The Mystery of Edwin Drood
The Mystery of Edwin Drood
Charles Dickens
¥18.88
An ancient English Cathedral Tower? How can the ancient English Cathedral tower be here! The well-known massive gray square tower of its old Cathedral? How can that be here! There is no spike of rusty iron in the air, between the eye and it, from any point of the real prospect. What is the spike that intervenes, and who has set it up? ?Maybe it is set up by the Sultan’s orders for the impaling of a horde of Turkish robbers, one by one. It is so, for cymbals clash, and the Sultan goes by to his palace in long procession. Ten thousand scimitars flash in the sunlight, and thrice ten thousand dancing-girls strew flowers. Then, follow white elephants caparisoned in countless gorgeous colours, and infinite in number and attendants. Still the Cathedral Tower rises in the background, where it cannot be, and still no writhing figure is on the grim spike. Stay! ??Is the spike so low a thing as the rusty spike on the top of a post of an old bedstead that has tumbled all awry? Some vague period of drowsy laughter must be devoted to the consideration of this possibility.??Shaking from head to foot, the man whose scattered consciousness has thus fantastically pieced itself together, at length rises, supports his trembling frame upon his arms, and looks around. He is in the meanest and closest of small rooms. Through the ragged window-curtain, the light of early day steals in from a miserable court. He lies, dressed, across a large unseemly bed, upon a bedstead that has indeed given way under the weight upon it. Lying, also dressed and also across the bed, not longwise, are a Chinaman, a Lascar, and a haggard woman. ??The two first are in a sleep or stupor; the last is blowing at a kind of pipe, to kindle it. And as she blows, and shading it with her lean hand, concentrates its red spark of light, it serves in the dim morning as a lamp to show him what he sees of her.??‘Another?’ says this woman, in a querulous, rattling whisper. ??‘Have another?’

La giara
Luigi Pirandello
¥8.82
Vengono qui presentate alcune novelle estratte dalla raccolta "Novelle per un anno". I paesaggi delle novelle sono vari; per quelle dette siciliane si ha spesso il tipico paesaggio rurale, anche se in alcune troviamo il tema sociale del contrasto tra le generazioni dovuto all'unità d'Italia. Altro ambiente delle novelle pirandelliane è la Roma umbertina o giolittiana. I protagonisti sono sempre alla presa con il male di vivere, con il caso e con la morte e potrebbero essere i vicini della porta accanto: sarte, balie, professori, piccoli proprietari di negozi che hanno una vita sconvolta dalla sorte e da drammi familiari. I personaggi ci vengono presentati così come appaiono, è difficile trovare un'approfondita analisi psicologica. Le fisionomie sono spesso eccentriche, per il sentimento del contrario, hanno un carattere opposto a come si presentano, parlano e ragionano nel presentarsi per come essi sentono di essere, ma alla fine saranno sempre preda del caso, che li farà apparire diversi e cambiati.

Complete Exploits and Adventures of Brigadier Gerard
Complete Exploits and Adventures of Brigadier Gerard
Arthur Conan Doyle
¥8.82
Sir Arthur Ignatius Conan Doyle (22 May 1859 – 7 July 1930) was a Scottish writer and physician, most noted for his fictional stories about the detective Sherlock Holmes, which are generally considered milestones in the field of crime fiction. Brigadier Gerard is the hero of a series of comic short stories by the British writer Arthur Conan Doyle. The hero, Etienne Gerard, is a Hussar in the French Army during the Napoleonic Wars. Gerard's most notable attribute is his vanity – he is utterly convinced that he is the bravest soldier, greatest swordsman, most accomplished horseman and most gallant lover in all France. Gerard is not entirely wrong, since he displays notable bravery on many occasions, but his self-satisfaction undercuts this quite often. Obsessed with honour and glory, he is always ready with a stirring speech or a gallant remark to a lady.

The Lost World is a novel released in 1912 by Arthur Conan Doyle concerning an expedition to a plateau in South America where prehistoric animals (dinosaurs and other extinct creatures) still survive. The character of Professor Challenger was introduced in this book. Interestingly, for a seminal work of dinosaur-related fiction, the animals only occupy a small portion of the narrative. Much more time is devoted to a war between early human hominids and a vicious tribe of ape-like creatures.

"It was time then for action, and Lefty Joe prepared for the descent into the home of the enemy. Let it not be thought that he approached this moment with a fallen heart, and with a cringing, snaky feeling as a man might be expected to feel when he approached to murder a sleeping foeman. For that was not Lefty's emotion at all. Rather he was overcome by a tremendous happiness. He could have sung with joy at the thought that he was about to rid himself of this pest."

Flower Children: "The Little Cousins of the Field and Garden"
Elizabeth Gordon
¥18.56
A flower, a child, and a mother’s heart—These three are never so far apart.A child, a flower, and a mother’s love—This world’s best gifts from the world above. LL children are flowers in the garden of God’s love. A flower is the mystical counterpart of a child. To the under-standing heart a child is a flower and a flower is a child. God made flowers on the day that He made the world beautiful. Then He gave the world children to play amid the flowers. God has implanted in the breasts of children a natural love for flowers—and no one who keeps that love in his heart has entirely forsaken the land of childhood. In preparing this book the author and the artist have at-tempted to show the kinship of children and flowers—and it is their hope that the little ones into whose hands this volume comes will find herein the proof that their knowledge of what flowers really are is true and that their love for the friendly blossoms is returned many-fold.To you, then, little child-flowers, this book is lovingly of-fered as an expression of thankfulness to children for the joy and sweetness with which they have filled my life. —ELIZABETH GORDON The Little Cousins ofthe Field and GardenByElizabeth' Gordondrawings by M.T.
