A Ward of the Golden Gate
￥40.79
In San Francisco the rainy season had been making itself a reality to the wondering Eastern immigrant. There were short days of drifting clouds and flying sunshine, and long succeeding nights of incessant downpour, when the rain rattled on the thin shingles or drummed on the resounding zinc of pioneer roofs. The shifting sand-dunes on the outskirts were beaten motionless and sodden by the onslaught of consecutive storms; the southeast trades brought the saline breath of the outlying Pacific even to the busy haunts of Commercial and Kearney streets.
The Adolescent
￥24.44
Our protagonist Arkady is 19 years old. He is a young intellectual of Dostoevsky's era, yet Arkady's ideas of life resonate surprisingly well with modern generation of millennials and overall rejection of consumerism. Arkady's form of rebellion against society and his father manifests through the rejection of attending a university, making of money, and accumulation of wealth and power.
A Millionaire of Rough-and-Ready
￥40.79
There was no mistake this time: he had struck gold at last! It had lain there before him a moment ago—a misshapen piece of brown-stained quartz, interspersed with dull yellow metal; yielding enough to have allowed the points of his pick to penetrate its honeycombed recesses, yet heavy enough to drop from the point of his pick as he endeavored to lift it from the red earth.
L'Abbesse De Castro
￥40.79
Le mélodrame nous a montré si souvent les brigands italiens du seizième siècle, et tant de gens en ont parlé sans les conna?tre, que nous en avons maintenant les idées les plus fausses. On peut dire en général que ces brigands furent l'opposition contre les gouvernements atroces qui, en Italie, succédèrent aux républiques du moyen ?ge. Le nouveau tyran fut d'ordinaire le citoyen le plus riche de la défunte république, et, pour séduire le bas peuple, il ornait la ville d'églises magnifiques et de beaux tableaux.

The Brown Owl: "A Fairy Story"
￥18.56
ONCE upon a time, a long while ago—in fact long before Egypt had risen to power and before Rome or Greece had ever been heard of—and that was some time before you were born, you know—there was a king who reigned over a very large and powerful kingdom. Now this king was rather old, he had founded his kingdom himself, and he had reigned over it nine hundred and ninety-nine and a half years already. As I have said before, it was a very large kingdom, for it contained, among other things, the whole of the western half of the world. The rest of the world was divided into smaller kingdoms, and each kingdom was ruled over by separate princes, who, however, were none of them so old as Intafernes, as he was called.
