(P/B) CHEKHOV: PLAYS
Εκδότης: PENGUIN Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3452-0681
Five masterful dramatic works from one of the world's best-loved playwrights, Anton Chekhov's Plays is translated with notes by Peter Carson, and an introduction by Richard Gilman in Penguin Classics. At a time when the Russian theatre was dominated by formulaic melodramas and farces, Chekhov created a new sort of drama that laid bare the everyday lives, loves and yearnings of ordinary people. Ivanov depicts a man stifled by inactivity and lost idealism, and The Seagull contrasts a young man's selfish romanticism with the stoicism of a wom... Διαβάστε περισσότερα... |

(P/B) ON THE ROAD
Εκδότης: PENGUIN Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3452-0280
On the Road swings to the rhythms of 1950s underground America, jazz, sex, generosity, chill dawns and drugs, with Sal Paradise and his hero Dean Moriarty, traveller and mystic, the living epitome of Beat. Now recognized as a modern classic, its American Dream is nearer that of Walt Whitman than Scott Fitzgerald, and it goes racing towards the sunset with unforgettable exuberance, poignancy and autobiographical passion.

(H/B) LEWIS CARROLL'S ALICE'S ADVENTURES IN WONDERLAND
WITH ARTWORK BY YAYOI KUSAMA
Εκδότης: PENGUIN Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3452-2729
Since childhood, Kusama has been afflicted with a condition that makes her see spots, which means she sees the world in a surreal, almost hallucinogenic way that sits very well with the Wonderland of Alice. She is fascinated by childhood and the way adults have the ability, at their most creative, to see things the way children do, a central concern of the Alice books, by Lewis Carroll. The book will be colour illustrated to very high specification, with her images interspersed thoughtfully throughout the text. (From the publisher)... Διαβάστε περισσότερα... |

The Bhagavad Gita is an early epic poem that recounts the conversation between Arjuna the warrior and his charioteer Krishna, the manifestation of God.

KEATS: COMPLETE POEMS
Εκδότης: PENGUIN Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3452-0525
Keats’s first volume of poems, published in 1817, demonstrated both his belief in the consummate power of poetry and his liberal views. While he was criticized by many for his politics, his immediate circle of friends and family immediately recognized his genius. In his short life he proved to be one of the greatest and most original thinkers of the second generation of Romantic poets, with such poems as ‘Ode to a Nightingale’, ‘On First Looking into Chapman’s Homer’ and ‘La Belle Dame sans Merci’. While his writing is illuminated by his e... Διαβάστε περισσότερα... |

(P/B) KEEP THE ASPIDISTRA FLYING
Εκδότης: PENGUIN Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3452-0793
Gordon Comstock loathes dull, middle-class respectability and worship of money. He gives up a 'good job' in advertising to work part-time in a bookshop, giving him more time to write. But he slides instead into a self-induced poverty that destroys his creativity and his spirit. Only Rosemary, ever-faithful Rosemary, has the strength to challenge his commitment to his chosen way of life. Through the character of Gordon Comstock, Orwell reveals his own disaffection with the society he once himself renounced. (From the publisher)... Διαβάστε περισσότερα... |

(P/B) ALICE'S ADVENTURES IN WONDERLAND AND THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS
Εκδότης: PENGUIN Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3452-0676
'Contrariwise ...if it was so, it might be; and if it were so, it would be but as it isn't, it ain't. That's logic' 'I had sent my heroine straight down a rabbit-hole... without the least idea what was to happen afterwards,' wrote Charles Dodgson, describing how Alice was conjured up one 'golden afternoon' in 1862 to entertain his child-friend Alice Liddell. His dream worlds of nonsensical Wonderland and the back-to-front Looking-Glass kingdom depict order turned upside-down: a baby turns into a pig; time is abandoned at a disordered tea-p...

(P/B) ETHICS
Εκδότης: PENGUIN Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3452-1790
Published shortly after his death, the Ethics is undoubtedly Spinoza's greatest work - an elegant, fully cohesive philosophical system that strives to provide a coherent picture of reality, and to comprehend the meaning of an ethical life. Following a logical step-by-step format, it defines in turn the nature of God, the mind, the emotions, human bondage to the emotions, and the power of understanding - moving from a consideration of the eternal, to speculate upon humanity's place in the natural order, the nature of freedom and the path to...

(P/B) Persuasion
(Penguin English Library)
Εκδότης: PENGUIN Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3452-3033

(P/B) MY MOTHER, MADAME EDWARDA, THE DEAD MAN
Εκδότης: PENGUIN Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3452-3087
In these three works of erotic prose Georges Bataille fuses sex and spirituality in a highly personal and philosophical vision of the self. My Mother is a frank and intense depiction of a young man's sexual initiation and corruption by his mother, where the profane becomes sacred, and intense experience is shown as the only way to transcend the boundaries of society and morality. Madame Edwarda is the story of a prostitute who calls herself God, and The Dead Man, published in 1964 after Bataille's death, is a startling short tale of cruelt... Διαβάστε περισσότερα... |

(P/B) DUBLINERS
Εκδότης: PENGUIN Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3452-0270
Joyce's first major work, written when he was only twenty-five, brought his city to the world for the first time. His stories are rooted in the rich detail of Dublin life, portraying ordinary, often defeated lives with unflinching realism. He writes of social decline, sexual desire and exploitation, corruption and personal failure, yet creates a brilliantly compelling, unique vision of the world and of human experience.
