The Night Horseman
￥8.82
At the age of six Randall Byrne could name and bound every state in the Union and give the date of its admission; at nine he was conversant with Homeric Greek and Caesar; at twelve he read Aristophanes with perfect understanding of the allusions of the day and divided his leisure between Ovid and Horace; at fifteen, wearied by the simplicity of Old English and Thirteenth Century Italian, he dipped into the history of Philosophy and passed from that, naturally, into calculus and the higher mathematics; at eighteen he took an A. B. from Harvard and while idling away a pleasant summer with Hebrew and Sanscrit he delved lightly into biology and its kindred sciences, having reached the conclusion that Truth is greater than Goodness or Beauty, because it comprises both, and the whole is greater than any of its parts; at twenty-one he pocketed his Ph. D. and was touched with the fever of his first practical enthusiasm - surgery.
Wood'stown
￥8.82
"L'emplacement était superbe pour b?tir une ville. Il n'y avait qu'à déblayer les bords du fleuve, en abattant une partie de la forêt, de l'immense forêt vierge enracinée là depuis la naissance du monde. Alors abritée tout autour par des collines boisées, la ville descendrait jusqu'aux quais d'un port magnifique, établi dans l'embouchure de la Rivière-Rouge, à quatre milles seulement de la mer."

La giara
￥8.82
Vengono qui presentate alcune novelle estratte dalla raccolta "Novelle per un anno". I paesaggi delle novelle sono vari; per quelle dette siciliane si ha spesso il tipico paesaggio rurale, anche se in alcune troviamo il tema sociale del contrasto tra le generazioni dovuto all'unità d'Italia. Altro ambiente delle novelle pirandelliane è la Roma umbertina o giolittiana. I protagonisti sono sempre alla presa con il male di vivere, con il caso e con la morte e potrebbero essere i vicini della porta accanto: sarte, balie, professori, piccoli proprietari di negozi che hanno una vita sconvolta dalla sorte e da drammi familiari. I personaggi ci vengono presentati così come appaiono, è difficile trovare un'approfondita analisi psicologica. Le fisionomie sono spesso eccentriche, per il sentimento del contrario, hanno un carattere opposto a come si presentano, parlano e ragionano nel presentarsi per come essi sentono di essere, ma alla fine saranno sempre preda del caso, che li farà apparire diversi e cambiati.

The Invisible Man of the title is Griffin, a scientist who theorises that if a person's refractive index is changed to exactly that of air and his body does not absorb or reflect light, then he will be invisible.

The Nightingale and the Rose: (Original 1888 Edition): Annotated
￥8.82
A nightingale overhears a student complaining that his professor's daughter will not dance with him, as he is unable to give her a red rose. The nightingale visits all the rose-trees in the garden, and one of the white roses tell her that there's a way to produce a red rose, but only if the nightingale is prepared to sing the sweetest song for the rose all night, and sacrifice her life to do so. Seeing the student in tears, the nightingale carries out the ritual, and impales herself on the rose-tree's thorn so that her heart's blood can stain the rose. The student takes the rose to the professor's daughter, but she again rejects him because another man has sent her some real jewels, and "everybody knows that jewels cost far more than flowers." The student angrily throws the rose into the gutter, returns to his study of metaphysics, and decides not to believe in true love anymore.

20000 lieues sous les mers
￥8.82
Ce roman, parmi les plus célèbres et des plus traduits de notre littérature, appara?t sans conteste comme une des oeuvres les plus puissantes, les plus originales et les plus représentatives de Jules Verne. Tout commence en 1866: la peur règne sur les océans. Plusieurs navires prétendent avoir rencontré un monstre effrayant. Et quand certains rentrent gravement avariés après avoir heurté la créature, la rumeur devient certitude. L'Abraham Lincoln, frégate américaine, se met en chasse pour débarrasser les mers de ce terrible danger. Elle emporte notamment le professeur Aronnax, fameux ichthyologue du Muséum de Paris, son domestique, le dévoué Conseil, et le Canadien Ned Land, ?roi des harponneurs?. Après six mois de recherches infructueuses, le 5 novembre 1867, on repère ce que l'on croit être un ?narwal gigantesque?. Mais sa vitesse rend le monstre insaisissable et lorsqu'enfin on réussit à l'approcher pour le harponner, il aborde violemment le vaisseau et le laisse désemparé. Aronnax, Conseil et Ned Land trouvent refuge sur le dos du narwal. Ils s'aper?oivent alors qu'il s'agit d'un navire sous-marin...
The Ebony Frame
￥8.82
"""Oh! my dear, my dear, how shall I pass the hours till I hold you again?"" No thought, then, of my whole life's completion and consummation being a dream. I staggered up to my room, fell across my bed, and slept heavily and dreamlessly. When I awoke it was high noon. Mildred and her mother were coming to lunch. I remembered, at one o'clock, Mildred coming and her existence. Now indeed the dream began. With a penetrating sense of the futility of any action apart from her, I gave the necessary orders for the reception of my guests. When Mildred and her mother came I received them with cordiality; but my genial phrases all seemed to be someone else's. My voice sounded like an echo; my heart was not there. Still, the situation was not intolerable, until the hour when afternoon tea was served in the drawing-room. Mildred and mother kept the conversational pot boiling with"

Japanese Fairy Tales
￥8.82
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.
