Hamlet is commonly regarded as one of the greatest plays ever written. Drawing on Danish chronicles and the Elizabethan vogue for revenge tragedy, Shakespeare created a play that is at once a philosophic treatise, a family drama, and a supernatural thriller. In the wake of his father’s death, Prince Hamlet finds that his Uncle Claudius has swiftly taken the throne and married his mother, Queen Gertrude. The ghost of the dead king then appears and charges Claudius with ‘murder most foul.’ Hamlet is called to revenge his father’s death: but will he be able to act before it is too late?

One of the true classics of American literature, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz has stirred the imagination of young and old alike for over four generations.?This is probably one of the most beautiful digital version ever made of this story, containing over 100 gorgeous illustrations.?The story chronicles the adventures of a girl named Dorothy Gale in the Land of Oz. As Baum says in the introduction "It aspires to being a modernized fairy tale, in which the wonderment and joy are retained and the heartaches and nightmares are left out." And it succeeds wonderfully. It is one of the best-known stories in American popular culture and has been widely translated.

Tárna Barni tizenkettedik születésnapja nem kezd?dik valami jól. Reggel zuhogó es?ben kell megsétáltatnia a kutyát. Egy újabb rémes iskolai nap vár rá, mert a suliban gonosz osztálytársa, Ged? meg az a hátborzongató Ostoros igazgatón? folyton megkeseríti az életét. Ráadásul nyomtalanul elt?nt apukájától sem kap még egy képeslapot sem. Nem csoda, ha Barni bánatában azt találja mondani: ?Bárcsak macska lennék!”. De vigyázz, mit kívánsz! Mert bizony a macskalét sem fenékig tejf?l... Ez a regény olyan izgalmas, hogy ha elkezded, a házi feladatra már biztos nem marad id?d! Amennyiben ez t?rténne, az óra el?tt jelentsd az esetet tanárodnak, és add k?lcs?n neki a k?nyvet! Matt Haig (1975) számtalan díjnyertes feln?tt- és ifjúsági regény szerz?je, forgatók?nyvíró, újságíró. K?nyvei k?zel 30 nyelven olvashatók. Feleségével és két gyermekével Yorkban él, és azt állítja, a pletykákkal ellentétben soha életében nem volt macska. (V?r?s kandúr meg aztán végképp nem!) Stacey Curtis díjnyertes amerikai karikaturista, képregényrajzoló, illusztrátor. Számos sikeres gyerekk?nyvh?z készített illusztrációt. Chicagoban él feleségével, lányával és a kutyájukkal. Egyáltalán nem tartja kizártnak, hogy élt már macskatestben. (Szerencsére a kutyájuk nem emlékszik erre.)

Ez Fabius Petronius Secundus római legionárius és centurió – valamint hadvezére, Scipio Aemilianus – felemelkedésének t?rténete: a makedónok elleni els? csatájától, amely megpecsételi Nagy Sándor birodalmának sorsát, az ?szak-Afrikában vívott, mindenre kiterjed? háborúig és Karthágó ostromáig. Scipio sikerei csodálatot és tiszteletet váltanak ki, de egyben kapzsiságot és féltékenységet is fialnak – legszorosabb sz?vetségeseit?l legelkeseredettebb ellenségeiig. ?s ott van még Julia is, a Caesar családból – a kiszámíthatatlan lány, aki Scipiót szereti, de annak vetélytársával, Paulusszal jegyzeték el –, aki csúf viszály kiváltója lesz. Végül Scipiónak egyetlen kérdésre kell csak válaszolnia: mi mindent képes feláldozni a látomásért, amit Rómáról alkotott?

Hispánia és ?szak-Afrika római provinciáin egy vandál sereg zúdul át megd?bbent? gyorsasággal, leigázza Karthágót, és Rómának a F?ldk?zi-tenger feletti uralmát fenyegeti. ?m ennél is nagyobb veszély k?zeledik keletr?l, egy barbár hader? ?zsia zord sztyeppéir?l, páratlanul vérszomjas harcosok, akik mindenkit els?p?rnek, aki hódítás utáni vágyuk útjában áll – Attila, a hun serege.Római katonák és egy titokzatos brit szerzetes alkotta kicsiny csapat az egyetlen, amely a római császárok züll?ttsége és gyengesége f?lé emelkedik, és a római sereg évszázadokkal korábbi dics? napjaiba nyúl vissza, hogy a t?rténelemb?l merítsen er?t. Hogy végül olyan megd?bbent?en pimasz tervvel rukkoljon el?, ami magába a s?tétség szívébe repíti ?ket, a legrettegettebb harcos-király er?djébe, akit a világ valaha is ismert. Az elk?vetkez? leszámolásban, a legnagyobb ütk?zetben, amelyet Róma valaha is vívott, a gy?zelem azoké lesz, akik a háború leghatalmasabb jelképét, amelyet valaha is kovácsoltak, a magasba tudják emelni – Attila szent kardját.

