Un Rêve
￥8.82
J'ETAIS l'unique souci de maman, et nos deux existences faisaient corps, pour ainsi dire. Ces relations entre parents et enfants ne sont pas toujours recommandables... il arrive même qu'elles soient néfastes. Ajoutez à cela que j'étais fils unique... et la plupart des enfants qui se trouvent dans mon cas ne re?oivent pas une éducation normale. En les élevant, les parents songent trop à eux-mêmes... Cela n'est pas bon. Je n'étais ni g?té, ni aigri (deux défauts qui guettent tous les enfants uniques), mais mon système nerveux avait été ébranlé prématurément. D'ailleurs, en général, ma santé laissait fort à désirer : j'avais hérité cela de ma mère, à qui je ressemblais beaucoup, à tous les points de vue.
First Love
￥8.82
Vladimir Petrovich Voldemar, a 16-year-old, is staying in the country with his family and meets Zinaida Alexandrovna Zasyekina, a beautiful 21-year-old woman, staying with her mother, Princess Zasyekina, in a wing of the manor. This family, as with many of the Russian minor nobility with royal ties of that time, were only afforded a degree of respectability because of their titles; the Zasyekins, in the case of this story, are a very poor family. The young Vladimir falls irretrievably in love with Zinaida, who has a set of several other (socially more eligible) suitors whom he joins in their difficult and often fruitless search for the young lady's favour.

Balaoo
￥8.82
Ce roman commence comme un policier classique. Une série de meurtres terrorise un village d'Auvergne et une enquête commence, au cours de laquelle les principaux personnages se mettent en place : un vieux savant bizarre, sa fille - ravissante, bien s?r - son fiancé, un grand benêt de clerc de notaire, le domestique du savant et une famille de repris de justice, cachée dans les bois, composée de trois frères - les méchants de l'histoire et les suspects évidents, ainsi que de leur soeur, une sauvageonne. Puis le roman oblique vers le thème du savant fou, dont les créations échappent à son contr?le et sont à l'origine de désastres... De plus nous découvrons que M. No?l s'appelle en réalité Baloo et est amoureux fou, sans espoir, de la jolie fille... Un roman éclectique, qui part un peu dans tous les sens, comme cela arrivait parfois avec les feuilletons écrits au jour le jour, mais qui nous offre un certain nombre d'épisode complètement délirants qui valent la peine d'être lus.
Le Coup d'état de Chéri-Bibi
￥8.82
L'action se situe dans le Paris de la fin du XIXe siècle, après la Commune, dans un contexte politique trouble, hésitant entre les fant?mes de la première révolution, la montée du collectivisme et un modèle républicain clientéliste et conservateur. Chéri-Bibi, ancien bagnard condamné à tort, entreprend un coup d'état destiné à assainir la République et ses institutions. Il utilise pour cela un personnage - le commandant Jacques, militaire idéaliste qui s'est illustré dans une guerre récente, et dont on apprendra, au fil de multiples rebondissements qu'il est son fils. Gaston Leroux met en scène toute une galerie de personnages haut en couleurs - la belle Sonia, les tra?tres, les notables de la république, les citoyens ordinaires entra?nés malgré eux, dans un contexte détonnant où tout peut arriver - et arrive. ? la fois roman d'aventures et politique, nous sommes entra?nés dans un tourbillon d'évènements, une déclinaison de tra?trises, d'actions héro?ques, d'histoires d'amour et d'idéaux. Une description saisissante du Paris de la fin du XIXe siècle, et des couches de la population qui s'y croisent.
Les Mohicans de Babel
￥8.82
Dans le Paris débridé des année folles, alors que le gouvernement est aux abois, on ne parle que d'un mystérieux malfaiteur, tout-puissant, ?le Grand X?. Un riche banquier et homme politique, Milion-Lauenbourg, est le père d'une très jolie fille, Sylvie, amoureuse d'un député adversaire de son père, Claude Corbières. Celui-ci dirige la ligue anti parlementaire. Milion-Lauenbourg dirige ses affaires gr?ce à l'aide inestimable de M. Barnabé, aux allures de petit bureaucrate radin, mais qui en fait conna?t tout de la banque. Il a recours aux services de Dumont, chef de la Sureté, prototype du policier avide de pouvoir. D'autres comparses gravitent autour de ces personnages, hommes politiques, truands, parents... L'intrigue est foisonnante, délirante, les nuits de Paris sont pleines de stupre et de sang. L'auteur se livre à une féroce satire de la société de son temps et dénonce la médiocrité des élites, la dégénérescence de la noblesse et la corruption des politiciens.

