Pentru Lucio Battistini, aceasta e ?ansa de a-?i petrece restul vie?ii a?a cum ar fi trebuit mereu s? o fac? – pre?uind fiecare moment. Îi plac femeile, are multe defecte, dar ?i mult farmec personal – simpaticul Lucio Battistini a fost dat afar? din cas? de so?ie ?i doarme într-o înc?pere din spatele cofet?riei pe care o de?ine socrul s?u. Îns? vestea c? are o tumoare malign? inoperabil? îi schimb? complet perspectiva asupra vie?ii. Astfel încep cele o sut? de zile pe care le mai are de tr?it: Lucio se hot?r??te s? aib? grij? de familia sa, s?-?i recucereasc? so?ia ?i s?-?i petreac? urm?toarele trei luni tr?ind la intensitate maxim?. Alc?tuit din 100 de capitole scurte, unul pentru fiecare zi care i-a mai r?mas de tr?it lui Lucio, O sut? de zile de fericire e delicios ca o gogoa?? fierbinte ?i un cappuccino. Impregnat? de melancolie, umor ?i duio?ie, cartea lui Fausto Brizzi ne aminte?te tuturor c? via?a e nepre?uit? ?i c? fiecare clip? conteaz?. Un roman despre fericire ?i moarte. Mai precis, un roman despre ce se poate face cu ultimele o sut? de zile de via??, în care protagonistul ia o hot?râre foarte clar?: aceea de a fi fericit. Singurul s?u regret este acela c? va trebui s? moar? pentru a începe s? tr?iasc?. – Repubblica O num?r?toare invers?.

IN the far-off days when Dante lived, those who wrote books wrote them in the Latin tongue. Dante himself wrote the first seven cantos of his great poem in Latin. But like many another poet, he was not satisfied with his first attempt. He flung the seven Latin cantos aside and seemingly forgot all about them, for when he was banished from Florence the poem he had begun was not among his treasures. His wife, however, found the seven cantos and tossed them into a bag among her jewels. Then she also seemed to forget all about them. Five years later a nephew of Dante chanced to find the long-forgotten verses. He at once sent them to his uncle, who was still living in exile. When Dante received the cantos he had written so long ago, he believed that their recovery was a sign from Heaven that he should complete the great poem he had begun. He therefore set to work afresh, but this time he wrote, not in Latin, but in his own beautiful mother-tongue, which was, as you know, Italian. When at length the great poem was finished, Dante named it simply, "The Comedy," and it was not until many years after his de-ath that the title was changed into "The Divine Comedy." A comedy was a tale which might be as sad as tale could be, so only that it ended in gladness.In "The Divine Comedy," then, about which this little book tells, you may expect to find much that is sad, much that is terrible. Yet you may be certain that before the end of the tale you will find in it gladness and joy..

An extremely unhappy ten-year-old magically escapes into a city he has built out of books, chessmen, candlesticks, and other household items.

It's startling enough to have a Phoenix hatch in your house, but even more startling when it reveals you have a magic carpet on the floor. Conceited it may be, but the Phoenix is also good-hearted, and obligingly accompanies the children on their adventures through time and space-which, magic being what it is, rarely turn out as they were meant...

'The Phoenix on the Sword' is a story in the Conan series where he foils a plot to overthrow him as King of Aquilonia. Robert Ervin Howard was born in Peaster, Texas in 1906. During his youth, his family moved between a variety of Texan boomtowns, and Howard – a bookish and somewhat introverted child – was steeped in the violent myths and legends of the Old South. At fifteen Howard began to read the pulp magazines of the day, and to write more seriously. The December 1922 issue of his high school newspaper featured two of his stories, 'Golden Hope Christmas' and 'West is West'. In 1924 he sold his first piece – a short caveman tale titled 'Spear and Fang' – for $16 to the not-yet-famous Weird Tales magazine. Howard's most famous character, Conan the Cimmerian, was a barbarian-turned-King during the Hyborian Age, a mythical period of some 12,000 years ago. Conan featured in seventeen Weird Tales stories between 1933 and 1936 which is why Howard is now regarded as having spawned the 'sword and sorcery' genre. The Conan stories have since been adapted many times, most famously in the series of films starring Arnold Schwarzenegger.Other Books of Howard:The Hour of the Dragon (1936)The Hyborian Age (1930)People of the Dark (1932)Gods of the North (1934)Beyond the Black River (1935)A Witch Shall be Born (1934)The Scarlet Citadel (1933)Black Colossus (1933)Queen of the Black Coast (1934)Jewels of Gwahlur (1935)

When a young pair of newlyweds settle down into a small cottage in a quiet village, they look forward to a pleasant, pastoral life of domestic bliss. The husband, a practical man, dismisses the superstitious maid's tale of an ancient curse about the local church's marble statues who come to life each year on All Saint's Eve to wreak revenge. But then, on the fateful night, he discovers that the stone slabs on which the knights rest are empty. Is his young bride in peril?

