First published in 1850, The Scarlet Letter is Nathaniel Hawthorne's masterpiece and one of the greatest American novels. Its themes of sin, guilt, and redemption, woven through a story of adultery in the early days of the Massachusetts Colony, are revealed with remarkable psychological penetration and understanding of the human heart.?The book's immediate and lasting success are due to the way it addresses spiritual and moral issues from a uniquely American standpoint. In 1850, adultery was an extremely risqué subject, but because Hawthorne had the support of the New England literary establishment, it passed easily into the realm of appropriate reading. It has been said that this work represents the height of Hawthorne's literary genius, dense with terse descriptions. It remains relevant for its philosophical and psychological depth, and continues to be read as a classic tale on a universal theme.

Around the Moon, Jules Verne's sequel to From the Earth to the Moon, is a science fiction novel which continues the trip to the moon which was only partially described in the previous novel. It was later combined with From the Earth to the Moon to create A Trip to the Moon and Around It. Having been fired out of the giant Columbiad space gun, the Baltimore Gun Club's bullet-shaped projectile, along with its three passengers, Barbicane, Nicholl and Michel Ardan, begins the five-day trip to the moon. A few minutes into the journey, a small, bright asteroid passes within a few hundred yards of them, but does not collide with the projectile. The asteroid had been captured by the Earth's gravity and had become a second moon.

Treasure Island is an adventure novel, a thrilling tale of "buccaneers and buried gold." Traditionally considered a coming of age story, it is an adventure tale of superb atmosphere, character and action, and also a wry commentary on the ambiguity of morality—as seen in Long John Silver—unusual for children's literature then and now.?

Robin Hood is the archetypal English folk hero; a courteous, pious and swashbuckling outlaw of the medi?val era who, in modern versions of the legend, is famous for robbing the rich to feed the poor and fighting against injustice and tyranny.?This is probably one of the most beautiful digital version ever made of this story, containing many gorgeous illustrations.

A Viszkis rabló visszatért. A legenda tovább él - igaz, már csak a képzeletben. Ambrus Attila els? regénye alighanem zavarba ejti az olvasót. Valóság és fantázia keveredik benne megannyi izgalommal, akcióval, váratlan fordulattal. A nyers, szókimondó stílusban megírt cselekményben megelevenednek bankrablások, a császári élethez tartozó hódítások, a szegény, kilátástalan gyerekkor emlékei, no meg a b?rt?nben átélt, kit?r?lhetetlen napok. A f?h?s valóságos haramiává válik, mert újra rabol, s?t gyilkol is, mik?zben szerelemre és talán normális életre vágyik. A Viszkis rabló visszatér, de most nem elégszik meg a kisebb zsákmánnyal. A Magyar Nemzeti Bank páncélautóját veszi célba: megtervezi, el?készíti és csatlósaival bele is vág az évtized balhéjába. Ambrus Attiláért egykor a fél ország rajongott, s mindenki azért szurkolt, hogy ne kerülj?n rend?rkézre. Az általa kreált f?szerepl? talán kevésbé lesz szimpatikus, mint a Viszkis a valóságban, de hatással lesz ránk, az egészen bizonyos. Szeretjük és utáljuk egyszerre. Ha elkezdjük olvasni a t?rténetét, már nem szabadulunk t?le. A K?nyvjelz? magazin 2015. decemberi számában megjelent cikk: Ha nem kerül?k b?rt?nbe, már nem élnék

"Amerika z?r?s hely volt a hatvanas-hetvenes években: diáklázadások, hippik és polgárjogi mozgalmak, na meg persze szex, drog és rock&roll minden mennyiségben. Skip Gibbs és barátn?je, Robin Abbott kezdett?l fogva benne volt a legkeményebb balhékban, csak épp nem virággal harcoltak a rendszer ellen, hanem dinamittal. Nem csoda, hogy az FBI jó pár évre kivonta ?ket a forgalomból...Robin - akinek volt ideje t?prengeni a sitten - kiszabadulva végül arra a k?vetkeztetésre jut: nincs értelme a kapitalizmus ellen harcolni, elég megsarcolni azokat, akiknek amúgy is túl sok pénzük van. Választása a dúsgazdag Ricks testvérekre esik, els?sorban azért, mert úgy sejti, Woody és az ?ccse, Mark nyomták fel ?ket annak idején a sz?vetségieknél. Robin ?rd?gi tervet eszel ki, hogy elégtételt vegyen a b?rt?nben elvesztegetett évekért. Ha kell, akár dinamittal is.A páros csak egy valakivel nem számol: a volt bombaszakért?

