Roman Tursko ogledalo vodi nas na uzbudljivo putovanje u daleki XVI vek, kada je Ma?arska tek postala vazalna dr?ava turskog sultana Sulejmana Veli?anstvenog, nestabilna grani?na oblast izme?u dva velika carstva, ?ivopisna me?avina kalendara, poreskih sistema, jezika, knjiga i svetih spisa, mesto gde ?emo sresti mo?ne sultane, ma?arsko plemstvo i otomanske begove, trgovce, gradske bogata?e, seoske slu?benike – a ponekad ?ak i an?ele, d?ine i neverovatne lete?e ma?ine. Radnja se de?ava od Istanbula, preko Jedrena, Ni?a, Beograda i Petrovaradina, pa sve do Pe?uja, i sva ta mesta vi?e li?e na ona iz 1001 no?i gde kamile ?etaju gradskim ulicama, kajsije i urme obilato?krase drve?e, lopovi tumaraju ?umama, dok polako ni?u prve d?amije i turska kupatila. I zaista, ?arm Turskog ogledala le?i u neobuzdanom nagonu da se ispri?a pri?a, a njegova originalnost u prikazu Ma?arske kroz?vizuru otomanskih Turaka, zbog ?ega ?e sve do sada poznato ?itaocu?odjednom postati novo, strano i zanimljivo. Prevod s ma?arskog: Marija Cindori ?inkovi?

Odysseia'n?n MO 800 ila 600 y?llar? aras?nda yaz?ld??? dü?ünülmektedir. Manzum eser ?lyada'n?n devam? niteli?indedir ve Yunan kahraman Odysseus'un Truva'n?n dü?ü?ünden sonra vatan? ?thaka'ya yapt??? maceralarla dolu uzun yolculu?u anlat?r. 10 y?l süren sava?tan sonra Odysseus'un ?thaka'ya d?nmesi 10 y?l?n? al?r, ve bu 20 y?ll?k uzakl???nda o?lu Telema?hus ve kar?s? Penelope ülkeyi y?netmek ve Penelope ile evlenerek (Odysseus'un oldu?u iddia edilmektedir) ?thaka'n?n hükümdar? olmak isteyen bir grup soylu ile mücadele etmek zorundad?rlar. ?iir Bat? edebiyat?n?n ve kültürünün temel eserlerinden say?l?r, ve antik Yunan kültürüne ???k tutan en ?nemli kaynaklardan biridir. Odysseia, Truva'n?n dü?mesinden 10 y?l sonra Odysseus'un ?thaca'ya evine d?nünceye kadar maceralar?n? anlat?r. ?lyada 10 y?l süren Truva Sava??, Odysseia, 10 y?l boyunca Odysseus'un ba??ndan ge?enlerden ibarettir. ?lyada, bir olay?, Odysseia ise bir ki?inin destan?n? anlat?r. Truva Destan?nda olaylar birbirini izleyecek ?ekilde anlat?l?r. Halbuki, Odysseia'da olaylar an?lar, geriye d?nü?ler, atlamalarla canland?r?l?r. Bat? dillerindeki Ulysses'nin türedi?i Latince Ulyxes, yi?idin bir Yunan leh?esinden al?nm?? ad?d?r. Odysseus (Ulysses, Ulis), kuzeybat? Yunanistan k?y?lar?n?n kar??s?nda bulunan ?thaca (?thaka, ?thake) adas?nda do?du. Babas?n?n ad? Learthes, anas?n?n ad? Antikleia idi. Yalan dolanda usta Autolykos'un k?z? olan Antikleia'n?n Learthes ile evlenmeden ?nce S?syphos ile yatt???, Odysseus'un bu birle?meden do?du?u da s?ylenir. Odysseus'un gen?li?i, Akhilleus'unki gibi hekim Kheiron'un yan?nda ge?ti. Birgün Odysseus, dedesi Autolykos'a konuk olarak gitti. Orada bir yaban domuzu av?na kat?ld? ve baca??ndan yaraland?. ??te, Truva Sava?? sona erdikten sonra, bir 10 y?l daha türlü maceralar ge?irerek ?thake'ye d?ndü?ünde, dad??? Eurykleia taraf?ndan ya?l? Odysseus'un tan?nmas?n? sa?layacak yara izi, bu yara izidir. Truva Sava??na kat?lmadan ?nce Odysseus, ?thake taht?na ??kt? ve kral oldu. Babas? Learthes'in o?lunu tahta nas?l ge?irdi?i pek anlat?lmaz. Ama kral olunca bir e? se?mesi olayl? oldu. Hemen dünyan?n en güzel k?z? Helena'ya talip oldu ama güzel k?z?n taliplilerinin ?oklu?undan ürkerek ondan vazge?ip, Helena'n?n babas?n?n karde?i ?karios'un k?z? Penelope'u (Penelopeia) istedi. Tyndereos'un ise akl? karmakar???k oldu?undan Odysseus'un bu yakla??m?n? ?nce be?enmedi. Odysseus ise Penelope'u almak i?in ?art?n? s?yledi. Tyndereos'u dü?tü?ü durumdan kurtaracak, buldu?u ??zümle kimse aras?nda kavga olmayacakt?. Bu arada Tyndereos'un k?z?n? türlü prensler, krallar ve sava???lar istiyorlar, türlü hediyeler g?nderiyorlard?. Tyndereos da onlar?n kalplerini k?r?p bir felakete yol a?mamaya ?al???yordu. Sonunda Tyndereos, Penelope'u vermeye raz? olunca Odysseus fikrini s?yledi: Kocas?n? Helena kendisi se?sin ama her kimi se?erse di?er tüm talipliler bunu sorun etmeyecek ve Helena'n?n kendine se?ece?i kocaya her zaman arka ??kmaya ant i?ecekti. Tyndareos, fikri be?endi ve i? k?z?n se?imine b?rak?ld?. ?karios ?nce herkesi yemin etmeye ?a??rd?. Herkes yemin etti, Odysseus dahil. Dünyan?n en güzel k?z? Helena, kocas? olarak Agamemnon'un karde?i Menelaos'u se?ti. Herkes karara sayg? duydu ve kabul etti. Herkes?e edilen bu yemin, ileride on y?l sürecek olan "Truva Sava??"na yol a?acakt?.

