The Master of the World
￥8.09
Science fiction novel first published in 1904. Sequel to Robur the Conqueror. According to Wikipedia: "Jules Gabriel Verne (February 8, 1828 – March 24, 1905) was a French author who pioneered the science-fiction genre. He is best known for his novels Journey to the Center of the Earth (written in 1864), From the Earth to the Moon (1865), Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea (1869–1870), and Around the World in Eighty Days (1873). Verne wrote about space, air, and underwater travel before navigable aircraft and practical submarines were invented, and before any means of space travel had been devised. Consequently he is often referred to as the "Father of science fiction", along with H. G. Wells. Verne is the second most translated author of all time, only behind Agatha Christie with 4162 translations, according to Index Translationum. Some of his work has been made into films."

The Bell-Ringer of Angel's, a collection of stories
￥8.09
Collection of stories. 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."

Renumiții autori ruși Turgheniev și Gogol au descris cu măiastra lor pană vastele stepe ale patriei lor Turgheniev în Memoriile unui vânător și Gogol în Taras Bulba.

Ultimele lucr??ri dramatice ale poetului aduc un progres de ad?ncime nea?teptat. Pe l?ng?? maturitatea tehnic?? apare facultatea crea?iei de oameni. Desigur c?? Despot-Vod?? se nutre?te din teatrul lui Victor Hugo cu toate acestea drama lui Alecsandri e original?? ?i dac?? e vorba de vreo ?nr?urire ea e din parte mai degrab?? a piesei lui Hasdeu R??zvan ?i Vidra pe care Alecsandri o numea ?n deriziune ?dramul“ de?i aceea deschidea seria dramelor istorice rom?ne. Marele patos be?ia liric?? ?i retoric?? din teatrul lui Hugo n-au trecut la Alecsandri ?nlocuite prin dizerta?ii poetice de ton minor cu prea mult?? frunz?? de cuvinte ?i prea pu?ine mari imagini. ?n schimb viziunea lumii e mai pozitiv??. Se contureaz?? de la ?nceput conflictul fundamental ?i tradi?ional din teatrul istoric rom?nesc care este nu ?ntre indivizi ci ?ntre ambi?ia voievodului pe de o parte ?i rezisten?a obiceiurilor ?i a corpurilor constituite pe de alta...

Fic?iunea a fost blând? cu mine: mi-a ar?tat cum traversau ora?ele crupe de dame, pe când boschetarii dormeau, mi-a ar?tat cum un om poate s? fie luat din genunchi ?i a?ezat într-un pat de femeie, a?ezat acolo ca un semn de întrebare. ?i tot ea mi-a ar?tat ce r?mâne când secunda se termin? ?i cum se poate racorda timpul la ritmul b?t?ilor inimii unei necunoscute dup? o criz? de astm, ?i cum s? supravie?uiesc tr?ind singur ca un Dumnezeu bolnav, ?i cum se pot ridica scriitorii, ca ni?te duhuri, din ma?inile lor de scris – în vremea vi?eilor de aur.

Mi s-a cerut o biografie, dar dac? citi?i cartea ve?i avea parte de una. Mai bine v? spun pe scurt povestea c?r?ii, care n-a fost carte de la început. Au fost zilele ?i nop?ile mele, a?a cum le-am tr?it eu ?i-ai mei. Printre sârme ?i portocali. A fost o perioad? în care a? fi vrut s? uit unele întâmpl?ri, apoi am în?eles c? nu le voi putea ?terge din amintire ?i c? de fapt nici nu vreau. Le-am povestit, la început cu îndoiala c? cineva ar în?elege impactul pe care le-au avut pentru noi, apoi cu mirarea c? pe cineva intereseaz? aceast? poveste. M-au uimit reac?iile, am început s? scormonesc în memorie ?i m-am trezit scriind ceva despre care n-am crezut c? va fi o carte. Va fi, totu?i, va avea coper?i frumoase ?i câteva file din care, dac? le ve?i citi, ve?i ?ti c? sârmele aveau ghimpi, iar portocalii erau plini de culoare ?i parfum.
