My Book of Indoor Games
￥8.09
Am ?nceput s? scriu acest text aproape imediat dup? moartea tat?lui meu. F?r? s?-mi dau seama, scriam cu m?nie ?i cu revolt?, de?i credeam c? ?mi impun o privire impar?ial?, de jurnalist, asupra evenimentelor, personajelor ?i a mea ?ns?mi. Recitind, ?n perioade lini?tite, m? ?ntrebam dac? cei din jurul meu nu erau ?i ei con?tien?i de clocotul meu interior ?i, dac? erau, de ce nu-mi spunea nimeni nimic. Pe parcursul anilor, din textul ini?ial nu a r?mas dec?t titlul, acest Whole Lotta Love pe care tata ?l asculta pe repeat, acas?. Cu voia sau f?r? voia mea, firele narative s-au contopit ?ntre ele ?i, ?n cele din urm?, mi-am scris propria poveste de dragoste. Tata cred c? m? ?n?elege, de unde e el. C?nd eram mai mic?, ?mi doream s? pot avea ?ncredere total? ?n cel care scrie ?i, dac? s-ar ?nt?mpla s? ne ?nt?lnim pe strad?, persoana scriitorului s? fie ca textul pe care ?l citisem ceva mai devreme. Nu v? pot cere ?ncrederea voastr? total? (de?i a? cam avea nevoie de ea! ?), dar sunt sigur? c?, dac? ne ?nt?lnim, ve?i recunoa?te ?n mine aerul din care e f?cut? Whole Lotta Love.

Vajon miért építtet fel egy épületet a városka melletti félrees? helyen a helyi k?z?sség k?zkedvelt, ámde kül?n?s megszállottságtól vezérelt lelkésze az 1800-as évek végén az Egyesült ?llamokban, kockáztatva ezzel papi hivatását is? ?s miért pont ott? A válasz vele együtt odavész, amikor jó pár év elteltével ? maga is nyomtalanul elt?nik.

Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens
￥8.09
Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens is a novel by J. M. Barrie, published in 1906; it is one of four major literary works by Barrie featuring the widely known literary character he created, Peter Pan. ? Peter is a seven-day-old infant who, "like all infants", used to be part bird. Peter has complete faith in his flying abilities, so, upon hearing a discussion of his adult life, he is able to escape out of the window of his London home and return to Kensington Gardens. Upon returning to the Gardens, Peter is shocked to learn from the crow Solomon Caw that he is not still a bird, but more like a human – Solomon says he is crossed between them as a "Betwixt-and-Between". Unfortunately, Peter now knows he cannot fly, so he is stranded in Kensington Gardens. At first, Peter can only get around on foot, but he commissions the building of a child-sized thrush's nest that he can use as a boat to navigate the Gardens by way of the Serpentine, the large lake that divides Kensington Gardens from Hyde Park.
Japanese Folktales The Haunted Temple of Kisaichi Village
￥8.09
In the year 1680 there stood an old temple on a wild pine-clad mountain near the village of Kisaichi, in the Province of Inaba. The temple was far up in a rocky ravine. So high and thick were the trees, they kept out nearly all daylight, even when the sun was at its highest. As long as the old men of the village could remember the temple had been haunted by a shito dama and the skeleton ghost (they thought) of some former priestly occupant. Many priests had tried to live in the temple and make it their home but all had died. No one could spend a night there and live. At last, in the winter of 1701, there arrived at the village of Kisaichi a priest who was on a pilgrimage. His name was Jogen, and he was a native of the Province of Kai. Jogen had come to see the haunted temple. He was fond of studying such things. Though he believed in the shito dama form of spiritual return to earth, he did not believe in ghosts. As a matter of fact, he was anxious to see a shito dama, and, moreover, wished to have a temple of his own. In this wild mountain temple, with a history which fear and death prevented people from visiting or priests inhabiting, he thought that he had ?'a real good thing.' Thus he had found his way to the village on the evening of a cold December night, and had gone to the inn to eat his rice and to hear all he could about the temple. Jogen was no coward; on the contrary, he was a brave man, and made all inquiries in the calmest manner.

Salammbo
￥8.09
According to Wikipedia: "Salammbo (1862) is a historical novel by Gustave Flaubert that interweaves historical and fictional characters. The action takes place immediately before and during the Mercenary Revolt against Carthage in the third century BC. Flaubert's main source was Book I of Polybius's Histories. It was not a particularly well-studied period of history and required a great deal of work from the author, who enthusiastically left behind the realism of his masterpiece Madame Bovary for this tale of blood-and-thunder. The book, which Flaubert researched painstakingly, is largely an exercise in sensuous and violent exoticism. Following the success of Madame Bovary, it was another best-seller and sealed his reputation. The Carthaginian costumes described therein even left traces on the fashions of the time. Nevertheless, in spite of its classic status in France, it is practically unknown today among English-speakers."

The Gift of the Magi and Other Stories from The Four Million
￥8.09
The Gift of the Magi is O. Henry's best known story. It appears here together with the other stories of his "Four Million" collection. According to Wikipedia: "O. Henry was the pen name of American writer William Sydney Porter (September 11, 1862 – June 5, 1910). O. Henry short stories are known for wit, wordplay, warm characterization and clever twist endings…. Most of O. Henry's stories are set in his own time, the early years of the 20th century. Many take place in New York City, and deal for the most part with ordinary people: clerks, policemen, waitresses. Fundamentally a product of his time, O. Henry's work provides one of the best English examples of catching the entire flavor of an age. Whether roaming the cattle-lands of Texas, exploring the art of the "gentle grafter," or investigating the tensions of class and wealth in turn-of-the-century New York, O. Henry had an inimitable hand for isolating some element of society and describing it with an incredible economy and grace of language. Some of his best and least-known work resides in the collection Cabbages and Kings, a series of stories which each explore some individual aspect of life in a paralytically sleepy Central American town while each advancing some aspect of the larger plot and relating back one to another in a complex structure which slowly explicates its own background even as it painstakingly erects a town which is one of the most detailed literary creations of the period. The Four Million is another collection of stories. It opens with a reference to Ward McAllister's "assertion that there were only 'Four Hundred' people in New York City who were really worth noticing. But a wiser man has arisen—the census taker—and his larger estimate of human interest has been preferred in marking out the field of these little stories of the 'Four Million.'" To O. Henry, everyone in New York counted. He had an obvious affection for the city, which he called "Bagdad-on-the-Subway,"
