Pentru Sanda S?ntimbreanu a venit vremea rememor?rii, vremea c?nd amintirile caut? o alt? exprimare, respira?ia eternit??ii. A dorit s? semneze pactul cu literatura, ?i i-a reu?it, mai ales – prin repetarea unor elemente de via??, prin asem?narea caracterelor unor personaje, printr-o anume continuitate ?ntre unele povestiri, prin obsesia unor teme – cel autobiografic. Autoarea vrea prin aceste povestiri de via?? s? se ?mpace cu trecutul s?u, unul pe care nu l-a acceptat, nu l-a ?n?eles poate destul ?n momentul tr?irii. (Nicoleta Dabija)
The Seventh Man
The Seventh Man
Max Brand
¥8.98
The Seventh Man by Max Brand, tells part of the story of the larger-than-life western character, Dan Barry, known as “Whistling Dan,” and his alter-ego companions, Black Bart, the wolf-dog, and Satan, the indomitable black stallion. It’s also the story of Kate Cumberland and the incredible five-year-old daughter of Kate and Dan, Joan. We first see Dan as a gentle, caring man with a deep sense of fairness. But then, after six years of a peaceful life in their mountain cabin Dan, more feral than human, sets out to revenge an injustice by killing seven men. Ultimately, it is his devotion to his daughter and Kate’s love for the child that brings about the climax of the tale. Warning: don’t look for a typical cowboy story here – it’s far deeper and stronger than that.

Dinu are 25 de ani, o carier? ?n presa de scandal ?i nemul?umiri pe toate planurile: e convins c? iubita ?l ?n?al?, a scris o carte pe care nu reu?e?te s-o publice, iar jobul s?u, de a scoate senza?ionalul din necazurile altora, nu-i aduce nici o satisfac?ie. ?n loc s?-?i accepte cu demnitate condi?ia de t?n?r intelectual rom?n, e decis s?-?i rezolve toate problemele, ?n doar o s?pt?m?n?. ?ntr-o astfel de situa?ie, de o gravitate medie, c?teva sfaturi ra?ionale ar putea fi exact ce are nevoie. Din p?cate, persoanele din jurul s?u nu se obosesc cu a?a ceva. Luca, prietenul s?u cel mai bun ?i fost coleg de facultate, ?l ?mpinge, de fiecare dat?, spre cea mai simpl? sau imoral? solu?ie. De cealalt? parte, fratele s?u Andrei ?ncearc? s?-l transforme ?ntr-un bun cre?tin, precum ceilal?i membrii ai sectei. Obsesia fa?? de starul hip-hop Ty Julius, impus? de cerin?ele publicului de tabloid, e singurul lucru care reu?e?te s?-i mai st?rneasc? sentimente puternice. Asta p?n? c?nd o ?nt?lne?te pe Simona, care i-ar putea schimba via?a complet, ?n bine, sau ?n r?u, sau poate chiar deloc.
The Double
The Double
Fyodor Dostoyevsky
¥18.80
-THE DOUBLE- centers on a government clerk who goes mad. It deals with the internal psychological struggle of its main character, Yakov Petrovich Golyadkin, who repeatedly encounters someone who is his exact double in appearance but confident, aggressive, and extroverted, characteristics that are the polar opposites to those of the toadying "pushover" protagonist. ??The motif of the novella is a doppelganger (Russian "dvoynik"), known throughout the world in various guises such as the fetch. * * *? It was a little before eight o’clock in the morning when Yakov Petrovitch Golyadkin, a titular councillor, woke up from a long sleep. He yawned, stretched, and at last opened his eyes completely.?For two minutes, however, he lay in his bed without moving, as though he were not yet quite certain whether he were awake or still asleep, whether all that was going on around him were real and actual, or the continuation of his confused dreams. ??Very soon, however, Mr. Golyadkin’s senses began more clearly and more distinctly to receive their habitual and everyday impressions. The dirty green, smoke-begrimed, dusty walls of his little room, with the mahogany chest of drawers and chairs, the table painted red, the sofa covered with American leather of a reddish colour with little green flowers on it, and the clothes taken off in haste overnight and flung in a crumpled heap on the sofa, looked at him familiarly. At last the damp autumn day, muggy and dirty, peeped into the room through the dingy window pane with such a hostile, sour grimace that Mr. Golyadkin could not possibly doubt that he was not in the land of Nod, but in the city of Petersburg, in his own flat on the fourth storey of a huge block of buildings in Shestilavotchny Street.

The Merchant of Venice
The Merchant of Venice
William Shakespeare
¥8.82
The Merchant of Venice is a play by William Shakespeare, believed to have been written between 1596 and 1598. Although classified as a comedy in the First Folio, and while it shares certain aspects with Shakespeare's other romantic comedies, the play is perhaps more remembered for its dramatic scenes, and is best known for the character of Shylock. The title character is the merchant Antonio, not the Jewish moneylender Shylock, who is the play's most prominent and more famous villain. Though Shylock is a tormented character, he is also a tormentor, so whether he is to be viewed with disdain or sympathy is up to the audience (as influenced by the interpretation of the play's director and lead actors). As a result, The Merchant of Venice is often classified as one of Shakespeare's problem plays.

The Winter's Tale
William Shakespeare
¥9.00
The Winter's Tale is a play by William Shakespeare, first published in the First Folio in 1623. Although it was listed as a comedy when it first appeared, some modern editors have relabeled the play a romance. Some critics, among them W. W. Lawrence (Lawrence, 9-13), consider it to be one of Shakespeare's "problem plays", because the first three acts are filled with intense psychological drama, while the last two acts are comedic and supply a happy ending.
