Adventure novel, first published in 1918. According to Wikipedia: "Edgar Rice Burroughs (1875 – 1950) was an American author, best known for his creation of the jungle hero Tarzan and the heroic John Carter, although he produced works in many genres."

This edition, with 114 color illustrations, was first published in 1919. According to Wikipedia: "Aesop (ca. 620-564 BC), known for the genre of fables ascribed to him, was by tradition born a slave and was a contemporary of Croesus and Solon in the mid-sixth century BC in ancient Greece... The body of work identified as Aesop's Fables was transmitted by a series of later authors writing in both Greek and Latin. Demetrius of Phalerum (ca. 350-ca. 280 BC) made a collection in ten books, probably in prose (Lopson Aisopeion sunagogai) for the use of orators, which has been lost. Next appeared an edition in elegiac verse, cited by the Suda, but the author's name is unknown. Phaedrus, a freedman of Augustus, rendered the fables into Latin. Babrius turned the fables into Greek choliambics in the earlier part of the 3rd century A.D. Another 3rd century author, Titianus, rendered the fables in prose, now lost. Avianus (of uncertain date, perhaps the 4th century) translated 42 of the fables into Latin elegiacs. The 4th century grammarian Dositheus Magister also made a collection of Aesop's Fables, now lost. Aesop's Fables continued to be revised and translated through the ensuing centuries, with the addition of material from other cultures, so that the fables known today in some cases bear little relation to the original fables of Aesop. With a surge in scholarly interest in Aesop and Aesopic fable beginning toward the end of the 20th century, some attempt has been made to determine the nature and content of the very earliest fables which may be most closely linked to the historic Aesop... Milo Winter (August 7, 1888 – August 15, 1956) was a well known book illustrator, who produced works for editions of Aesop's Fables, Arabian Nights, Alice in Wonderland, Gulliver's Travels, Tanglewood Tales (1913) and others. He was born in Princeton, Illinois and trained at Chicago’s School of the Art Institute. He lived in Chicago until the early 1950s, when he moved to New York City. From 1947 to 1949, he was the art editor of Childcraft books and from 1949, was the art editor in the film strip division of Silver Burdett Company."

Biography by the author of Treasure Island. According to Wikipedia: "Henry Charles Fleeming Jenkin (25 March 1833 - 12 June 1885) was Professor of Engineering at the University of Edinburgh, remarkable for his versatility. Known to the world as the inventor of telpherage, he was an electrician and cable engineer, a lecturer, linguist, critic, actor, dramatist and artist."

Biography of one New England author by another.? According to Wikipedia: "Nathaniel Hawthorne (July 4, 1804 – May 19, 1864) was an American novelist, dark romantic, and short story writer. He was born in 1804 in Salem, Massachusetts to Nathaniel Hathorne and the former Elizabeth Clarke Manning. His ancestors include John Hathorne, the only judge involved in the Salem witch trials who never repented of his actions. He entered Bowdoin College in 1821, was elected to Phi Beta Kappa in 1824,[1] and graduated in 1825. He published his first work in 1828, the novel Fanshawe; he later tried to suppress it, feeling that it was not equal to the standard of his later work.[2] He published several short stories in periodicals, which he collected in 1837 as Twice-Told Tales. The next year, he became engaged to Sophia Peabody. He worked at the Boston Custom House and joined Brook Farm, a transcendentalist community, before marrying Peabody in 1842. The couple moved to The Old Manse in Concord, Massachusetts, later moving to Salem, the Berkshires, then to The Wayside in Concord. The Scarlet Letter was published in 1850, followed by a succession of other novels. A political appointment as consul took Hawthorne and family to Europe before their return to Concord in 1860. Hawthorne died on May 19, 1864, and was survived by his wife and their three children."

Book-length autobiography, first published in the North American Review in 1906. According to Wikipedia: "Samuel Langhorne Clemens (November 30, 1835 - April 21, 1910), better known by the pen name Mark Twain, was a humorist, satirist, lecturer and writer from the United States of America. Twain is most noted for his novels Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, which has since been called the Great American Novel, and The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. He is also known for his quotations. During his lifetime, Twain became a friend to presidents, artists, leading industrialists and European royalty. Twain enjoyed immense public popularity, and his keen wit and incisive satire earned him praise from both critics and peers. American author William Faulkner called Twain 'the father of American literature.'"

