De peste 160 de ani, impozanta Cavendon Hall este re?edin?a a dou? familii ale c?ror destine s-au ?ntrep?truns inexorabil: aristocra?ii Ingham ?i slujitorii lor loiali, membrii familiei Swann Charles Ingham, al ?aselea conte de Mowbray, locuie?te aici cu so?ia lui Felicity ?i cu cei ?ase copii. Lady Daphne, cea mai frumoas? dintre cele patru fiice ale contelui, se preg?te?te s?-?i fac? debutul ?n ?nalta societate, iar acest eveniment capteaz? aten?ia ?ntregii familii. ?ns? cineva ?i-a pus ?n g?nd s? distrug? totul ? ?i a ales cel mai crud mod cu putin??. Consecin?ele pot fi dezastruoase at?t pentru via?a ?i reputa?ia frumoasei tinere, c?t ?i pentru ?ntreaga familie ?i pentru numele de Ingham. Re?ntoarcerea lui Hugo Ingham Stanton, v?rul primar al contelui, alungat de la Cavendon Hall cu ?aisprezece ani ?n urm? de c?tre propria mam?, va fi pentru Lady Daphne nu numai o salvare providen?ial?, ci ?i g?sirea unei iubiri pentru o via??. Sub amenin?area Primului R?zboi Mondial, familiile Ingham ?i Swann vor fi supuse unor ?ncerc?ri pe care nu le-ar fi crezut niciodat? posibile – loialit??i vor fi puse sub semnul ?ntreb?rii, secrete vor fi dezv?luite ?i iubiri vor fi tr?date. ?n acele vremuri pline de incertitudini, un singur lucru este sigur: pentru cele dou? familii, via?a nu va mai fi niciodat? la fel. Roman a c?rui ac?iune se desf??oar? pe o perioad? de ?aisprezece ani, ?ntre 1913 ?i 1929, Cavendon Hall nu-i va dezam?gi pe cititorii Barbarei Taylor Bradford. ?Fani Downton Abbey, preg?ti?i-v?! Ac?iunea urm?torului bestseller al Barbarei Taylor Bradford se petrece ?n Anglia edwardian?, unde membrii familiei Swann i-au slujit cu credin?? pe aristocra?ii Ingham vreme de secole. Dar, odat? cu Primul R?zboi Mondial, totul se schimb?…” Library Journal ?Barbara Taylor Bradford scrie o saga clasic? despre loialit??i, secrete, pasiuni ?i intrigi. O carte pentru fanii Downton Abbey.” Mail Online ?n cele aproape patru decenii de carier?, Barbara Taylor Bradford a scris 35 de bestselleruri, v?ndute ?n 92 de milioane de exemplare, ?n 90 de ??ri ?i traduse ?n 40 de limbi. Zece dintre romanele sale au fost ecranizate, bucur?ndu-se, ca ?i c?r?ile, de un succes remarcabil.

This carefully crafted ebook is formatted with a functional and detailed table of contents.Franz Kafka (3 July 1883 – 3 June 1924) was a German-language writer of novels and short stories, regarded by critics as one of the most influential authors of the 20th century. Kafka strongly influenced genres such as existentialism. Most of his works, such as "Die Verwandlung" ("The Metamorphosis"), "Der Prozess" ("The Trial"), and "Das Schloss" ("The Castle"), are filled with the themes and archetypes of alienation, physical and psychological brutality, parent–child conflict, characters on a terrifying quest, labyrinths of bureaucracy, and mystical transformations. Kafka was born into a middle-class, German-speaking Jewish family in Prague, then part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. In his lifetime, most of the population of Prague spoke Czech, and the division between Czech- and German-speaking people was a tangible reality, as both groups were strengthening their national identity. The Jewish community often found itself in between the two sentiments, naturally raising questions about a place to which one belongs. Kafka himself was fluent in both languages, considering German his mother tongue. Kafka trained as a lawyer and, after completing his legal education, obtained employment with an insurance company. He began to write short stories in his spare time. For the rest of his life, he complained about the little time he had to devote to what he came to regard as his calling. He regretted having to devote so much attention to his "Brotberuf" ("day job", literally "bread job"). Kafka preferred to communicate by letter; he wrote hundreds of letters to family and close female friends, including his father, his fiancée Felice Bauer, and his youngest sister Ottla. He had a complicated and troubled relationship with his father that had a major effect on his writing. He also suffered conflict over being Jewish, feeling that it had little to do with him, although critics argue that it influenced his writing.This collection contains the following works:- The Metamorphosis- A Country Doctor- A Hunger Artist- A Report for an Academy- An Imperial Message- Before the Law- In the Penal Colony- Jackals and Arabs- The Great Wall of China- The Hunter Gracchus- The Trial- Up in the Gallery

