Short Stories of Various Types
￥8.09
You will find that the stories in this collection are of different types with settings that take you in imagination all over our own country and into foreign lands. Try writing a story with a surprise ending like "The Gift of the Magi," a character story with the theme of unselfish love, and its setting in a big city. Again, "John G," the story of adventure with an animal for the hero, might suggest to you an adventuresome incident in your own experience. If you have a vivid imagination, it might be interesting to write a fanciful story like "Feathertop." All of you have heard of true and thrilling incidents of the recent Great War. Try to weave one into a good war story as did Daudet or Mrs. Andrews. Almost every young person loves nature or the open country. After you have read Mr. Garland's, "The Camping Trip," see how well you can tell a story of your own experience in the out-of-doors. Or, best of all, see if you can equal the great Conan Doyle in a detective story.

A Voyage to Laputa, Balnibarbi, Luggnagg, Glubbdubdrib and Japan
￥40.79
Gulliver sets sail again and, after an attack by pirates, ends up in Laputa, where a floating island inhabited by theoreticians and academics oppresses the land below, called Balnibarbi. The scientific research undertaken in Laputa and in Balnibarbi seems totally inane and impractical, and its residents too appear wholly out of touch with reality. Taking a short side trip to Glubbdubdrib, Gulliver is able to witness the conjuring up of figures from history, such as Julius Caesar and other military leaders, whom he finds much less impressive than in books. After visiting the Luggnaggians and the Struldbrugs, the latter of which are senile immortals who prove that age does not bring wisdom, he is able to sail to Japan and from there back to England.
Andrei Tarkovsky:A Life on the Cross
￥90.03
Andrei Tarkovsky died in a Paris hospital in 1986, aged just 54. An internationally acclaimed icon of the film industry, the legacy Tarkovsky left for his fans included Andrei Rublev, Stalker, Nostalgia and a host of other brilliant works. In the Soviet Union, however, Tarkovsky was a persona non grata. Longing to be accepted in his homeland, Tarkovsky distanced himself from all forms of political and social engagement, yet endured one fiasco after another in his relations with the Soviet regime. The Soviet authorities regarded the law-abiding, ideologically moderate Tarkovsky as an outsider and a nuisance, due to his impenetrable personal nature. The documentary novel A Life on the Cross provides a unique insight into the life of Andrey Tarkovsky, the infamous film director and a man whose life was by no means free of unedifying behaviour and errors of judgement. Lyudmila Boyadzhieva sets out to reveal his innate talent, and explain why the cost of such talent can sometimes be life itself.

Lumin?, ?ncet este o antologie care reune?te cele mai valoroase poeme scrise de Marian Dr?ghici – un poet atipic, greu de integrat ?ntr-o anume genera?ie, de?i, structural, pare s? r?m?n? afiliat unei ontologii postmoderniste. Marian Dr?ghici scrie o poezie cerebral?, fragmentar?, ironic? ?i autoironic?, din care nu lipsesc ?ns? m?rcile unui vizionarism ?bine temperat“. De?i poezia din Lumin?, ?ncet e mai degrab? geometric?, ?n care, totu?i, abund? artele poetice, se poate remarca aici – cum sus?ine ?i criticul literar Dan Cristea – ??mbinarea dintre religia poeziei ?i poezia religiei“.

Selec?ie de Teodor Dun? ?O parte a criticii a socotit c? Mazilescu este un ?poet de limbaj?, elaborat, rafinat, atras de artificiu, nu cu scopul exacerb?rii retorice a limbajului, ci, din contr?, pentru configurarea unui minimalism poetic, prin distorsiuni sintactice, blancuri, omisiuni, ?ntreruperi etc. ce au rolul de a revela o insolitare suplimentar? a limbajului poetic. Eugen Negrici caracteriza lirica lui Mazilescu prin formula fericit?: ?o stilistic? a eschivei?. Virgil Mazilescu trebuie privit, ?ns?, nu doar ca un poet al limbajului, oric?t de ?ncifrat, ci ?i ca un poet al fiin?ei, cu un discurs liric ce are o miz? clar ontologic?, dispus? chiar ?ntr-un registru neoexpresionist, un discurs ce ?ncorporeaz? ?n sine ‘?marile teme? ale modernit??ii: moartea, nebunia, suferin?a, Poezia cu ?majuscul?? ?i care percepe ?mistica poeziei ca instrument de m?ntuire, gravitatea rostirii? (Mircea C?rt?rescu)’.“ – Iulian Boldea

