Strumming a harp while floating on a white cloud might be Paradise for some people, but it would bore others stiff. Given an unlimited chance to choose your ideal world, what would you specify—palaces or log cabins? I'll take beer, son, and thanks again for the offer. As you can see, I'm kinda down on my luck. I know what you're thinking, but I'm not really on the bum. I usually make out all right—nothing fancy, mind you, but it's a living. Odd jobs in the winter and spring, follow the harvests in the summer and fall. Things are slack right now.You? Electronics, huh? Used to know a fellow in electronics.... His name was Joe Shannon, used to work for Stellar Electric up in Fremont. Young fellow, not more'n twenty-five or so. Rail thin, wispy hair, serious look—you know, the one suit, absent-minded type. Joe was a brain. A triple-A, gold-plated, genuine genius. Had a wife named Marge. Not beautiful but pretty and a nice figure and a cook you never saw the likes of. Like I say, she was married to Joe but Joe was married to his work and after you'd been around a while, you could tell there was friction. But that ain't the beginning.

He stood watching while George Atkinson spun around, dark eyes flashing, hair tousled. There was a two days' growth of beard darkening Atkinson's face. "Why, George," Loveral said, swiftly examining the litter of metal and wood which was spread over a table behind Atkinson. There was a home-made hammer in Atkinson's hand. "What have we here, George?""Something for you," Atkinson said, tightening his fingers about the handle of the hammer.Loveral grinned his famous Loveral grin. "That's fine. What could it be?" "None of your damned business.""George," Loveral said, his smile still white but his eyes narrow and quick.The woman was behind them. Her voice screeched. "George, I told you. Why didn't you listen, George? You should have listened to me. You—" Loveral held up a hand, still watching Atkinson. "Now tell me, George, what is it you're making for me?"Atkinson raised the hammer slightly.Loveral stood very still. "That's a nice hammer, George."Atkinson's eyes were black beneath his thick brows."You made that, didn't you?" Loveral asked."Yes, I made that," Atkinson said. "I made that and I made something else. Another minute and I'll have that finished, too." "George," said Loveral, stepping quietly forward, "I don't like to say this, of course. You've been one of our very best members. But nobody works here, George. We can't allow that. You know the rules." "I know the rules, all right.""Well, then," Loveral said, extending his hand toward the hammer, "we'll just destroy this and whatever else you might have been making. We'll just forget it ever happened. We'll get along real fine that way, George. We'll just be such good friends.""We'll just go to hell," said Atkinson, snatching his hammer away. Loveral's smile disappeared. "I'll tell you, George. I have to mean business with this. You know the reasons. If we allow anybody to work here, then there's going to be trouble. That isn't our plan. We're here to grow within ourselves and expand culturally. Not to commercialize a beautiful world like Dream Planet."

Nuova edizione illustrata con i disegni originali di Walter Paget e Frederic Dorr Steele. "L'avventura dell’investigatore morente", in alcune edizioni intitolato "L'avventura del detective morente" o "L'avventura del poliziotto morente" è uno dei 56 racconti di Sherlock Holmes scritto dall'autore britannico Arthur Conan Doyle, inizialmente pubblicato nelle riviste Collier's e The Strand Magazine e in seguito parte di una raccolta di otto racconti pubblicata come libro con il titolo di "Il suo ultimo saluto: alcune reminiscenze di Sherlock Holmes", in alcune edizioni intitolato "L'ultimo saluto di Sherlock Holmes". Sir Arthur Ignatius Conan Doyle (Edimburgo, 22 maggio 1859 – Crowborough, 7 luglio 1930) è stato uno scrittore scozzese, considerato, insieme ad Edgar Allan Poe, il fondatore di due generi letterari: il giallo e il fantastico. In particolare è il capostipite del sottogenere noto come giallo deduttivo, reso famoso dal personaggio dell'investigatore Sherlock Holmes. La produzione dello scrittore tuttavia spazia dal romanzo d'avventura alla fantascienza, dal soprannaturale ai temi storici.

Il racconto narra di Savile a cui, in seguito ad un ricevimento offerto da Lady Windermere dove ad alcuni ospiti viene letto il futuro, un chiromante predice una minaccia imminente: egli stesso sarà l'artefice di un omicidio. Lord Arthur, prossimo alle nozze, crede fermamente nella predizione del chiromante e per evitare di coinvolgere la futura moglie nelle conseguenze del delitto, decide di posticipare il matrimonio e procedere speditamente alla sua realizzazione. Il protagonista risulta molto pratico nell'affrontare i problemi che si ritrova, non si fa remore di infrangere la morale, il destino contro la volontà che non trova resistenza; è questo forse riconducibile al Fato greco - di quella Grecia che Wilde idealizza come epoca felice e quasi perfetta -, superiore persino agli Dèi, e quindi, anche alla mera morale degli uomini. Tema questo, della moralità tradita, che si evolverà poi negli anni, e da un'inevitabile ed imposta scelta "fatale", arriverà ad essere una consapevole volontà del protagonista, e per questo buona solo a portare la rovina - tutto questo, ovviamente, nel Ritratto di Dorian Gray. Disponibile anche in edizione con testo a fronte specifica per eBook.

