P?n? la biografia scris? de ?pek ?al??lar ?i v?ndut? ?n Turcia ?n peste o jum?tate de milion de exemplare, s-au ?tiut destul de pu?ine lucruri despre Latife Han?m, singura so?ie a generalul Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, ?ntemeietorul Republicii Turce care a r?mas ?n istorie ca unul dintre cei mai charismatici lideri politici din primele decenii ale secolului al XX-lea. ?ntr-o epoc? ?n care educarea femeilor era considerat? inutil? ?i chiar primejdioas?, Latife era o t?n?r? intelectual? care studiase dreptul la Sorbona, vorbea fluent opt limbi str?ine ?i era extrem de ?nzestrat? pentru arte, literatur? ?i muzic?. ?nc? dinainte de a se c?s?tori, a fost o militant? pasionat? pentru drepturile femeilor turce ?i visa ridicarea acestora la acela?i nivel de progres social ?i cultural ca al surorilor lor europene. Hot?r?t? s? pun? cap?t tradi?iilor care ?nrobiser? femeile timp de secole, doamna Atatürk a devenit simbolul noilor femei turce ?n eliberarea de restric?iile musulmane ale haremului ?i v?lului. ?O carte bogat?, surprinz?toare ?i profund?.“ Orhan Pamuk

Vd n Aura Christi scriitoarea romnc exponenial la nivel nalt pentru era globalismului (mondialismului), pentru europenismul multinaional, ntruct, asemenea unui arbore simbolic, axial, are rdcinile n Basarabia (fost component a Uniunii Sovietice, actual Republica Moldova) i coroana n Romnia, ar membr a Uniunii Europene din 2007.Scrisul su integral devine n mod constant o expresie a unui dramatic destin personal i colectiv. Prin identitatea sa creatoare, acest scris dobndete o inconfundabil expresivitate literar. El poart marca cert a anvergurii canonice.“ (Marian Victor Buciu) Aura Christi a gsit limbajul n care s toarne experiene ce preau s se afle dincolo de posibilitatea articulrii discursive: prbuirea umanitii pn la nivelul la care cineva ucide cu aprobarea deplin a contiinei n numele unei idei, procesul de nlocuire a omului din om printr-un monstru. Nu statistica crimei, impresionant aa cum e ea, o intereseaz pe Aura Christi. Ea l toarn pe Dostoievski n Nietzsche pentru a face anatomia rului absolut. Rul din inima omului. Titlurile crilor sale sunt gritoare n privina geografiei lor morale: Casa din ntuneric, Sfera frigului, Cercul slbatic. n Vest, filosoful Nietzsche a fost cel care a influenat epistemologia postmodern prin deconstrucia logocentrismului. n Romnia, Nietzsche al moralei demistificate e cel care a influenat dou mini strlucite ale literaturii contemporane: Nicolae Breban i Aura Christi. Romancierul Nicolae Breban l-a ales pe un Nietzsche masculin, al voinei de putere i al sufletelor de stpni. Aura Christi a fost atras de Nietzsche al aporiilor, cel care, n Ecce homo, i suprapune pe Christ i Dionisos. Dup cum spune Aura Christi, blndeea sfrind n gheare“. Ea este o scriitoare a unui Est czut, care i mai include pe Ismail Kundera, Bashkim Shehu, sau pe Fraii Strugatski, deoarece la toi o realitate comaresc e redat prin frnturi de suflet omenesc.“ (Maria-Ana Tupan)

