A Christmas Carol (Illustrated)
¥8.09
With 8 illustrations. The classic Dickens novel. According to Wikipedia: "Charles John Huffam Dickens, 1812 – 1870), pen-name "Boz", was one of the most popular English novelists of the Victorian era, as well as a vigorous social campaigner. Critics George Gissing and G. K. Chesterton championed Dickens's mastery of prose, his endless invention of unique, clever personalities, and his powerful social sensibilities, but fellow writers such as George Henry Lewes, Henry James, and Virginia Woolf faulted his work for sentimentality, implausible occurrences, and grotesque characterizations. The popularity of Dickens's novels and short stories has meant that they have never gone out of print Many of Dickens's novels first appeared in periodicals and magazines in serialized form—a popular format for fiction at the time—and, unlike many other authors who completed entire novels before serial production commenced, Dickens often composed his works in parts, in the order in which they were meant to appear. Such a practice lent his stories a particular rhythm, punctuated by one minor "cliffhanger" after another, to keep the public looking forward to the next installment."
Faust, a Tragedy (Part 1)
¥8.09
The classic drama about a deal with the devil, in English translation. According to Wikipedia: "Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's Faust is a tragic play in two parts... Faust is Goethe's most famous work and considered by many to be one of the greatest works of German literature. Goethe completed a preliminary version of Part One in 1806. The 1808 publication was followed by the revised 1828–29 edition, which was the last to be edited by Goethe himself... Goethe finished writing Faust Part Two in 1831. In contrast to Faust Part One, the focus here is no longer on the soul of Faust, which has been sold to the devil, but rather on social phenomena such as psychology, history and politics, in addition to mystical and philosophical topics. The second part formed the principal occupation of Goethe's last years. It appeared only posthumously in 1832."

By the time of his death he had been almost completely forgotten, but his longest novel, Moby-Dick — largely considered a failure during his lifetime, and most responsible for Melville's fall from favor with the reading public — was recognized in the 20th century as one of the chief literary masterpieces of both American and world literature."

La momentul rememor?rii i se p?ru c?, de fapt, ziua aceea a avut ceva straniu; prea multe contraste, o prea bizar? combina?ie cromatic?, o var? ca ?n tablourile trompe l’?il, cu frig ?i soare, amestec inextricabil de agonie ?i plenitudine. O lumin? solar? parc? vomat? de viscerele unui canceros, un galben-delir metamorfoz?ndu-se ?n crepuscul s?nger?nd, de?i atunci nu avusese absolut deloc aceast? senza?ie.