Povestea lui Andrei Mladin începe în anul 1983, când a ap?rut Atac în bibliotec?. Atunci cititorii au f?cut cuno?tin?? cu un tân?r jurnalist român glume?, dar ?i grav, în aparen?? superficial, dar tob? de carte ?i dedicat profesiei sale. Dup? ce îi ia un interviu unei violoniste celebre, Mihaela Comnoiu, el se treze?te implicat într-o situa?ie-limit?, descoperind un cadavru în biblioteca sa. La început, de fric?, Mladin eludeaz? mili?ia ?i se decide s? fac? propriile investiga?ii, devenind un detectiv f?r? voie. Treptat-treptat, descoper? c? în jurul lui s-a ?esut o conspira?ie care îi dore?te pieirea. Iste?imea ?i umorul care îl caracterizeaz? îl ajut? s? treac? prin întâmpl?ri periculoase ?i s? dezlege misterul. Totul se petrece într-un Bucure?ti în care sunt prezentate cozi la alimente, uleiul ?i zah?rul se dau pe cartel?, str?zile sunt luminate anemic, apa cald? nu curge la robinete, telefoanele sunt ascultate, cet??enii sunt supraveghea?i zi ?i noapte. Un ora? în care domne?te frica. ?i ast?zi unii se întreab? cum de a trecut de cenzur? un roman în care anchetatorul nu este un reprezentant al autorit??ilor ?i în care deseori se râde de cutumele unei epoci pe care propaganda o considera de „aur“. Dup? Atac în bibliotec? s-a realizat un film de-abia în 1992, scenariul din 1985 fiind respins de cenzura comunist?. Romanul a ap?rut în limba englez? în 2011, la editura londonez? Profusion (Attack in the Library), iar în 2015 în versiune francez?. „Atac în bibliotec? a reprezentat, la momentul lans?rii, o bomb? ale c?rei efecte au r?mas relevante ?i subversive pân? în ziua de azi.“ – Mike Phillips, scriitor britanic, laureat al premiului Silver Dagger acordat de CWA

The history of our English translations of "Don Quixote" is instructive. Shelton's, the first in any language, was made, apparently, about 1608, but not published till 1612. This of course was only the First Part. It has been asserted that the Second, published in 1620, is not the work of Shelton, but there is nothing to support the assertion save the fact that it has less spirit, less of what we generally understand by "go," about it than the first, which would be only natural if the first were the work of a young man writing currente calamo, and the second that of a middle-aged man writing for a bookseller. On the other hand, it is closer and more literal, the style is the same, the very same translations, or mistranslations, occur in it, and it is extremely unlikely that a new translator would, by suppressing his name, have allowed Shelton to carry off the credit. In 1687 John Phillips, Milton's nephew, produced a "Don Quixote" "made English," he says, "according to the humour of our modern language." His "Quixote" is not so much a translation as a travesty, and a travesty that for coarseness, vulgarity, and buffoonery is almost unexampled even in the literature of that day. But it is, after all, the humour of "Don Quixote" that distinguishes it from all other books of the romance kind. It is this that makes it, as one of the most judicial-minded of modern critics calls it, "the best novel in the world beyond all comparison." It is its varied humour, ranging from broad farce to comedy as subtle as Shakespeare's or Moliere's that has naturalised it in every country where there are readers, and made it a classic in every language that has a literature.

FIRE MOUNTAIN IS "A THRILLING SEA STORY BY "NORMAN SPRINGER", AUTHOR OF "THE BLOOD SHIP" Years. Bright, aslant eyes, and a suave and ever-ready smile that broke immediately Martin met his gaze. "You will be so good as to inform the honorable that Dr. Ichi is here?" he asked in precise and stilted voice. Ever the same—the noiseless entry, the quietly spoken request for the lawyer. Martin repressed a flash of irritation; the little Japanese, with his uncanny soft-footedness and stereotyped address, got upon his nerves. However, his orders were explicit; Mr. Smatt would see Dr. Ichi without delay or preliminary, whenever Dr. Ichi favored the office with a visit. It was already the third visit that day, but orders were orders. So, Martin inclined his head toward the door of Smatt's private office. The Japanese crossed the room. He bowed to Martin, as stately a bow as if Martin were also an "honorable," instead of a poor devil of a law clerk; then, noiselessly as he had entered the outer office, Dr. Ichi disappeared within Smatt's sanctum. Martin turned to his window again. But his bright day dream was fled, and he could not conjure it back again. The view was without charm. His thoughts, despite himself, persisted in centering upon the dapper little figure now closeted with his employer. The dandified Jap aroused Martin's interest. What manner of client was this Dr. Ichi? Martin had not seen a single scrap of paper, nor had Smatt dropped a single hint, concerning the case. It was mysterious! Martin was not an overly curious chap, but he was human. It was another of Smatt's secret cases, thought Martin. Another token of those hidden activities of the old vulture, which he sensed, but did not know about. For, though Martin attended to the routine work, though his duties were responsible—Smatt specialized and was prominent in maritime law—still Martin knew he did not enjoy his employer's complete confidence. Much of Smatt's time was taken up with cases Martin knew nothing about, with clients who appeared to shun the daylight of the courts. The Nippon Trading Company, for instance! Martin knew Smatt was interested in a company of that name—a strange company, that apparently conducted business without using the mails. And there was business between Ichi and Smatt—money, or Smatt would have nothing to do with it. The mystery aroused Martin's dormant curiosity. But all his speculation was pointless. Martin bethought himself of the marine affidavit lying uncompleted upon his desk. He turned from the window with the intention of applying himself to that task—and he discovered the office to have a second visitor. Another unusual figure who possessed the penchant for surreptitious entry. He observed the fellow in the very act of closing the office door.
