Le Mythe de Sisyphe：西西弗神话(法文版)(赠送法文朗读音频免费下载)
￥2.99
这本随笔集汇集了作家的四篇文章——《荒诞推理》、《荒诞人》、《荒诞创作》和《西西弗的神话》。《西西弗的神话》篇幅短，却是一篇提纲挈领、体现加缪思想要义的文章。他指出：“西西弗斯是荒诞英雄。既出于他的激情，也出于他的困苦。”“在他离开山顶的每个瞬息，在他渐渐潜入诸神巢穴的每分每秒，他超越了自己的命运。他比他推的石头更坚强。”其他几篇长文，实际上是从各个侧面充分阐述和充实了加缪的这些思想。 哲学散文集《西西弗的神话》是加缪存在主义思想的集中体现。在这部散文集中，作家集中处理了死亡与反抗、幸福与悲剧、存在与拯救、人生的荒谬与荒诞性等一系列重要哲学命题。其中，西西弗这一古老的神话形象是整部随笔集的核心所在。
La Chute:堕落(法文版)
￥2.99
主要说的是欧洲文明及其知识分子的堕落，尤其是某些加缪颇有微词的左翼知识分子。关于《堕落》，萨特曾经说过，这也许是加缪“美的，也不被人理解的一本书”。自《堕落》问世以来，评论界中有人认为这是加缪的自述，有人认为是加缪的忏悔，有人认为是加缪对存在主义者的清算。自述、忏悔、清算，三者之间当然有一种微妙的差别，但其内涵则可能是同一种东西，因此，评论界一致的意见是：《堕落》一书的写作和加缪与萨特1951年围绕着《反抗者》所进行的论战有关系。
L'?tranger：异乡人(法文版)(赠送法文朗读音频免费下载)
￥2.99
书中主角是莫梭（Meursault），一个冷漠的法国阿尔及利亚人，他冷漠地参加了其母亲的葬礼。几天后，他杀死了一名阿尔及尔的阿拉伯男子，之后被审判并被判处死刑。故事分为两部分，以莫梭之人称叙事。加缪于1955年1月总结，《异乡人》中的主角是摆脱社会习俗的英雄：“我很久以前就用一个说法总结过‘异乡人’，但我承认它非常自相矛盾：‘在我们的社会中，任何不会在母亲的葬礼上哭泣的男人都有可能被判处死刑。’我只是意味著我的书中的英雄被谴责，仅因他不遵循这个道德常规。” 异乡人的版，共印4400本，并不是即时就畅销。但这部小说之后很受欢迎，部分原因是因为让-保罗·萨特的文章《分析异乡人》（Explication de L'Etranger）此小说长期是20世纪现实主义或者存在主义文学之经典，译成许多其他语言。此小说在世界报20世纪百大书籍中排名。
Sons ＆ Lovers - Recklessness is almost a man's revenge on his woman.
￥23.45
DH Lawrence's Sons and Lovers is a must-read classic that deals with family relations in a typical Freudian fashion. In fact, the book tells the story of the very strong attachment of two sons, William and Paul Morel, to their mother. As the boys grow older and start dating women, they both find difficulties to establish serious and lasting love relationships with their partners. They are never satisfied with the girls' personalities and often complain about their superficiality and ostensible nature while their affairs never reach beyond passion and mere physical gratification. Being often considered as an autobiographical novel in which Lawrence explores aspects of his own personal life, the narrative presents the boys' mother as their ultimate example of the perfect woman, an example that cannot be attained by the women they happen to meet. After William's sudden death, the mother's hold on Paul is further reinforced. She is now jealous of her second son's mistress and engages in a campaign to separate them. As expected, the son never succeeds in disentangling himself from his mother's apron strings. After the mother's death, the end of the novel depicts a lost and lonely Paul with no hopes or aspirations.

￥23.45
John Griffith ＆quote;Jack＆quote; London was born John Griffith Chaney on January 12th, 1876 in San Francisco. His father, William Chaney, was living with his mother Flora Wellman when she became pregnant. Chaney insisted she have an abortion. Flora's response was to turn a gun on herself. Although her wounds were not severe the trauma made her temporarily deranged. In late 1876 his mother married John London and the young child was brought to live with them as they moved around the Bay area, eventually settling in Oakland where Jack completed grade school. Jack also worked hard at several jobs, sometimes 12-18 hours a day, but his dream was university. He was lent money for that and after intense studying enrolled in the summer of 1896 at the University of California in Berkeley. In 1897, at 21 , Jack searched out newspaper accounts of his mother's suicide attempt and the name of his biological father. He wrote to William Chaney, then living in Chicago. Chaney said he could not be London's father because he was impotent; and casually asserted that London's mother had relations with other men. Jack, devastated by the response, quit Berkeley and went to the Klondike. Though equally because of his continuing dire finances Jack might have taken that as the excuse he needed to leave. In the Klondike Jack began to gather material for his writing but also accumulated many health problems, including scurvy, hip and leg problems many of which he then carried for life. By the late 1890's Jack was regularly publishing short stories and by the turn of the century full blown novels. By 1904 Jack had married, fathered two children and was now in the process of divorcing. A stint as a reporter on the Russo-Japanese war of 1904 was equal amounts trouble and experience. But that experience was always put to good use in a remarkable output of work. Twelve years later Jack had amassed a wealth of writings many of which remain world classics. He had a reputation as a social activist and a tireless friend of the workers. And yet on November 22nd 1916 Jack London died in a cottage on his ranch at the age of only 40. Here we present Love Of Life & Other Stories.