The story's title character is a man who somehow always seems to get what he wants. John makes up his mind to marry May Forster, the prettiest young woman in the village. After John asks her to marry him several times, May finally agrees. John says that his love for May is so great that he would come back from the dead if that was what she wanted him to do. Two days before his wedding, John leaves to visit his seriously ill godfather. May begs him not to go because she has a feeling that something bad will happen. John reassures her that nothing will prevent him from arriving at his wedding on time

Kapitalist üretim tarz?n?n egemen oldu?u toplumlar?n zenginli?i, "muazzam bir meta birikimi" olarak kendini g?sterir, bunun birimi tek bir metad?r. Ara?t?rmalar?m?z?n, bu nedenle, meta?n tahlili ile ba?lamas? gerekir. Meta, her ?eyden ?nce, bizim d???m?zda bir nesnedir ve, ta??d??? ?zellikleriyle, ?u ya da bu türden insan gereksinmelerini gideren bir ?eydir. Bu gereksinmelerin niteli?i, ?rne?in ister mideden, ister hayalden ??km?? olsun, bir ?ey de?i?tirmez. Burada nesnenin, bu gereksinmeleri, ge?im arac? olarak do?rudan do?ruya m?, yoksa üretim arac? olarak dolayl? yoldan m?, nas?l giderdi?i de bizi ilgilendirmemektedir. Demir, ka??t vb. gibi her yararl? ?eye, iki g?rü? a??s?ndan, nitelik ve nicelik a??s?ndan bak?labilir. Her yararl? ?ey, bir?ok ?zelliklerin bir bütünüdür ve bunun i?in ?e?itli y?nlerden yararl? olabilir. ?eylerin ?e?itli kullan?mlar?n? bulup ortaya ??karmak tarihin i?idir. Yararl? nesnelerin niceli?ini ?l?mek i?in toplumca benimsenen ?l?üleri saptamak da b?yledir. Bu ?l?ülerin farkl? olu?unun nedeni, k?smen ?l?ülecek nesnelerin niteliklerinin farkl? olu?u, k?smen de al??kanl?klard?r. Bir ?eyin yararl?l???, onu, bir kullan?m-de?eri haline getirir. Ama bu yararl?l?k, belirsiz bir ?ey de?ildir. Meta?n fiziksel ?zellikleriyle s?n?rl? oldu?u i?in, o, metadan ayr? bir varl??a sahip de?ildir. Demir olsun, bu?day olsun ya da elmas olsun, bir meta, bu nedenle, maddi bir ?ey oldu?u i?in, bir kullan?m-de?eridir, yararl? bir ?eydir. Meta?n bu ?zelli?i, o meta?n yararl? niteliklerinden yararlanmak i?in gerekli olan emek miktar?na ba??ml? de?ildir. Karl Marx, “Das Kapital’i bundan yakla??k 150 y?l ?nce yazd?.

ONCE upon a time, a long while ago—in fact long before Egypt had risen to power and before Rome or Greece had ever been heard of—and that was some time before you were born, you know—there was a king who reigned over a very large and powerful kingdom. Now this king was rather old, he had founded his kingdom himself, and he had reigned over it nine hundred and ninety-nine and a half years already. As I have said before, it was a very large kingdom, for it contained, among other things, the whole of the western half of the world. The rest of the world was divided into smaller kingdoms, and each kingdom was ruled over by separate princes, who, however, were none of them so old as Intafernes, as he was called.

Much has been explored about Shakespeare and his life, but little is known about how this small-town boy with a grammar-school education came to pen masterworks like Hamlet and King Lear. In Meet William Shakespeare, playwright J. Ajlouny creates authentic and plausible explanations that answer centuries-old questions about the man and his work. The result is an educational and fun portrait of Shakespeare, as told by The Bard himself.
