Récits d'un Chasseur
￥8.82
Khor et Kalinitch, paru dans une revue, rendit célèbre Tourgueniev. Ce premier texte donne le thème de l'ensemble des récits de ce recueil: la chasse, dans de superbes paysages de plaines, de bois, d'étangs où l'on s'égare très vite, sous une chaleur torride ou une pluie battante. Nous découvrons la vie des paysans russes vers 1850, leurs croyances na?ves, leurs chansons, leurs disputes (que de femmes battues!) mais surtout leur vie terrible: les ma?tres décident de tout (mariage, emploi), les déplacent à leur gré et appliquent une justice très approximative quand ils osent se plaindre. La faim, la peur et la soumission à une hiérarchie corrompue sont le quotidien de nombreux moujiks. L'auteur (narrateur des récits) dénonce ici l'horreur du servage, ce qui lui valut un exil dans ses terres, tout en révélant aux Russes l'?me de son peuple.
The Reluctant Dragon
￥8.82
The Reluctant Dragon is an 1898 children's story by Kenneth Grahame (originally published as a chapter in his book Dream Days), which served as the key element to the 1941 feature film with the same name from Walt Disney Productions. The story has also been set to music as a children's operetta by John Rutter, with words by David Grant. The story takes place in the Berkshire Downs in Oxfordshire (where the author lived and where, according to legend, St George did fight a dragon). It is Grahame's most famous short story. It is arguably much more well-known than Dream Days itself or the related The Golden Age. It can be seen as a prototype to most modern stories in which the dragon is a sympathetic character rather than a threat. In Grahame's story, a young boy discovers an erudite, mushroom-loving dragon living in the Downs above his home. The two become friends, but soon afterwards the dragon is discovered by the townsfolk, who send for St George to rid them of it.

Hamlet
￥8.82
Hamlet is a tragedy by William Shakespeare, believed to have been written between 1599 and 1601. The play, set in Denmark, recounts how Prince Hamlet exacts revenge on his uncle Claudius, who has murdered Hamlet's father, the King, and then taken the throne and married Hamlet's mother. The play vividly charts the course of real and feigned madness—from overwhelming grief to seething rage—and explores themes of treachery, revenge, incest, and moral corruption.

￥8.82

20000 lieues sous les mers
￥8.82
Ce roman, parmi les plus célèbres et des plus traduits de notre littérature, appara?t sans conteste comme une des oeuvres les plus puissantes, les plus originales et les plus représentatives de Jules Verne. Tout commence en 1866: la peur règne sur les océans. Plusieurs navires prétendent avoir rencontré un monstre effrayant. Et quand certains rentrent gravement avariés après avoir heurté la créature, la rumeur devient certitude. L'Abraham Lincoln, frégate américaine, se met en chasse pour débarrasser les mers de ce terrible danger. Elle emporte notamment le professeur Aronnax, fameux ichthyologue du Muséum de Paris, son domestique, le dévoué Conseil, et le Canadien Ned Land, ?roi des harponneurs?. Après six mois de recherches infructueuses, le 5 novembre 1867, on repère ce que l'on croit être un ?narwal gigantesque?. Mais sa vitesse rend le monstre insaisissable et lorsqu'enfin on réussit à l'approcher pour le harponner, il aborde violemment le vaisseau et le laisse désemparé. Aronnax, Conseil et Ned Land trouvent refuge sur le dos du narwal. Ils s'aper?oivent alors qu'il s'agit d'un navire sous-marin...

The Ebony Frame
￥8.82
"""Oh! my dear, my dear, how shall I pass the hours till I hold you again?"" No thought, then, of my whole life's completion and consummation being a dream. I staggered up to my room, fell across my bed, and slept heavily and dreamlessly. When I awoke it was high noon. Mildred and her mother were coming to lunch. I remembered, at one o'clock, Mildred coming and her existence. Now indeed the dream began. With a penetrating sense of the futility of any action apart from her, I gave the necessary orders for the reception of my guests. When Mildred and her mother came I received them with cordiality; but my genial phrases all seemed to be someone else's. My voice sounded like an echo; my heart was not there. Still, the situation was not intolerable, until the hour when afternoon tea was served in the drawing-room. Mildred and mother kept the conversational pot boiling with"

Japanese Fairy Tales
￥8.82
This collection of Japanese fairy tales is the outcome of a suggestion made to me indirectly through a friend by Mr. Andrew Lang. They have been translated from the modern version written by Sadanami Sanjin. These stories are not literal translations, and though the Japanese story and all quaint Japanese expressions have been faithfully preserved, they have been told more with the view to interest young readers of the West than the technical student of folk-lore.
Le Bon Dieu de Chemillé qui n'est ni pour ni contre
￥8.82
"Le curé de Chemillé s'en allait porter le Bon Dieu à un malade. 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."
Facing the Flag
￥8.82
Facing the Flag or For the Flag is a patriotic novel by Jules Verne. Like The Begum's Millions which Verne published in 1879 , it has the theme of France and the entire world threatened by a super-weapon (what would now be called a weapon of mass destruction) with the threat finally overcome through the force of French patriotism. It can be considered one of the first books dealing with problems which was to become paramount half a century after its publication: brilliant scientists discovering new weapons of great destructive power, whose full utilisation might literally destroy the world; the competition between various powers to obtain control of such weapons; and also the efforts of ruthless non-state groups to have it

Michael Strogoff
￥8.82
Michael Strogoff: The Courier of the Czar (French: Michel Strogoff) is a novel written by Jules Verne in 1876. Critics, including Leonard S. Davidow, consider it one of Verne's best books. Davidow wrote, "Jules Verne has written no better book than this, in fact it is deservedly ranked as one of the most thrilling tales ever written." Unlike some of Verne's other novels, it is not science fiction, but a scientific phenomenon (Leidenfrost effect) is a plot device. The book was later adapted to a play, by Verne himself and Adolphe d'Ennery. Incidental music to the play was written by Alexandre Artus in 1880. The book has been adapted several times for films, television and cartoon series.

The Mystery of the Semi-Detached
￥8.82
" He was waiting for her, he had been waiting an hour and a half in a dusty suburban lane, with a row of big elms on one side and some eligible building sites on the other-and far away to the south-west the twinkling yellow lights of the Crystal Palace. It was not quite like a country lane, for it had a pavement and lamp-posts, but it was not a bad place for a meeting all the same: and farther up, towards the cemetery, it was really quite rural, and almost pretty, especially in twilight But twilight had long deepened into the night, and still he waited. He loved her, and he was engaged to be married to her, with the complete disapproval of every reasonable person who had been consulted. And this half-clandestine meeting was tonight to take the place of the grudgingly sanctioned weekly interview-because a certain rich uncle was visiting at her house, and her mother was not the woman to acknowledge to a moneyed uncle, who might "go off" any day, a match so deeply ineligible as hers with him.

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.