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. Grateful acknowledgment is due to Mr. Y. Yasuoka, Miss Fusa Okamoto, my brother Nobumori Ozaki, Dr. Yoshihiro Takaki, and Miss Kameko Yamao, who have helped me with translations. The story which I have named "The Story of the Man who did not Wish to Die" is taken from a little book written a hundred years ago by one Shinsui Tamenaga. It is named Chosei Furo, or "Longevity." "The Bamboo-cutter and the Moon-child" is taken from the classic "Taketari Monogatari," and is NOT classed by the Japanese among their fairy tales, though it really belongs to this class of literature. ? In telling these stories in English I have followed my fancy in adding such touches of local color or description as they seemed to need or as pleased me, and in one or two instances I have gathered in an incident from another version. At all times, among my friends, both young and old, English or American, I have always found eager listeners to the beautiful legends and fairy tales of Japan, and in telling them I have also found that they were still unknown to the vast majority, and this has encouraged me to write them for the children of the West. ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Y. T. O. ? MY LORD BAG OF RICE ? "Long, long ago there lived, in Japan a brave warrior known to all as Tawara Toda, or "My Lord Bag of Rice." His true name was Fujiwara Hidesato, and there is a very interesting story of how he came to change his name. One day he sallied forth in search of adventures, for he had the nature of a warrior and could not bear to be idle. So he buckled on his two swords, took his huge bow, much taller than himself, in his hand, and slinging his quiver on his back started out. He had not gone far when he came to the bridge of Seta-no-Karashi spanning one end of the beautiful Lake Biwa. No sooner had he set foot on the bridge than he saw lying right across his path a huge serpent-dragon. Its body was so big that it looked like the trunk of a large pine tree and it took up the whole width of the bridge. One of its huge claws rested on the parapet of one side of the bridge, while its tail lay right against the other. The monster seemed to be asleep, and as it breathed, fire and smoke came out of its nostrils. ? At first Hidesato could not help feeling alarmed at the sight of this horrible reptile lying in his path, for he must either turn back or walk right over its body. He was a brave man, however, and putting aside all fear went forward dauntlessly. Crunch, crunch! he stepped now on the dragon's body, now between its coils, and without even one glance backward he went on his way. .."

Kedves olvasó, ha már kezedben tartasz, elkalauzollak olyan világba, amely számodra is érdekes és felkelt?. Mai társadalmi helyzetünk elég cudar állapotban van, ahol még a faji kül?nb?ztetésénél tartunk és még mindig nem fogadtuk el egymást. Ezért nem is tudunk tovább lépni. Nem tudunk ?sszefogni és kilépni a rengetegbe, az ismeretlenbe, hogy aztán szétszóródjunk újra és benépesítsük az olyan réteget ahol esetleg mással, de ha nem, akkor egymással harcoljunk az új helyekért. K?nyvemet megosztva egy olyan fantázia szemsz?gb?l mutatom be, elképzelt világomat, melyben t?bb dolog rendbe j?tt, de helyette j?tt más, csak, hogy az élet mozogjon. Ha velem tartasz, végén ráj?ssz, lehet van benne logika, fantázia, és realizáció. Ez a világ olyan utakon jár melyben a fajok megbékéltek, elfogadták egymást, de helyette j?ttek a nemi kül?nbségek, melyet az emberek biológiai okokból nem fogadtak el, de akik elfogatták, úgy vélik ez természetes és lehetséges. Ha ódzkodsz a másságtól, óva intelek a t?rténetét?l, de egyben ajánlanám nagy szeretettel, hátha máshogy fogod látni a világot, vagy találsz benne olyan dolgot, darabot mely hiányzott a puzzle-?db?l, és kiegészíti a te kicsiny világodat.

