The Conquest of Canaan
￥9.00
Newton Booth Tarkington (July 29, 1869 – May 19, 1946) was an American novelist and dramatist best known for his novels The Magnificent Ambersons and Alice Adams. He is one of only three novelists to win the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction more than once, along with William Faulkner and John Updike.
The Beautiful Lady
￥9.00
"The Beautiful Lady", is another of the short novels from Booth Tarkington's early career. It was originally published in two parts, December of 1904 and January of 1905, in "Harper's Magazine", and then as Tarkington's fifth book in May of 1905. As with many of Tarkington's other works, it is a bit too predictable, though in this case that doesn't detract too much from the story. The story appears to sets up a love triangle (or in this case it may be a love square), but it does deviate from that a bit. The story is told from the point of the Italian, Ansolini from Naples, living in Paris who due to being down on his luck is forced into a most embarrassing position of acting as a billboard by shaving his head and having an advertisement for a show placed on the back of his bald head. It is while performing this job, that he nearly meets the "beautiful lady", though he keeps his head down and sees only her feet and the hem of her skirt and hears her lovely voice as it has sympathy for his plight. In fact, Ansolini's feelings are appreciative of her beautiful soul, and not that of romance.

Constat c literatura mare n-au scris-o, dup 1989, cei care ctigaser puterea, n cultur, sub eticheta biruitoare de postmodernism, ci scriitorii singuratici, indiferent de generaie, indiferent dac unora li s-au pus stigmatul de expirai. Nicolae Breban, o spun de la bun nceput, a dat una dintre marile cri ale literaturii romne moderne i transmoderne, aproape o carte-testament. (...) Singura cale este una dintre cele mai lucide cri care s-au scris vreodat, capodopera-sintez a operei lui Nicolae Breban, susinut la o tensiune narativ excepional. (...) Singura cale este unul dintre marile romane transmoderne, n varianta cinic/kynic.“ – Theodor CodreanuCred c un mare scriitor cum este Nicolae Breban ar merita mult mai mult atenie de ct a avut parte n ultimii douzeci de ani, cnd s-a ncpnat s fac ceea ce a fcut dintotdeauna, indiferent de epoca pe care a traversat-o, indiferent de situaia social pe care a avut-o: s scrie. Ca orice mare creator, Breban a avut mereu puterea de a institui prin scrisul su, n pofida evidenelor, normalitatea.“ – Bogdan Creu)Nicolae Breban, nscut n 1934, continu, de la debutul su literar din 1957 i de la publicarea primului su romn, Francisca, n 1965, s fie o prezen de vrf n literatura romn contemporan. (...) Autorul attor volume a probat, de asemenea, un singular curaj civic, atunci cnd, la nici doi ani de la alegerea sa, exclusiv pentru merite culturale, ca membru supleant al Comitetului Central al Partidului Comunist Romn (august 1969), a dezavuat, la Paris, n mod public, regimul Ceauescu, pentru tezele culturale dogmatice din iulie 1971. Cu acel prilej, i-a dat i demisia din funcia de redactor-ef al principalei reviste literare autohtone, Romnia literar. El a refuzat, totui, exilul i s-a ntors n Romnia, suportnd cu demnitate urmrile gesturilor sale de nesupunere n numele unei contiine scriitoriceti libere...“ – Ion IanoiN. Breban este mai ales unul dintre marii romancieri ai literaturii romne dintotdeauna, cel mai important dintre romancierii notri actuali, sincron, prin formele i substana ficiunii, celei mai semnificative literaturi contemporane universale.“ – Marian Victor Buciu

Prix Médicis ?tranger, Fran?a, 2010Premi Llibreter, Spania, 2011California Book Award, 2008Grace Paley Price, 2007Dac? ideea de ?eliberare prin scris“ are ?n ea o s?m?n?? de adev?r, povestirile cvasiautobiografice din acest volum reprezint? cea mai bun? exemplificare. Obsedat de imaginea unui tat? ciudat, greu de ?n?eles, care pare s? nu-?i fi g?sit nic?ieri locul potrivit, David Vann ?ncearc? s? ?i traseze traiectoria de via??, pentru a-l ?n?elege mai bine ?i pentru a reu?i s? se ?mpace cu el. ??i rememoreaz? mai ?nt?i copil?ria, momentele dureroase sau senine petrecute al?turi de tat?l s?u ori cu g?ndul la el. ??i imagineaz? apoi o c?l?torie cu el ?n Alaska, unde se retrag am?ndoi ?ntr-o regiune nelocuit?, ?n mijlocul naturii s?lbatice, ?ncerc?nd parc? s? transforme ?n realitate atrac?ia dintotdeauna a tat?lui fa?? de ?spiritul de frontier?“, nostalgia unei austerit??i care ar fi putut s? compenseze via?a tr?it? p?n? atunci ?n dezordine, egoism ?i ?n?el?ciune.