Pornind de la celebra sentin?? dostoievskian? – ?Dac? Dumnezeu nu exist?, atunci totul este permis" – unii au depl?ns declinul autorit??ilor religioase ?i al idealurilor morale, iar al?ii au conchis c? singurul principiu de via?? care ne r?m?ne este cel al luptei pentru supravie?uire, observ? Fromm. Ca r?spuns la bulversarea valorilor din secolul trecut, cartea de fa?? aduce argumente filosofice ?i socio-psihanalitice pentru o ?ntoarcere a omului la sine, pentru o nou? "art? de a tr?i". Etica "umanist?", propus? de Fromm, se vrea o alternativ? la etica "autoritar?", motivat? de culp? ?i supunere tem?toare. Noua moral? se va ghida, astfel, dup? gradul ?n care reu?im s? ne actualiz?m poten?ialul - acesta va fi criteriul ?n func?ie de care vom decide ce ne este permis sau interzis din punct de vedere moral. C?ci, ?n loc de a ne trata propria persoan? ca pe o marf? (dup? cum ne ?ncurajeaz? "orientarea mercantil?" de ast?zi), menirea noastr? va fi s? ne realiz?m poten?ialul. "Binele" este, astfel, redefinit ca afirmare a vie?ii ?i actualizare a posibilit??ilor umane, iar "r?ul" este echivalat cu degradarea puterilor noastre omene?ti.?

Pride And Prejudice, the story of Mrs. Bennet's attempts to marry off her five daughters is one of the best-loved and most enduring classics in English literature. Excitement fizzes through the Bennet household at Longbourn in Hertfordshire when young, eligible Mr. Charles Bingley rents the fine house nearby. He may have sisters, but he also has male friends, and one of these—the haughty, and even wealthier, Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy—irks the vivacious Elizabeth Bennet, the second of the Bennet girls. She annoys him. Which is how we know they must one day marry. The romantic clash between the opinionated Elizabeth and Darcy is a splendid rendition of civilized sparring. As the characters dance a delicate quadrille of flirtation and intrigue, Jane Austen's radiantly caustic wit and keen observation sparkle.

"It was time then for action, and Lefty Joe prepared for the descent into the home of the enemy. Let it not be thought that he approached this moment with a fallen heart, and with a cringing, snaky feeling as a man might be expected to feel when he approached to murder a sleeping foeman. For that was not Lefty's emotion at all. Rather he was overcome by a tremendous happiness. He could have sung with joy at the thought that he was about to rid himself of this pest."

Eski Yunan’da, ?air Homeros’un yazd??? varsay?lan büyük bir destand?r. Bir ba?ka Homeros destan? olan ?deysseia ile birlikte, bat? edebiyat?n?n en eski ?rne?i ve tüm zamanlar?n en güzel ?iirlerinden say?l?r. Hem ?lyada hem de Oysseisa, Truva Sava?? ve bu sava?ta yer alan insanlarla ilgili s?ylenceleri dile getiren, ko?ukla yaz?lm?? destanlard?r. Tarih?iler Yunanistan’tandaki Akhalar ile Bat? Anadolu’da ya?am?? olan Truval?lar aras?ndaki bu sava??n yakla??k I.O. 1199’da ge?ti?i g?rü?ündedir. Akhalar’?n Truva’y? ku?atmalar?n?n ise 10 y?l sürdü?ü san?lmaktad?r. Bu konuda o kadar ?ok ?ykü ve s?ylence vard?r ki, hangisinin ger?ek hangisinin uydurma oldu?unu bilme olana?? yoktur. Yunanca’da Truva’n?n bir ad?n?n da ?lios olmas?ndan dolay? Homeros’un destan? ?lyada ad?n? ald?. Homeros, ya?ad??? d?nemde herkesin bu ?yküyü bildi?ini dü?ünerek, Truva ku?atmas?n? ba?tan sona anlatmaz; sava??n 10. y?l?nda sadece d?rt gün i?inde ge?en olaylar? anlat?r. Sava? neredeyse bitmek üzeredir. Truva efsanesinin bu b?lümü "As?l’?n ?fkesi" olarak bilinir. ?lyada’n?n ?yküsü: Kral Agamemnon, Truva Sava?? s?ras?nda Akhalar’?n ba?komutan?yd?. Kral?n en yi?it ve bas?na buyruk sava???s? olan As?l, kimseye boyun e?meden, kendi bildi?ince hareket ediyordu. As?l’?n sava?ta ka??rd??? Briseis ad?nda Truvali bir k?z yüzünden As?l ile Agamemnon aras?nda anla?mazl?k ??kt?. Tutsa?? olan bir k?z? babas?na geri vermeye raz? olan Agamemnon, onun yerine As?l’?n sevdi?i Briseis’i istiyordu. Agamemnon’a boyun e?mek zorunda kalan As?l, k?z? ona verdi. Ne var ki, h?rs?n? alamayarak sava?tan ?ekildi. Agamemnon’u cezaland?rmas? i?in, deniz tanr??as? olan annesi Theti?’i ?a??rd?. Theti?, tanr?lar?n kral? Zeus’tan yard?m istedi. B?ylece ?ok ge?meden yaln?zca As?l ve Agamemnon de?il, tanr? ve tanr??alarda kavgaya kar??t?. Tanr?lar?n ise kar??mas? Yunan askerlerini tela?land?rd?. Agamemnon, g?rdü?ü bir dü?e aldanarak, ordusuna art?k Yunanistan’a d?nülece?ini bildirdi. Askerlerin Truva’y? ele ge?irmeden d?nmek istemeyeceklerini sanarken, onlar?n gitmeye can att?klar?n? g?rmek onu dü? k?r?kl???na u?ratt?. Yunanl? komutanlar orduyu yeniden sava? düzenine sokmakta gü?lük ?ektiler. Bütün bu olaylar Yunan ordusunun sava? gücünü ve birli?ini zay?flatm??t?. ?ki ordu aras?nda sava? yeniden ba?larken, Paris’in karde?i Hektor, sava??n nedeni Paris’in Sparta Kral? Menelaos’un kar?s? Helen ‘i ka??rmas? oldu?una g?re, anla?mazl???n Paris ile Menelaos aras?nda d?vü?le ??zümlenmesini ?nerdi. Bu d?vü?te tam Paris yenilecekken, annesi olan tanr??a Afrodit onu son anda ka??rarak kurtard?. B?ylece ordular aras?nda bir kez daha sava? ba?lad?.

