Old Mortality
￥40.79
The remarkable person, called by the title of Old Mortality, was we’ll known in Scotland about the end of the last century. His real name was Robert Paterson. He was a native, it is said, of the parish of Closeburn, in Dumfries-shire, and probably a mason by profession—at least educated to the use of the chisel. Whether family dissensions, or the deep and enthusiastic feeling of supposed duty, drove him to leave his dwelling, and adopt the singular mode of life in which he wandered, like a palmer, through Scotland, is not known. It could not be poverty, however, which prompted his journeys, for he never accepted anything beyond the hospitality which was willingly rendered him, and when that was not proffered, he always had money enough to provide for his own humble wants. His personal appearance, and favourite, or rather sole occupation, are accurately described in the preliminary chapter of the following work.

Portretul lui Dorian Gray

Kafka se pricepe s dezvluie pretutindeni lumina tinuit. Ai impresia c descoperi o mare nsorit, cu valuri ce sunt niri de lumin i n faa creia trebuie s nchizi, orbit, ochii, pentru a te adposti la umbr.“ (Max Brod) Kafka este cel mai mare scriitor de limb german al timpului nostru. Poei precum Rilke, romancieri precum Mann par fies pleasc n comparaie cu el, fie s radieze o lumin puternic, dar artificial.“ (Vladimir Nabokov) Poate cel mai interesant scriitor al generaiei sale... Un geniu straniu i deconcertant.“ (Edwin Muir) Cu ct opera e mai desvrit, cu att mai puin ne trimite ea spre autorul ei. [...] Franz Kafka este scriitorul care i-a consumat experiena de via n asemenea msur, nct referirea la biografie devine superflu.“ (Martin Walser)
La Reine du Sabbat
￥8.82
L’action se passe dans un pays que l’auteur nomme Austrasie par pure convenance, car sa capitale est Vienne, on y parle allemand et la famille impériale est décimée par des deuils, dont une double mort à Mayerling. C’est dire que l’on est en Autriche et que l’auteur donne sa version très personnelle des drames qu’a réellement connus la dynastie des Habsbourg. Le livre a été écrit en 1911, alors que l’empereur Fran?ois-Joseph (Fran?ois tout court dans le texte) régnait encore et que ces deuils étaient tout récents, ce qui expliquerait la très relative pudeur de l’auteur. Il n’est pas possible de résumer ce roman sans en donner les clés et par là en g?cher irrémédiablement la lecture. Disons que c’est une histoire de vengeance et de mort, une histoire terriblement sanglante. L’assassinat qui constitue le prologue du livre n’est qu’un aspect, presque secondaire, de l’intrigue. Mais si le feuilleton ne compte plus les invraisemblances, si l’auteur a recours à tous les artifices les plus classiques du genre : sosies, portes secrètes, déguisements, talents extraordinaires des héros, il faut reconna?tre que l’histoire est remarquablement construite, se développe de fa?on à soutenir constamment l’intérêt du lecteur et que les épisodes s’embo?tent parfaitement les uns à la suite des autres.