The Jungle Book (1894) is a collection of stories by English Nobel laureate Rudyard Kipling. The stories were first published in magazines in 1893–94. The original publications contain illustrations, some by Rudyard's father, John Lockwood Kipling. Kipling was born in India and spent the first six years of his childhood there. After about ten years in England, he went back to India and worked there for about six-and-a-half years. These stories were written when Kipling lived in Vermont. There is evidence that it was written for his daughter Josephine, who died in 1899 aged six, after a rare first edition of the book with a poignant handwritten note by the author to his young daughter was discovered at the National Trust's Wimpole Hall in Cambridgeshire in 2010. The tales in the book (and also those in The Second Jungle Book which followed in 1895, and which includes five further stories about Mowgli) are fables, using animals in an anthropomorphic manner to give moral lessons. The verses of The Law of the Jungle, for example, lay down rules for the safety of individuals, families and communities. Kipling put in them nearly everything he knew or "heard or dreamed about the Indian jungle." Other readers have interpreted the work as allegories of the politics and society of the time. The best-known of them are the three stories revolving around the adventures of an abandoned "man cub" Mowgli who is raised by wolves in the Indian jungle. The most famous of the other stories are probably "Rikki-Tikki-Tavi", the story of a heroic mongoose, and "Toomai of the Elephants", the tale of a young elephant-handler. As with much of Kipling's work, each of the stories is preceded by a piece of verse, and succeeded by another.

"It is your best work, Basil, the best thing you have ever done," said Lord Henry, languidly. "You must certainly send it next year to the Grosvenor. The Academy is too large and too vulgar. The Grosvenor is the only place." "I don't think I will send it anywhere," he answered, tossing his head back in that odd way that used to make his friends laugh at him at Oxford. "No: I won't send it anywhere." Lord Henry elevated his eyebrows, and looked at him in amazement through the thin blue wreaths of smoke that curled up in such fanciful whorls from his heavy opium-tainted cigarette. "Not send it anywhere? My dear fellow, why? Have you any reason? What odd chaps you painters are! You do anything in the world to gain a reputation. As soon as you have one, you seem to want to throw it away. It is silly of you, for there is only one thing in the world worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about. A portrait like this would set you far above all the young men in England, and make the old men quite jealous, if old men are ever capable of any emotion." "I know you will laugh at me," he replied, "but I really can't exhibit it. I have put too much of myself into it." Lord Henry stretched his long legs out on the divan and shook with laughter. "Yes, I knew you would laugh; but it is quite true, all the same." "Too much of yourself in it! Upon my word, Basil, I didn't know you were so vain; and I really can't see any resemblance between you, with your rugged strong face and your coal-black hair, and this young Adonis, who looks as if he was made of ivory and rose-leaves. Why, my dear Basil, he is a Narcissus, and you--well, of course you have an intellectual expression, and all that. But beauty, real beauty, ends where an intellectual expression begins. Intellect is in itself an exaggeration, and destroys the harmony of any face. The moment one sits down to think, one becomes all nose, or all forehead, or something horrid. Look at the successful men in any of the learned professions. How perfectly hideous they are! Except, of course, in the Church. But then in the Church they don't think. A bishop keeps on saying at the age of eighty what he was told to say when he was a boy of eighteen, and consequently he always looks absolutely delightful. Your mysterious young friend, whose name you have never told me, but whose picture really fascinates me, never thinks. I feel quite sure of that. He is a brainless, beautiful thing, who should be always here in winter when we have no flowers to look at, and always here in summer when we want something to chill our intelligence. Don't flatter yourself, Basil: you are not in the least like him."

“Non capite, se giudicate” Il racconto è diviso in due parti: nella prima la falsificazione di un titolo di credito di piccolo valore, fatta da due studenti, innesca una catena di eventi che coinvolgono decine di altre persone, con conseguenze sempre più gravi; nella seconda parte viene offerta una possibilità di redenzione alla maggior parte dei protagonisti superstiti. Pubblicato anche con il titolo di ""Denaro falso"" e ""La cedola falsa"", questo racconto è stato giudicato un racconto-pamphlet, una requisitoria contro il denaro, inteso come strumento di corruzione individuale e sociale. Contro il potere del denaro, Tolstòj auspica un ritorno a forme sociali premoderne che ricordano le utopie rousseaviane.

