„Bucur?-te de fiecare clip? tr?it?!“ „Principala mea preocupare în via?? a fost s? mi cultiv pl?cerile sim?urilor. Sim?indu-m? n?scut pentru sexul opus, l-am iubit întotdeauna ?i m-am l?sat iubit de el. Mi-a pl?cut la nebunie savoarea meselor bune ?i m-a pasionat tot ceea ce era menit s?-mi incite curiozitatea.“ – Casanova Casanova (n. 1725, Vene?ia), „scandalosul ?i insolitul vene?ian, nu a fost doar ceea ce s-a crezut: un aventurier, escroc ?i libertin. Ci ?i poetul, memorialistul, filosoful, muzicianul ale c?rui Memorii au fost considerate «adev?rata Enciclopedie a secolului al XVIII lea».“ – Blaise Cendrars „Pu?ine persoane îi pot egala cunoa?terea, inteligen?a ?i imagina?ia.“ – Lamberg ?Via?a monden? ?i amoroas? a lui Casanova a fost consemnat? f?r? pudoare în miile de pagini ale Memoriilor sale, intitulate ?i Povestea vie?ii mele, autobiografie lipsit? de complezen??, care traverseaz? Secolul Luminilor. Scris? extrem de savuros, cartea – din care edi?ia de fa?? ofer? o bogat? selec?ie – este considerat? o capodoper? a literaturii, prin picanteria detaliilor, amploarea moravurilor descrise ?i erudi?ia autorului.

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.

Ieudul f?r? ie?ire este expresia plin? de prospe?ime poetic? a cestei convertiri. Lauren?iu Ulici

¥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.

The Witch and Other Stories
¥40.79
It was approaching nightfall. The sexton, Savely Gykin, was lying in his huge bed in the hut adjoining the church. He was not asleep, though it was his habit to go to sleep at the same time as the hens. His coarse red hair peeped from under one end of the greasy patchwork quilt, made up of coloured rags, while his big unwashed feet stuck out from the other. He was listening. His hut adjoined the wall that encircled the church and the solitary window in it looked out upon the open country. And out there a regular battle was going on. It was hard to say who was being wiped off the face of the earth, and for the sake of whose destruction nature was being churned up into such a ferment; but, judging from the unceasing malignant roar, someone was getting it very hot.
