Dac? spun un adev?r incomod sunt tratat? ca un trouble-fête. Dac? regret radicalismul sau lipsa de tact de a emite un adev?r nepl?cut, mi se sugereaz? c? sunt la??. Dac? sunt vis?toare sau patetic?, mi se spune c? sunt dep??it?. C?nd sunt trist? ?i m? ascund dup? masca unei veselii debordante, mi se z?mbe?te insidios: ei, ascunde ea ceva. C?nd spun ?n gura mare ceea ce cred, sunt ?fichiuit? cu sarcasme. Iar atunci c?nd abordez teme majore, mi se sugereaz? c? sunt expirat?. Nu, nu exist? nici un fel de comunicare. La mijloc sunt, mai degrab?, ni?te savante mecanisme menite s?-?i deformeze faptele, iar, ?n ultim? instan??, imaginea, ?i s?-?i taie orice elan, pentru ca, ?ntr-un t?rziu, s? te fac? s? alegi, iar??i, singur?tatea – mam? bun?, aspr?, cald? – ?n iadul-raiul de fiecare zi.S? te re?ntorci ?n subterana ta mereu acela?i, mereu altul, tu, cel care e?ti ?i devii ceea ce e?ti. Aici e marea judecat?. ?ntre pere?ii acoperi?i cu c?r?i ?ncepe cunoa?terea. Restul sunt vorbe, fantezii, toane, divaga?ii, ?nt?mpl?ri m?runte, scurse dinspre realitatea de fum, a c?rei amintire e proasp?t? ?i-at?t de vie. Orgoliul, smerenia ?i asprimea ?ndreptat? ?mpotriva ta ??i vor fi sfetnici.Carnea trec?toare a cui sunt, Doamne? (Aura Christi)

Nici avangardi?tii cei mai radicali n-au putut ignora total tradi?ia, de?i, la modul teoretic, au pretins c? au aruncat-o la co?ul de gunoi. Un Urmuz a valorificat absurdul care nu lipse?te din folclor, dar nici din Caragiale. ?Constructivi?tii” au sim?it tenta?ia s?-l asimileze pe Br?ncu?i la avangard? etc. Iat? ?ns? c? postmoderni?tii au ajuns la ??n?elepciunea” c? lumea contemporan? ?ncepe doar cu d?n?ii. Am auzit voci spun?nd c? Liviu Rebreanu este at?t de ??nvechit”, ?nc?t nu mai are ce c?uta ?n programele de ?nv???m?nt. Nu mai vorbim de Eminescu. Acesta n-ar fi dec?t un scriitor ?istoricizat”, interesant, cel mult, prin c?teva poeme cu tent? parodic-textualist?, cum sus?ine un eminent istoric literar, care consider? c? locul ?n ?canonul literar” rom?nesc trebuie cedat postmodernistului Mircea C?rt?rescu, cu detronarea ?poetului na?ional”, sintagm? complet ?dep??it?”. Captatio benevolentiae din conferin?a Aurei Crhisti ?ncepe cu o astfel de provocare: ?M-am ?ntrebat nu o dat?, pe ?ntinderea ultimilor ani, ce s-ar ?nt?mpla dac?, ?ntr-o bun? zi, ne-am pomeni fa?? ?n fa?? cu Mihai (sau Mihail, cum ?i spunea Nichita St?nescu) Eminescu, cu Lucian Blaga sau Nicolae Iorga, cu George C?linescu sau Liviu Rebreanu, cu Titu Maiorescu sau cu una dintre marile doamne ale literaturii rom?ne, Hortensia Papadat-Bengescu? S-ar sim?i acas?? Aici, printre noi, scriitorii rom?ni… Aceste ?ntreb?ri ar st?rni, f?r? ?ndoial?, ironiile sau comentariile sarcastice ale multor postmoderni?ti, textuali?ti, dou?mii?ti sau post-post-moderni?ti, care ?i-au ?ntocmit, ?ntr-o grab? suspect?, precipitat?, o ?nou? tabl? de valori acceptate?, fiindc? no?iunea de cultur? e... ?suspect? din punct de vedere politic!? Desigur, ace?ti mari scriitori nu s-ar mai sim?i acas?, ci abandona?i, cu patria lor cu tot, ?n numele alteia, obscur?, fudul?, ?n vulgaritatea ei, hibrid? din punct de vedere nu numai cultural, a?a cum o prevedea, alarmat, Mircea Eliade ?n celebra lui conferin?? din 1953, Destinul culturii rom?ne?ti.

