The Last of the Mohicans

Kedves olvasó, ha már kezedben tartasz, elkalauzollak olyan világba, amely számodra is érdekes és felkelt?. Mai társadalmi helyzetünk elég cudar állapotban van, ahol még a faji kül?nb?ztetésénél tartunk és még mindig nem fogadtuk el egymást. Ezért nem is tudunk tovább lépni. Nem tudunk ?sszefogni és kilépni a rengetegbe, az ismeretlenbe, hogy aztán szétszóródjunk újra és benépesítsük az olyan réteget ahol esetleg mással, de ha nem, akkor egymással harcoljunk az új helyekért. K?nyvemet megosztva egy olyan fantázia szemsz?gb?l mutatom be, elképzelt világomat, melyben t?bb dolog rendbe j?tt, de helyette j?tt más, csak, hogy az élet mozogjon. Ha velem tartasz, végén ráj?ssz, lehet van benne logika, fantázia, és realizáció. Ez a világ olyan utakon jár melyben a fajok megbékéltek, elfogadták egymást, de helyette j?ttek a nemi kül?nbségek, melyet az emberek biológiai okokból nem fogadtak el, de akik elfogatták, úgy vélik ez természetes és lehetséges. Ha ódzkodsz a másságtól, óva intelek a t?rténetét?l, de egyben ajánlanám nagy szeretettel, hátha máshogy fogod látni a világot, vagy találsz benne olyan dolgot, darabot mely hiányzott a puzzle-?db?l, és kiegészíti a te kicsiny világodat.

Ez Fabius Petronius Secundus római legionárius és centurió – valamint hadvezére, Scipio Aemilianus – felemelkedésének t?rténete: a makedónok elleni els? csatájától, amely megpecsételi Nagy Sándor birodalmának sorsát, az ?szak-Afrikában vívott, mindenre kiterjed? háborúig és Karthágó ostromáig. Scipio sikerei csodálatot és tiszteletet váltanak ki, de egyben kapzsiságot és féltékenységet is fialnak – legszorosabb sz?vetségeseit?l legelkeseredettebb ellenségeiig. ?s ott van még Julia is, a Caesar családból – a kiszámíthatatlan lány, aki Scipiót szereti, de annak vetélytársával, Paulusszal jegyzeték el –, aki csúf viszály kiváltója lesz. Végül Scipiónak egyetlen kérdésre kell csak válaszolnia: mi mindent képes feláldozni a látomásért, amit Rómáról alkotott?

Escape Hatch

It came from beneath the sea! The hideous alien “sluggos” have arrived, bloodthirsty tentacled aliens that infest the oceans of Earth, and it will take the best military minds of the Planetary Navy to defeat them. Admiral Bruce Haldane has faced the sluggos in engagement after engagement, and the humans are slaughtered each time. Fortunately for Haldane, though, because of his high rank, he has an “escape hatch”—at the last moment of a military defeat when his own death is certain, he can swap his consciousness with another safe body, a “cannon fodder” recruit who exists only to be ready in case he needs to make the ultimate sacrifice. Paulson Kenz is one of those cannon-fodder recruits, too weak and wimpy to be appropriate for the battlefield, but he doesn’t want to go down without a fight. Knowing that at any moment he might find himself transported into a horrific last stand against slavering aliens, he has to become an even greater military genius than Admiral Haldane himself.

One of the great novelist’s most popular works, Oliver Twist is also the purest distillation of Dickens’s genius. Like most of Dickens’ work, the book is used to call the public’s attention to various contemporary social evils, including the workhouse, child labour and the recruitment of children as criminals. The novel is full of sarcasm and dark humour, even as it treats its serious subject, revealing the hypocrisies of the time. This tale of the orphan who is reared in a workhouse and runs away to London is a novel of social protest, a morality tale, and a detective story. Oliver Twist presents some of the most sinister characters in Dickens: the master thief, Fagin; the leering Artful Dodger; the murderer, Bill Sikes…along with some of his most sentimental and comical characters. Only Dickens can give us nightmare and daydream together. According to George Orwell, “in Oliver Twist…Dickens attacked English institutions with a ferocity that has never since been approached. Yet he managed to do it without making himself hated, and, more than this, the very people he attacked have welcomed him so completely that he has become a national institution himself.” The novel has been the subject of numerous film and television adaptations, and the basis for a highly successful British musical, Oliver!

Classic novel. According to Wikipedia: "Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874 - 1936) was an influential English writer of the early 20th century. His prolific and diverse output included journalism, philosophy, poetry, biography, Christian apologetics, fantasy and detective fiction. Chesterton has been called the "prince of paradox."[1] He wrote in an off-hand, whimsical prose studded with startling formulations. For example: "Thieves respect property. They merely wish the property to become their property that they may more perfectly respect it."[2] He is one of the few Christian thinkers who are equally admired and quoted by both liberal and conservative Christians, and indeed by many non-Christians. Chesterton's own theological and political views were far too nuanced to fit comfortably under the "liberal" or "conservative" banner."

Mary
￥8.09
According to Wikipedia: "Mary: A Fiction is the only complete novel by the 18th-century British feminist Mary Wollstonecraft. It tells the tragic story of a heroine's successive "romantic friendships" with a woman and a man. Composed while Wollstonecraft was a governess in Ireland, the novel was published in 1788 shortly after her summary dismissal and her momentous decision to embark on a writing career, a precarious and disreputable profession for women in 18th-century Britain.Inspired by Jean-Jacques Rousseau's idea that geniuses are self-taughtgenius (a word which at the end of the 18th century was only beginning to take on its modern meaning of exceptional or brilliant), Wollstonecraft describes Mary as independent and capable of defining femininity and marriage for herself. It is Mary's "strong, original opinions" and her resistance to "conventional wisdom" that mark her as a genius. Making her heroine a genius allowed Wollstonecraft to criticize marriage as well: geniuses were "enchained" rather than enriched by marriage. Through this heroine Wollstonecraft also critiques 18th-century sensibilityMary rewrites the traditional romance plot through its reimagination of gender relations and female sexuality. Yet, because Wollstonecraft employs the genre of sentimentalism to critique sentimentalism itself, her "fiction", as she labels it, sometimes reflects the same flaws of sentimentalism that she is attempting to expose.Wollstonecraft later repudiated Mary, writing that it was laughable. However, scholars have argued that, despite its faults, the novel's representation of an energetic, unconventional, opinionated, rational, female genius (the first of its kind in English literature) within a new kind of romance is an important development in the history of the novel because it helped shape an emerging feminist discourse."
The History of Henry Esmond
￥8.09
Classic novel. According to Wikipedia: "Thackeray is most often compared to one other great novelist of Victorian literature, Charles Dickens. During the Victorian era, he was ranked second only to Dickens, but he is now much less read and is known almost exclusively for Vanity Fair. In that novel he was able to satirize whole swaths of humanity while retaining a light touch. It also features his most memorable character, the engagingly roguish Becky Sharp. As a result, unlike Thackeray's other novels, it remains popular with the general reading public; it is a standard fixture in university courses and has been repeatedly adapted for movies and television. In Thackeray's own day, some commentators, such as Anthony Trollope, ranked his History of Henry Esmond as his greatest work, perhaps because it expressed Victorian values of duty and earnestness, as did some of his other later novels. It is perhaps for this reason that they have not survived as well as Vanity Fair, which satirizes those values."
