A MYSTERY is, in a popular sense, that which cannot be easily explained; a circumstance that cannot be readily accounted for. Something is, but how or why we cannot tell. The mysteries of modern London are as the sands of the seashore. The mighty city itself is a mystery. The lives of thousands of its inhabitants are mysteries. In the glare and clamour of the noonday, as in the darkness and silence of the night, the mysteries arise, sometimes to startle the world, sometimes to attract so little attention that the story of them never reaches the public ear. There are mysteries blazoned forth with all the glamour that the contents-bill and the headline can give them, and there are mysteries that are jealously guarded by those high in authority, lest public curi-osity should seek to fathom them.There are mysteries in splendid mansions and in squalid garrets which contain all the elements of criminal romance, and yet pass with the police and the press as matter-of-fact incidents of London's daily life. The great river hides more mysteries than ever the Seine gave up to the Paris Morgue, and many of them end with a little rest in a quiet mortuary, a "found drowned" hand-bill posted for a day or two on a police-station notice-board, an inquest, an open verdict, and a pauper's funeral. But among the victims have been men and women the story of whose doing to death would have thrilled the masses and the classes alike; in some instances would have revealed the presence in our midst of active agents of the most desperate secret societies in the world. There are no mysteries of modern London more terrible than its unrecorded ones. There are disap-pearances that are never chronicled; murders that are never discovered; victims of foul play who go certified to the grave as having succumbed to "natural causes."

Kurt marries the daughter of a rancher and she nurses him back to health after his tour of Germany during World War I. The film "Riders of the Dawn" was based on his book.

"C'est la veille de No?l, dans une grosse ville de Bavière. Par les rues blanches de neige, dans la confusion du brouillard, le bruit des voitures et des cloches, la foule se presse, joyeuse, aux r?tisseries en plein vent, aux baraques, aux étalages. Fr?lant avec un bruissement léger les boutiques enrubannées et fleuries, des branches de houx vert, des sapins entiers chargés de pendeloques passent portés à bras, dominant toutes les têtes, comme une ombre des forêts de Thuringe, un souvenir de nature dans la vie factice de l'hiver."

LITTLE ELISA:?“A Time Traveler Story”??“..There will always be a missing piece in life. It could be either something that is left undone or someone who you could not be able to come together with. Maybe the last piece has all the meaning of our lives and therefore it is always hidden” said Elisa, before she started her talk.??It might be a specific moment that we have to spend the rest of our lives searching that missing diamond piece. Because, without that last piece, nothing will be complete..”??“..Similar to this, what was the missing piece and the true meaning of Alice’s life before she became Elisa? She had to discover it. But she would have to take a really long trip to discover this..”??TRAVELER PILGRIM:?Before I met Elisa, I had read such thing like below, in the book of the Muslim: “This life of the world is nothing But a Pastime and a Game.” ?(Quran, The Book of Islam)??“How could this be possible? Or is this the true meaning of the life?” were the questions that I asked myself since I read this. ?Is there an imaginary world and a real one? ??But after meeting Elisa and seeing these alternative (imaginary) worlds, I slowly realized that I am in a world of amusement indeed. ??Finally I could see that everything is a fictitious game in this book. I am sure that you will agree with me and rethink about the “truth” as you keep reading this book in which Elisa lived and my interesting trips with Elisa..??And you’ll be remember that In the universe, ?Everything has both an imaginary view and a real one, after this long trip!.??“..Could the life we live and we consider as real be a fancy and funny fiction? What is reality? ?This has been discussed again and again, throughout history. It has inspired artists and philosophers.”??He was just a little boy according to his parents. ?Time has passed quickly. But he decided not to lose his childish spirit in spite of everything. He would find a way to implement his belief about finding the elixir of youth and the eternity of life. ??- “Soon we will take a step into a new period by discovering the truth in this alternative world!” he was saying while searching for the elixir of immortality all the time.??"A black rabbit sneaked into a white hole.."?What was that? ?There was not the world we knew, everything was meaningless but a brand new world and a vision were awaiting for the rabbit.."??The Miraculous “WONDERLAND”: ?Where EVERYTHING is POSSIBLE..

