Istorii despre literatur? ?i orbire (Borges, Jo?o Cabral ?i Joyce)
¥32.62
Va putea frumuse?ea s? salveze lumea? este ?ntrebarea ?n jurul c?reia Monique Proulx construie?te pove?tile personajelor sale. ?inutul s?lbatic al Canadei nu va fi doar fundalul ?n care se mi?c? protagoni?tii, ci le va fi refugiul ?i martorul confrunt?rilor furtunoase. Lila Szach este ecoul unui timp trecut ?i simbolul posesiunii. Simon este ?ntruchiparea entuziasmului incurabil, iar Claire p?streaz? echilibrul fragil ?ntre idealism ?i scepticism. Cu aceea?i precizie, Monique Proulx surprinde statornicia naturii ?i instabilitatea emo?iilor umane, trec?nd cu u?urin?? de la triste?e la umor. Champagne ?n titlul s?u original, duc?nd cu g?ndul la vechea form? a fran?uzescului ?campagne“, romanul este un tribut adus naturii, dar ?i un tablou ?n mi?care al rela?iilor dintre oameni.

The Merchant of Venice
¥8.82
The Merchant of Venice is a play by William Shakespeare, believed to have been written between 1596 and 1598. Although classified as a comedy in the First Folio, and while it shares certain aspects with Shakespeare's other romantic comedies, the play is perhaps more remembered for its dramatic scenes, and is best known for the character of Shylock. The title character is the merchant Antonio, not the Jewish moneylender Shylock, who is the play's most prominent and more famous villain. Though Shylock is a tormented character, he is also a tormentor, so whether he is to be viewed with disdain or sympathy is up to the audience (as influenced by the interpretation of the play's director and lead actors). As a result, The Merchant of Venice is often classified as one of Shakespeare's problem plays.

The Taming of the Shrew is a comedy by William Shakespeare. It was one of his earlier plays, believed to have been written between 1590 and 1594. The play begins with a framing device in which a drunkard is deceived into thinking he is a nobleman who then watches the "play" itself, which depicts a nobleman, Petruchio, who marries an outspoken, intelligent, and bad-tempered shrew named Katherina. Petruchio manipulates and "tames" her until she is obedient to his will. The main subplot features the courting of Katherina's more conventional sister Bianca by numerous suitors.

Bartleby

Ein ?lterer Rechtsanwalt berichtet als Icherz?hler von einem seiner Schreiber namens Bartleby, den er eines Tages in sein von Hochh?usern umstelltes lichtloses Büro in der Wall Street aufnimmt. Bartleby beginnt seine T?tigkeit mit stillem Flei? und einsiedlerischer Ausdauer. Er kopiert unermüdlich Vertr?ge, lehnt aber zur ?berraschung seines Dienstherrn schon bald jede andere T?tigkeit mit den Worten ab: ?Ich m?chte lieber nicht“, ?I would prefer not to“. Bald weigert er sich sogar, Vertr?ge zu kopieren, wohnt aber inzwischen in dem Büro - h?flich, freudlos, ohne Freunde und fast ohne zu essen. Der Rechtsanwalt kann oder will ihn nicht gewaltsam aus dem Büro entfernen lassen und auch eine gro?zügige Abfindung interessiert Bartleby nicht. Wegen eines unerkl?rlichen Einverst?ndnisses mit Bartleby sieht sich der Rechtsanwalt am Ende gezwungen, selbst aus dem Büro auszuziehen, statt Bartleby vor die Tür zu setzen. Seine Nachmieter - weniger verst?ndnisvoll - lassen Bartleby bald durch die Polizei abführen und in das Gef?ngnis The Tombs (die Gr?ber) bringen. Dort verweigert Bartleby sowohl alle Kommunikation und auch alle Nahrung. Der Rechtsanwalt versucht, sich um seinen ?Freund“ zu kümmern, aber nach wenigen Tagen stirbt Bartleby an seiner Lebensverweigerung.
