Familiar Studies of Men and Books

This collection of essays includes: VICTOR HUGO'S ROMANCES, SOME ASPECTS OF ROBERT BURNS, WALT WHITMAN, HENRY DAVID THOREAU: HIS CHARACTER AND OPINIONS, YOSHIDA-TORAJIRO, FRANCOIS VILLON, STUDENT, POET, AND HOUSE-BREAKER, CHARLES OF ORLEANS, SAMUEL PEPYS, and JOHN KNOX AND WOMEN. 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."

During the course of her life, Leonowens also lived in Aden, Australia, Singapore, the United States and Canada. Among other achievements, she co-founded the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design."
The New Jerusalem
￥8.09
Travelogue and related 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."

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. "

Letters of Pliny
￥8.09
Classic collection of letters. According to Wikipedia: "Gaius Plinius Caecilius Secundus, born Gaius Caecilius or Gaius Caecilius Cilo (61 AD – ca. 112 AD), better known as Pliny the Younger, was a lawyer, author, and magistrate of Ancient Rome. Pliny's uncle, Pliny the Elder, helped raise and educated him. They were both witnesses to the eruption of Vesuvius on 24 August 79 AD. Pliny is known for his hundreds of surviving letters, which are an invaluable historical source for the time period. Many are addressed to reigning emperors or to notables such as the historian, Tacitus. Pliny himself was a notable figure, serving as an imperial magistrate under Trajan (reigned AD 98–117)."
Books and Persons: Being Comments on a Past Epoch (1908-1911)
￥8.09
Dodo Collections brings you another classic from Arnold Bennett, ‘"Books and Persons; Being Comments on a Past Epoch, 1908-1911".’ ? The contents of this book have been chosen from a series of weekly articles which enlivened the?New Ageduring the years 1908, 1909, 1910, and 1911, under the pseudonym "Jacob Tonson." The man responsible for the republication is the dedicatee, who, having mysteriously demanded from me back numbers of theNew Age, sat in my house one Sunday afternoon and in four hours read through the entire series. He then announced that he had made a judicious selection, and that the selection must positively be issued in volume form. Mr. Frank Swinnerton approved the selection and added to it slightly. In my turn I suggested a few more additions. The total amounts to one-third of the original matter. Beyond correcting misprints, softening the crudity of several epithets, and censoring lines here and there which might give offence without helping the sacred cause, I have not altered the articles. They appear as they were journalistically written in Paris, London, Switzerland, and the Forest of Fontainebleau. In particular I have left the critical judgments alone, for the good reason that I stand by nearly all of them, though perhaps with a less challenging vivacity, to this day. ARNOLD BENNETT February 1917 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 hometown, 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.

Cartea junglei

Celebrul, iubitul ?i controversatul profesor de filozofie Ion Petrovici a avut o via?? fracturat?. ?ntr-o vreme, a urcat p?n? pe Everestul performan?ei ?i al recunoa?terii publice, de unde, atunci c?nd istoria s-a virusat de o ideologie apocaliptic?, s-a pr?bu?it direct ?n groapa Marianelor – b?ntuit? de tot felul de silnicii ?i nes?buin?e. Mult? vreme s-a am?git cu ?n?elesul m?ng?ietor al filosofiei (De consolation philosophie), a?a cum i-l h?r?zise cei vechi, dar s-a ?i ?nfiorat de mizeriile ei, atunci c?nd a v?zut-o dec?zut? ?n condi?ia de surogat ideologic. Oare trebuia, dup? ce-a privit lumea prin sp?rtura pe?terii lui Platon, s-o p?ndeasc? ?i din spatele gratiilor ?i-a z?voarelor trase? Vremurile noi, r?scolnice, l-au g?sit total nepreg?tit. Glasul s?u, obi?nuit s? peroreze ?n aule universitare, ?n Camer?, ?n Academie, ?n cadrul unor fastuase reuniuni interna?ionale a fost, pentru multe decenii, obligat la t?cere. […] Paginile memorialistice reproduse de noi ?n aceast? carte reprezint? doar o diviziune (cap. VIII) dintr-o lucrare mai elaborat? ?i necunoscut?. Nu ?tim unde se g?sesc restul paginilor, dar n?d?jduim c? de?in?torul lor s? g?seasc? o formula de punere ?n circula?ie public? a ?ntregului material pentru a putea reconstitui o perioad? important? din via?a sa ?i, implicit, din istoria acestei ??ri.

Xerxes la Hellespont

E cu putin?? ca un studiu despre Constantin Noica – unul care se respect? ?i vrea s? fie respectat – s? fie scris de un literat? Noica are la noi statutul filosofului tare (faptul se explic? poate tocmai prin absen?a unei filosofii tari ?n spa?iul cultural rom?nesc) ?i, ?n plus, a cam dezavuat literatura, consider?nd-o cumva frivol?. Poate chiar pe scriitori. Prin urmare, s?nt toate datele ca acest fapt s? par? cel pu?in riscant. Dac? nu o insolen??. Doar c? Dorin Popescu, autorul c?r?ii, de?i absolvent de studii filologice, nu e numai ceea ce se nume?te ?ndeob?te prin literat; pe de alt? parte, din confruntarea cu exerci?iul exegetic nici Constantin Noica nu mai iese la fel de ?ncorsetat ?n tiparele prejudec??ilor. Altfel spus, nici Constantin Noica nu mai este Constantin Noica – a?a cum apare ?n tratatele despre filosofia rom?neasc?. (Mircea A. Diaconu)

Ci ?i poetul, memorialistul, filosoful, muzicianul ale c?rui Memorii au fost considerate «adev?rata Enciclopedie a secolului al XVIII lea».“ – Blaise Cendrars „Pu?ine persoane îi pot egala cunoa?terea, inteligen?a ?i imagina?ia.“ – Lamberg ?Via?a monden? ?i amoroas? a lui Casanova a fost consemnat? f?r? pudoare în miile de pagini ale Memoriilor sale, intitulate ?i Povestea vie?ii mele, autobiografie lipsit? de complezen??, care traverseaz?