Eski Yunan’da, ?air Homeros’un yazd??? varsay?lan büyük bir destand?r. Bir ba?ka Homeros destan? olan ?deysseia ile birlikte, bat? edebiyat?n?n en eski ?rne?i ve tüm zamanlar?n en güzel ?iirlerinden say?l?r. Hem ?lyada hem de Oysseisa, Truva Sava?? ve bu sava?ta yer alan insanlarla ilgili s?ylenceleri dile getiren, ko?ukla yaz?lm?? destanlard?r. Tarih?iler Yunanistan’tandaki Akhalar ile Bat? Anadolu’da ya?am?? olan Truval?lar aras?ndaki bu sava??n yakla??k I.O. 1199’da ge?ti?i g?rü?ündedir. Akhalar’?n Truva’y? ku?atmalar?n?n ise 10 y?l sürdü?ü san?lmaktad?r. Bu konuda o kadar ?ok ?ykü ve s?ylence vard?r ki, hangisinin ger?ek hangisinin uydurma oldu?unu bilme olana?? yoktur. Yunanca’da Truva’n?n bir ad?n?n da ?lios olmas?ndan dolay? Homeros’un destan? ?lyada ad?n? ald?. Homeros, ya?ad??? d?nemde herkesin bu ?yküyü bildi?ini dü?ünerek, Truva ku?atmas?n? ba?tan sona anlatmaz; sava??n 10. y?l?nda sadece d?rt gün i?inde ge?en olaylar? anlat?r. Sava? neredeyse bitmek üzeredir. Truva efsanesinin bu b?lümü "As?l’?n ?fkesi" olarak bilinir. ?lyada’n?n ?yküsü: Kral Agamemnon, Truva Sava?? s?ras?nda Akhalar’?n ba?komutan?yd?. Kral?n en yi?it ve bas?na buyruk sava???s? olan As?l, kimseye boyun e?meden, kendi bildi?ince hareket ediyordu. As?l’?n sava?ta ka??rd??? Briseis ad?nda Truvali bir k?z yüzünden As?l ile Agamemnon aras?nda anla?mazl?k ??kt?. Tutsa?? olan bir k?z? babas?na geri vermeye raz? olan Agamemnon, onun yerine As?l’?n sevdi?i Briseis’i istiyordu. Agamemnon’a boyun e?mek zorunda kalan As?l, k?z? ona verdi. Ne var ki, h?rs?n? alamayarak sava?tan ?ekildi. Agamemnon’u cezaland?rmas? i?in, deniz tanr??as? olan annesi Theti?’i ?a??rd?. Theti?, tanr?lar?n kral? Zeus’tan yard?m istedi. B?ylece ?ok ge?meden yaln?zca As?l ve Agamemnon de?il, tanr? ve tanr??alarda kavgaya kar??t?. Tanr?lar?n ise kar??mas? Yunan askerlerini tela?land?rd?. Agamemnon, g?rdü?ü bir dü?e aldanarak, ordusuna art?k Yunanistan’a d?nülece?ini bildirdi. Askerlerin Truva’y? ele ge?irmeden d?nmek istemeyeceklerini sanarken, onlar?n gitmeye can att?klar?n? g?rmek onu dü? k?r?kl???na u?ratt?. Yunanl? komutanlar orduyu yeniden sava? düzenine sokmakta gü?lük ?ektiler. Bütün bu olaylar Yunan ordusunun sava? gücünü ve birli?ini zay?flatm??t?. ?ki ordu aras?nda sava? yeniden ba?larken, Paris’in karde?i Hektor, sava??n nedeni Paris’in Sparta Kral? Menelaos’un kar?s? Helen ‘i ka??rmas? oldu?una g?re, anla?mazl???n Paris ile Menelaos aras?nda d?vü?le ??zümlenmesini ?nerdi. Bu d?vü?te tam Paris yenilecekken, annesi olan tanr??a Afrodit onu son anda ka??rarak kurtard?. B?ylece ordular aras?nda bir kez daha sava? ba?lad?.

