Explore the transcendent world of unity and ultimate beauty in Edgar Allan Poe’s verse in this complete poetry collection. Although best known for his short stories, Edgar Allan Poe was by nature and choice a poet. From his exquisite lyric “To Helen,” to his immortal masterpieces, “Annabel Lee,” “The Bells,” and “The Raven,” Poe stands beside the celebrated English romantic poets Shelley, Byron, and Keats, and his haunting, sensuous poetic vision profoundly influenced the Victorian giants Swinburne, Tennyson, and Rossetti. Today his dark side speaks eloquently to contemporary readers in poems such as “The Haunted Palace” and “The Conqueror Worm,” with their powerful images of madness and the macabre. But even at the end of his life, Poe reached out to his art for comfort and courage, giving us in “Eldorado” a talisman to hold during our darkest moments—a timeless gift from a great American writer. Includes an Introduction by Jay Parini and an Afterword by April Bernard

Azda na nijakého zo svojich hrdinov nenaložil Shakespespeare toľko utrpenia ako na kráľa Leara, ktorý – podobne ako kráľ zo slovenskej ľudovej rozprávky Soľ nad zlato – zavrhol svoju najmladšiu dcéru, hoci ho mala najradšej, a kruto sa sklamal v dvoch starších. Všetkých nás čaká posledný účet – každý z nás sa môže uvidieť v mohutnom zrkadle tejto tragédie. William Shakespeare (1564 – 1616) nebol len veľký dramatik – bude sa o ňom vždy hovoriť aj ako o najväčšom básnikovi divadla.

Poviedka z roku 1841 je jedným z prvých detektívnych príbehov, ktorá zavádza technický termín „záhada uzavretej miestnosti“. Príbeh sa zameriava na bezradnosť polície, ktorá prehliada stopy, zatiaľ čo ich objavuje veľký detektív C. Auguste Dupin. Vypravěč sa v Paríži stretáva s Dupinom, mladým mužom z aristokratickej rodiny, ktorý sa ocitol v ťažkej situácii. Po prečítaní článku o vražde dvoch žien v ulici Morgue, Dupin sa rozhodne očistiť priateľa obvineného políciou. Na mieste činu objaví stopy, ktoré naznačujú, že vrahom je orangutan. Po zverejnení inzerátu sa mu podarí zistiť, že orangutana si námořník priviezol ako suvenír. Po objasnení prípadu je orangutan umiestnený do zoologickej záhrady a Dupin predáva svoje poznatky polícii.

"Sand and Foam - A Book of Aphorisms" is a 1926 work by Lebanese-American poet Khalil Gibran. It contains eighty-five pages of aphorisms, poems, and parables that demonstrate Gibran's characteristic ability to masterfully encapsulate profound concepts in just two or three lines. Gibran Khalil Gibran (1883 - 1931) was a Lebanese-American poet, writer, and artist best known as the author of "The Prophet" (1923), which is one of the best-selling books of all time. Gibran's work covers such themes as justice, religion, science, free will, love, happiness, the soul, the body, and death. He is widely considered to have been one of the most important figures in Arabic poetry and literature during the first half of the twentieth century. Other notable works by this author include: "Music" (1905), "Rebellious Spirits" (1908), and "Broken Wings" (1912). This volume is highly recommended for fans of Gibran's seminal work and it would make for a worthy addition to any collection. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new biography of the author.

A bestseller when it was first published, The Children is a comic, bittersweet novel about the misadventures of a bachelor and a band of precocious children. The seven Wheater children, stepbrothers and stepsisters grown weary of being shuttled from parent to parent are eager for their parents' latest reconciliation to last. A chance meeting between the children and the solitary 46-year old Martin Boyne leads to a series of unforgettable encounters.

IN the old fairy tales the cradles of new-born infants were visited by beneficent beings who granted special gifts of fortune, beauty, talent, though sometimes a jealous hag would slink in and by a malevolent counter- charm try to spoil the bright future. Such things have long ago ceased in commonplace England, but it is differ- ent in India; and we can hardly help believing that the power of understanding the speech of animals and birds is still occasionally conferred on fortunate mortals. Else how can one explain "Rikki-Tikki-Tavi," and "Tomai of the Elephants " ? Fortunate for special purposes is the man of one race and language who is born amid the men of another, and thus inherits two tongues and the knowledge of two peoples. Such was the good fortune of Rudyard Kipling, and it is not a mere legend that, on meeting with Indian elephants amid the tawdry surroundings of an American circus, he was able to talk and understand the mystic language of the jungle.

Yvette is an innocent rector's daughter. When she meets a handsome gipsy she feels him watching her, acutely aware of her virginity.

«Se desideri vedere le valli, sali sulla cima della montagna; se vuoi vedere la cima della montagna, sollevati fin sopra la nuvola; ma se cerchi di capire la nuvola, chiudi gli occhi e pensa.» Massime spirituali non è solo un’ampia raccolta di aforismi, ma include anche, in una affascinante ibridazione, alcuni brevi scritti di argomento filosofico, etico e politico. Nelle folgoranti riflessioni dell’autore sulla vita, la morte, la religione, espresse con densità e immediatezza, si riconosce la medesima ispirazione del capolavoro di Gibran, Il Profeta. Un ponte ideale tra la cultura occidentale e la spiritualità orientale, volto al superamento di tutte le differenze concettuali, ideologiche e storiche: è qui la chiave di lettura di tutta l’opera di Gibran.
