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."
The Silverado Squatters

Travelogue/memoir of a stay in a ghost town in northern California on Mount Saint Helena in the 1870s. 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."
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. "
Richard III
￥8.09
According to Wikipedia: "Richard III (2 October 1452 – 22 August 1485) was King of England for two years, from 1483 until his death in 1485 during the Battle of Bosworth Field. He was the last king of the House of York and the last of the Plantagenet dynasty. His defeat at the Battle of Bosworth Field was the decisive battle of the Wars of the Roses and is sometimes regarded as the end of the Middle Ages in England. He is the subject of an eponymous historical play by William Shakespeare. When his brother Edward IV died in April 1483, Richard was named Lord protector of the realm for Edward's son and successor, the 12-year-old King Edward V... There were two major rebellions against Richard. The first, in October 1483, was led by staunch opponents of Edward IV and most notably by Richard's former ally, Henry Stafford, 2nd Duke of Buckingham. The revolt collapsed and Buckingham was executed at Salisbury near the Bull's Head Inn. In August 1485 there was another rebellion against Richard, headed by Henry Tudor, 2nd Earl of Richmond (later King Henry VII) and his uncle Jasper. The rebels landed troops, composed mainly of mercenaries, and Richard fell in the Battle of Bosworth Field, the last English king to die in battle (and the only king to die in battle on English soil since Harold II, at the Battle of Hastings in 1066)."
Richard I
￥8.09
According to Wikipedia: "Richard I (8 September 1157 – 6 April 1199) was King of England from 6 July 1189 until his death. He also ruled as Duke of Normandy, Duke of Aquitaine, Duke of Gascony, Lord of Ireland, Lord of Cyprus, Count of Anjou, Count of Maine, Count of Nantes, and Overlord of Brittany at various times during the same period. He was known as C?ur de Lion, or Richard the Lionheart, even before his accession, because of his reputation as a great military leader and warrior.[1] The Saracens called him Melek-Ric or Malek al-Inkitar - King of England. By age 16, Richard was commanding his own army, putting down rebellions in Poitou against his father, King Henry II.[1] Richard was a central Christian commander during the Third Crusade, effectively leading the campaign after the departure of Philip Augustus and scoring considerable victories against his Muslim counterpart, Saladin, but was unable to reconquer Jerusalem. Although only speaking French and spending very little time in England (he lived in his Duchy of Aquitaine, in the southwest of France, preferring to use his kingdom as a source of revenue to support his armies), he was seen as a pious hero by his subjects. He remains one of the very few Kings of England remembered by his epithet, rather than regnal number, and is an enduring, iconic figure in England."

Romulus
￥8.09
According to Wikipedia: "Romulus and Remus are Rome's twin founders in its traditional foundation myth, although the former is sometimes said to be the sole founder. Their maternal grandfather is Numitor, rightful king of Alba Longa, a descendant of the Trojan prince, Aeneas and father to Rhea Silvia (also known as Ilia). Before their conception, Numitor's brother Amulius deposes his brother, kills his sons and forces Rhea to become a Vestal Virgin, intending to deprive Numitor of lawful heirs and thus secure his own position; but Rhea conceives Romulus and Remus by the god Mars or the demi-god Hercules. When the twins are born, Amulius has them exposed to die but they are saved by a series of miraculous interventions. A she-wolf finds them and suckles them. Then a shepherd and his wife foster them and raise them to manhood as shepherds. The twins prove to be natural leaders, and acquire many followers. When told their true identities, they kill Amulius, restore Numitor to the throne of Alba Longa and decide to found a new city for themselves."

Minden Egész elt?r?tt, Minden láng csak részekben lobban, Minden szerelem darabokban, Minden Egész elt?r?tt. Fut velem egy rossz szekér, Utána mintha jaj-szó szállna, Félig mély cs?nd és félig lárma, Fut velem egy rossz szekér. Ride in the night How broken’s today the Moon, And how dismal and mute is this night, Today I am how sad and not blithe, How broken’s today the Moon. All the Wholes are broken now, And all the flames flare up in small parts, And all the loves are broken in hearts, All the Wholes are broken now. Bad cart is running with me, As if a cry of pain would there sound, Profound’s the still and partly din’s round, Bad cart is running with me.

