￥8.82

The Rangeland Avenger
￥8.82
And maybe I ain't. Sinclair brushed the entire argument away into a thin mist of smoke. "Now, look here, Cold Feet, I'm about to go to sleep, and when I sleep, I sure sleep sound, taking it by and large. They's times when I don't more'n close one eye all night, and they's times when you'd have to pull my eyes open, one by one, to wake me up. Understand? I'm going to sleep the second way tonight. About eight hours of the soundest sleep you ever heard tell of."
Le Père Achille
￥8.82
"La mère Achille quitte son ouvrage, la fenêtre où elle était assise, et se dispose à mettre son couvert. L'homme va monter pour déjeuner. Il travaille là tout près dans ces grands ateliers vitrés qu'on aper?oit encombrés de pièces de bois, et où grincent du matin au soir les instruments des scieurs de long… La femme va et vient de la chambre à la cuisine. Tout est soigné, tout reluit dans cet intérieur d'ouvrier. Seulement la nudité des deux petites pièces est plus frappante à ce jour éclatant du cinquième étage. On voit des cimes d'arbres, les buttes Chaumont tout en haut, et ?à et là de longues cheminées de briques noircies au bord, toujours actives. Les meubles sont cirés, frottés. Ils datent du mariage, comme ces deux bouquets de fruits en verre qui ornent la cheminée. On n'a rien acheté depuis, parce que, pendant que la femme tirait courageusement son aiguille, l'homme dépensait ses journées dehors. Tout ce qu'elle a pu faire, ?'a été de soigner, d'entretenir le peu qu'ils avaient."

La Galatea
￥8.82
La Galatea suele considerarse como una novela pastoril. Es verdad que los personajes son pastores, pero la novela va mucho más allá, desarrolla un estudio psicológico del amor, siendo este el propósito de Cervantes al escribirla. La novela empezó a redactarse cuando Cervantes volvió de su cautiverio en Argel (diciembre de 1580). No tuvo mucho éxito en las librerías, en comparación con el enorme de la Diana de Montemayor y el grandísimo de la Diana enamorada de Gil Polo. Cervantes tuvo durante toda su vida un altísimo concepto de su novela y la intención de publicar la segunda parte, pero murió sin haberlo hecho.
Das Bildnis des Dorian Gray
￥8.82
Das Bildnis des Dorian Gray ist der einzige Roman des irischen Schriftstellers Oscar Wilde. Eine erste Fassung erschien 1890 in Lippincott’s Monthly Magazine aus Philadelphia, 1891 wurde bei dem Londoner Verlag Ward, Lock and Co. die heute bekannte, überarbeitete und erweiterte Fassung in Buchform ver?ffentlicht. Der seinerzeit als anrüchig geltende Roman war auch Gegenstand des Unzuchtprozesses gegen Wilde. Die Hauptfigur, der reiche und sch?ne Dorian Gray, besitzt ein Portr?t, das statt seiner altert und in das sich die Spuren seiner Sünden einschreiben. W?hrend Gray immer ma?loser und grausamer wird, bleibt sein ?u?eres dennoch jung und makellos sch?n.
Utilitarianism
￥8.82
John Stuart Mill's book Utilitarianism is a philosophical defense of utilitarianism in ethics. The essay first appeared as a series of three articles published in Fraser's Magazine in 1861; the articles were collected and reprinted as a single book in 1863. It went through four editions during Mill's lifetime with minor additions and revisions. Although Mill includes discussions of utilitarian ethical principles in other works such as On Liberty and The Subjection of Women, Utilitarianism contains Mill's only major discussion of the fundamental grounds for utilitarian ethical theory.
Riders of the Silences
￥8.82
The Great West prior to the century's turn abounded in legend. Stories were told of fabled gunmen whose bullets always magically found their mark of mighty stallions whose tireless gallop rivaled the speed of the wind of glorious women whose beauty stunned mind and heart. But nowhere in the vast spread of the mountain-desert country was there a greater legend told than the story of Red Pierre and the phantom gunfighter McGurk.

Le Bon Dieu de Chemillé qui n'est ni pour ni contre
￥8.82
"Le curé de Chemillé s'en allait porter le Bon Dieu à un malade. Vraiment, c'était pitié de songer que quelqu'un pouvait mourir par un si beau jour d'été, en plein Angélus de midi, le moment de la vie et de la lumière. C'était pitié aussi de songer que ce pauvre curé avait été obligé de se mettre en route tout de suite en sortant de table, à l'heure où d'habitude il allait – le bréviaire aux mains – faire un bout de sieste sous sa petite tonnelle de vigne, au frais et au repos d'un joli jardin plein de pêches m?res et de roses trémières."

Hamlet
￥8.82
Hamlet is a tragedy by William Shakespeare, believed to have been written between 1599 and 1601. The play, set in Denmark, recounts how Prince Hamlet exacts revenge on his uncle Claudius, who has murdered Hamlet's father, the King, and then taken the throne and married Hamlet's mother. The play vividly charts the course of real and feigned madness—from overwhelming grief to seething rage—and explores themes of treachery, revenge, incest, and moral corruption.
The Tempest
￥8.82
The Tempest is a comedy written by William Shakespeare. It is generally dated to 1610-11 and accepted as the last play written solely by him, although some scholars have argued for an earlier dating. While listed as a comedy in its initial publication in the First Folio of 1623, many modern editors have relabelled the play a romance.
The Art of War
￥8.82
The Art of War is a Chinese military treatise that was written during the 6th century BC by Sun Tzu. Composed of 13 chapters, each of which is devoted to one aspect of warfare, it has long been praised as the definitive work on military strategies and tactics of its time. The Art of War is one of the oldest books on military strategy in the world. It is the first and one of the most successful works on strategy and has had a huge influence on Eastern and Western military thinking, business tactics, and beyond. Sun Tzu was the first to recognize the importance of positioning in strategy and that position is affected both by objective conditions in the physical environment and the subjective opinions of competitive actors in that environment. He taught that strategy was not planning in the sense of working through a to-do list, but rather that it requires quick and appropriate responses to changing conditions.
