O carte de poezii este ca un sipet in care autorul isi pastreaza sentimentele, tot ceea ce are mai drag in intimitatea sa si le ofera, ca dar, cititorilor sai, astfel incat lectura sa fie o adevarata lectie, azi si-n perspectiva. Noua carte a Luciei Mandache, Amara asteptare a Penelopei (L’amara attesa di Penelope), care este inspirata din repetabila poveste a sotiei eroului grec Ulise si a asteptarilor sale, este incarcata de sentimente care dau frumusete aparte, incantand lectorul, av...

This selection of Carroll's works includes Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and its sequel, Through the Looking-Glass, both containing the famous illustrations by Sir John Tenniel. No greater books for children have ever been written. The simple language, dreamlike atmosphere, and fantastical characters are as appealing to young readers today as ever they were.Meanwhile, however, these apparently simple stories have become recognised as adult masterpieces, and extraordinary experiments, years ah...

. Am citit destule poezii publicate in revista RAPSODIA, unde poetul e redactor sef si unde eu sunt colaborator, redactor sef adjunct de peste zece ani. Poeziile au parca greutatea plumbului. Nu te lasa nici sa abuzezi de lectura lor, nici sa le reciti la vreo petrecere, nici sa le abandonezi, dar nici sa dormi dupa! Are el un talent aparte de a construi din diafanul cuvantului un vers incarcat de un soi de durere, de o apasare pe care nu o poti marturisi nimanui, fiindu-ti data numai tie si, cu...

Tu ce m-auzi oftand, nu fi aspru cu mine Acum ca lacrimi vars, doar mie cunoscute Si nu-l urmez in toate durerile avute Pe Florentinul plin de regrete si suspine. Nici pe Catull, amantul cel voios, holtei Rapind atatea inimi prin laude si vers, Nici dragostea savanta a grecului Propers. Nu iubeau pentru mine si nici eu pentru ei. Cel ce altuia stie sa dea durerii alinare Poate si sa-l imite pe altul in plansoare. Durerea si necazul, oricine si le-ndura. De-Amor v...

Antony and Cleopatra is one of Shakespeare's greatest tragedies: a spectacular, widely-ranging drama of love and war, passion and politics. Antony is divided between the responsibilities of imperial power and the intensities of his sexual relationship with Cleopatra. She, variously generous and ruthless, loving and jealous, petulant and majestic, emerges as Shakespeare's most complex depiction of a woman:`Age cannot wither her, nor custom staleHer infinite variety.'Unsurpassed in sumptous eloque...

Translationsare by Paul Desages (Around the World in Eighty Days) and Arthur Chambers (Five Weeks in a Balloon).JULES VERNE (1828-1905) POSSESSED that rare storyteller's gift of being able to present the far-fetched and the downright unbelievable in such a way as effortlessly to inspire his reader's allegiance and trust. This volume contains two of his best-loved yarns, chosen from among the sixty-four titles of Les Voyages Extraordinaires, Verne's pioneering contribution to the canon of modern ...

As You Like It is one of Shakespeare's finest romantic comedies, variously lyrical, melancholy, satiric, comic and absurd. Its boldly implausible plot generates a profusion of love-lorn men, a resourceful heroine in disguise, sexual ambiguity, sceptical philosophising, and finally a multiplicity of marriages. The ironic medley of pastoral artifice, romantic ardour and quizzical reflection has helped to make As You Like It perennially popular in the theatre. A recent production was deemed `fresh,...

This vivid historical and political novel by Dickens is centred on the infamous 'No Popery' riots, instigated by Lord George Gordon, which terrorised London in 1780. Dickens' targets are prejudice, intolerance, religious bigotry and nationalistic fervour, together with the villains who exploit these for selfish ends.His intense account of the riots is interwoven with the mysterious tale of a long-unsolved murder and with a romance involving forbidden love, treachery and heroism. Barnaby Rudge ab...

Une Vie (1883) and Bel-Ami (1885) seem almost diametrically opposed in tone and temper. The `Life' of the first is poignantly restricted within a woman's lot, while Bel-Ami is robustly masculine. Jeanne dreams of love. Duroy constructs a career in journalism through a string of sexual conquests, reaching political and economic success by endless intimate betrayals. The first novel conveys endurance, the next, constant activity. One is provincial and domestic in setting, tragic in form, and slow ...

Suspendata intre visare si trezie, lumea in care Fulviu Friator, un tanar solitar avand stranii talente de ventriloc, plonjeaza odata cu moartea parintilor sai este un abis al incongruentelor si al absurdului. Chinuit de aparitii grotesti si cosmaruri lipsite de logica, Fulviu o intalneste pe Luiza Textoris, iar cei doi se vad aruncati in mijlocul unor drame de familie ce le reorienteaza destinele, riscand sa-i aduca in pragul nebuniei. Nevoiti sa-l infrunte pe demonul viselor, sa discearna intr...

The diverse tales selected for this volume display the astonishing virtuosity of Rudyard Kipling's early writings. A Nobel prize-winner, Kipling was phenomenally productive and imaginative, displaying a literary mastery of idioms, technology and technical terms, exotic locations, and social range. He gained immense popularity, becoming (as these stories indicate) the knowledgeable spokesman for a wide public.Later, although Kipling's right-wing views increasingly incurred hostility, his creativi...

Guy de Maupassant was a master of the short story. This collection displays his lively diversity, with tales that vary in theme and tone, ranging from tragedy and satire to comedy and farce. In a lucidly direct style, he provides unflinching realism and sceptical irony. He depicts the deceptions, hypocrisies and vanities at different levels of society. Prostitution is frankly described, while the harshness of war is deftly exposed. His tales have been televised and have influenced films, operas...

Arguably India's greatest gift to the world, The Bhagavadgita ('The Song of the Blessed') forms an episode in the sixth book of the Hindu epic The Mahabharata and is the supreme work of that religion. The Gita consists of the dialogue between Prince Arjuna and his mentor and friend, Lord Krishna, on the eve of the climactic battle of Kuruksetra. This discourse contains an exposition of the Hindu philosophy of Karma Yoga (disciplined action performed in the right spirit) as Prince Arjuna struggle...

Melville's short stories are masterpieces. The best are to be appreciated on more than one level and those presented here are rich with symbolism and spiritual depth. Set in 1797, Billy Budd, Foretopman exploits the tension of this period during the war between England and France to create a tale of satanic treachery, tragedy and great pathos that explores human relationships and the inherently ambiguous nature of man-made justice. Tales such as Bartleby, Benito Cereno, The Lightning Rod Man, Th...
