Widow and The Vicar
￥34.24
Like a flash of lightning, the vicar appeared in the pulpit and immediately their eyes met. Elizabeth's heart skipped a beat; her body went weak. She gulped suddenly and nearly choked. A warm stream of fire raced through her body - something she had never felt before in all her life. She was love-struck. "e;Oh my gosh!"e; she mumbled. She had been praying secretly for a long time, asking God to send her a nice man to fill the gap in her life, but she never expected to fall in love with anyone.
Behind Closed Doors
￥58.76
Beth had decided that today she would walk further up the lane and see what there was to see. As she walked she noticed the beautiful wild flowers and marvelled at the trees just starting to bud. Suddenly she came across a house set back from the lane. Beth picked her way carefully up the rough track, to where a rickety, weather-beaten gate hung crazily on its hinges. Beyond, a tangle of weeds and overgrown shrubs almost hid the old house from view. But there it stood, silent and long neglected. It was as if, behind its closed doors, it was waiting - waiting for Beth - waiting to become once more a place of laughter and music, companionship and prayer.

Pom-Pom Goes To Bramble Wood
￥29.33
Everyone admires the new dress her mother has made for Pom-Pom. It has tiny rosebuds stitched around the hem, and Pom-Pom looks very pretty indeed in it. It is certainly not the sort of dress she ought to wear when she is meeting her friends to play in Bramble Wood. Full of fun, and bursting with energy, she cannot keep from joining in with every game. But things with Pom-Pom are apt to go wrong and soon poor Pom-Pom is in trouble again. Pom-Pom Goes to Bramble Wood is the third book in this series of rhyming stories for children.
Watching The World
￥44.05
The day came when I could stand it no longer! Whenever I arrived anywhere (usually with a burst of "e;You're not gonna believe this . . . ."e;) the people around me knew that they would be in for yet another tale of woe about something that had just happened to me during my journey. Some would say, "e;I don't know why you don't write this all down."e; My answer was always that no one would believe me, but, then again, perhaps someone out there just might. So here it is, written down. This book has been written by me for all of you. From footie fans to comical commuters, from dodgy dog-walkers to hapless (or should that be 'helpless'?) hotel guests, from what not to do at pelican crossings to tucking into a takeaway on a Friday night - it's all here. Now, I don't know if you are going to believe what you are about to read or not, but I can assure you that some, most or indeed all the events related in this book have happened (or will happen) to you at some point; and I wish you the very best of luck in trying not to laugh when they do!Jeff Jenkins

￥24.43
The naughty twins, Billy and Ben, are up to mischief on their grandparents' farm where they live, and Scamp, the farm dog, is always ready to join in with their life of fun and adventure. This beautifully illustrated children's story book contains three stories featuring Billy and Ben and their adventures, which will entertain young children and give them an idea about the way of life on a farm in the country. The stories are short and therefore ideal for bedtime reading, both by adults and older children, and also for those learning to read or perhaps keen to improve their reading skills.
Double Trouble
￥24.43
One Sunday the snow is so deep in the lane that even the tractor can't get through. It looks as though Billy and Ben will have to miss church. Instead they help Dad to collect firewood and then they sit round the farmhouse fire while Grandma reads to them from her Bible. She tells them the story of Mary and Joseph's arrival in Bethlehem when there was no room for them at the inn and Jesus had to be born in a humble stable. Suddenly there is a knock at the door of Honeysuckle Farm and when Dad opens the door they see an old man shivering in the yard.
Borrowed Time
￥34.24
Sometimes we think we have all the time in the world. We believe we have forever, but then something happens to show us that we don't. Sooner or later we are brought face-to-face with our own mortality and we realise that life should be about living for the moment and making the most of the precious time we do have. Borrowed Time is a story of joy and sadness, an old-fashioned romance with an undercurrent of tragedy. Roberta meets the man or her dreams, but she knows she hasn't long to live. She feels it would be unfair to get involved, but she finds herself falling in love.

Cartea lui Iustin Mihailov se adreseaz unui public cititor i iubitor de proz memorialistic. i asemenea tuturor autorilor acestui tip de literatur subiectiv, demersul su scriitoricesc are drept scop aezarea propriei sale experiene n lumea cunoaterii. Dar nu e doar att. Sondarea memoriei rscolind cu ochii nevzui ai minii pe potecile copilriei i expunerea narativ fr a respecta o ordine cronologic strict, ci innd mai degrab de impulsurile luntrice emoionale, imprim crii Copiii de pe strada mea o dubl valen. Iustin Mihailov nu e doar un bun neurochirurg, ci i un minunat terapeut. Cci cea de-a doua valen a crii sale are menirea de a fi un remediu, un leac pentru sufletul su uneori mohort de prea multele responsabiliti ale vieii de matur. i atunci cnd tristeea ndrznete s-l tulbure insistent, plonjeaz cu aplomb n adncurile memoriei, de unde revine ntremat i cu puterile sufleteti regenerate” (Petru Frsil”