Demersul Antoanetei Olteanu, reputat? traduc?toare de limba rus? ?iexpert? ?n istoria cultural? a Rusiei, se distinge at?t prin calitatea informa?iilor, adesea inedite, c?t ?i prin compozi?ia complex?, care ?mbin? viziunea sintetic? cu o perspectiv? transcultural? exersat?. Cartea se recomand? de la sine at?t cititorului profesionist, care g?se?te aici o serie de date altfel greu accesibile, c?t ?i celui interesat de istoria ?i cultura Europei ?n ansamblu. Dup? cum anun?? ?i subtitlul, lucrarea reconstituie o istorie cultural? a secolului al XIX-lea, realiz?nd, ?n fapt, o fresc? a uneia dintre cele mai captivante perioade din istoria Rusiei, cea imperial?. Datele prezentate acoper? practic toate Aspectele vie?ii politice, sociale, economice ?i culturale ale acestui interval de timp, marcat at?t de aura ?arilor, c?t ?i de nenum?ratele revolte populare. Tabloul evenimentelor majore este ?ntregit cu minu?ioase inventare de titluri nobiliare, cu date economice consemnate cu acribie, cu o expunere vie a panoramei cutumelor sociale, familiale ?i religioase, merg?nd de la modalit??ile de confec?ionare a juc?riilor sau a bijuteriilor p?n? la istorii ale ceaiului sau vodcii. Atmosfera epocii cap?t? un contur des?v?r?it prin citarea unor fragmente din lucr?ri ?tiin?ifice de referin??, din jurnalele de c?l?torie ?i din publicistica vremii, dar ?i din operele marilor scriitori ai vremii, ca Dostoievski, Gogol ?i Tolstoi. Se contureaz?, astfel, o imagine neconven?ional? a Rusiei, o na?iune confruntat? permanent cu tensiunea unei alegeri fundamentale, care pune ?n opozi?ie modelul str?in ?i inegalabila for?? intern?. Autoarei ?i revine meritul de a fi surprins aspectele esen?iale ale acestei tensiuni, cu ample ecouri ?n perioadamodern? ?i cu evidente efecte asupra mentalit??ii contemporane.

"Le bon père achevait de dire sa messe, quand on lui amena les prisonniers. C'était dans un coin sauvage des monts Arichulégui. Une roche éboulée, où un figuier géant enfon?ait sa tige tordue, formait une sorte d'autel recouvert – en guise de nappe – d'un étendard carliste aux franges d'argent."

"Samedi, soir de paye. Dans cette fin de journée, qui est en même temps une fin de semaine, on sent déjà le dimanche arriver. Tout le long du faubourg, ce sont des cris, des appels, des poussées à la porte des cabarets. Parmi cette foule d'ouvriers qui déborde du trottoir et suit la grande chaussée en pente, une petite ombre se h?te furtivement, remontant le faubourg en sens inverse."

Half way up the side of a tall tree there was a round hole in the trunk. The hole was lined with soft, dried leaves, and bits of white, fluffy cotton, from the milkweed plant. And, if you looked very carefully at the hole, you might see, peering from it, a little head, like that of a very small kitten, and a pair of very bright eyes.??But it was not a kitten that looked from the little hole in the trunk of the tree. Kitties can climb trees, but they do not like to live in them. They would rather have a warm place behind the stove, with a nice saucer of milk.??Now if I tell you that the little creatures who lived in this hole-nest had big, fluffy tails, and that they could sit up on their hind legs, and eat nuts, I am sure you can guess what they were.??Squirrels! That’s it! In the nest, half way up the big tree in the woods, lived a family of gray squirrels, and I am going to tell you about them, or, rather, more particularly, about one of the little girl squirrels whose name was Slicko.
