„Romanele ?i povestirile lui Golding nu sunt numai parabole morale sobre ?i mituri întunecate despre for?ele distrug?toare ?i perfide ale r?ului, ci ?i istorii aventuroase, pline de farmec, ce pot fi citite ca atare, debordând de pl?cerea de a povesti, de inventivitate ?i suspans.“ – Comitetul Nobel „Compact ?i plin de vigoare… O poveste captivant?.“ – The New York Times Book Review „Golding a fost un scriitor […] cu o minunat? voca?ie epopeic?. [S-a priceput s? spun?] pove?ti originare, despre cum a înv??at omul s? vorbeasc?, despre izvoarele r?ului, despre straniile surse ale artei.“ – Malcom Bradbury Clasici moderni Litera pune laolalt? scriitori moderni ale c?ror opere au devenit deja repere clasice.

Portretul lui Dorian Gray
￥41.37
Kafka se pricepe s dezvluie pretutindeni lumina tinuit. Ai impresia c descoperi o mare nsorit, cu valuri ce sunt niri de lumin i n faa creia trebuie s nchizi, orbit, ochii, pentru a te adposti la umbr.“ (Max Brod) Kafka este cel mai mare scriitor de limb german al timpului nostru. Poei precum Rilke, romancieri precum Mann par fies pleasc n comparaie cu el, fie s radieze o lumin puternic, dar artificial.“ (Vladimir Nabokov) Poate cel mai interesant scriitor al generaiei sale... Un geniu straniu i deconcertant.“ (Edwin Muir) Cu ct opera e mai desvrit, cu att mai puin ne trimite ea spre autorul ei. [...] Franz Kafka este scriitorul care i-a consumat experiena de via n asemenea msur, nct referirea la biografie devine superflu.“ (Martin Walser)
La Reine du Sabbat
￥8.82
L’action se passe dans un pays que l’auteur nomme Austrasie par pure convenance, car sa capitale est Vienne, on y parle allemand et la famille impériale est décimée par des deuils, dont une double mort à Mayerling. C’est dire que l’on est en Autriche et que l’auteur donne sa version très personnelle des drames qu’a réellement connus la dynastie des Habsbourg. Le livre a été écrit en 1911, alors que l’empereur Fran?ois-Joseph (Fran?ois tout court dans le texte) régnait encore et que ces deuils étaient tout récents, ce qui expliquerait la très relative pudeur de l’auteur. Il n’est pas possible de résumer ce roman sans en donner les clés et par là en g?cher irrémédiablement la lecture. Disons que c’est une histoire de vengeance et de mort, une histoire terriblement sanglante. L’assassinat qui constitue le prologue du livre n’est qu’un aspect, presque secondaire, de l’intrigue. Mais si le feuilleton ne compte plus les invraisemblances, si l’auteur a recours à tous les artifices les plus classiques du genre : sosies, portes secrètes, déguisements, talents extraordinaires des héros, il faut reconna?tre que l’histoire est remarquablement construite, se développe de fa?on à soutenir constamment l’intérêt du lecteur et que les épisodes s’embo?tent parfaitement les uns à la suite des autres.
Othello, The Moor of Venice
￥9.00
Othello, The Moor of Venice is a tragedy by William Shakespeare based on the short story "Moor of Venice" by Cinthio, believed to have been written in approximately 1603.

Attesting to its enduring popularity, the play appeared in 7 editions between 1622 and 1705. Because of its varied themes — racism, love, jealousy and betrayal — it remains relevant to the present day and is often performed in professional and community theatres alike.

The Water of Life: Uisge beatha
￥48.97
Uisge beatha, Scottish Gaelic for 'whisky', is literally 'the water of life'. However, it also frequently proves lethal. Driven by a mysterious voice, Elizabeth Legrand plunges headlong into an insane project: opening a distillery in her small, isolated Canadian community in Georgian Bay. Using ancient reserves of Glen Dubh, a mythical Scotch thought lost to the world, she hopes to create a single-malt whisky better than anything distilled in Scotland. However, the only thing that could prove worse than failing to revive the Glen Dubh is if she succeeds. The water of life, incarnated in the Fearmòr clan's whisky for over five centuries, is tainted by the dramatic and sometimes fatal struggles of the distillers. It bends the will of those it touches: guiding them or condemning them to their fate. This turbulent family saga spans two continents and several generations of three lineages, climaxing with the tragic arrival of the whisky in Lake Huron. The present-day descendants of the bloodlines are about to meet, and so will begin yet another tumultuous chapter in the odyssey of "the water of life", mixing the captivating tale of Scotch whisky with the stories of the challenging Georgian Bay coastal life.