Book-length collection. According to Wikipedia: "Oscar Fingal O'Flahertie Wills Wilde (1854 - 1900) was an Irish playwright, novelist, poet, and author of short stories. Known for his barbed wit, he was one of the most successful playwrights of late Victorian London, and one of the greatest celebrities of his day. As the result of a famous trial, he suffered a dramatic downfall and was imprisoned for two years of hard labour after being convicted of the offence of 'gross indecency.'"

Elképzelni sem tudja, mit vár az életét?l. ?j lakása nem éppen ideális, de legalább élhet?, és megengedheti magának. A bérleti díj egészen alacsony, a házkezel? cég ügyn?ke szuperbarátságos, és a rendellenességek inkább csak idegesít?ek, mint nyugtalanítóak.

Owen élete fenekestül felfordul, amikor apja, akit a fiú meggy?z?dése szerint ártatlanul ítéltek el, meghal a b?rt?nben. Monroe, a fiú iskolájának informatikusa felajánlja neki, hogy egy Animus használatával lehet?vé teszi Owen számára, hogy tisztázza apja nevét. Az eszk?z segítségével ugyanis feltárhatja a saját DNS-ében rejl? genetikus emlékeket. ?m Owen nagyobb fába vágta a fejszéjét, mint hitte. A szimuláció alatt ugyanis felfedez egy ?si és nagy hatalmú, rég elveszettnek hitt relikviát – az ?denszigonyt. Két rivális titkos szervezet, az Orgyilkos Testvériség és a Templomos Rend semmit?l sem riad vissza, hogy megszerezze ezt az ereklyét. Owen számára hamarosan nyilvánvalóvá válik, hogy csak úgy menekülhet meg, ha ? találja meg el?sz?r a Szigonyt. Monroe irányítása alatt Owen és néhány másik fiatal egy olyan szimulációba lépnek be, amely a DNS-eikben lév? k?z?s emlékeken alapul: az 1863-as New York-i felkelés idejébe térnek vissza. Owen és társai súlyos kihívásokkal kerülnek szembe a forrongó város utcáin, ott megélt tapasztalatiknak pedig hosszú távú k?vetkezményei lesznek a jelenben. A t?bbsz?r?sen díjnyertes Matthew J.

Miután John és Brooke magára maradt, városról városra stoppolva vadásznak Amerika k?zép-nyugati részén a még megmaradt utolsó Sorvadtakra. Csakhogy a Sorvadtak is vadásznak rájuk, ráadásul az FBI is a nyomukban van. Minden újabb várossal, minden újabb kamionos pihen?vel, minden újabb autópályával egyre k?zelebb kerülnek egy olyan kegyetlen gyilkoshoz, akire John semmilyen jól bejáratott analitikus és el?rejelz? módszere nem alkalmazható. K?zben Brooke meghasadt pszichéje az elméjén osztozó t?bb százezer halott személyiségt?l túlterhelve tántorog az ?sszeomlás peremén. Hol birtokában van szellemi képességeinek, hol nem, és minden nap új nevek, gondolatok és emlékek t?rnek felszínre benne, mígnem felbukkan az a személyiség, akire John végképp nem számított: Senki utolsó áldozata, csapdába esve John egyetlen megmaradt barátjának testében.

A New York Times bestseller Hollóárnyék-trilógia Magyarországon is nagy sikert elért szerz?jének új sorozata! TARTALOM: Véráldottak – olyan férfiak és n?k, akik a vad sárkányok véréb?l készült elixírek elfogyasztásával mérhetetlen er?knek parancsolnak. A Vashajó Szindikátust a véráldottak hatalma tette naggyá. Most azonban pusztító vihar k?zeleg: a sárkányok vérvonala gyengül?ben, a felemelked? Korvantin Birodalom pedig ugrásra készen várja a pillanatot, hogy kihasználhassa a Szindikátus gyengeségét. Ráadásul a vadonban is mozgolódás támad: a sárkányok támadásai egyre gyakoribbá válnak – és ami még ennél is rosszabb, szervezettnek t?nnek. Az utolsó reménysugár nem más, mint egy mitikus sárkány, amelynek nagyerej? vére valódi csodákra képes – ha egyáltalán létezik ez a rejtélyes lény. A sors végül három h?st választ ki magának. Claydon Tocreekre, a lajstromozatlan véráldottra és kisstíl? tolvajra hárul a feladat, hogy az ismeretlen vadonban felkutassa a legendás sárkányt, aminek a létezésében még csak nem is hisz. Lizanne Lethridge, a Szindikátus félelmetes erej?, ifjú elit kéme hirtelen találja magát ellenséges terepen, küldetése egyre veszedelmesebb helyzetekbe sodorja. Corrick Hilemore, az ismert világ peremén cirkáló kalózvadász Vashajó parancsnokhelyettese k?nnyen lehet, hogy túl nagy fába vágta a fejszéjét, amikor a k?ny?rtelen rablók nyomába eredt – és helyettük egy jóval komolyabb ellenséggel kerül szembe. Ahogy a birodalmak egymásnak feszülnek, mindhármuknak harcolni kell azért, amiben hisznek, ha nem akarják, hogy a világot elnyelje az ébred? t?z.

