Canon of The Non-Sacred Writings
￥53.86
As Holmesians are aware, the literary works of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle are referred to as the Canon of the Sacred Writings. The title of this collection of short stories reflects my desire to belong to the extensive list of authors and fans that want to grow the literary and entertainment history of Sherlock Holmes. In the five short stories, readers will note Holmes' continued mastery of forensic science and logical reasoning as the cornerstones of resolving the thorny issues presented. Holmes' analysis and deductions are the centerpieces of the stories that form this collection. I hope you enjoy your time with Sherlock.

Cartea face parte dintr-o pornire a poetului mai de ?ntindere, dedicat? suveranilor persani din dinastia Ahemenizilor.

The Jewish State
￥9.48
"Der Judenstaat" (German, literally "The Jew State", commonly translated as "The Jewish State") is a pamphlet written by Theodor Herzl and published in February 1896 in Leipzig and Vienna by M. Breitenstein's Verlags-Buchhandlung. It is subtitled with "Versuch einer modernen L?sung der Judenfrage", "Proposal of a modern solution for the Jewish question", and originally called "Address to the Rothschilds" referring to the Rothschild family banking dynasty.It is considered one of the most important texts of early Zionism. As expressed in this book, Herzl envisioned the founding of a future independent Jewish state during the 20th century. He argued that the best way to avoid antisemitism in Europe was to create this independent Jewish state. Herzl, who had lived as a secular, largely assimilated Jew, was fluent in neither Hebrew nor Yiddish. His lack of contact with Jewish culture and intellectual currents, and his limited contact with Jews less assimilated than he was probably the reason he abandoned fundamental Jewish principles and rekindled Zionism with this text. The book was used to encourage Jews from all across Europe to purchase land in Palestine. In Der Judenstaat, Herzl noted the possibility of a Jewish state in Argentina.Herzl popularized the term "Zionism", which was coined by Nathan Birnbaum. The nationalist movement culminated in the birth of the State of Israel in 1948, though Zionism continues to be connected with political support of the State of Israel.

The Double
￥18.80
-THE DOUBLE- centers on a government clerk who goes mad. It deals with the internal psychological struggle of its main character, Yakov Petrovich Golyadkin, who repeatedly encounters someone who is his exact double in appearance but confident, aggressive, and extroverted, characteristics that are the polar opposites to those of the toadying "pushover" protagonist. ??The motif of the novella is a doppelganger (Russian "dvoynik"), known throughout the world in various guises such as the fetch. * * *? It was a little before eight o’clock in the morning when Yakov Petrovitch Golyadkin, a titular councillor, woke up from a long sleep. He yawned, stretched, and at last opened his eyes completely.?For two minutes, however, he lay in his bed without moving, as though he were not yet quite certain whether he were awake or still asleep, whether all that was going on around him were real and actual, or the continuation of his confused dreams. ??Very soon, however, Mr. Golyadkin’s senses began more clearly and more distinctly to receive their habitual and everyday impressions. The dirty green, smoke-begrimed, dusty walls of his little room, with the mahogany chest of drawers and chairs, the table painted red, the sofa covered with American leather of a reddish colour with little green flowers on it, and the clothes taken off in haste overnight and flung in a crumpled heap on the sofa, looked at him familiarly. At last the damp autumn day, muggy and dirty, peeped into the room through the dingy window pane with such a hostile, sour grimace that Mr. Golyadkin could not possibly doubt that he was not in the land of Nod, but in the city of Petersburg, in his own flat on the fourth storey of a huge block of buildings in Shestilavotchny Street.
Old Time Tales: "Forty Stories from Old History"

THE author of this work makes no pretense of originality in the telling of these stories of olden times. They have been gleaned from many sources, and are the common heritage of all who love to write them anew and hear them again. Only the words belong to the story teller; the story itself is as old as the race.??In the lapse of years and with the much telling of these stories there is no longer a line between fact and fiction. How much is true and how much is false does not matter; the story itself is the thing, and one need not worry whether it really happened or not. Much of it is palpable fiction, but much of it is true. Let us not be too critical of a story when it is a few hundred years old.??At any rate, the stories herein contained are a part of the great inheritance that the boys and girls of this day have received from the past, and to which they are entitled in all fullness and freedom. If the reading of them shall add anything to the enjoyment or to the information of those who are always young in heart because they always thrill at romance and adventure, the writer of these old time tales will be amply repaid.?LAWTON B.

