Brontë, Charlotte.  Jane Eyre  = Джейн Эйр / C. Brontë ; предисл., комент. Е. В. Угарова.  –  М. : Айрис-пресс, 2013. – 256 p. : il. – (Классика в пересказе) (English).

Jane Eyre, the story of a young girl and her passage into adulthood, was an immediate commercial success at the time of its original publication in 1847. Its representation of the underside of domestic life and the hypocrisy behind religious enthusiasm drew both praise and bitter criticism, while Charlotte Brontë's striking expose of poor living conditions for children in charity schools as well as her poignant portrayal of the limitations faced by women who worked as governesses sparked great controversy and social debate. Jane Eyre, Brontë's best-known novel, remains an extraordinary coming-of-age narrative, and one of the great classics of literature.

The novel is a fascinating, exquisitely crafted tale of America in the 1920s in which the American Dream turned out to be a tragedy.

Wilde, Oscar. The Picture of Dorian Gray = Портрет Доріана Грея / O. Wilde. – К. : Znannia, 2015. – 288 p. – (English Library).

Oscar Wilde was an Irish writer, playwright, poet, essayist, an outstanding representative of European decadence. “The Picture of Dorian Gray” is the only published Oscar Wilde's novel. The publication of this literary masterpiece caused grand scandal evoking contradictory responses from his contemporaries. But at the same time, it made the author famous and provided him the place in the pantheon of the best–known writers of the world. Combining the features of the gothic novel, the comedy of manners, and the treatise on interrelation between art and morality, “The Picture of Dorian Gray “ still remains an enigma for the readers and, because of it, is as relevant today as it was many years ago.
