Mare poet clasic, Co?buc ?i-a asigurat locul printre marii creatori: Eminescu, Creang?, Caragiale, Slavici, prin con?inutul na?ional al operei sale, prin cultivarea ?i frecventarea clasicilor, prin puritatea expresiei ?i claritatea stilului, prin promovarea idealului de frumuse?e echilibrat?, ?n general prin ?nnoirea limbii poetice. Co?buc este – unanim recunoscut – un mare clasic al versului rom?nesc. Poet al naturii ?i al omului de la ?ar?, al exuberan?ei juvenile, al iubirii, al revoltei ?i luptei, al b?rb??iei, Co?buc ?nscrie una din cele mai pre?ioase experien?e ale literelor rom?ne?ti, ?ntr-un moment de r?scruce, c?nd, prin scrierile unei pletore de pseudoeminescieni, se crease ?n poezia noastr? o stare deprimant?, maladiv?, din care se p?rea c? nu exist? perspective de ie?ire spre un liman s?n?tos. ?n acest climat de mal de siecle, de Wetschmerz r?sare nea?teptat de viguros ?i nou George Co?buc, redres?nd poezia rom?neasc?, aduc?nd noi orizonturi, noi sensuri, noi valori artistice.

Si intr-adevar Vlaicu-Voda intruneste toate cerintele unei drame menite sa ramana calitati literare si calitati dramatice. Autorul acestei drame e un adevarat poet care prin imagini noi si bogate prin cuvinte expresive stie sa zugraveasca oameni fapte locuri timpuri. Limba lui e o comoara pe care doar la Odobescu o mai intalnim imperecherea neologismelor cu arhaismele da o culoare delicata si in acelasi timp da putere de expresivitate frazei imperecherile acestea desigur le gasim si in Odobescu dar dl Davila a stiut sa le inmulteasca si sa le rafineze. Un patetism sincer firesc inalta parca si valoarea cuvintelor si a frazelor. Tiradele chiar cele mai lungi sunt cladite cu o arta de compozitie deplina cu o putere de convingere rara asa ca efectul lor e puternic inaltator. Emotia artistica cuprinde pe spectator si-l tine toata vremea cat aude vorbele intelepte/romanesti ale figurilor de pe scena. si pe urma sentintele cuminti neaose care sunt presarate aproape in fiecare replica. [...] Cu toate observatiile mai mult sau mai putin insemnate Vlaicu-Voda ramane o podoaba a literaturii noastre dramatice prin patetismul cald si comunicativ prin frumusetea limbii si a versurilor prin puterea de evocare a unei epoci framantate prin maiestria de amanunt cu care e construita prin efectele dramatice si prin patriotismul cald si cuminte ce transpira dintr-insa. Ca atare Vlaicu-Voda nu numai merita dar trebuie sa figureze totdeauna in repertoriul Teatrului National alaturi de dramele lui Alecsandri Caragiale Hasdeu si ale dlui Delavrancea – Liviu Rebreanu

Franta avu multi fabulisti nici unul insa nu ajunse pe La Fontaine si sa va spun eu pentru ce? Pentru ca fabula nu sufera secatura si umplutura; ea cere pe langa talent o armonie un stil simplu; ea e datoare sa spuna numai ce trebuie nici o silaba mai mult. Si cine avea mai multa armonie decat Donici! In bordei ca si in palat fabulele lui sunt citite si intelese. – Costache Negruzzi

Exist? numeroase idei preconcepute cu privire la psihanaliz? – c? este opera unui singur om, Sigmund Freud, ?i se practic? la fel ca acum un secol, psihanaliza este preocupat? doar de sexualitate, s-a demodat, c? este un fel de cult ezoteric ?n care trebuie s? fii ini?iat, ?i lista ar putea continua. ?n lucrarea de fa?? autorii prezint? ideile centrale ale celor mai reprezentativi psihanali?ti contemporani, oferind at?t o perspectiv? istoric? asupra ideilor psihanalitice, c?t ?i o compara?ie ?ntre diferitele curente. Plec?nd de la presupozi?ia c? cititorul nu este deloc familiarizat cu aceste teme, cartea ofer? o introducere ?n diferitele ?coli teoretice, explic?nd aspectele clinice la care acestea au fost receptive ?i c?teva dintre conceptele lor de baz?, precum ?i ilustr?ri clinice ale suferin?elor umane pe care aceste curente teoretice ?ncearc? s? le clarifice. Astfel, cititorul reu?e?te s? ?ntrevad? fragmentul de experien?? uman? ascuns ?n spatele conceptelor psihanalitice. Formul?rile ?n termeni psihanalitici devin formul?ri despre oameni reali, despre modul lor de a??i organiza experien?ele, despre dificult??ile pe care le ?nt?mpin? ?n via??.