Mennyi ideig tart ki a Camino varázsa? Meddig maradhat valaki zarándok egy nagyvárosban? Ha megkérdezték, azt mondtam: ?r?kre! Pedig egyre nyilvánvalóbbá vált, hogy ez nem igaz. Tudtam, hogy rossz d?ntést hoztam. Addigra azonban már kés? volt, újra a régi lendülettel tepertem a mókuskerékben. Sejtettem, hogy a testem azt próbálja jelezni, hogy nem jó az irány. Figyelmeztetni akar, hogy tévúton járok. Nem lehet visszafordulni, nem szabad visszatérni ahhoz, aminek egyszer már teljes meggy?z?déssel hátat fordítottam, ami szembe megy a lelkiismeretemmel és az ?nbecsülésemmel. Ezúttal mégsem hallgattam a bels? hangomra. Számokat láttam magam el?tt, amelyek igencsak jól mutattak. A lelki béke, a felh?tlen szabadság érzése azonban gellert kapott. ?jra sokat szorongtam, és egyre gyakrabban jutott eszembe, hogy az életem véges. Pakolászni kezdtem magam k?rül, azt hiszem, rendbe akartam tenni a dolgaimat. A világéletemben hangoztatott ?én mindig mindent megoldok” jelmondat halkulni kezdett, bizonytalanná, er?tlenné vált. ?Ki kell bírnom egy ideig” – ez lett az új célkit?zés. A helyzet rosszabb volt, mint ami miatt pár éve világgá mentem onnan. ?m addigra már nyakig benne voltam a s?r?jében, és minden nap azt számolgattam, hány hónapnyi t?réssel tudok megszerezni pár év szerény anyagi biztonságot. Amire aztán nem kerülhetett sor, mert a sors a fejemre koppintott.
Megszépítés nélkül: Egy sváb család hányattatásai
￥57.31
Hasas hófelh?kkel terhes ólomszürke ég borul a vidéki kisvárosra. Tóth János tanító családjában disznóvágás lesz, s míg a toros vacsorára készülnek, váratlan események zúzzák szét a hétk?znapok nyugalmát, évtizedek óta felszín alatt lappangó ellentéteket robbantva ki. Két nap leforgása alatt két család élete fordul f?l fenekestül. Két családé, amelyek mindenben kül?nb?znek egymástól, s amelyek sorsát mégis eltéphetetlenül egybefonja a huszadik század t?rténelme. A szegénysorból származó Tóth Jánost ?zvegy édesanyja hihetetlen áldozatok árán taníttatta. Tóth mégis elhagyja ?t és két testvérét, mert belebolondul a valaha jómódú f?ldbirtokos Kémeryék ifjabbik lányába, Paulába. ?t n?vérével és ?ccsével a fukar, szigorú nagymama neveli, akit?l a gyerekek t?bb verést kapnak, mint szeretetet vagy ételt. Nem csoda hát, hogy miután a g?g?s Paula hozzákényszerül ?ccse házitanítójához, Tóth Jánoshoz, a férfinak szüntelen megvetés és megaláztatás jut osztályrészül. Vajon meddig tartható fenn egy kapcsolat, amely az egyik félnek mindent, a másiknak semmit sem jelent? A?Disznótor?az eltemetett titkok regénye: egyszerre s?tét tónusú b?nügyi t?rténet és megrázó, g?r?g sorstragédia. Régi, fájdalmas emlékeket ébresztett bennem a?Disznótor?elolvasása. Hiszen a vallásos, puritán Hajdúság, ahol a regény játszódik, egyben saját gyerekkorom színhelye is, annak minden szépségével és drámájával. Ahogy Szabó Magda is fogalmaz, a k?nyv ?üzenet (…) abból a hajdani világból emebbe”. A nagyszüleim múltba vesz? világából, amelyben nem volt virtualitás, az emberek ?igazi” életet éltek, cselekedeteiknek súlyuk és k?vetkezményük volt, a becsületnek pedig nem volt alternatívája.?– Sándor Anikó
