Edizione specifica per kindle con 67 illustrazioni, mappa del viaggio e indice navigabile. Tre uomini in barca (senza contare il cane) o, in altre traduzioni, Tre uomini in barca (per non parlar del cane) oppure Tre uomini in barca (per tacer del cane) è un romanzo di Jerome K. Jerome del 1889, è un romanzo umoristico ed considerato uno dei più importanti classici della letteratura inglese. Il romanzo narra la avventure di tre amici Jerome, Harris (l'uomo più prosaico della terra) e George (che ?va a dormire in una banca tutti i giorni dalle 10 alle 16, tranne il sabato che lo cacciano fuori alle 14?), che assieme al fedele cane Montmorency, viaggiano per giorni sulla loro imbarcazione, risalendo la corrente del fiume Tamigi, scorrendo lungo le campagne inglesi, e vivendo sempre nuove e inattese avventure che strappano risate di continuo. Il viaggio è costellato da una serie di gag comiche sulle gioie e sui dolori della vita in barca (quali le peripezie sul trasporto delle vivande, la costruzione della tenda sulla barca, i pericoli di cadute in acqua), unite a divertenti divagazioni che costituiscono storie a sé stanti, nel miglior stile dello humour inglese: celeberrimo è il racconto dello zio Podger alle prese con un quadro da appendere. Il tutto condito da descrizioni realistiche delle regioni attraversate dalla simpatica brigata e brevi notazioni di filosofia per non addetti ai lavori. La traduzione si basa sull'edizione del 1922 curata da Silvio Spaventa Filippi, ma è stata aggiornata all'italiano corrente dal redattore preservando lo stile dell'epoca in cui è stato scritto. Il testo è completo e si riferisce all'edizione del 1899 ed è arricchito da 67disegni originali di A. Frederics e della mappa del viaggio. Jerome K. Jerome (Walsall, 2 maggio 1859 – Northampton, 14 giugno 1927) è stato uno scrittore, giornalista e umorista britannico. ? ritenuto tra i maggiori scrittori umoristici inglesi. Lontano dai modi della farsa, del facile gioco di parole, dell'allusione oscena, il suo umorismo scaturiva anche dall'osservazione dalle situazioni più comuni e quotidiane. § Se sei interessato ad imparare o migliorare il tuo inglese o il tuo italiano, cerca l'edizione bilingue curata da Wirton Arvel. Troverai una versione Inglese-Italiano con paragrafo a fronte facile da leggere perché il testo originale e quello tradotto sono su due colonne affiancate.

The Master Key: An Electrical Fairy Tale, Founded Upon the Mysteries of Electricity and the Optimism of Its Devotees is a 1901 novel by L. Frank Baum, author of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. ? The protagonist is a boy named Rob Joslyn. His age is not specified. Baum dedicated the book "To My Son, Robert Stanton Baum," who was born in 1886 and would thus have been about fifteen at the time it was published. ? Rob is an electrical experimenter whose father encourages him and sees that he "never lacked batteries, motors or supplies of any sort." A "net-work[sic] of wires soon ran throughout the house". He loses track of the elaborately interconnected wires, and trying to get a cardboard house to light up, he "experimented in a rather haphazard fashion, connecting this and that wire blindly and by guesswork, in the hope that he would strike the right combination." There is a bright flash, and a being who calls himself the Demon of Electricity appears. He tells Rob that he has accidentally "touched the Master Key of Electricity" and is entitled to "to demand from me three gifts each week for three successive weeks." Rob protests that he does not know what to ask for, and the Demon agrees to select the gifts himself.

"It's old Mr. Bartle, sir," he whispered. "He's in your room there -- dead " "Dead?" exclaimed Eldrick. "Dead " Pratt shook his head again. "He came up not so long after you'd gone, sir," he said. "Everybody had gone but me -- I was just going. Wanted to see you about something I don't know what. He was very tottery when he came in -- complained of the stairs and the fog. I took him into your room, to sit down in the easy chair. And -- he died straight off. Just," concluded Pratt, "just as if he was going quietly to sleep "

Classic long story or short novel. According to Wikipedia: "Thackeray is most often compared to one other great novelist of Victorian literature, Charles Dickens. During the Victorian era, he was ranked second only to Dickens, but he is now much less read and is known almost exclusively for Vanity Fair. In that novel he was able to satirize whole swaths of humanity while retaining a light touch. It also features his most memorable character, the engagingly roguish Becky Sharp. As a result, unlike Thackeray's other novels, it remains popular with the general reading public; it is a standard fixture in university courses and has been repeatedly adapted for movies and television. In Thackeray's own day, some commentators, such as Anthony Trollope, ranked his History of Henry Esmond as his greatest work, perhaps because it expressed Victorian values of duty and earnestness, as did some of his other later novels. It is perhaps for this reason that they have not survived as well as Vanity Fair, which satirizes those values."

According to Wikipedia: "The Gambler is a short novel by Fyodor Dostoevsky about a young tutor in the employment of a formerly wealthy Russian general. The novella reflects Dostoevsky's own addiction to roulette, which was in more ways than one the inspiration for the book: Dostoevsky completed the novella under a strict deadline to pay off gambling debts."