Al treilea volum al seriei Clubul fetelor dependente de ciocolat? ?nc? o poveste delicioas? din seria Clubul fetelor dependente de ciocolat?, al?turi de Pasiunea lui Cherry ?i Cuf?rul lui Skye. Summer s-a visat dintotdeauna dansatoare ?i, c?nd apare un loc la ?coala de balet, ?i-l dore?te dureros de tare. Gimnaziul se termin? ?i ?ncepe vacan?a dar, spre deosebire de geam?na Skye ?i de celelalte surori, Summer nu are timp de petreceri pe plaj?.

All the other children who knew her thought Maggie a wonderfully fortunate little girl. She was sometimes spoken about as the "Little Princess of Tower Hill," for Tower Hill was the name of her father's place, and Maggie was his only child. ??The children in the village close by spoke of her with great respect, and looked at her with a good deal of longing and also no slight degree of envy, for while they had to run about in darned and shabby frocks, Maggie could wear the gayest and daintiest little dresses, and while they had to trudge sometimes even on little bare feet, Maggie could sit by her mother's side and be carried rapidly over the ground in a most delicious and luxurious carriage, or, better still, she might ride on her white pony Snowball, followed by a groom. The poor children envied Maggie, and admired her vastly, and the children of those people who, compared to Sir John Ascot, Maggie's father, might be considered neither rich nor poor, also thought her one of the most fortunate little girls in existence. Mag-gie was nearly eight years old, and from her very earliest days there had been a great fuss made about her. At the time of her birth bonfires had been lit, and oxen killed and roasted whole to be given away to the poor people, and Sir John and Lady Ascot did not seem at all disappointed at their baby being a girl instead of a son and heir to the old title and the fine old place. ??There was a most extraordinary fuss made over Maggie while she was a baby; her mother was never tired of visiting her grand nurseries and watching her as she lay asleep, or smiling at her and kissing her when she opened her big, bright blue eyes.

"Hast thou seen that lordly castle,?That castle by the sea??Golden and red above it?The clouds float gorgeously." ??Do you remember Gratian—Gratian Conyfer, the godson of the four winds, the boy who lived at the old farmhouse up among the moors, where these strange beautiful sisters used to meet? Do you remember how full of fancies and stories Gratian's little head was, and how sometimes he put them into words to please Fergus, the lame child he loved so much? ??The story I am now going to tell you is one of these. I think it was their favourite one. I can not say that it is in the very words in which Gratian used to tell it, for it was not till long, long after those boyish days that it came to be written down. But all the same it is his story. About Author: Mary Louisa Molesworth, née Stewart (1839 – 1921) was an English writer of children's stories who wrote for children under the name of Mrs Molesworth. Her first novels, for adult readers, Lover and Husband (1869) to Cicely (1874), appeared under the pseudonym of Ennis Graham. She was born in Rotterdam, a daughter of Charles Augustus Stewart (1809–1873) who later became a rich merchant in Manchester and his wife Agnes Janet Wilson (1810–1883). Mary had three brothers and two sisters. She was educated in Great Britain and Switzerland: much of her girlhood was spent in Manchester. In 1861 she married Major R. Molesworth, nephew of Viscount Molesworth; they legally separated in 1879. Mrs Molesworth is best known as a writer of books for the young, such as Tell Me a Story (1875), Carrots (1876), The Cuckoo Clock (1877), The Tapestry Room (1879), and A Christmas Child (1880). She has been called "the Jane Austen of the nursery," while The Carved Lions (1895) "is probably her masterpiece." In the judgement of Roger Lancelyn Green: Mary Louisa Molesworth typified late Victorian writing for girls. Aimed at girls too old for fairies and princesses but too young for Austen and the Brontes, books by Molesworth had their share of amusement, but they also had a good deal of moral instruction. The girls reading Molesworth would grow up to be mothers; thus, the books emphasized Victorian notions of duty and self-sacrifice. Typical of the time, her young child characters often use a lisping style, and words may be misspelt to represent children's speech—"jography" for geography, for instance.She took an interest in supernatural fiction. In 1888, she published a collection of supernatural tales under the title Four Ghost Stories, and in 1896 a similar collection of six tales under the title Uncanny Stories. In addition to those, her volume Studies and Stories includes a ghost story entitled "Old Gervais" and her Summer Stories for Boys and Girls includes "Not exactly a ghost story." A new edition of The Cuckoo Clock was published in 1914.