History of aviation first published in 1915. According to the Preface: " Around the dry land of the earth are the oceans of water. We may never have seen them, but we have knowledge of them and their navigation, and their names suggest very definite and concrete objects of thought. We sometimes do not realize, however, that we live and move and have our being at the bottom of a vaster and deeper ocean that covers to a depth of many miles the whole earth, and to the surface of which man nor beast nor bird has ever ascended; an ocean with currents and whirlpools and waves of more than mountain height; an ocean in which we are as much at home as are the finny tribes and the monsters of the deep in their watery caverns. This is the ocean of the air. ?

This English translation was first published in 1918. According to the Preface:" This short book is the first part of a larger work by M. Georges Renard, the well-known French economic writer. The second part of the original deals with the modern Trade Union movement, and the part here reproduced is complete in itself."

Autobiographical novel. "Omoo is so close a sequel to "Typee," that it almost forms a part of that work. Herman Melville's second book appeared in 1847, published (as its forerunner had been the year before) simultaneously in London and New York. In 'Omoo,' as Mr. Arthur Stedman says- 'We leave for the most part the dreamy pictures of island life, and find ourselves sharing the extremely realistic discomforts of a Sydney whaler in the early forties.' Both books are without a doubt largely autobiographical, and based on the writer's early sea-adventures, of which his voyage in the "Acushnet" in 1841-2 was the most memorable." According to Wikipedia: "Herman Melville (August 1, 1819 – September 28, 1891) was an American novelist, short story writer, essayist and poet. His first two books gained much attention, though they were not bestsellers, and his popularity declined precipitously after only a few years. By the time of his death he had been almost completely forgotten, but his longest novel, Moby-Dick — largely considered a failure during his lifetime, and most responsible for Melville's fall from favor with the reading public — was recognized in the 20th century as one of the chief literary masterpieces of both American and world literature."

Autobiography of a slave girl, first published in 1861. According to Wikipedia: "Harriet Ann Jacobs (February 11, 1813 – March 7, 1897) was an American writer, who escaped from slavery and became an abolitionist speaker and reformer. Jacobs' single work, Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl, published in 1861 under the pseudonym Linda Brent, was one of the first autobiographical narratives about the struggle for freedom by female slaves and an account of the sexual harassment and abuse they endured."

Biographical sketches of Mrs. Barbauld, Miss Edgeworth, Mrs. Opie, and Jane Austen, first published in 1883. According to Wikipedia: " Anne Isabella, Lady Ritchie, née Thackeray (9 June 1837 – 26 February 1919) was an English writer. She was the eldest daughter of William Makepeace Thackeray.

Biography of a soldier in the American Revolution. Melville explains, "Biography, in its purer form, confined to the ended lives of the true and brave, may be held the fairest meed of human virtue--one given and received in entire disinterestedness--since neither can the biographer hope for acknowledgment from the subject, nor the subject at all avail himself of the biographical distinction conferred. Israel Potter well merits the present tribute--a private of Bunker Hill, who for his faithful services was years ago promoted to a still deeper privacy under the ground, with a posthumous pension, in default of any during life, annually paid him by the spring in ever-new mosses and sward." According to Wikipedia: "Herman Melville (August 1, 1819 – September 28, 1891) was an American novelist, short story writer, essayist and poet. His first two books gained much attention, though they were not bestsellers, and his popularity declined precipitously after only a few years. By the time of his death he had been almost completely forgotten, but his longest novel, Moby-Dick — largely considered a failure during his lifetime, and most responsible for Melville's fall from favor with the reading public — was recognized in the 20th century as one of the chief literary masterpieces of both American and world literature."

Historical novel, first published in 1821. Set in Southern England in 1575. According to Wikipedia: "Sir Walter Scott, 1st Baronet (1771 – 1832) was a prolific Scottish historical novelist and poet popular throughout Europe during his time. In some ways Scott was the first English-language author to have a truly international career in his lifetime, with many contemporary readers all over Europe, Australia, and North America. His novels and poetry are still read, and many of his works remain classics of both English-language literature and of Scottish literature. Famous titles include Ivanhoe, Rob Roy, The Lady of The Lake, Waverley, The Heart of Midlothian and The Bride of Lammermoor."
