Russo ni se dovedeste… in aceasta opera mai renumita a lui, posesorul unui ?simt muzical?, pe care, in acelasi fel si cu aceleasi caracteristici, proza romaneasca nu-l manifestase mai inainte… Multimea conjunctiei ?si? in Cantarea Romaniei lucreaza ca un ?legatto? muzical, menit sa elimine articulatia logica si oarecum spatiala a propozitiilor si sa sublinieze continuitatea lor metodica. Nimeni mai mult ca Russo n-a folosit in proza noastra acest vechi ?si? biblic, procedeu magic si incantatoriu…“ – Tudor Vianu

Cu privire la G. Toprceanu se constat dou atitudini n sfera unei consideraii generale. Unii l preuiesc ca pe un poet mare alii ca pe un poet minor. Cea dinti opinie este greu de susinut. ns n starea poeziei de azi cnd adesea lipsete scriitorului ndreptirea nsi de a scrie expresia minor“ poate s fie ru interpretat. S spunem dar c Toprceanu e socotit ca un poet al universului mic. Dar unde se afl adevrata poezie Orict ncntare ne-ar produce Parodiile originale spiritul nostru critic ntmpin greutate s gseasc alt merit dect acela de observaie i virtuozitate n nite compuneri al cror punct de plecare este n poezia altora.

Sing a Song of Sixpence: [Illustrated]
¥9.24
A brand new sixpence fresh from the Mint! How it sparkled and glittered in the dancing sunlight! Such a treasure for a small girl to possess! But then, on the other hand, what a heavy responsibility!??All day long it had been burning a hole in her pocket, and as for learning lessons, not an idea would enter her head. Everything went in at one ear and out of the other, as Miss Primmer sternly remarked when Nellie could not say her poetry. But, indeed, Nellie did try hard to learn her lessons; she squeezed her eyes together as tightly as possible, though how shutting her eyes was to prevent the lessons from coming out of her ears was not very clear. ??"But I must learn them now," she sighed, "or Miss Primmer will keep me in tomorrow, and I shan't be able to go out with Nursie and Reggie to spend my sixpence. Oh dear! I wish I could learn my poetry and keep it in, I guess I'd better get a bit of cotton wool to put in my ears and then it can't come out. There, now!
The Little Princess of Tower Hill
¥18.56
All the other children who knew her thought Maggie a wonderfully fortunate little girl. She was sometimes spoken about as the "Little Princess of Tower Hill," for Tower Hill was the name of her father's place, and Maggie was his only child. ??The children in the village close by spoke of her with great respect, and looked at her with a good deal of longing and also no slight degree of envy, for while they had to run about in darned and shabby frocks, Maggie could wear the gayest and daintiest little dresses, and while they had to trudge sometimes even on little bare feet, Maggie could sit by her mother's side and be carried rapidly over the ground in a most delicious and luxurious carriage, or, better still, she might ride on her white pony Snowball, followed by a groom. The poor children envied Maggie, and admired her vastly, and the children of those people who, compared to Sir John Ascot, Maggie's father, might be considered neither rich nor poor, also thought her one of the most fortunate little girls in existence. Mag-gie was nearly eight years old, and from her very earliest days there had been a great fuss made about her. At the time of her birth bonfires had been lit, and oxen killed and roasted whole to be given away to the poor people, and Sir John and Lady Ascot did not seem at all disappointed at their baby being a girl instead of a son and heir to the old title and the fine old place. ??There was a most extraordinary fuss made over Maggie while she was a baby; her mother was never tired of visiting her grand nurseries and watching her as she lay asleep, or smiling at her and kissing her when she opened her big, bright blue eyes.

Borne

A FINANCIAL TIMES BOOK OF THE YEAR The dark, dangerous, funny and uplifting new novel from the author of Annihilation, the inspiration for the major motion picture directed by Alex Garland. “Am I a person?” Borne asks Rachel, in extremis. “Yes, you are a person,” Rachel tells him. “But like a person, you can be a weapon, too.” A ruined city of the future lives in fear of a despotic, gigantic flying bear, driven mad by the tortures inflicted on him by the Company, a mysterious biotech firm. A scavenger, Rachel, finds a creature entangled in his fur. She names it Borne. At first, Borne looks like nothing at all― a green lump that might be a discard from the Company. But he reminds Rachel of her homeland, an island nation long lost to rising seas, and she prevents her lover, Wick, from rendering down Borne as raw genetic material for the special kind of drugs he sells. But nothing is quite the way it seems: not the past, not the present, not the future. If Wick is hiding secrets, so is Rachel―and Borne most of all. What Rachel finds hidden deep within the Company will change everything and everyone. There, lost and forgotten things have lingered and grown. What they have grown into is mighty indeed.