The Titan is a novel written by Theodore Dreiser in 1914. It is Dreiser's sequel to The Financier. Sometime after being released from prison, Frank invests in stocks subsequent to the Panic of 1873, and becomes a millionaire again. He decides to move out of Philadelphia and start a new life in the West. He moves to Chicago with Aileen and his attorney is finally able to persuade Lillian to agree to a divorce. Frank decides to take over the street-railway system. He bankrupts several opponents with the help of John J. McKenty and other political allies. Meanwhile, Chicago society finds out about his past in Philadelphia and the couple are no longer invited to dinner parties; after a while, the press turns on him too. Cowperwood is unfaithful many times. Aileen finds out about a certain Rita and beats her up. She gives up on him and has an affair with Polk Lynde, a man of privilege; she eventually loses faith in him. Meanwhile, Cowperwood meets young Berenice Fleming; by the end of the novel, he tells her he loves her and she consents to live with him. However, the ending is bittersweet as Cowperwood has not managed to obtain the fifty-year franchise for his railway schemes that he wanted.

Recuerdo que en cierta ocasión tuve en mis manos un ejemplar de la Gaceta Imperial de Pekín, y al revolver sus finas hojas de papel de arroz, entre las apretadas columnas de misteriosos caracteres, sólo encontré dos anuncios comprensibles por sus grabados: el que llaman vulgarmente tío del bacalao, ó sea el marinero que lleva á sus espaldas un enorme pez, pregonando las excelencias de la Emulsión Scott, y una botella de largo cuello con la etiqueta ?Vichy-?tat?. Pocas empresas en el mundo habrán hecho la propaganda que la Compa?ía Arrendataria de las aguas de Vichy. Circulan por las calles de la peque?a y elegante ciudad francesa los pesados carromatos cargados de cajones, camino de la estación del ferrocarril. Marchan las botellas alineadas en apretadas filas al salir de Vichy, para luego esparcirse como una esperanza de salud. ?Adonde van?... ? ?AUTOR: Vicente Blasco Ibanez nacio el 29 de enero de 1867 en Valencia (Espana). Era hijo de Ramona Ibanez y del comerciante Gaspar Blanco. Estudio Derecho en la Universidad de Valencia. Participo en la politica uniendose al Partido Republicano". En 1894 fundo el periodico El pueblo. En el ano 1896, fue detenido y condenado a varios meses de prision. En 1889 contrajo matrimonio con Maria Blasco del Cacho, hija del magistrado Rafael Blasco y Moreno. Cuando subio al poder Canovas del Castillo, el escritor se exilio brevemente en la ciudad de Paris. Fue un autor vinculado en muchos aspectos al naturalismo frances. Por otra parte, la explicita intencion politicosocial de algunas de las novelas de Blasco Ibanez, aunada al escaso bagaje intelectual del autor, lo mantuvo alejado de los representantes de la Generacion del 98. Murio el 28 de enero de 1928 en Menton (Francia)a los 60 anos. Entre sus titulos destacan: "Arroz y Tartana" (1894), "La Barraca" (1898), "Entre Naranjos (1900), "Canas y Barro" (1902), "La Horda" (1905), "Sangre y Arena" (1908) o "Los Cuatro Jinetes Del Apocalipsis" (1916).

Randolph Caldecott (1846 – 1886) was an English artist and illustrator, born in Chester. The Caldecott Medal was named in his honour. He exercised his art chiefly in book illustrations. His abilities as an artist were promptly and generously recognised by the Royal Academy. Caldecott gre-atly influenced illustration of children's books during the nineteenth century. Two books illustrated by him, priced at a shilling each, were published every Christmas for eight years. Caldecott also illustrated novels and accounts of foreign travel, made humorous drawings depicting hunting and fashionable life, drew cartoons and he made sketches of the Houses of Parliament inside and out, and exhibited sculptures and paintings in oil and watercolour in the Royal Academy and galleries. After six years at Whitchurch, Caldecott moved to the head office in Manchester of the Manchester & Salford Bank. He lodged variously in Aberdeen Street, Rusholme Grove and at Bowdon. He took the opportunity to study at night school at the Manchester School of Art and practised continually, with success in local papers and some London publications. It was a habit of his at this time, which he maintained all his life, to decorate his letters, papers and documents of all descriptions with marginal sketches to illustrate the content or provide amusement. A number of his letters have been reprinted with their illustrations in Yours Pictorially, a book edited by Michael Hutchings. In 1870, a painter friend in London, Thomas Armstrong, put Caldecott in touch with Henry Blackburn, the editor of London Society, who published a number of his drawings in several issues of the monthly magazine. Encouraged by this evidence of his ability to support him-self by his art, Caldecott decided to quit his job and move to London; this he did in 1872 at the age of 26. Within two years he had become a successful magazine illustrator working on commission. His work included individual sketches, illustrations of other articles and a series of illustrations of a holiday which he and Henry Blackburn took in the Harz Mountains in Germany. The latter became the first of a number of such series.