THIS is the true story of Menie and Monnie and their two little dogs, Nip and Tup.Menie and Monnie are twins, and they live far away in the North, near the very edge.They are five years old. Menie is the boy, and Monnie is the girl. But you cannot tell which is Menie and which is Monnie,—not even if you look ever so hard at their pictures!That is because they dress alike.When they are a little way off even their own mother can't always tell. And if she can't, who canSometimes the twins almost get mixed up about it themselves. And then it is very hard to know which is Nip and which is Tup, because the little dogs are twins too.Nobody was surprised that the little dogs were twins, because dogs often are.But everybody in the whole village where Menie and Monnie live was simply astonished to see twin babies!They had never known of any before in their whole lives.Old Akla, the Angakok, or Medicine Man of the village, shook his head when he heard about them. He said, "Such a thing never happened here before. Seals and human beings never have twins! There's magic in this."The name of the twins' father was Kesshoo. If you say it fast it sounds just like a sneeze.Their mother's name was Koolee. Kesshoo and Koolee, and Menie and Monnie, and Nip and Tup, all live together in the cold Arctic winter in a little stone hut, called an "igloo."In the summer they live in a tent, which they call a "tupik." The winters are very long and cold, and what do you think! They have one night there that is four whole months long!For four long months, while we are having Thanksgiving, and Christmas, and even Lincoln's Birthday, the twins never once see the sun!

The continued success of the Jataka Tales," as retold and published ten years ago, has led to this second and companion volume. Who that has read or told stories to children has not been lured on by the subtle flattery of their cry for "more"? ??Dr. Felix Adler, in his Foreword to "Jataka Tales," says that long ago he was "captivated by the charm of the Jataka Tales." Little children have not only felt this charm, but they have discovered that they can read the stories to themselves. And so "More Jataka Tales" were found in the volume translated from the Sanskrit into English by a group of Cambridge scholars and published by the University Press. ??The Jataka tales, regarded as historic in the Third Century B. C., are the oldest collection of folk-lore extant. They come down to us from that dim far-off time when our forebears told tales around the same hearthfire on the roof of the world. Professor Rhys Davids speaks of them as a priceless record of the childhood of our race. The same stories are found in Greek, Latin, Arabic, Persian, and in most European languages. The Greek versions of the Jataka tales were adapted and ascribed to the famous storyteller, Aesop, and under his name handed down as a continual feast for the children in the West, — tales first invented to please and instruct our far-off cousins in the East." Here East, though East, meets West! ??A "Guild of Jataka Translators," under Professor E. B. Cowell, professor of Sanskrit in the University of Cambridge, brought out the complete edition of the Jataka between 1895 and 1907. It is from this source that "Jataka Tales" and "More Jataka Tales" have been retold. ??Of these stories, spread over Europe through literary channels, Professor Cowell says, "They are the stray waifs of literature, in the course of their long wanderings coming to be recognized under widely different aspects, as when they are used by Boccaccio, or Chaucer, or La Fontaine." ?

"So foul a sky clears not without a storm." —SHAKESPEARE "Nostromo" is the most anxiously meditated of the longer novels which belong to the period following upon the publication of the "Typhoon" volume of short stories.I don't mean to say that I became then conscious of any im-pending change in my mentality and in my attitude towards the tasks of my writing life. And perhaps there was never any change, except in that mysterious, extraneous thing which has nothing to do with the theories of art; a subtle change in the nature of the inspiration; a phenomenon for which I can not in any way be held responsible. What, however, did cause me some concern was that after finishing the last story of the "Typhoon" volume it seemed somehow that there was nothing more in the world to write about. This so strangely negative but disturbing mood lasted some lit-tle time; and then, as with many of my longer stories, the first hint for "Nostromo" came to me in the shape of a vagrant anecdote completely destitute of valuable details.As a matter of fact in 1875 or '6, when very young, in the West Indies or rather in the Gulf of Mexico, for my contacts with land were short, few, and fleeting, I heard the story of some man who was supposed to have stolen single-handed a whole lighter-full of silver, somewhere on the Tierra Firme seaboard during the trou-bles of a revolution.

"Le curé de Chemillé s'en allait porter le Bon Dieu à un malade. Vraiment, c'était pitié de songer que quelqu'un pouvait mourir par un si beau jour d'été, en plein Angélus de midi, le moment de la vie et de la lumière. C'était pitié aussi de songer que ce pauvre curé avait été obligé de se mettre en route tout de suite en sortant de table, à l'heure où d'habitude il allait – le bréviaire aux mains – faire un bout de sieste sous sa petite tonnelle de vigne, au frais et au repos d'un joli jardin plein de pêches m?res et de roses trémières."