The Jungle Book (1894) is a collection of stories by English author Rudyard Kipling. The stories were first published in magazines in 1893–94. The edition contains 89 illustrations by Maurice de Becque, and others, like the author's father, John Lockwood Kipling.? The tales in the book (as well as those in The Second Jungle Book which followed in 1895, and which includes five further stories about Mowgli) are fables, using animals in an anthropomorphic manner to give moral lessons. The verses of The Law of the Jungle, for example, lay down rules for the safety of individuals, families, and communities.

The best-known of them are the three stories revolving around the adventures of Mowgli, an abandoned "man cub" who is raised by wolves in the Indian jungle. The most famous of the other four stories are probably "Rikki-Tikki-Tavi", the story of a heroic mongoose, and "Toomai of the Elephants", the tale of a young elephant-handler. As with much of Kipling's work, each of the stories is followed by a piece of verse.The Jungle Book came to be used as a motivational book by the Cub Scouts, a junior element of the Scouting movement. This use of the book's universe was approved by Kipling at the request of Robert Baden-Powell, founder of the Scouting movement, who had originally asked for the author's permission for the use of the Memory Game from Kim in his scheme to develop the morale and fitness of working-class youths in cities. Akela, the head wolf in The Jungle Book, has become a senior figure in the movement, the name being traditionally adopted by the leader of each Cub Scout pack.

Il libro della giungla (The Jungle Book) è una raccolta di racconti dello scrittore Premio Nobel per la Letteratura Rudyard Kipling; pubblicati, mentre viveva nel Vermont, su vari giornali e riviste tra il 1893 e il 1894. Questa pubblicazione contiene 89 illustrazioni di Maurice de Becque e altri disegnatori, fra cui anche il padre stesso dell'autore, John Lockwood Kipling.I più conosciuti tra questi racconti rimangono difatti le storie che narrano le avventure del "cucciolo d'uomo" di nome Mowgli, abbandonato nella giungla indiana e adottato da un branco di lupi.Tra gli altri racconti, i più noti sono probabilmente Rikki-tikki-tavi (la storia di un'eroica mangusta) e Toomai degli elefanti (la storia di un giovane conduttore di elefanti). Il secondo libro della giungla seguì nel 1895, comprende, tra le altre, ulteriori cinque storie che vedono protagonista il piccolo Mowgli.I racconti del libro della giungla che narrano le avventure di Mowgli (detti per l'appunto storie di Mowgli) sono utilizzati come ambientazione dai lupetti, la fascia d'età più giovane del movimento scout. Quest'uso venne approvato da Rudyard Kipling dopo una richiesta diretta da parte di Robert Baden-Powell, il fondatore dello scautismo.Attraverso i vari personaggi della storia (positivi e no) vengono incarnati qualità o difetti soggettivi. Questo particolare metodo viene definito la "morale per tipi". Per esempio Tabaqui rappresenta il disordine, la trasandatezza e la viltà, Baloo rappresenta la saggezza e la spiritualità individuale, Bagheera rappresenta l'agilità e la forza fisica, Shere Khan la prepotenza, Kaa la bontà d'animo e la cortesia. I pregi dei personaggi positivi sono inoltre riassunti in alcune frasi chiamate parole maestre, queste frasi sono anch'esse tratte dal libro della giungla ed insegnate ai lupetti.

Le Livre de la jungle (The Jungle Book) est un recueil de nouvelles écrit par Rudyard Kipling lors d’un séjour de quatre années dans le Vermont, aux ?tats-Unis. Kipling avait auparavant vécu pendant plus de six ans en Inde, d'où est puisée l'inspiration de la majorité de ses nouvelles. La traduction fran?aise la plus connue est due à Robert d'Humières et Louis Fabulet. Le Livre de la Jungle est un recueil de nouvelles dont chacune raconte une histoire qui se passe dans la jungle, forêt de l’Inde où vivent des animaux sauvages typiques du pays, ainsi que des hommes. Les nouvelles se succèdent dans un ordre qui n’est pas nécessairement chronologique, et permettent de découvrir par différents c?tés la destinée de Mowgli petit d’homme, son éducation, la vie sociale du monde des animaux, et les lois de la Jungle auxquelles tous sont soumis, les hommes aussi. Les histoires ne se déroulent pas toutes dans la jungle indienne (ainsi, l'histoire des phoques se déroule en Alaska et mentionne les lois de la plage) et ne font pas toutes intervenir Mowgli. ? la fin de chaque nouvelle, un court chant en vers, en rapport avec cette dernière, offre un pendant poétique. Par exemple, le Chant de Mowgli à la suite de Au tigre ! au tigre !, le Chant de Darzee à la suite de Rikki-Tikki-Tavi, etc.

