A Voyage to Laputa, Balnibarbi, Luggnagg, Glubbdubdrib and Japan
A Voyage to Laputa, Balnibarbi, Luggnagg, Glubbdubdrib and Japan
Jonathan Swift
¥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.

Crotchet Castle
Thomas Love Peacock

In one of those beautiful valleys, through which the Thames not yet polluted by the tide, the scouring of cities, or even the minor defilement of the sandy streams of Surrey rolls a clear flood through flowery meadows, under the shade of old beech woods, and the smooth mossy greensward of the chalk hills which pour into it their tributary rivulets, as pure and pellucid as the fountain of Bandusium, or the wells of Scamander, by which the wives and daughters of the Trojans washed their splendid garments in the days of peace, before the coming of the Greeks...

Lost Illusions
Honore de Balzac

Lucien Chardon, the son of a lower middle-class father and an impoverished mother of remote aristocratic descent, is the pivotal figure of the entire work. Living at Angouleme, he is impoverished, impatient, handsome and ambitious. His widowed mother, his sister Eve and his best friend, David Sechard, do nothing to lessen his high opinion of his own talents, for it is an opinion they share.
The Last Chronicle of Barset
The Last Chronicle of Barset
Anthony Trollope

The Archdeacon, although allowing that Grace is a lady, doesn't think her of high enough rank or wealth for his widowed son; his position is strengthened by the Reverend Mr Crawley's apparent crime. Almost broken by poverty and trouble, the Reverend Mr Crawley hardly knows himself if he is guilty or not; fortunately, the mystery is resolved just as Major Grantly's determination and Grace Crawley's own merit force the Archdeacon to overcome his prejudice against her as a daughter-in-law.

Studies in Self Culture and Character: A Man's Value to Society
Newell Dwight Hillis

Man’s evident failure to make the most out of his material life suggests a study of the elements in each citizen that make him of value to his age and community. What are the measurements of mankind, and why is it that daily some add new treasures to the storehouse of civilization, while others take from and waste the store already accumulated?

Din nord, dup? o experien?? de dasc?l la ?coala din Ieud, Ioan Es. Pop a naufragiat prin ’88, ?n Capital? ca muncitor pe un ?antier, mai apoi, dup? ’89, ca redactor la Luceaf?rul, izbutind s?-?i transforme naufragiul ?n descoperire esen?ial?, precum eroul lui Defoe. Cu migal?, cu entuziasm, cu r?bdare, cu Vineri, Robinson a f?cut din naufragiul s?u o terapeutic? a oric?rei alien?ri, inclusiv a celei de sine ?nsu?i. Cu talent, cu intui?ie, cu imagina?ie, cu nou?zeci?tii, Ioan Es. Pop ?i-a convertit naufragiul ?ntr-o splendid? revocare dramatic-liric? a neantului zilnic, cum numai poe?ilor de tot li se poate ?nt?mpla. Ieudul f?r? ie?ire este expresia plin? de prospe?ime poetic? a cestei convertiri. Lauren?iu Ulici
