The Exploration of the World
¥8.09
First part of Jules Verne's three-part history of the exploration of the world. This volume covers from Hanno and Herodotus to Champlain and LaSale. According to Wikipedia: "Jules Gabriel Verne (February 8, 1828 – March 24, 1905) was a French author who pioneered the science-fiction genre. He is best known for his novels Journey to the Center of the Earth (written in 1864), From the Earth to the Moon (1865), Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea (1869–1870), and Around the World in Eighty Days (1873). Verne wrote about space, air, and underwater travel before navigable aircraft and practical submarines were invented, and before any means of space travel had been devised. Consequently he is often referred to as the "Father of science fiction", along with H. G. Wells. Verne is the second most translated author of all time, only behind Agatha Christie with 4162 translations..."
Guy Mannering

First published in 1815. Set in Galloway, Scotland, 1760-1765 and 1781-1782. According to Wikipedia: "Sir Walter Scott, 1st Baronet (1771 – 1832) was a prolific Scottish historical novelist and poet popular throughout Europe during his time. In some ways Scott was the first English-language author to have a truly international career in his lifetime, with many contemporary readers all over Europe, Australia, and North America. His novels and poetry are still read, and many of his works remain classics of both English-language literature and of Scottish literature. Famous titles include Ivanhoe, Rob Roy, The Lady of The Lake, Waverley, The Heart of Midlothian and The Bride of Lammermoor."

According to Wikipedia, "John Buchan, 1st Baron Tweedsmuir (26 August 1875 – 11 February 1940) was a Scottish novelist and Unionist politician who served as Governor General of Canada. Buchan's 100 works include nearly thirty novels, seven collections of short stories and biographies of Sir Walter Scott, Caesar Augustus, and Oliver Cromwell. Buchan's most famous of his books were the spy thrillers (including) The 39 Steps (which was converted to a play as well as an Alfred Hitchcock movie starring Robert Donat as Richard Hannay, though with Buchan's story much altered.) The "last Buchan" (as Graham Greene entitled his appreciative review) was the 1941 novel Sick Heart River (American title: Mountain Meadow), in which a dying protagonist confronts in the Canadian wilderness the questions of the meaning of life. The insightful quotation "It's a great life, if you don't weaken" is famously attributed to Buchan, as is "No great cause is ever lost or won, The battle must always be renewed, And the creed must always be restated."
Can You Forgive Her?
¥8.09
First published serially in 1864-1865 and in book form in 1864 (Volume I) and 1865. The Palliser series consists of: Can You Forgive Her? Phineas Finn, The Eustace Diamonds, Phineas Redux, The Prime Minister, and The Duke's Children. According to Wikipedia: "Anthony Trollope ( 1815 – 1882 ) became one of the most successful, prolific and respected English novelists of the Victorian era. Some of Trollope's best-loved works, known as the Chronicles of Barsetshire, revolve around the imaginary county of Barsetshire; he also wrote penetrating novels on political, social, and gender issues and conflicts of his day. Trollope has always been a popular novelist. Noted fans have included Sir Alec Guinness (who never travelled without a Trollope novel), former British Prime Ministers Harold Macmillan and Sir John Major, economist John Kenneth Galbraith, American novelists Sue Grafton and Dominick Dunne and soap opera writer Harding Lemay. Trollope's literary reputation dipped somewhat during the last years of his life, but he regained the esteem of critics by the mid-twentieth century. "Of all novelists in any country, Trollope best understands the role of money. Compared with him even Balzac is a romantic." — W. H. Auden"
Siddhartha, Eine Indische Dichtung
¥8.09
Klassischer Roman, erstmals im Original 1922 ver?ffentlicht. Nach Wikipedia: "Siddhartha ist ein Roman von Hermann Hesse, der sich mit der spirituellen Reise eines Jungen namens Siddhartha vom indischen Subkontinent zur Zeit des Buddha besch?ftigt. Das Buch , Hesses neunter Roman, wurde auf eine einfache, aber dennoch kraftvolle und lyrische Art geschrieben, die 1951 in den USA ver?ffentlicht wurde und in den 1960er Jahren einflussreich wurde: Hesse widmete Siddhartha Ninon Hesse, seiner Frau, das Wort Siddhartha von zwei W?rtern in der Sanskrit-Sprache, siddha (erreicht) + artha (Bedeutung oder Reichtum). Die beiden W?rter zusammen bedeuten "derjenige, der Bedeutung (der Existenz) gefunden hat" oder "Er, der seine Ziele erreicht hat". Der Name des Buddha, vor seiner Entsagung war Prinz Siddhartha Gautama. In diesem Buch wird der Buddha als "Gotama" bezeichnet. "Hermann Hesse (2. Juli 1877 - 9. August 1962) war ein in Deutschland geborener Schweizer Dichter, Romancier und Maler. Im Jahr 1946 erhielt er den Nobelpreis für Literatur. Zu seinen bekanntesten Werken z?hlen Steppenwolf, Siddhartha und The Glass Bead Game (auch bekannt als Magister Ludi), die alle die Suche nach Authentizit?t, Selbsterkenntnis und Spiritualit?t untersuchen.