Anna Karenina (in russo: Aнна Каренина) è un romanzo di Lev Tolstoj che fu pubblicato per la prima volta nel 1877. Considerato un capolavoro del realismo, l'autore trasse ispirazione da "I racconti di Belkin" dello scrittore e poeta russo Aleksandr Sergeevi? Pu?kin. Sebbene la maggior parte della critica russa stroncasse il romanzo fin dalla prima pubblicazione, definendolo ?un romanzo frivolo dell'alta società?, secondo lo scrittore russo F?dor Michajlovi? Dostoevskij ?Anna Karenina in quanto opera d'arte è la perfezione... e niente della letteratura europea della nostra epoca può esserle paragonato?. La sua opinione fu condivisa da Vladimir Vladimirovi? Nabokov, che lo definì ?il capolavoro assoluto della letteratura del XIX secolo?.

Nuova edizione illustrata con i disegni originali di Alec Ball, Frederic Dorr Steele, Knott e T. V. McCarthy. "La scomparsa di Lady Frances Carfax" è uno dei 56 racconti di Sherlock Holmes scritto dall'autore britannico Arthur Conan Doyle, inizialmente pubblicato nelle riviste American Magazine e The Strand Magazine e in seguito parte di una raccolta di otto racconti pubblicata come libro con il titolo di ""Il suo ultimo saluto: alcune reminiscenze di Sherlock Holmes"", in alcune edizioni intitolato ""L'ultimo saluto di Sherlock Holmes"". ? uno dei pochi racconti in cui per gran parte della trama Watson deve agire da solo e cerca di fare del suo meglio con Holmes posto in secondo piano. Sir Arthur Ignatius Conan Doyle (Edimburgo, 22 maggio 1859 – Crowborough, 7 luglio 1930) è stato uno scrittore scozzese, considerato, insieme ad Edgar Allan Poe, il fondatore di due generi letterari: il giallo e il fantastico. In particolare è il capostipite del sottogenere noto come giallo deduttivo, reso famoso dal personaggio dell'investigatore Sherlock Holmes. La produzione dello scrittore tuttavia spazia dal romanzo d'avventura alla fantascienza, dal soprannaturale ai temi storici.

LET us now go to Switzerland, and see its wonderful mountains, whose steep, rocky sides are covered with trees. We will climb up to the fields of snow, and then make our way down to the grassy valleys, with their countless streams and rivulets, impetuously rushing to lose themselves in the sea. The sunshine is hot in the narrow valley; the snow becomes firm and solid, and in the course of time it either descends as an avalanche, or creeps along as a glacier. ??THERE are two of these glaciers in the valleys below the Schreckhorn and the Wetterhorn, near the long village of Grindelwald. They are a remarka-ble sight, and therefore many travelers from all countries come in the summer to visit them: they come over the high mountains covered with snow, they traverse the deep valleys; and to do this they must climb, hour after hour, leaving the valley far beneath them, till they see it as if they were in an air-balloon. ??The clouds hang above them like thick mists over the mountains, and the sun's rays make their way through the openings between the clouds to where the brown houses lie spread, lighting up some chance spot with a vivid green. Below, the stream foams and blusters; but above it murmurs and ripples, and looks like a band of silver hanging down the side of the rock.??On either side of the path up the mountain lie wooden houses. Each house has its little plot of potatoes; and this they all require, for there are many children, and they all have good appetites. The children come out to meet every stranger, whether walking or riding, and ask him to buy their carved wooden ch?lets, made like the houses they live in. Be it fine or be it wet, the children try to sell their carvings.??About twenty years since you might have seen one little boy standing apart from the others, but evidently very desirous to dispose of his wares. He looked grave and sad, and held his little tray tightly with both hands as if he was afraid of losing it. This serious look and his small size caused him to be much noticed by travelers, who often called him and purchased many of his toys, though he did not know why he was so favored. His grandfather lived two miles off among the mountains, where he did his carving. He had a cabinet full of the things he had made. ??There were nut-crackers, knives and forks, boxes carved with leaves and chamois, and many toys for children; but little Rudy cared for nothing so much as for an old gun, hanging from a rafter in the ceiling, for his grandfather had told him it should be his own when he was big enough to know how to use it.

Half way up the side of a tall tree there was a round hole in the trunk. The hole was lined with soft, dried leaves, and bits of white, fluffy cotton, from the milkweed plant. And, if you looked very carefully at the hole, you might see, peering from it, a little head, like that of a very small kitten, and a pair of very bright eyes.??But it was not a kitten that looked from the little hole in the trunk of the tree. Kitties can climb trees, but they do not like to live in them. They would rather have a warm place behind the stove, with a nice saucer of milk.??Now if I tell you that the little creatures who lived in this hole-nest had big, fluffy tails, and that they could sit up on their hind legs, and eat nuts, I am sure you can guess what they were.??Squirrels! That’s it! In the nest, half way up the big tree in the woods, lived a family of gray squirrels, and I am going to tell you about them, or, rather, more particularly, about one of the little girl squirrels whose name was Slicko.