Dr Faustus - Hell is just a frame of mind.
￥9.32
In this foundational classic play, Christopher Marlowe beautifully retells the legend of Doctor Faustus in a masterful combination of verse and prose. The celebrated moral of the play is about how excessive ambition and unlimited lust for knowledge and power lead to self-destruction and damnation. The protagonist in the story is a talented lower-class man who is obsessed with the study of sciences and the secrets of life. His excessive academic ambition and his reliance solely on logic and reason lead him to cogitate about the nature of the world and its existence and to question the utility of the "e;doctrine of Divinity."e; Unsatisfied with the knowledge that pure and experimental sciences can offer, he eventually decides to explore the curious world of Black Magic. Through the recital of a strange incantation, Faustus succeeds in summoning a devil called Mephistopheles who informs him that he will only obey his orders once a pact is signed between Faustus and the devil's master: Lucifer. The pact is signed by Faustus' own blood and stipulates that in return of Mephistopheles' services, which unexpectedly turn to be unworthy by the end, he must give his soul over to Lucifer. The denouement of the play opens the floor for different speculations about Faustus' damnation or salvation.
Playboy Of The Western World
￥20.60
In 1896 JM Synge met W. B. Yeats, who encouraged Synge to live for a while in the Aran Islands and then return to Dublin and devote himself to creative work. In 1897 Synge suffered his first attack of Hodgkin's disease, a form of untreatable cancer at the time, and also had an enlarged gland removed from his neck. In 1898, he spent his first summer on the Aran Islands and then continued for the next five collecting stories and folklore and perfecting his Irish but continued to live in Paris for the rest of the year. During this period, Synge wrote his first play, When The Moon Has Set. In 1903, Synge left Paris and moved to London. He had written two one-act plays, Riders to the Sea and The Shadow of the Glen the previous year. The Shadow of the Glen was performed at the Molesworth Hall in October 1903. Riders to the Sea was performed at the same venue in February the following year. The play widely regarded as his masterpiece, The Playboy of the Western World, was first performed in the Abbey on 26 January 1907. The comedy attracted a hostile reaction from the Irish public and thereafter a riot ensued. Described as "e;an unmitigated, protracted libel upon Irish peasant men, and worse still upon Irish girlhood"e;. Yeats returned from Scotland to address the crowd on the second night, and decided to call in the police. Press opinion soon turned against the rioters and the protests petered out. Synge died of Hodgkin's disease just weeks short of his 38th birthday on March 24th 1909 trying to complete his last play, Deirdre Of The Sorrows. He was buried in Mount Jerome Graveyard, Dublin.

Lady Inger (1857)
￥23.45
Henrik Ibsen (20th March, 1828 - 23rd May, 1906) is often referred to as the father of realism and ranked just below Shakespeare as Europe's greatest ever playwright especially as his plays are performed most frequently throughout the world after Shakespeare's. He was Norwegian and although set his plays in Norway, he wrote them in Danish and lived most of his professional life in Italy and Germany. His affect on the theatre is still evident today and shapes the distinction of plays being art as opposed to entertainment since he broke down all previous traditions and explored issues, developed characterisation, revealed uncomfortable truths, challenged assumptions and brokedown facades in ourselves as well as society. These factors are clearly demonstrated in Lady Inger of Ostrat, a historical play set in a period in history when Norway was struggling to retain independence and Norwegian literature was virtually non existent. Ibsen describes the era as "e;Four Hundred Years of Darkness"e; and his setting Lady Inger at this time was very much part of the patriotic Romantic Nationalism movement of the time, of which he was its most famous exponent. This play is a fine example of both the movement's intent, to reintroduce the near forgotten past of the previous four centuries providing a richer Norwegian culture, as well as Ibsen's poetic style that captures the scan and spirit of old Scandinavian songs and ballads so skilfully .
