Across the Plains

Travelogue and essays. According to Wikipedia: "Robert Louis (Balfour) Stevenson ( 1850 - 1894), was a Scottish novelist, poet, and travel writer, and a leading representative of Neo-romanticism in English literature. He was the man who "seemed to pick the right word up on the point of his pen, like a man playing spillikins", as G. K. Chesterton put it. He was also greatly admired by many authors, including Jorge Luis Borges, Ernest Hemingway, Rudyard Kipling, Vladimir Nabokov, and J. M. Barrie. Most modernist writers dismissed him, however, because he was popular and did not write within their definition of modernism. It is only recently that critics have begun to look beyond Stevenson's popularity and allow him a place in the canon."

Time magazine, in a review of a biography of Chesterton, observed of his writing style: "Whenever possible Chesterton made his points with popular sayings, proverbs, allegories—first carefully turning them inside out."

Ne face pl?cere s? v? oferim acum continuarea lui, const?nd ?ntr-o nou? colec?ie de texte pline de umor, inteligen?? ?i autoironie. * * * De unde naiba s? ?tie b?rbatul care-i sunt hainele murdare??? ??i miroase, timp de dou? ore, toate c?rpele de pe scaunul-cuier. Le ?mparte ?n dou? gr?mezi, unele curate ?i altele murdare. C?nd, transpirat, anun?? c? a terminat, bestia de so?ie se ?nfiin?eaz? ?i ia ambele mormane la sp?lat. — De ce le iei ?i pe-alea curate? o ?ntreab?, confuz. — Pentru c? sunt jegoase. ?i d?-le ?i pe toate alea de pe tine, c? put. — Dar sunt proasp?t sp?late, le-am luat de-abia acum o s?pt?m?n?. Vr?jitoarea e ?ns? de neclintit. ?i ?ntoarce spatele ?i iese, l?s?ndu-l gol, dezorientat, umilit ?i mirosindu-se la subra?. * * * C?nd e o hain? murdar?? C?nd te-ai uitat la ea. Ai p?ng?rit-o cu privirea ta. E ca ?i cum s-a frecat un pechinez ?n c?lduri pe ea, trebuie aruncat? la sp?lat. Multe femei stau la u?a ?ifonierului ?i te urm?resc c?nd ??i alegi haine: — Haaaa, tricou atins, tricou ?mbr?cat, tricou ?mpu?iiiiit!

Anatomy of Melancholy
￥8.09
According to Wikipedia: "The Anatomy of Melancholy (Full title: The Anatomy of Melancholy, What it is: With all the Kinds, Causes, Symptomes, Prognostickes, and Several Cures of it. In Three Maine Partitions with their several Sections, Members, and Subsections. Philosophically, Medicinally, Historically, Opened and Cut Up) is a book by Robert Burton, first published in 1621. Burton's book consists mostly of a collection of opinions of a multitude of writers, grouped under quaint and old-fashioned divisions; in a solemn tone Burton endeavoured to prove indisputable facts by weighty quotations. The subjects discussed and determined by Burton ranged from the doctrines of religion to military discipline, from inland navigation to the morality of dancing-schools. On its surface, the book is presented as a medical textbook in which Burton applies his vast and varied learning, in the scholastic manner, to the subject of melancholia (which includes what is now termed clinical depression). Though presented as a medical text, The Anatomy of Melancholy is as much a sui generis work of literature as it is a scientific or philosophical text, and Burton addresses far more than his stated subject. In fact, the Anatomy uses melancholy as the lens through which all human emotion and thought may be scrutinized, and virtually the entire contents of a 17th-century library are marshalled into service of this goal. It is encyclopedic in its range and reference. In his satirical preface to the reader, Burton's persona Democritus Junior explains, "I write of melancholy by being busy to avoid melancholy." This is characteristic of the author's style, which often supersedes the book's strengths as a medical text or historical document as its main source of appeal to admirers. Both satirical and serious in tone, the Anatomy is "vitalized by (Burton's) pervading humour",[3] and Burton's digressive and inclusive style, often verging on a stream of consciousness, consistently informs and animates the text."

This book-collection file includes five books: The Mirror of the Sea, Notes on Life and Letters, Notes on My Books, A Personal Record, and Some Reminiscences. According to Wikipedia: "Joseph Conrad (born Józef Teodor Konrad Korzeniowski, 3 December 1857 – 3 August 1924) was a Polish-born English novelist. Many critics regard him as one of the greatest novelists in the English language—a fact that is remarkable as he did not learn to peak English fluently until he was in his twenties (and always with a Polish accent). Conrad is recognized as a master prose stylist. Some of his works have a strain of romanticism, but more importantly he is recognized as an important forerunner of modernist literature. His narrative style and anti-heroic characters have influenced many writers, including Ernest Hemingway, D. H. Lawrence, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Graham Greene, William S. Burroughs, Joseph Heller, V.S. Naipaul, Italo Calvino and J. M. Coetzee."