On the Significance of Science and Art
￥8.09
Classic long essay. According to Wikipedia: " As a fiction writer, Tolstoy is widely regarded as one of the greatest of all novelists, particularly noted for his masterpieces War and Peace and Anna Karenina. In their scope, breadth and realistic depiction of 19th-century Russian life, the two books stand at the peak of realist fiction. As a moral philosopher Tolstoy was notable for his ideas on nonviolent resistance through works such as The Kingdom of God is Within You, which in turn influenced such twentieth-century figures as Mohandas K. Gandhi and Martin Luther King, Jr."
The Memoirs of Victor Hugo
￥8.09
According to Wikipedia: "Victor-Marie Hugo (26 February 1802 – 22 May 1885) was a French poet, playwright, novelist, essayist, visual artist, statesman, human rights activist and exponent of the Romantic movement in France. In France, Hugo's literary fame comes first from his poetry but also rests upon his novels and his dramatic achievements. Among many volumes of poetry, Les Contemplations and La Légende des siècles stand particularly high in critical esteem, and Hugo is sometimes identified as the greatest French poet. Outside France, his best-known works are the novels Les Misérables and Notre-Dame de Paris (known in English also as The Hunchback of Notre Dame). Though a committed conservative royalist when he was young, Hugo grew more liberal as the decades passed; he became a passionate supporter of republicanism, and his work touches upon most of the political and social issues and artistic trends of his time. He is buried in the Panthéon."
In the South Seas

Classic travelogue/memoir. 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."

His name has passed into the English language as a term (Boswell, Boswellian, Boswellism) for a constant companion and observer. Boswell is also known for the detailed and frank journals that he wrote for long periods of his life, which remained undiscovered until the 1920s. These included voluminous notes on the grand tour of Europe that he took as a young man and, subsequently, of his tour of Scotland with Johnson. His journals also record meetings and conversations with eminent individuals belonging to The Club, including Lord Monboddo, David Garrick, Edmund Burke, Reynolds and Oliver Goldsmith.

Plutarch's Morals, Ethical Essays
￥8.09
From the Preface: "Plutarch, who was born at Chaeronea in Boeotia, probably about A.D. 50, and was a contemporary of Tacitus and Pliny, has written two works still extant, the well-known _Lives_, and the less-known _Moralia_. The _Lives_ have often been translated, and have always been a popular work. Great indeed was their power at the period of the French Revolution. The _Moralia_, on the other hand, consisting of various Essays on various subjects (only twenty-six of which are directly ethical, though they have given their name to the _Moralia_), are declared by Mr. Paley "to be practically almost unknown to most persons in Britain, even to those who call themselves scholars." According to Wikipedia: "Lucius Mestrius Plutarchus (c. AD 46 - 120 — commonly known in English as Plutarch — was a Roman historian (of Greek ethnicity), biographer, essayist, and Middle Platonist. Plutarch was born to a prominent family in Chaeronea, Boeotia, a town about twenty miles east of Delphi. His known works consist of the Parallel Lives and the Moralia."

According to Wikipedia: "Washington is seen as a symbol of the United States and republicanism in practice. His devotion to civic virtue made him an exemplary figure among early American politicians.

Washington has been consistently ranked by scholars as one of the greatest U.S. Presidents."
Is Shakespeare Dead? from My Autobiography
￥8.09
From Chapter 1: "A friend has sent me a new book, from England--The Shakespeare Problem Restated--well restated and closely reasoned; and my fifty years' interest in that matter--asleep for the last three years--is excited once more. It is an interest which was born of Delia Bacon's book--away back in that ancient day--1857, or maybe 1856. About a year later my pilot-master, Bixby, transferred me from his own steamboat to the Pennsylvania, and placed me under the orders and instructions of George Ealer--dead now, these many, many years. I steered for him a good many months--as was the humble duty of the pilot-apprentice: stood a daylight watch and spun the wheel under the severe superintendence and correction of the master. He was a prime chess player and an idolater of Shakespeare. He would play chess with anybody; even with me, and it cost his official dignity something to do that. "
