William Shakespeare
¥8.82
All's Well That Ends Well is a play by William Shakespeare, originally classified as a comedy, though now often counted as one of his problem plays, so-called because they cannot be easily classified as tragedy or comedy. It was probably written in later middle part of Shakespeare's career, between 1601 and 1608, and was first published in the First Folio in 1623. The name of the play comes from the proverb All's well that ends well, which means that problems do not matter so long as the outcome is good.

Gevoel en verstand
Gevoel en verstand
Gonne Van Uildriks, Jane Austen
¥8.82
Sense and Sensibility (Gevoel en verstand) is de eerste, in 1811 anoniem uitgegeven roman van de Engelse schrijfster Jane Austen. Het verhaal is gebaseerd op de briefroman Elinor and Marianne die ze in 1794, op 19-jarige leeftijd, schreef. Het vertelt het verhaal van de zusters Dashwood, Elinor en Marianne. In het boek beschrijft Austen een milieu (Engelse landadel) waarin niet alleen vrouwen, maar ook mannen het slachtoffer kunnen zijn van regels over familiebanden, eigendommen en het huwelijk. De titel verwijst naar de verschillende wijze waarop de hoofdpersonages tegen hun situatie aankijken: Elinor Dashwood baseert zich op gezond verstand (sense) en haar jongere zus Marianne gaat in eerste instantie meer uit van haar gevoel (sensibility).

With gusts of wind fanning it roughly, the flame rose fast. Harrigan made other journeys to the rotten stump and wrenched away great chunks of bark and wood. He came back and piled them on the fire. It towered high, the upper tongues twisting among the branches of the tree. They laid Kate Malone between the windbreak and the fire. In a short time her trembling ceased; she turned her face to the blaze and slept.

Dick Sands the Boy Captain
Dick Sands the Boy Captain
Jules Verne
¥8.82
In 1878 appeared Dick Sands, the epic of the slave trade. This picture of the wilds of Africa, its adventures and its dangers, the savage hunting both of beasts and men, has always been a favorite among Verne's readers. It contains no marvels, no inventions, but merely, amid stirring scenes and actions seeks to convey two truthful impressions. One is the traveler's teaching the geographical information, the picture of Africa as explorers, botanists, and zoologists have found it. The other is the moral lesson of the awful curse of slavery, its brutalizing, horrible influence upon all who come in touch with it, and the absolutely devastating effect it has had upon Africa itself.

A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man
A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man
James Joyce
¥8.82
A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man is a semi-autobiographical novel by James Joyce, first serialized in The Egoist from 1914 to 1915 and published in book form in 1916. It depicts the formative years in the life of Stephen Dedalus, a fictional alter ego of Joyce and a pointed allusion to the consummate craftsman of Greek mythology, Daedalus. A Portrait is a key example of the Künstlerroman (an artist's bildungsroman) in English literature. Joyce's novel traces the intellectual and religio-philosophical awakening of young Stephen Dedalus as he begins to question and rebel against the Catholic and Irish conventions he has been brought up in. He finally leaves for Paris to pursue his calling as an artist. The work pioneers some of Joyce's modernist techniques that would later come to fruition in Ulysses and Finnegans Wake. The Modern Library ranked Portrait as the third greatest English-language novel of the twentieth century.
