Poems by Emily Dickinson, Volume 2
Poems by Emily Dickinson, Volume 2
Emily Dickinson
¥40.79
The eagerness with which the first volume of Emily Dickinson’s poems has been read shows very clearly that all our alleged modern artificiality does not prevent a prompt appreciation of the qualities of directness and simplicity in approaching the greatest themes,—life and love and death. That 'irresistible needle-touch,' as one of her best critics has called it, piercing at once the very core of a thought, has found a response as wide and sympathetic as it has been unexpected even to those who knew best her compelling power. This second volume, while open to the same criticism as to form with its predecessor, shows also the same shining beauties.

Lilian, in dark blue office frock with an embroidered red line round the neck and detachable black wristlets that preserved the ends of the sleeves from dust and friction, sat idle at her flat desk in what was called the small room at Felix Grig's establishment in Clifford Street, off Bond Street. There were three desks, three typewriting machines and three green-shaded lamps. Only Lilian's lamp was lighted, and she sat alone, with darkness above her chestnut hair and about her, and a circle of radiance below. She was twenty-three.

Virgin Soil
Virgin Soil
Ivan Turgenev
¥8.82
VIRGIN SOIL by Ivan Sergeyevich Turgenev (1818-1883) is his last and longest novel. In it he finally says everything yet unsaid on the subject of social change, idealism and yet futility of revolutions, serfs and peasants, and the upper classes. The hero, Nezhdanov -- the disillusioned young son of a nobleman -- and the Populist movement are young idealists working to bridge the gap between the common people and the nobility, and through them Turgenev works out his own troubled thoughts about social reform and tradition, vitality and stagnation. The ideas of gradual reform shown here are eventually to be supplanted by the extremism of the Russian Revolution -- but that is yet to come.

Doisprezece concureni sunt trimii n pdure pentru a fi supui unor provocri extrem de dure. n rstimp, lumea e devastat de o catastrof, despre care, izolai de societate, concurenii nu tiu nimic. Cnd d ntmpltor peste anumite indicii, tnra Zoo, una dintre participante, i imagineaz c totul face parte din joc. Singur i dezorientat, ea refuz totui s se dea btut. Ptrunznd tot mai adnc ntr-un teritoriu necunoscut, Zoo i testeaz toate abilitile de supravieuire. Dar, pe msur ce puterile i scad, ea ncepe s neleag c lumea real s-a schimbat n mod neateptat i c viaa ei depinde acum de capacitatea de a dezlega aceast enigm.

The Lost World
The Lost World
Arthur Conan Doyle
¥8.82
The Lost World is a novel released in 1912 by Arthur Conan Doyle concerning an expedition to a plateau in South America where prehistoric animals (dinosaurs and other extinct creatures) still survive. The character of Professor Challenger was introduced in this book. Interestingly, for a seminal work of dinosaur-related fiction, the animals only occupy a small portion of the narrative. Much more time is devoted to a war between early human hominids and a vicious tribe of ape-like creatures.

De peste 160 de ani, impozanta Cavendon Hall este re?edin?a a dou? familii ale c?ror destine s-au ?ntrep?truns inexorabil: aristocra?ii Ingham ?i slujitorii lor loiali, membrii familiei Swann Charles Ingham, al ?aselea conte de Mowbray, locuie?te aici cu so?ia lui Felicity ?i cu cei ?ase copii. Lady Daphne, cea mai frumoas? dintre cele patru fiice ale contelui, se preg?te?te s?-?i fac? debutul ?n ?nalta societate, iar acest eveniment capteaz? aten?ia ?ntregii familii. ?ns? cineva ?i-a pus ?n g?nd s? distrug? totul ? ?i a ales cel mai crud mod cu putin??.