Nu exist? nici un roman care s? fi fost la fel de prost citit ca Rusoaica lui Gib Mih?escu. Inclusiv de c?tre critica literar? a anilor '30 din secolul trecut. Despre critica de dup? r?zboi e greu de vorbit. Tip?rit ?n 1933, romanul n-a fost reeditat niciodat? ?n timpul comunismului. Nici m?car ?n edi?iile critice. Motivul este ?n primul r?nd titlul. Cu toat? ?desp?r?irea“ politic? a regimului de la Bucure?ti de Uniunea Sovietic? din aprilie 1964, liderii romani au continuat s? menajeze p?n? la sf?r?it ?marea ?ar? prietena“, era formula obi?nuit?, de la R?s?rit, interzic?nd orice referire direct?.Rusoica e un roman captivant, care se cite?te cu pl?cere, dincolo de toate sofisticatele considera?ii ale criticilor. E un roman de aventuri ?i de iubire, despre un t?n?r care ??i ia dorin?ele drept vise ?i iluziile drept idealuri. Cu to?ii, la o anumit? v?rst?, p??im acest lucru. ?i p?n? s? ne fie ru?ine de p??ania proprie, ne desf?t?m cu nemaipomenitele p??anii sentimentale ale locotenentului Ragaiac.NICOLAE MANOLESCU

Am citit putine romane mai impregnate de senzualitate decat Adela. Uimit de acest caracter bine mascat de precautul autor mi-am intitulat capitolul pe care i l-am consacrat in Arca lui Noe Jurnalul seducatorului“. Titlul mi l-a sugerat filosoful danez Kierkegaard cu care doctorul Codrescu are destule asemanari mai ales in masura in care amandoi cred intr-o mistica a iubirii fara ca ea si in pofida lor insisi sa excluda o puternica senzualitate. Cititorul de azi poate avea dificultati in a o recunoaste. Dar daca face efortul sa renunte la prejudecata scenelor tari“ de sex din romanele ultimelor decenii va descoperi de pilda ce incarcatura emotionala si fizica deopotriva are in Adela un sarut pus pe incheietura unei maini delicate de tanara femeie acolo unde dantela manecii se sfarseste.“ – Nicolae Manolescu

Folcloristica ?i critica literar? au stabilit de mult ca Ispirescu este autorul celei mai ample si valoroase colec?ii de basme rom?ne?ti Legende sau basmele romanilor, adunate din gura poporului de Ispirescu, culeg?tor-tipograf […],"?irag de pietre scumpe din averea na?ional?" (V Alecsandri)," ?nt?ia mare colec?ie de basme din Muntenia" ce de?ine "locul ?nt?i ?n folcloristica rom?neasc?" (Ov. Barlea). Ispirescu a cules 70 de basme reprezent?nd 57 de tipuri. Prin colec?ia sa de basme, cele mai multe fantastice, epic? folcloric? bucure?tean? intr? ?n circula?ie scris?, ad?ug?ndu-se liricii folclorice bucure?tene cultivate de Anton Pann ?i ulterior de G. Dem. Teordorescu. Pentru colec?ia amintit? Ispirescu a fost elogiat de V Alecsandri, I. Ghica, N. Filimon, A. I. Odobescu, M. Eminescu, C. A. Rosetti, I. lonescu de la Brad, B. E Ha?deu, B. Delavrancea, dintre rom?ni, iar dintre str?ini de Jules Brun, Emil Picot, Kr. Nyrop. Colec?ia sa a ?ntrecut ?n popularitate pe oricare alta similar?, iar numele i-a fost pus adeseori al?turi de acelea ale lui I. Creanga ?i Anton Pann ("acele trei astre str?lucite de b?rba?i care ?i-au c?p?tat merite nemuritoare pentru cultivarea adev?ratei limbi a poporului rom?n", scria J. U.

Pove?tile lui Creang? sunt delectabile deopotriv? pentru copii ?i pentru adul?i. ?ns? numai cei din urm? le pot gusta pe deplin savoarea. Creanga pare a nu-?i fi b?tut capul s? inventeze pove?ti: avea de?tul material la ?ndem?n? ca s? mai fie nevoie de a?a ceva. C?t datoreaz? el crea?iei folclorice anonime ?i c?t ?i este aceasta tributar? dup? publicarea pove?tilor ?i absorb?ia – sau re?ntoarcerea – acestora ?n circuitul oralit??ii e o chestiune ce poate interesa mig?loase cercet?ri erudite. Farmecul pove?tilor lui Creang? nu st? ?n inven?ie – cel mult, aici ?i-a spus cuv?ntul selec?ia f?cut? de scriitor dintr-un inventar disponibil at?t de bogat. Ceea ce atrage ?i cucere?te, ?n primul r?nd, e ?punerea ?n scen?“ – nemaivorbind de darul rostirii plastice, suculen?e, at?t de mult comentat ?i analizat.LIVIU PAPADIMA