El ano 2012 contempla El Crimen de la Casa Deshabitada donde el antiguo hogar de Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Undershaw, se encuentra en mal estado y bajo la amenaza de ser destruido para siempre. Encargado construir por el mismisimo Sir Arthur Conan Doyle en persona, Undershaw fue testigo de la creacion de muchas de sus obras mas famosas, incluyendo El Sabueso de los Baskerville y El Regreso de Sherlock Holmes. Es un edificio que merece ser preservado para siempre para la nacion britanica, y por supuesto, el resto del mundo. Lamentablemente, el edificio se encuentra bajo la amenaza de promotores inmobiliarios que quieren dividir la casa en tres unidades separadas y construir otras cinco a su lado. El permiso de obras ya ha sido aprobado por el Consejo del Municipio de Waverley (Waverley Borough Council). La Fundacion para la Preservacion de Undershaw (en ingles, Undershaw Preservation Trust [UPT]), con Mark Gatiss [Sherlock de la BBC] como presidente de honor, esta dedicada a la preservacion y proteccion de este importante edificio literario y esta haciendo campana para conseguir que se revoque esta decision, de manera que la casa pueda ser restaurada a su gloria original y disfrutada como la vivienda individual que Sir Arthur Conan Doyle pretendio que fuese. Este libro es una coleccion de cuentos cortos y poemas acerca de Sherlock Holmes, escritos por fans de todo el mundo para apoyar la campana Save Undershaw (Salvar Undershaw); incluso la portada ha sido disenada por fans. Los beneficios del libro seran destinados a la UPT para preservar esta maravillosa casa para las generaciones futuras de Doyleanos, entusiastas de Sherlock Holmes y todo tipo de fans de la literatura.

Sherlock Holmes and the Mystery Writer
￥58.76
Gravesend 1920. A famous mystery writer, while searching through the remains of a damaged church looking for story ideas, happens upon a document that was never meant to be found or read. Any knowledge of its contents could change the terms of the treaty that ended the First World War. There is also a change in the hand that writes and records the cases of Sherlock Holmes.
Uncle Tom's Cabin
￥19.52
The famous anti-slavery novel that went a long way to challenge the status quo of pre-Civil War America. The best selling novel of the 19th century, its legacy today is divided, being both a famous "e;vital antislavery tool"e;, but also helping to establish many black stereotypes. DISCLAIMER: This book was written in 1852 and is thus a product of its time. As such much of the language and stereotypes may be shocking or insulting to a modern audience.
Disappearance of Mr James Phillimore
￥48.95
When popular mystery writer Sebastian McCabe agreed to take part in a literary debate in London, he had no clue that he would wind up as both investigator and suspect in the strangest case of his amateur sleuthing career.Arthur James Phillimore, investment guru to the stars and member of an elite Sherlock Holmes society, steps back into his home to fetch an umbrella one rainy day and is never seen alive again. The mystery is eerily evocative of one of Dr. Watson's most famous untold tales, the disappearance of Mr. James Phillimore. But this Phillimore soon reappears - dead.Jeff Cody and Lynda Teal, also in London on the second leg of their honeymoon, get swept up in the bizarre case as well. From the home gym of a gorgeous movie star (the second Mrs. Phillimore) to the flying office an airline entrepreneur, they help McCabe chase down clues all over London. For the journalist Lynda, it's a big story. For Jeff, it's a big distraction from the joys of married life. Dogging them along the way is the shadow of Sherlock Holmes, the one subject that several of the characters have in common. The great detective is also a figure for whom Lynda - to Jeff's dismay and consternation - evinces a growing fascination. Humor, romance, and mystery once again combine in an engaging McCabe-Cody adventure sure to delight the growing fan base of this series.
Making Of A Man
￥73.48
This extraordinary story unfolds in the dim streets of Victorian London's notorious East End. Poverty, squalor and crime fester and proliferate, blighting the lives of all who are unfortunate enough to dwell there. Yet from within the gloom, a random illumination- a beam of light. The light of human dignity; just sometimes, righteousness, decency and justice win out. In this dramatic play-out of the everlasting human conflict of good versus evil, various giants of their time, immortal beings, come into conflict. They form unlikely alliances, each presenting a differing prism of perception, different viewpoints of what is right and what is wrong; ultimately, what is Good and what is Evil.
