Max Brand

The Great West prior to the century's turn abounded in legend. Stories were told of fabled gunmen whose bullets always magically found their mark of mighty stallions whose tireless gallop rivaled the speed of the wind of glorious women whose beauty stunned mind and heart. But nowhere in the vast spread of the mountain-desert country was there a greater legend told than the story of Red Pierre and the phantom gunfighter McGurk.

Alphonse Daudet

"Le curé de Chemillé s'en allait porter le Bon Dieu à un malade. Vraiment, c'était pitié de songer que quelqu'un pouvait mourir par un si beau jour d'été, en plein Angélus de midi, le moment de la vie et de la lumière. C'était pitié aussi de songer que ce pauvre curé avait été obligé de se mettre en route tout de suite en sortant de table, à l'heure où d'habitude il allait – le bréviaire aux mains – faire un bout de sieste sous sa petite tonnelle de vigne, au frais et au repos d'un joli jardin plein de pêches m?res et de roses trémières."

La Galatea
La Galatea
Miguel Cervantes
¥8.82
La Galatea suele considerarse como una novela pastoril. Es verdad que los personajes son pastores, pero la novela va mucho más allá, desarrolla un estudio psicológico del amor, siendo este el propósito de Cervantes al escribirla. La novela empezó a redactarse cuando Cervantes volvió de su cautiverio en Argel (diciembre de 1580). No tuvo mucho éxito en las librerías, en comparación con el enorme de la Diana de Montemayor y el grandísimo de la Diana enamorada de Gil Polo. Cervantes tuvo durante toda su vida un altísimo concepto de su novela y la intención de publicar la segunda parte, pero murió sin haberlo hecho.

Jules Verne

Michael Strogoff: The Courier of the Czar (French: Michel Strogoff) is a novel written by Jules Verne in 1876. Critics, including Leonard S. Davidow, consider it one of Verne's best books. Davidow wrote, "Jules Verne has written no better book than this, in fact it is deservedly ranked as one of the most thrilling tales ever written." Unlike some of Verne's other novels, it is not science fiction, but a scientific phenomenon (Leidenfrost effect) is a plot device. The book was later adapted to a play, by Verne himself and Adolphe d'Ennery. Incidental music to the play was written by Alexandre Artus in 1880. The book has been adapted several times for films, television and cartoon series.

The Mystery of the Semi-Detached
Edith Nesbit

" He was waiting for her, he had been waiting an hour and a half in a dusty suburban lane, with a row of big elms on one side and some eligible building sites on the other-and far away to the south-west the twinkling yellow lights of the Crystal Palace. It was not quite like a country lane, for it had a pavement and lamp-posts, but it was not a bad place for a meeting all the same: and farther up, towards the cemetery, it was really quite rural, and almost pretty, especially in twilight But twilight had long deepened into the night, and still he waited. He loved her, and he was engaged to be married to her, with the complete disapproval of every reasonable person who had been consulted. And this half-clandestine meeting was tonight to take the place of the grudgingly sanctioned weekly interview-because a certain rich uncle was visiting at her house, and her mother was not the woman to acknowledge to a moneyed uncle, who might "go off" any day, a match so deeply ineligible as hers with him.

Dubliners
Dubliners
James Joyce
¥8.82
Dubliners is a collection of 15 short stories by James Joyce, first published in 1914. The fifteen stories were meant to be a naturalistic depiction of the Irish middle class life in and around Dublin in the early years of the 20th century. The stories were written at the time when Irish nationalism was at its peak, and a search for a national identity and purpose was raging; at a crossroads of history and culture, Ireland was jolted by various converging ideas and influences. They center on Joyce's idea of an epiphany: a moment where a character has a special moment of self-understanding or illumination. Many of the characters in Dubliners later appear in minor roles in Joyce's novel Ulysses. The initial stories in the collection are narrated by children as protagonists, and as the stories continue, they deal with the lives and concerns of progressively older people. This is in line with Joyce's tripartite division of the collection into childhood, adolescence and maturity.