Literary Taste: How to Form It
Arnold Bennett
¥8.09
Dodo Collections brings you another classic from Arnold Bennett, ‘"Literary Taste: How to Form It".’ ? Literary Taste, which has a sub-title "how to form it, with detailed instructions for collecting a complete library of English Literarure", came into that category, and was a very successful publication. More than 100 years after it first appeared (in 1909) it will seem rather quaint, but there is much of value in it, and, bearing in mind that much good and great literary work has been produced in modern times, it is still worth a study. Remember it is a book that pointed the way for the generation of our grandfathers and great-grandfathers! ? Enoch Arnold Bennett (always known as Arnold Bennett) was one of the most remarkable literary figures of his time, a product of the English Potteries that he made famous as the Five Towns. Yet he could hardly wait to escape his home town, and he did so by the sheer force of his ambition to succeed as an author. In his time he turned his hand to every kind of writing, but he will be remembered for such novels as The Old Wives' Tale, the Clayhanger trilogy (Clayhanger, Hilda Lessways, and These Twain), and The Card. He also wrote such intriguing self-improvement books as Literary Taste, How To Live on 24 Hours a Day, The Human Machine, etc. ? After a local education Bennett finished his education at the University of London and for a time was editor of Woman magazine. After 1900 he devoted himself entirely to writing; dramatic criticism was one of his foremost interests. Bennett is best known, however, for his novels, several of which were written during his residence in France. ? Bennett's infancy was spent in genteel poverty, which gave way to prosperity as his father succeeded as a solicitor. From this provincial background he became a novelist. ? His enduring fame is as a Chronicler of the Potteries towns, the setting and inspiration of some of his most famous and enduring literary work and the place where he grew up.

Thomas Jefferson
¥8.09
According to Wikipedia: "Thomas Jefferson (April 13, 1743 – July 4, 1826)[1] was the third President of the United States (1801–1809), the principal author of the Declaration of Independence (1776), and one of the most influential Founding Fathers for his promotion of the ideals of republicanism in the United States. Major events during his presidency include the Louisiana Purchase (1803) and the Lewis and Clark Expedition (1804–1806). As a political philosopher, Jefferson was a man of the Enlightenment and knew many intellectual leaders in Britain and France. He idealized the independent yeoman farmer as exemplar of republican virtues, distrusted cities and financiers, and favored states' rights and a strictly limited federal government. Jefferson supported the separation of church and state[2] and was the author of the Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom (1779, 1786). He was the eponym of Jeffersonian democracy and the co-founder and leader of the Democratic-Republican Party, which dominated American politics for a quarter-century. Jefferson served as the wartime Governor of Virginia (1779–1781), first United States Secretary of State (1789–1793) and second Vice President (1797–1801). A polymath, Jefferson achieved distinction as, among other things, a horticulturist, statesman, architect, archaeologist, inventor, and founder of the University of Virginia."

Collection of humorous essays. According to Wikipedia: "Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874 - 1936) was an influential English writer of the early 20th century. His prolific and diverse output included journalism, philosophy, poetry, biography, Christian apologetics, fantasy and detective fiction. Chesterton has been called the "prince of paradox."[1] He wrote in an off-hand, whimsical prose studded with startling formulations. For example: "Thieves respect property. They merely wish the property to become their property that they may more perfectly respect it."[2] He is one of the few Christian thinkers who are equally admired and quoted by both liberal and conservative Christians, and indeed by many non-Christians. Chesterton's own theological and political views were far too nuanced to fit comfortably under the "liberal" or "conservative" banner."

Anton Chekhov

From the Translator's Note: "Of the eighteen hundred and ninety letters published by Chekhov's family I have chosen for translation these letters and passages from letters which best to illustrate Chekhov's life, character and opinions. The brief memoir is abridged and adapted from the biographical sketch by his brother Mihail. Chekhov's letters to his wife after his marriage have not as yet been published." According to Wikipedia: "Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860 – 1904) was a Russian short-story writer, playwright and physician, considered to be one of the greatest short-story writers in world literature. His career as a dramatist produced four classics and his best short stories are held in high esteem by writers and critics Chekhov practised as a doctor throughout most of his literary career: "Medicine is my lawful wife," he once said, "and literature is my mistress." Chekhov renounced the theatre after the disastrous reception of The Seagull in 1896; but the play was revived to acclaim in 1898 by Constantin Stanislavski's Moscow Art Theatre, which subsequently also produced Uncle Vanya and premiered Chekhov’s last two plays, Three Sisters and The Cherry Orchard. These four works present a special challenge to the acting ensemble as well as to audiences, because in place of conventional action Chekhov offers a "theatre of mood" and a "submerged life in the text." Chekhov had at first written stories only for the money, but as his artistic ambition grew, he made formal innovations which have influenced the evolution of the modern short story. His originality consists in an early use of the stream-of-consciousness technique, later adopted by James Joyce and other modernists, combined with a disavowal of the moral finality of traditional story structure He made no apologies for the difficulties this posed to readers, insisting that the role of an artist was to ask questions, not to answer them."