O carte pe s?pt?m?n? reprezint? norma decent? pentru un critic de ?nt?mpinare, cu at?t mai mult cu c?t el mai scrie ?i studii sau eseuri, ??i duce copilul la ?coal?, plimb? c?inele pe trasee lungi, dinainte calculate, petrece mult timp printre studen?i la cursuri ?i seminarii, formeaz? oameni tineri ?i ?ncurajeaz? debuturi, fiind prezent c?teva ore zilnic ?i pe Internet, pentru a prelua comenzi de colaborare sau ca s? onoreze unele mai vechi, cu scaden?e ?n general respectate. Cartea de fa?? prezint? jum?tatea pedanta, disciplinat? a celui care a scris, ca un program personal de evaziune, Visul lupului de step?: 52 de texte, dedicate scriitorilor rom?ni, formeaz? aici un ?an ideal“ consacrat literaturii recente, compus din respect pentru munca altora, din admira?ie ?i entuziasm, dar ?i din responsabilitatea critic? a disocierilor lucide, tran?ante, atunci c?nd cazurile o impun. Practic?nd cu pl?cere cronica de ?nt?mpinare de mai bine de 30 de ani, autorul c?r?ii de fa?? ?tie prea bine c? nu laude a?teapt? ?n primul r?nd scriitorul rom?n din partea criticului s?u, ci ?n?elegerea obiectiv? a demersului literar ?i onestitate. ?n consecin??, se prea cuvine ca recenzentul s? r?m?n? un om marginal ?i s? priveasc? vedetele din penumbr?. ?n ultim? instan??, critica de ?nt?mpinare devine stil prin coregrafia subtil? a distan??rilor reciproce: a scriitorului de sine ?nsu?i prin intermediul criticului s?u, ?i a acestuia din urm? de propria sa fixa?ie, prin mijlocirea c?r?ilor mereu noi pe care le cite?te.

De ce fr minotaur Fiindc literatura, din perspectiva mea, este un labirint, iar naintarea n ea, una plin de pericole, topite ns n pura iridiscen. Un labirint, dar unul radios, menit s atrag atenia asupra infinitii de jocuri ascunse n textul literar. Jocuri care te prind (mai bine-zis te seduc), doar ca s te poi elibera, s fii vzut n mijloc, schind un salut triumfator – poate spre nite prieteni nevzui. Cu nimic altceva n jur dect pietre ncinse, ncrustate cu nestemate. Nevoit s mergi mereu nainte, lai averea asta altcuiva, n-o poi lua cu tine – sensul e s iei din labirint cu totul nud (neatins de prejudeci ori de cliee), fr cicatrici literare, literatura s fie pentru tine o poart, nu o temni. Ea poart, ntr-adevr, n sine, aceast imens generozitate. Niciun minotaur care s te sfie, doar picurul de miere al bucuriei lecturii, pe lespezile arse de soare: suntem la amiaz, ateni, vigili (minotaurul ar fi doar creaia noastr). Senzaia de deschidere druit de literatur st deci la originea acestei cri, mai degrab un sinuos autoportret de cititor (nu att narcisiac, ct fidel siei) dect o lucrare sistematic. Un chip caleidoscopic, conturat din capricii reunite, firesc, ca rsplata pentru a fi urmrit cu ncredere traiectoria neregulat a lecturii – sinuozitate nelipsit totui de un sim al unitii, tradus n meditaia continu asupra unor noiuni precum familiaritate i alteritate, a relaiona ori a insolita.“ – Simona Grazia Dima

Lidia Lazu a scris aceste poeme. i pe urm a uitat c le-a scris. Le-a gsit pe marginea unei ferestre, ciugulite de psrile cerului, cu frumuseea pierdut pentru totdeauna – c toate lucrurile sortite s ntrein miracolul existenei. Acesta este mitul n jurul cruia ar putea s se consolideze o ntreag oper poetic. Eu cred c nici unul dintre poeii romni nu a reuit s construiasc o asemenea imagine, care ntr-adevr s ne reprezinte ntr-un asemenea chip i ntr-o asemenea msur. Lidia Lazu scrie din preaplinul firii sale. (...) Ea face parte dintre acei oameni care nu scriu din pricina slbiciunilor lor, ci din pricina prea multelor daruri cu care a fost nzestrat de Dumnezeu.“ – Mircea Ciobanu

Apreciat? la vremea ei pentru angajamentul ?i talentul de a media ?ntre culturi, Regina Elisabeta a Rom?niei (1843-1916) este considerat? p?n? ?n zilele noastre drept una dintre cele mai importante mediatoare ale literaturii ?i culturii rom?ne?ti ?n spa?iul de limb? german? de la sf?r?itul secolului al XIX-lea. Prin apari?ia sa neconven?ional? ca scriitoare, sub pseudonimul literar Carmen Sylva, angajat? ?n prop??irea dinastiei rom?ne, prima regin? a Rom?niei, Elisabeta, a demonstrat ?n fa?a publicului semnifica?ia modern? a ?profesiei“ de so?ie de monarh, un exemplu pe care succesoarea sa, Regina Maria a Rom?niei ?l va des?v?r?i.
