The Mystery of Cloomber
￥8.82
Near their residence, Branksome, is The Cloomber Hall, for many years untenanted. After a little while it is settled in by John Berthier Heatherstone, late of the Indian Army. General Heatherstone is nervous to the point of being paranoid. As the story unfolds, it becomes evident that his fears are connected with some people in India whom he has offended somehow. People hear a strange sound, like the tolling of a bell, in his presence, which seems to cause the general great discomfort. Every year his paranoia reaches its climax around the fifth of October, after which date his fears subside for a while. After some time there is a shipwreck in the bay and among the survivors are three Buddhist priests who had boarded the ship from Kurrachee.
The Blue Fairy Book
￥8.82
Andrew Lang's Fairy Books or Andrew Lang's "Coloured" Fairy Books constitute a twelve-book series of fairy tale collections. Although Andrew Lang did not collect the stories himself from the oral tradition, the extent of his sources, who had collected them originally (with the notable exception of Madame d'Aulnoy), made them an immensely influential collection, especially as he used foreign-language sources, giving many of these tales their first appearance in English. As acknowledged in the prefaces, although Lang himself made most of the selections, his wife and other translators did a large portion of the translating and telling of the actual stories. The Blue Fairy Book assembled a wide range of tales, with seven from the Brothers Grimm, five from Madame d'Aulnoy, three from the Arabian Nights, and four Norse stories, among other sources.
Dubliners
￥8.82
Dubliners is a collection of 15 short stories by James Joyce, first published in 1914. The fifteen stories were meant to be a naturalistic depiction of the Irish middle class life in and around Dublin in the early years of the 20th century. The stories were written at the time when Irish nationalism was at its peak, and a search for a national identity and purpose was raging; at a crossroads of history and culture, Ireland was jolted by various converging ideas and influences. They center on Joyce's idea of an epiphany: a moment where a character has a special moment of self-understanding or illumination. Many of the characters in Dubliners later appear in minor roles in Joyce's novel Ulysses. The initial stories in the collection are narrated by children as protagonists, and as the stories continue, they deal with the lives and concerns of progressively older people. This is in line with Joyce's tripartite division of the collection into childhood, adolescence and maturity.

￥8.82

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."

La Galatea
￥8.82
La Galatea suele considerarse como una novela pastoril. Es verdad que los personajes son pastores, pero la novela va mucho más allá, desarrolla un estudio psicológico del amor, siendo este el propósito de Cervantes al escribirla. La novela empezó a redactarse cuando Cervantes volvió de su cautiverio en Argel (diciembre de 1580). No tuvo mucho éxito en las librerías, en comparación con el enorme de la Diana de Montemayor y el grandísimo de la Diana enamorada de Gil Polo. Cervantes tuvo durante toda su vida un altísimo concepto de su novela y la intención de publicar la segunda parte, pero murió sin haberlo hecho.
Das Bildnis des Dorian Gray
￥8.82
Das Bildnis des Dorian Gray ist der einzige Roman des irischen Schriftstellers Oscar Wilde. Eine erste Fassung erschien 1890 in Lippincott’s Monthly Magazine aus Philadelphia, 1891 wurde bei dem Londoner Verlag Ward, Lock and Co. die heute bekannte, überarbeitete und erweiterte Fassung in Buchform ver?ffentlicht.

Die Hauptfigur, der reiche und sch?ne Dorian Gray, besitzt ein Portr?t, das statt seiner altert und in das sich die Spuren seiner Sünden einschreiben. W?hrend Gray immer ma?loser und grausamer wird, bleibt sein ?u?eres dennoch jung und makellos sch?n.
Uncle Bernac: a Memory of the Empire
￥8.82
At this unexpected announcement Talleyrand and Berthier looked at each other in silence, and for once the trained features of the great diplomatist, who lived behind a mask, betrayed the fact that he was still capable of emotion. The spasm which passed over them was caused, however, rather by mischievous amusement than by consternation, while Berthier--who had an honest affection for both Napoleon and Josephine-- ran frantically to the door as if to bar the Empress from entering.

The Night Horseman
￥8.82
At the age of six Randall Byrne could name and bound every state in the Union and give the date of its admission; at nine he was conversant with Homeric Greek and Caesar; at twelve he read Aristophanes with perfect understanding of the allusions of the day and divided his leisure between Ovid and Horace; at fifteen, wearied by the simplicity of Old English and Thirteenth Century Italian, he dipped into the history of Philosophy and passed from that, naturally, into calculus and the higher mathematics; at eighteen he took an A. B. from Harvard and while idling away a pleasant summer with Hebrew and Sanscrit he delved lightly into biology and its kindred sciences, having reached the conclusion that Truth is greater than Goodness or Beauty, because it comprises both, and the whole is greater than any of its parts; at twenty-one he pocketed his Ph. D. and was touched with the fever of his first practical enthusiasm - surgery.
Wood'stown

"L'emplacement était superbe pour b?tir une ville. Il n'y avait qu'à déblayer les bords du fleuve, en abattant une partie de la forêt, de l'immense forêt vierge enracinée là depuis la naissance du monde. Alors abritée tout autour par des collines boisées, la ville descendrait jusqu'aux quais d'un port magnifique, établi dans l'embouchure de la Rivière-Rouge, à quatre milles seulement de la mer."
