Das Bildnis des Dorian Gray
Oscar Wilde

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.

W?hrend Gray immer ma?loser und grausamer wird, bleibt sein ?u?eres dennoch jung und makellos sch?n.

Like The Begum's Millions which Verne published in 1879 , it has the theme of France and the entire world threatened by a super-weapon (what would now be called a weapon of mass destruction) with the threat finally overcome through the force of French patriotism.

"""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
Japanese Fairy Tales
Yei Theodora Ozaki
¥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.

Hélas ! j’étais amoureux de celle qui écrivait à Assanof, et jusque-là rien ne m’avait fait soup?onner qu’elle e?t de l’attachement pour lui. Sa lettre, écrite en fran?ais, était pleine d’expressions de tendresse et de dévouement. Elle commen?ait par ces mots : ? Mon cher ami Constantin ?, et se terminait par un conseil et une promesse : ? Soyez prudent comme vous l’avez été jusqu’ici, et si je ne me marie pas avec vous, je ne me marierai avec aucun autre. ? Frappé comme par un coup de foudre, je restai un instant immobile, puis je m’arrachai à cet état de stupeur et sortis précipitamment. Un quart d’heure après j’étais rentré chez moi.

Le jour de sa promotion — cela se passait aux environs du 15 mars —, Teglev se promenait le long des quais, en compagnie de quelques camarades impatients d’étrenner leurs uniformes tout neufs. Le printemps était précoce et la glace fondait déjà sur la Néva ; le courant avait emporté les blocs les plus gros, et il ne flottait plus à la surface du fleuve qu’une couche mince et peu résistante. Les jeunes gens devisaient joyeusement, riaient... quand l’un d’eux s’arrêta : il venait d’apercevoir, à une vingtaine de mètres du bord, un caniche qui s’était réfugié sur une glace plus stable que les autres et hurlait en tremblant de tout son corps transi.

On The Eve...
Ivan Turgenev
¥8.82
On the Eve is the third novel by famous Russian writer Ivan Turgenev, best known for his short stories and the novel Fathers and Sons. Turgenev embellishes this love story with observations on middle class life and interposes some art and philosophy. Nikolay Dobrolyubov was critical of On the Eve, offending Turgenev. The story revolves around Elena, a girl with a hypochondriac mother and an idle father, a retired guards lieutenant with a mistress. On the eve of the Crimean War, Elena is pursued by a free-spirited sculptor (Shubin) and a serious-minded student (Berzyenev). But when Berzyenev's revolutionary Bulgarian friend, Insarov, meets Elena, they fall in love. In secretly marrying Insarov Elena disappoints her mother and enrages her father, who had hoped to marry her to a dull, self-satisfied functionary, Kurnatovski. Insarov nearly dies from pneumonia and only partly recovers. On the outbreak of war Insarov tries to return with Elena to Bulgaria, but tragically dies in Venice. Elena takes Insarov's body to the Balkans for burial and then vanishes.