Creaia este, dup Fr. Nietzsche, adevrata voina de putere. Ct pot crea – att exist“, iat relaia definitorie i poate chiar sensul vieii, raliat adnc unei ontologii a artei literare. Scriitorul se teme cel mai mult de insuficiena voinei. ntotdeauna a fost ngrozit de un succes de mna a doua. Un succes a fost faptul ca n Frana i-au fost publicate romane dificile“, ntr-un context literar i istoric defavorabil. (…) Breban triete cu luciditate abisal un vis estetic“. Urmeaz, aadar, i nu contrazice autonomia esteticului. Omul i cultura sunt artificioase, nu naturale. El crede c, n esen, literatura nu s-a schimbat niciodat de la Homer ncoace.“ (Marian Victor Buciu) Un romancier pentru o generaie a literaturii. Nici un prozator roman nu a trit, dup 1960, o evoluie att de rapid. Succesul fulgertor al lui Nicolae Breban nu poate i nici nu trebuie s fie judecat independent de momentul 1965 al literaturii tinere. O generaie de povestitori i de poei avea nevoie de un adevrat romancier pentru a-i consacra, aa cum se cuvine, strlucirea. Nu de un romancier fcut prin aglomerarea povestirilor, strlucitor pe fiecare pagina, spectaculos prin fiecare personaj al sau; generaia reclama nu un autor care tie sa povesteasc, ci un scriitor nzestrat cu vocaie de romancier: de adevrat constructor.“ (Cornel Ungureanu)

Pe Nicolae Breban l-am citit, din primul an de facultate, a?a cum i-am citit pe marii scriitori: de la primul la ultimul titlu. ?n cazul s?u, mai mult poate dec?t ?n al oric?rui alt romancier postbelic, acest exerci?iu de fidelitate este obligatoriu. Romanele sale nu sunt indiferente unul fa?? de altul, ci comunic?, toate, ?ntre ele, alc?tuind un sistem omogen, ?n care fiecare pies? este necesar? ?i contribuie la armonia ?ntregului. De altfel, Breban a avut ?nc? de la primele c?r?i ambi?ia operei monumentale, displ?c?ndu-i fragmentarismul ?i proiectele care ?ncep ambi?ios, dar sucomba levantin. Romanele care au ap?rut p?n? ?n 1990, dup? care cititorii s?i fideli de p?n? atunci ?nc? mai suspin? nostalgic, ?n care marile sale teme sunt clar delimitate, reprezint? un reper nu doar pentru literatura rom?n? a ultimei jum?t??i de secol, ci ?i pentru opera ulterioara a scriitorului. C?r?ile publicate ?n ultimii dou?zeci ?i ceva de ani pierd mult dac? sunt citite ??n sine“, f?r? a fi raportate la ?ntregul operei brebaniene. Mai mult dec?t ?nainte, scriitorul a ?nceput s? se ?ntoarc? din ce ?n ce mai des la propriile crea?ii, s? le lege ?ntr-un silogism epic nu ?ntotdeauna facil de sesizat. Cine nu proiecteaz? ?ns? personajele, cazurile contorsionate, ac?iunile din ultimele ispr?vi epice ale autorului la vechile sale realiz?ri pierde imaginea de ansamblu, pierde poate chiar ?i ?calea de acces“ c?tre nucleul acestei opere majore. (Bogdan Cre?u).Ai o imens? ?tabl? de ?ah“, care se ?nt?mpl? s? fie lumea, manevrat? de dou? sisteme aparent antagonice (dar care se ?n?eleg foarte bine, fiindc? au fost de aceea?i parte a frontului ?n r?zboi), c?rora li se subsumeaz? unele subsisteme cu interese colaterale (cum a fost Lumea a treia sau alian?a ??rilor nealiniate). Dincolo de milioanele de mici episoade locale sau regionale care coloreaza jocul, unde se consuma nevroze f?r? num?r ?i mistific?ri extrem de sofisticate, dou? mize profunde r?m?n mereu pe tabl?, estompate ca relevan?? sau voit obscurizate, pentru a nu le vedea adversarul: planetarizarea surselor de energie ?i necesitatea cre?rii unui sistem inovator de control informa?ional, din care va ie?i, ?n cele din urm?, lumea Internetului de azi. Adic?, daca ne g?ndim bine, chiar cele dou? domenii ?n care comuni?tii au fost pu?i s? piard? partida, intr?nd apoi ?n colaps sistemic ?i ?n insolven??. Aminti?i-v? de ce se spunea dup? '89: c?
