The Hound of the Baskervilles
￥8.82
The rich landowner Sir Charles Baskerville is found dead in the park of his manor surrounded by the grim moor of Dartmoor, in the county of Devon. His death seems to have been caused by a heart attack, but the victim's best friend, Dr. Mortimer, is convinced that the strike was due to a supernatural creature, which haunts the moor in the shape of an enormous hound, with blazing eyes and jaws. In order to protect Baskerville's heir, Sir Henry, who's arriving to London from Canada, Dr. Mortimer asks for Sherlock Holmes' help, telling him also of the so-called Baskervilles' curse, according to which a monstrous hound has been haunting and killing the family males for centuries, in revenge for the misdeeds of one Sir Hugo Baskerville, who lived at the time of Oliver Cromwell.

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.

The Lair of the White Worm
￥8.82
In a tale of ancient evil, Bram Stoker creates a world of lurking horrors and bizarre denizens: a demented mesmerist, hellbent on mentally crushing the girl he loves; a gigantic kite raised to rid the land of an unnatural infestation of birds, and which receives strange commands along its string; and all the while, the great white worm slithers below, seeking its next victim... Bram Stoker, creator of Dracula, is one of the most enduring and masterful influences on the literature of terror.
Riders of the Silences

But nowhere in the vast spread of the mountain-desert country was there a greater legend told than the story of Red Pierre and the phantom gunfighter McGurk.

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.
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.

J’en avais donné le go?t à Cordélia, qui avait plut?t un penchant pour la lecture et les arts. Sa mère était italienne. Mon oncle l’avait épousée au cours d’un voyage d’affaires qu’il avait fait à Turin. ? huit ans, Cordélia était déjà bonne musicienne, mais elle nous étonnait surtout par sa facilité à dessiner ou à peindre ce qui la frappait ou l’intéressait. Pour moi tout ce qui sortait des mains de Cordélia me paraissait un miracle."