17. yüzy?l ?spanya's?nda edebiyat dü?künü bir maceraperest; günümüzdeyse klasikle?mi? bir yazar: Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra. ?spanyol donanmas?na kat?l?p K?br?s'ta, ?nebaht?'da, Tunus'ta, Navar?n'de sava?t?. Be? y?l Cezayir'de esir hayat? ya?ad?. ?lkesinde resmi g?revler üstlendi ve yolsuzluk, cinayet gibi gerek?elerle defalarca hapse girdi ??kt?. Her ?ey edebiyat i?indi; onca serüvenden sonra tüm zamanlar?n en ünlü hayalperesti La Manchali Don Ki?ot'u yazd?. Nesli tükenmi? ??valyelere ?zenip hayallerinde kurdu?u dünyada ya?ayan Don Ki?ot, umutsuz bir kahramanl?kla, yel de?irmenlerini devle?tiren aptall?k aras?nda bir simge günümüz dünyas?nda. T?pk? u?a?? Sanco Panza'n?n pratik ve ger?ek?i halk?n simgesi oldu?u gibi… Birinci b?lümü 1605 y?l?nda yay?mlanan ?spanyol edebiyat?n?n bu ba?yap?t?, yay?mland??? günden beri pek ?ok dile ?evrildi, defalarca bas?ld?.?mrünün son y?llar?nda da olsa, D?n Ki?ot sayesinde istedi?i un, sayg?nl?k ve paraya kavu?an Cervantes ?ldü?ünde modern roman?n ilk kilometre ta?lar?ndan birini dikti?ini bilmiyordur. ?ok farkl? ulusal edebiyatlar?n ?ok farkl? yazar, ele?tirmen ve okurlar? Don Ki?ot'u modern edebiyat?n ba?lang?? noktas? ve kutsal kitab? olarak de?erlendirirler. Don Ki?ot'un ü? tek tanr?l? dinin kutsal kitaplar?ndan sonra gelmi? ge?mi? en ?ok okunan kitab? olmas? da bu de?erlendirmenin hakl?l???n? kan?tlar. Günümüzde onun yaln?zca ilk modern roman de?il, ayn? zamanda ilk post-modern roman oldu?unu iddia edenler de var. Bu ku?kusuz tart??maya a??k bir konudur; ancak bu iddian?n kesin olarak g?sterdi?i, modern zamanlar? yararak gelen muhte?em Don Ki?ot'un tam 400 y?l ?nce ?u s?ralarda yay?nland???ndan beri güncelli?inden hi?bir ?ey kaybetmemi? oldu?udur. Belki de bu yitmezli?in, bitmezli?in s?rr? bir ba?ka edebiyat olumsuzunun, Dostoyevski'nin ?u s?zlerinin alt?nda bir yerlerdedir: "Don Ki?ot, insan dü?üncesinin en son ve en büyük s?zü, insan?n ifade edebilece?i en ac? ironidir" ?enyor Kesada'n?n tatl? delilikleri: K?yün ?atosu bir tepe üstünde yükseliyordu. Berber ile papaz o sabah bu tepenin ete?inde kar??la?t?lar; hem birbirlerini g?rmekten, hem de bu taze ve parlak sabahtan do?an sevin?le uzun uzun birbirlerinin elini s?kt?lar, ?spanya k?rlar?, g?z alabildi?ine güne?in alt?na serilip gidiyordu. G?kyüzünde en güzel yaz günlerinin derin ve temiz mavili?i vard?. Her ?ey g?ze ho? g?rünüyor, her ?ey derin bir ya?ama sevinci ve tatl?l??? ile dolup ta??yordu. Bununla beraber papaz dü?ünceli g?rünmekte idi. Berber: — Dostumuz ?enyor Kesada ne halde? diye sordu. Papaz cenazeden d?ner gibi bir ?ehre ile i?ini ?ekerek cevap verdi: — Nas?l istemezseniz ?yle. Ben ?imdi ?atodan geliyorum. Dostumuza o u?ursuz kitaplar? bir par?a b?rak?p k?rlara ??kmas? i?in yalvard?m. Ha ona nasihat vermi?sin, ha bir d??? kat?ra ! Berber ba??n? iki yana sallayarak: — Do?ru, dedi, onunki si bal gibi delilik! O ??valye romanlar? yazmakla vakitlerini ge?iren a?a??l?k yaz?c?lar?n etti?ini bulacak.
