller Leidenschaft gibt sie sich dem Fremden hin, in der irrigen Annahme, ihn nach dieser stürmischen Liebesbegegnung nie wiederzusehen..

Štyria odvážni cestovatelia sa odhodlali preskúmať toto tvrdenie. Počas expedície spoznali množstvo predhistorických zvierat, predovšetkým z mladšej doby jurskej. Čitateľ prežíva spolu s nimi nevšedné dobrodružstvá, zdesenie a hrôzu.