Mit ér az emlékezés, ha senki nem kíváncsi arra, ami elmúlt? B?n-e a hallgatás, ha védeni akarjuk szeretteinket a múlt sz?rny?ségeit?l? Mit tehetünk, ha a t?rténelem megismételni látszik ?nmagát?? Egy újságíró és egy sokat megélt nyolcvannégy éves h?lgy találkozása régi sebeket tép fel. Mélyen eltemetett emlékek kerülnek felszínre: A remény és a hit a kegyetlenséggel szemben, emberek az embertelenségben, és üzleti érdekek, melyek a pokol káoszát irányítják. Mi k?ti ?ssze egy kislány, egy náci tiszt, egy szovjet ezredes és egy m?fordító sorsát hetven év távlatából? ?Ez a t?rténet...

A regény Jókai munkásságának ahhoz a Fekete gyémántokkal megkezdett irányzatához kapcsolódik, melyben a modern ?nagyvilági” életet kívánta ábrázolni. A m? szerkezetileg két lazán ?sszefügg? részre tagolódik. Az els?, A ?tegnap” 1848-49-ben játszódik. F?h?se Illavai Ferenc, igazi Jókai alak: csúnya, de rettenthetetlenül bátor, m?velt, szerény, okos és jóságos. Gyámfiát és egyben unoka?ccsét, Opatovszky Kornélt t?bbsz?r kimenti kül?nféle halálos veszedelmekb?l, noha méltatlan rá, hogy ?r?k?séül megtartsa. Nagy szolgálatot tesz a gróf Tarnaváry családnak, életüket és vagyonukat is megmenti…. A második rész, A ?ma”: az 1860-as évek eleje, a Schmerling-korszak. Mind az Opatovszky-, mind a Tarnaváry-birtok t?nkrement az oktalan spekulációban és az egymással vívott harcban… A regény b?velkedik az izgalmas fordulatokban, ezért szerkezeti és jellemzési gyengéi ellenére kit?n? olvasmány.

After the publication of "The Wonderful Wizard of OZ" I began to receive letters from children, telling me of their pleasure in reading the story and asking me to "write something more" about the Scarecrow and the Tin Woodman. At first I considered these little letters, frank and earnest though they were, in the light of pretty compliments; but the letters continued to come during succeeding months, and even years. Finally I promised one little girl, who made a long journey to see me and prefer her request,—and she is a "Dorothy," by the way—that when a thousand little girls had written me a thousand little letters asking for the Scarecrow and the Tin Woodman I would write the book, Either little Dorothy was a fairy in disguise, and waved her magic wand, or the success of the stage production of "The Wizard of OZ" made new friends for the story, For the thousand letters reached their destination long since—and many more followed them. ? ?And now, although pleading guilty to long delay, I have kept my promise in this book. L. FRANK BAUM., Chicago, June, 1904 To those excellent good fellows and comedians David C. Montgomery and Frank A. Stone whose clever personations of the Tin Woodman and the Scarecrow have delighted thousands of children throughout the land, this book is gratefully dedicated by THE AUTHOR Chapter 1 Tip Manufactures a Pumpkinhead ??In the Country of the Gillikins, which is at the North of the Land of Oz, lived a youth called Tip. There was more to his name than that, for old Mombi often declared that his whole name was Tippetarius; but no one was expected to say such a long word when "Tip" would do just as well. This boy remembered nothing of his parents, for he had been brought when quite young to be reared by the old wom-an known as Mombi, whose reputation, I am sorry to say, was none of the best. For the Gillikin people had reason to suspect her of indulging in magical arts, and therefore hesi-tated to associate with her. Mombi was not exactly a Witch, because the Good Witch who ruled that part of the Land of Oz had forbidden any oth-er Witch to exist in her dominions. So Tip's guardian, how-ever much she might aspire to working magic, realized it was unlawful to be more than a Sorceress, or at most a Wizardess. ? Tip was made to carry wood from the forest, that the old woman might boil her pot. He also worked in the corn-fields, hoeing and husking; and he fed the pigs and milked the four-horned cow that was Mombi's especial pride... ?