Illustrierte Ausgabe (mit s?mtliche über 89 Illustrationen von Maurice de Becque und andere Illustratoren). Das Dschungelbuch (englischer Originaltitel The Jungle Book) ist eine Sammlung von Erz?hlungen und Gedichten des britischen Autors Rudyard Kipling. Der erste Band erschien 1894, der zweite 1895 unter dem Titel The Second Jungle Book (?Das zweite Dschungelbuch“); seither werden die Erz?hlungen der beiden B?nde zumeist gemeinsam publiziert, oft als The Jungle Books (?Die Dschungelbücher“). Die bekanntesten Erz?hlungen darin handeln von Mowgli (in verschiedenen ?bersetzungen auch Maugli oder Mogli geschrieben), einem Findelkind, das bei Tieren im indischen Dschungel aufw?chst. Die Geschichten über Mowgli stehen dem Genre des Entwicklungsromans nahe, da sie Mowglis Erwachsenwerden und Bewusstwerdung vom verspielten Kind bis hin zum Herrn über die Tierwelt aufzeigen. Mowgli muss lernen, dass die Gesetze der Natur hart sind und ein hohes Ma? von Verantwortung fordern. Im Kampf mit den Kr?ften der Natur, mit den Tieren und mit den Menschen reift das Kind zum selbstbewussten Jugendlichen. Trotz mancherlei kritischer Betrachtungen – man hat in der Darstellung der Charaktere und der Betonung des Gesetzes des Dschungels Kiplings positive Stellung zum Kolonialismus erblickt – ist die Bedeutung des Dschungelbuches für die sp?tere literarische Entwicklung sowie seine Stellung als eines der bekanntesten und erfolgreichsten Jugendbücher der Welt kaum zu übersch?tzen. Joseph Rudyard Kipling (* 30. Dezember 1865 in Bombay; ? 18. Januar 1936 in London) war ein britischer Schriftsteller und Dichter. Seine bekanntesten Werke sind Das Dschungelbuch und der Roman Kim. Au?erdem schrieb er Gedichte und eine Vielzahl von Kurzgeschichten. Kipling gilt als wesentlicher Vertreter der Kurzgeschichte und als hervorragender Erz?hler. Seine Kinderbücher geh?ren zu den Klassikern des Genres. 1907 erhielt er, noch keine 42 Jahre alt, als erster englischsprachiger Schriftsteller den Literaturnobelpreis; den Rekord als jüngster Literaturnobelpreistr?ger h?lt er bis heute. Verschiedene andere Ehrungen wie die Erhebung zum Poet Laureate und in den Adelsstand lehnte er ab. ?bersetzt von Curt Abel-Musgrave und andere ?bersetzer.

L'idiota (in russo: Идиот, Idiot) è un romanzo di F?dor Michajlovi? Dostoevskij. Considerato uno dei massimi capolavori della letteratura russa, vuole rappresentare “un uomo positivamente buono”, un Cristo del XIX secolo. La stesura fu contemporanea all'esilio dello scrittore, dovuto ai debiti: ebbe inizio a Ginevra nel settembre del 1867, proseguì a Vevey (sul lago di Ginevra), a Milano, e terminò nel gennaio del 1869 a Firenze. Una targa al numero 18 di Piazza de' Pitti ricorda la permanenza dell'autore nel palazzo per quasi un anno. L'opera nel frattempo uscì a puntate dal 1868 sulla rivista Russkij vestnik (il Messaggero Russo), mentre fu presentata in forma unica l'anno successivo. In una lettera del 1867 indirizzata allo scrittore Apollon Nikolaevi? Majkov, Dostoevskij descrisse il nucleo poetico del romanzo a cui stava lavorando: ?Da tempo mi tormentava un’idea, ma avevo paura di farne un romanzo, perché è un’idea troppo difficile e non ci sono preparato, anche se è estremamente seducente e la amo. Quest’idea è raffigurare un uomo assolutamente buono. Niente, secondo me, può essere più difficile di questo, al giorno d’oggi soprattutto.? ? importante sottolineare come l'aggettivo "buono" usato nella lettera fosse nell'originale russo "prekrasnyi", che indica lo splendore della bellezza e della bontà insieme. L'opera ha avuto diversi adattamenti teatrali, cinematografici e televisivi. Nel corso del romanzo è più volte citato e discusso dai personaggi, il quadro di Hans Holbein il Giovane, "Il corpo di Cristo morto nella tomba". Dostoevskij aveva visto il dipinto nel 1867 a Basilea e ne era rimasto fortemente impressionato. Traduzione di Federigo Verdinois (1927). Federigo Verdinois (Caserta, 2 luglio 1844 – Napoli, 11 aprile 1927) è stato un giornalista, scrittore e traduttore italiano. F?dor Michajlovi? Dostoevskij (in russo: Фёдор Михайлович Достоевский; Mosca, 11 novembre 1821 – San Pietroburgo, 9 febbraio 1881) è stato uno scrittore e filosofo russo.? considerato, insieme a Tolstoj, uno dei più grandi romanzieri e pensatori di tutti i tempi.
