￥8.09
Classic collection of stories, first published early in the 20th century. According to Wikipedia: "Gilbert Keith Chesterton, KC*SG (29 May 1874 – 14 June 1936) was an English writer.

Chesterton has been called the "prince of paradox". Time magazine, in a review of a biography of Chesterton, observed of his writing style: "Whenever possible Chesterton made his points with popular sayings, proverbs, allegories—first carefully turning them inside out." For example, Chesterton wrote "Thieves respect property. They merely wish the property to become their property that they may more perfectly respect it.

Tragedie ?n trei acte
￥33.03
Sfâr?it de veac are un ritm bine marcat de scene în care conflictul e psihologic. Sunt scene de lupt?, de duplicitate ?i de strategie, conduse cu mân? sigur?, în care personajele î?i confrunt? interesele, dar ?i fi rea ascuns?. Maestrul de ceremonii este, fire?te, Urmatecu, plin de vitalitate, neobosit, viclean, calculat, altruist ?i crud totodat?, pe care doar lucrurile neclare, ciud??eniile, capriciile femeilor, nebunia ?i moartea îl tulbur?, sco?ându-l din apele în care se scald? de obicei. Chefurile uria?e pe care le trage dup? înmormânt?ri vin din nevoia de a se reechilibra psihic. Dac? boierul Barbu e un Tuzluc, iar Jurubi?a, o Kera Duduca, Urmatecu e un Dinu P?turic? infinit mai complicat ?i mai subtil, realizat la alte dimensiuni fizice ?i morale. Nu exist?, cum exist? de obicei în romanul de acest tip, personaje pozitive ori negative. Nici aplecarea spre caricatur? de la romancierii postbelici. Am putea spune chiar c? pân? ?i cei mai netrebnici sunt privi?i cu anume compasiune. Un element important este acela biografic, care atenueaz? eventualul spirit critic.

Corporate paradoxes

"---this fantasy of a night-black, dead planet, with the remains of the human race concentrated in a stupendously vast metal pyramid & besieged by monstrous, hybrid & altogether unknown forces of darkness, is something that no reader can ever forger" (H. P. Lovecraft)."One of the most potent pieces of macabre imagination ever written" -?H.P.Lovecraft. Lovecraft wasn't wrong: this is, perhaps, the greatest single work of fantastic fiction in the English language. The sun has died, as have the stars. Not a solitary light shines in the heavens. The days of light are nothing by a legend?-?they are a story told to soothe children. The last millions of humans still live in their Last Redoubt -?but the end of their days is at hand.

On the Frontier

Collection of western stories, including: At the Mission of San Carmel, A Blue Grass Penelope, and Left Out on Lone Star Mountain. According to Wikipedia: "Bret Harte (August 25, 1836[2] – May 6, 1902) was an American author and poet, best remembered for his accounts of pioneering life in California. He was born in Albany, New York. ... He moved to California in 1853, later working there in a number of capacities, including miner, teacher, messenger, and journalist. He spent part of his life in the northern California coast town now known as Arcata, then just a mining camp on Humboldt Bay. His first literary efforts, including poetry and prose, appeared in The Californian, an early literary journal edited by Charles Henry Webb. In 1868 he became editor of The Overland Monthly, another new literary magazine, but this one more in tune with the pioneering spirit of excitement in California. His story, "The Luck of Roaring Camp," appeared in the magazine's second edition, propelling Harte to nationwide fame... Determined to pursue his literary career, in 1871 he and his family traveled back East, to New York and eventually to Boston, where he contracted with the publisher of The Atlantic Monthly for an annual salary of $10,000, "an unprecedented sum at the time." His popularity waned, however, and by the end of 1872 he was without a publishing contract and increasingly desperate. He spent the next few years struggling to publish new work (or republish old), delivering lectures about the gold rush, and even selling an advertising jingle to a soap company. In 1878 Harte was appointed to the position of United States Consul in the town of Krefeld, Germany and then to Glasgow in 1880. In 1885 he settled in London. During the thirty years he spent in Europe, he never abandoned writing, and maintained a prodigious output of stories that retained the freshness of his earlier work. He died in England in 1902 of throat cancer and is buried at Frimley."