Frances Anne Kemble
¥8.09
Autobiographical journal, with first-hand account of slavery in Georgia, first published in 1863. According to Wikipedia: "Frances Anne Kemble (27 November 1809 - 15 January 1893), was a famous British actress and author in the early and mid nineteenth century… In 1834, she retired from the stage to marry an American, Pierce Butler, grandson of the Founding Father Pierce Butler, and heir to a large fortune founded on cotton, tobacco and rice... Butler squandered a fortune estimated at $700,000, but was saved from bankruptcy by the March 2–3, 1859 sale of his 436 slaves at Ten Broeck racetrack, outside Savannah, Georgia—the largest single slave auction in American history. Following the American Civil War, he tried to make his plantations profitable with free labor, but was unsuccessful. Butler died in Georgia, of malaria, in 1867. Neither he nor Fanny ever remarried... In 1877, Fanny returned to England, where she lived using her maiden name till her death. During this period, Fanny Kemble was a prominent and popular figure in the social life of London. She became a great friend of and inspiration for Henry James during her later years. His novel Washington Square (1880) was based upon a story Fanny had told him concerning one of her relatives... Her various volumes of reminiscences contain much valuable material illuminating the social and dramatic history of the period. Her elder daughter Sarah married a doctor, Owen Jones Wister, and they had one child, Owen Wister (b. 1860), the popular American novelist and author of the 1902 western novel, The Virginian."

Queen Elizabeth
Jacob Abbott

According to Wikipedia: "Elizabeth I (7 September 1533 – 24 March 1603) was Queen regnant of England and Queen regnant of Ireland from 17 November 1558 until her death. Sometimes called The Virgin Queen, Gloriana, or Good Queen Bess, Elizabeth was the fifth and last monarch of the Tudor dynasty. The daughter of Henry VIII, she was born a princess, but her mother, Anne Boleyn, was executed two and a half years after her birth, and Elizabeth was declared illegitimate. Her brother, Edward VI, bequeathed the crown to Lady Jane Grey, cutting his sisters out of the succession. His will was set aside, Lady Jane Grey was executed, and in 1558 Elizabeth succeeded the Catholic Mary I, during whose reign she had been imprisoned for nearly a year on suspicion of supporting Protestant rebels... Elizabeth's reign is known as the Elizabethan era, famous above all for the flourishing of English drama, led by playwrights such as William Shakespeare and Christopher Marlowe, and for the seafaring prowess of English adventurers such as Sir Francis Drake. Some historians are more reserved in their assessment. They depict Elizabeth as a short-tempered,[4] sometimes indecisive ruler,[5] who enjoyed more than her share of luck. Towards the end of her reign, a series of economic and military problems weakened her popularity to the point where many of her subjects were relieved at her death. Elizabeth is acknowledged as a charismatic performer and a dogged survivor, in an age when government was ramshackle and limited and when monarchs in neighbouring countries faced internal problems that jeopardised their thrones. Such was the case with Elizabeth's rival, Mary, Queen of Scots, whom she imprisoned in 1568 and eventually had executed in 1587. After the short reigns of Elizabeth's brother and sister, her 44 years on the throne provided welcome stability for the kingdom and helped forge a sense of national identity."