ELIZABETH was about three years old at the death of her mother. She was a princess, but she was left in a very forlorn and desolate condition. She was not, however, entirely abandoned. Her claims to inherit the crown had been set aside, but then she was, as all admitted, the daughter of the king, and she must, of course, be the object of a certain degree of consideration and ceremony. It would be entirely inconsistent with the notions of royal dignity which then prevailed to have her treated like an ordinary child.??Next came Elizabeth, who was about fourteen years of age. She was the daughter of the king's second wife, Queen Anne Boleyn. She had been educated a Protestant. She was not pretty, but was a very lively and sprightly child, altogether different in her cast of character and in her manners from her sister Mary.??Then, lastly, there was Edward, the son of Jane Seymour, the third queen. He was about nine years of age at his father's death. He was boy of good character, mild and gentle in his position, fond of study and reflection, and a general favorite with all who knew him.

THERE are numerous time-honored stories which have become so incorporated into the literature and thought of our race that a knowledge of them is an indispensable part of one's education. These stories are of several different classes. To one class belong the popular fairy tales which have delighted untold generations of children, and will continue to delight them to the end of time. To another class belong the limited number of fables that have come down to us through many channels frorn hoar antiquity. To a third belong the charming stories of olden times that are derived from the literatures of ancient peoples, such as the Greeks and the Hebrews. A fourth class includes the half-legendary tales of a distinctly later origin, which have for their subjects certain romantic episodes in the lives of well-known heroes and famous men, or in the history of a people.??It is to this last class that most of the fifty stories contained in the present volume belong. As a matter of course, some of these stories are better known, and therefore more famous, than others. Some have a slight historical value; some are useful as giving point to certain great moral truths; others are products solely of the fancy, and are intended only to amuse. Some are derived from very ancient sources, and are current in the literature of many lands; some have come to us through the ballads and folk tales of the English people.

Cinderella, or "The Little Glass Slipper", is a folk tale embodying a myth-element of unjust oppression/triumphant reward. Thousands of variants are known throughout the world. The title character is a young woman living in unfortunate circumstances, that are suddenly changed to remarkable fortune. The oldest documented version comes from China, and the oldest European version from Italy. The most popular version was first published by Charles Perrault in Histoires ou contes du temps passé in 1697, and later by the Brothers Grimm in their folk tale collection Grimms' Fairy Tales. Although the story's title and main character's name change in different languages, in English-language folklore "Cinderella" is the archetypal name. The word "Cinderella" has, by analogy, come to mean one whose attributes were unrecognized, or one who unexpectedly achieves recognition or success after a period of obscurity and neglect. The still-popular story of "Cinderella" continues to influence popular culture internationally, lending plot elements, allusions, and tropes to a wide variety of media. ONCE there was a gentleman who married, for his second wife, the proudest and most haughty woman that was ever seen. She had, by a former husband, two daughters of her own humour and they were indeed exactly like her in all things. He had likewise, by another wife, a young daughter, but of unparalleled goodness and sweetness of temper, which she took from her mother, who was the best creature in the world. No sooner were the ceremonies of the wedding over, but the stepmother began to shew herself in her colours. She could not bear the good qualities of this pretty girl; and the less, because they made her own daughters appear the more odious. She employed her in the meanest work of the house; she scoured the dishes, tables, &c. and rubbed Madam's chamber, and those of Misses, her daughters; she lay up in a sorry garret, upon a wretched straw-bed, while her sisters lay in fine rooms, with floors all inlaid, upon beds of the very newest fashion, and where they had looking-glasses so large, that they might see themselves at their full length, from head to foot.