Henry VI (Complete Plays)
￥8.82
The First Part of King Henry the Sixth is history play by William Shakespeare, believed written in approximately 1588–1590. It is the first in the cycle of four plays often referred to as "The First Tetralogy". The Second Part of King Henry the Sixth, or Henry VI, Part 2, is a history play by William Shakespeare believed written in approximately 1590-91. It is the second part of the trilogy on Henry VI, and often grouped together with Richard III as a tetralogy on The Wars of the Roses—the success of which established Shakespeare's reputation as a playwright. Henry the Sixth, Part 3, is a history play by William Shakespeare, believed written in approximately 1590, and set during the lifetime of King Henry VI of England. It prepares the ground for one of his best-known and most controversial plays: the tragedy of King Richard III (Richard III of England). It continues the action from Henry VI, Part 1 and Henry VI, Part 2, though they may not have been written in that order.
Pericles, Prince of Tyre
￥8.82
Pericles, Prince of Tyre is a play written (at least in part) by William Shakespeare and included in modern editions of his collected works despite some questions over its authorship, as it was not included in the First Folio. Many modern editors believe that Shakespeare is responsible for the main portion of the play after scene 9 that follows the story of Pericles and Marina, and that the first two acts, detailing the many voyages of Pericles, were written by a relatively untalented reviser or collaborator, possibly George Wilkins.
The Poison Belt
￥8.82
The Poison Belt was the second story, a novella, that Sir Arthur Conan Doyle wrote about Professor Challenger. Written in 1913, roughly a year before the outbreak of World War I, much of it takes place--rather oddly, given that it follows The Lost World, a story set in the jungle--in a room in Challenger's house. This would be the last story written about Challenger until the 1920s, by which time Doyle's spiritualist beliefs had begun to affect his writing.
Rodney Stone
￥8.82
Rodney Stone is a Gothic mystery and boxing novel by Scottish writer Sir Arthur Conan Doyle first published in 1896.
The Red Fairy Book
￥8.82
Andrew Lang's Fairy Books or Andrew Lang's "Coloured" Fairy Books constitute a twelve-book series of fairy tale collections. Although Andrew Lang did not collect the stories himself from the oral tradition, the extent of his sources, who had collected them originally (with the notable exception of Madame d'Aulnoy), made them an immensely influential collection, especially as he used foreign-language sources, giving many of these tales their first appearance in English. As acknowledged in the prefaces, although Lang himself made most of the selections, his wife and other translators did a large portion of the translating and telling of the actual stories. The Red Fairy Book is the second in the series.
The Arabian Nights
￥8.82
One Thousand and One Nights is a collection of stories collected over many centuries by various authors, translators and scholars in various countries across the Middle East and South Asia. These collections of tales trace their roots back to ancient Arabia and Yemen, ancient Indian literature and Persian literature, ancient Egyptian literature and Mesopotamian mythology, ancient Syria and Asia Minor, and medieval Arabic folk stories from the Caliphate era. Though the oldest Arabic manuscript dates from the fourteenth century, scholarship generally dates the collection's genesis to somewhere between AD 800–900.

David Copperfield
￥8.82
David Copperfield is the novel that draws most closely from Charles Dickens's own life. Its eponymous hero, orphaned as a boy, grows up to discover love and happiness, heartbreak and sorrow amid a cast of eccentrics, innocents, and villains. Praising Dickens's power of invention, Somerset Maugham wrote: "There were never such people as the Micawbers, Peggotty and Barkis, Traddles, Betsey Trotwood and Mr. Dick, Uriah Heep and his mother. They are fantastic inventions of Dickens's exultant imagination...you can never quite forget them."
