(H/B) TRAGEDIES (VOLUME 1)
Εκδότης: EVERYMAN΄S LIBRARY Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 1669-0107
"Hamlet [is] the first indisputably great European tragedy since the time of the Greeks... [Shakespeare] transformed primitive revenge drama into metaphysical tragedy of enduringly awesome spaciousness, resonance and reverberation... "These four plays were written one after the other in the relatively short period of 1598 to 1606. It beggars belief" (From the introduction by Tony Tanner)... Διαβάστε περισσότερα... |

(H/B) BLEAK HOUSE
Εκδότης: EVERYMAN΄S LIBRARY Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 1669-0028
Considered by many readers, including Shaw, Chesterton, Conrad and Trilling, as one of Dickens's finest achievements, Bleak House tells the complex story of a notorious lawsuit in which love and inheritance are set against the classic urban background of nineteenth-century London, where fog on the river, seeping into the very bones of the characters, symbolizes the pervasive corruption of the legal system and the society which supports it. Displaying the writer's familiar panoramic sweep and enormous cast of brilliant characters, the novel... Διαβάστε περισσότερα... |

(H/B) Don Quixote
Εκδότης: EVERYMAN΄S LIBRARY Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 1669-0273
The first great novel - and perhaps still the most influential - Don Quixote contains within it all the seeds of modern fiction. A fantastic compound of reality and illusion in which the besotted Don Quixote and his down-to-earth companion, the faithful Sancho Panza, set out to right the world's wrongs in knightly combat, the narrative moves from philosophical speculation to broad comedy, taking in pastoral, farce and fantasy on the way. Between the Don's dreams of chivalry which inaugurate the novel, and his death which concludes it, Cerv... Διαβάστε περισσότερα... |

(H/B) Stories of Trees, Woods, and Forests
Εκδότης: EVERYMAN΄S LIBRARY Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 1669-0272
Trees have starred in stories ever since Ovid described the nymph Daphne's metamorphosis into a laurel, and the landscape of literature has long been enlivened by wild woodlands, sacred groves, and fertile orchards. This delightful collection ranges from Ovid to Austen and from Robin Hood's Sherwood Forest (via Thomas Love Peacock's Maid Marian) to Washington Irving's 'The Legend of Sleepy Hollow'. Here are forest-haunted fairy tales both classic (the Brothers Grimm) and inventively retold (Angela Carter). There is room in these woods for ... Διαβάστε περισσότερα... |

(H/B) THE BROTHER'S KARAMAZOV
Εκδότης: EVERYMAN΄S LIBRARY Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 1669-0244
This is a magnificent new translation of Dostoevsky's masterpiece, which when first published in 1991 was described by the Times as 'a miracle' and by The Independent as a near 'ideal translation'. The Brothers Karamazov - Dostoevsky's most widely read novel - is at once a murder mystery, a mordant comedy of family intrigue, a pioneering work of psychological realism and an unblinking look into the abyss of human suffering.

(H/B) THE PLAGUE, THE FALL, EXILE AND THE KINGDOM, AND SELECTED ESSAYS
Εκδότης: EVERYMAN΄S LIBRARY Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 1669-0010
From one of the most brilliant and influential thinkers of the twentieth century - two novels, six short stories, and a pair of essays in a single volume. In both his essays and his fiction, Albert Camus (1913-1960) de-ployed his lyric eloquence in defense against despair, providing an affirmation of the brave assertion of humanity in the face of a universe devoid of order or meaning. The Plague - written in 1947 and still profoundly relevant - is a riveting tale of horror, survival, and resilience in the face of a devastating epidemic. Th... Διαβάστε περισσότερα... |

(H/B) THE COMPLETE ENGLISH POEMS
Εκδότης: EVERYMAN΄S LIBRARY Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 1669-0121
"The theme that unites Milton’s greatest poems is temptation. In Comus and the epics temptation is central to the plot... His fondness for this theme is related to the moral and intellectual integrity that is such a prominent feature of Milton’s own character, and that shapes the character of his poems."-- from the Introduction by Gordon Campbell. John Milton wrote poetry of such sublime beauty that he managed, through its universal influence, to transform the character of the English language. From his astonishing epic Paradise Lost, wit...

(H/B) ONE HUNDRED YEARS OF SOLITUDE
Εκδότης: EVERYMAN΄S LIBRARY Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 1669-0086
(...) One Hundred Years of Solitude supposes two readings because it supposes two authorships. The first reading addresses a text which we suppose straightforward: a writer called Gabriel Garcia Marquez relates the history of the founding family of Macondo, sequentially, chronologically, with a biblical and Rabelaisian hyperbole: Aureliano son of Jose Arcadio son of Aureliano son of Jose Arcadio... The second reading begins the moment the first ends: we discover that the chronicle of Macondo had been written already in the papers of the mi... Διαβάστε περισσότερα... |

(H/B) GREAT EXPECTATIONS
Εκδότης: EVERYMAN΄S LIBRARY Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 1669-0031

(H/B) THE OUTSIDER
Εκδότης: EVERYMAN΄S LIBRARY Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 1669-0262
Albert Camus' laconic masterpiece about a Frenchman who murders an Arab in colonial Algeria is famous for diagnosing a state of alienation and spiritual exhaustion which summed up the mood of the mid-twentieth century. Today, more than fifty years after its first appearance, we can see that the success of this Existentialist classic was no passing fashion. One of the most influential books of the century, The Outsider continues to speak to us of ultimate things with the force of a parable and the excitement of a thriller. (From the publish...

(H/B) THE SONNETS AND NARRATIVE POEMS
Εκδότης: EVERYMAN΄S LIBRARY Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 1669-0162
If William Shakespeare had never written a single play, if his reputation rested entirely upon the substantial and sterling body of nondramatic verse he left behind, he would still hold the position he does in the hierarchy of world literature. The strikingly modern sonnets - intimate, baroque, and expansive at once; the invigorating narratives drawn from classical subjects, and the flawless lyricism represented by a poem like «The Phoenix and the Turtle» - permanently deepen our understanding of the multiplicity and extravagant energy of ...
