Crime and Punishmentby Fyodor DostoyevskyISBN 3829009046 (3-8290-0904-6)
Hardcover, Konemann
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Crime and Punishment'Book summary:The talented Alex Jennings creates an atmosphere of gripping psychological tension and brings a variety of characters to life in this new audio edition of a crime classic. When the student Raskolnikov puts his philosophical theory to the ultimate test of murder, a tragic tale of suffering and redemption unfolds in the dismal setting of the slums of czarist, prerevolutionary St. Petersburg. While Jennings's adept repertoire of British accents works to demonstrate the varying classes of characters, it occasionally distracts the listener from the Russian setting. However, Dostoyevsky's rendering of 18th-century Russia emerges unscathed, bringing the dark pathos (such as wretched poverty and rampant suffering) to life.

› Find signed collectible books: 'Crimen Y Castigo / Crime and Punishment'Book summary:Una visita de Balzac a San Petersburgo le sugirio al joven alferez ingeniero Fiodor Dostoievski la idea de traducir «Eugenie Grandet». La traduccion hizo mucho mas que sacarle de un apuro economico; desperto su fiebre creativa y su vocacion. Entonces, decidio solicitar la excedencia y dedicarse a la literatura.Obra realmente genial, «Crimen y castigo» es una de las mas grandes creaciones de la literatura mundial. Todo el dolor humano palpita y nos contempla desde los estremecedores cuadros de miseria, de vejacion personal, de soledad y de asfixia moral propios de una gran ciudad. Contradiciendo su propia teoria de que no existen motivos sociales para justificar el crimen, se diria que Dostoievski ha puesto en esta novela todo su afan de acumular y sacar a la luz precisamente las circunstancias sociales que, a cada paso, empujan a la persona a llegar al crimen, aunque sea para afirmar su yo y probarse a si mismo que es un hombre.

Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Heart of Darkness'Book summary:Joseph Conrad's 'Heart of Darkness' is widely regarded as one of the most significant works of English literature and part of the Western canon. The story was the inspiration for Francis Ford Coppola's 'Apocalypse Now'. This highly symbolic story is actually a story within a story, or frame narrative. It follows Marlow as he recounts, from dusk through to late night, his adventure into the Congo to a group of men aboard a ship anchored in the Thames Estuary. The story details an incident when Marlow, an Englishman, took a foreign assignment as a ferry-boat captain, employed by a Belgian trading company. Although the river is never specifically named, readers may assume it is the Congo River, in the Congo Free State, a private colony of King Leopold II. Marlow is employed to transport ivory downriver; however, his more pressing assignment is to return Kurtz, another ivory trader, to civilization in a cover up. [via]

Northanger Abbeyby Jane AustenISBN 3829030010 (3-8290-3001-0)
Hardcover, Konemann
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Northanger Abbey'Book summary:Though Northanger Abbey is one of Jane Austen's earliest novels, it was not published until after her death--well after she'd established her reputation with works such as Pride and Prejudice, Emma, and Sense and Sensibility. Of all her novels, this one is the most explicitly literary in that it is primarily concerned with books and with readers. In it, Austen skewers the novelistic excesses of her day made popular in such 18th-century Gothic potboilers as Ann Radcliffe's The Mysteries of Udolpho. Decrepit castles, locked rooms, mysterious chests, cryptic notes, and tyrannical fathers all figure into Northanger Abbey, but with a decidedly satirical twist. Consider Austen's introduction of her heroine: we are told on the very first page that "no one who had ever seen Catherine Morland in her infancy, would have supposed her born to be an heroine." The author goes on to explain that Miss Morland's father is a clergyman with "a considerable independence, besides two good livings--and he was not in the least addicted to locking up his daughters." Furthermore, her mother does not die giving birth to her, and Catherine herself, far from engaging in "the more heroic enjoyments of infancy, nursing a dormouse, feeding a canary-bird, or watering a rose-bush" vastly prefers playing cricket with her brothers to any girlish pastimes.
Catherine grows up to be a passably pretty girl and is invited to spend a few weeks in Bath with a family friend. While there she meets Henry Tilney and his sister Eleanor, who invite her to visit their family estate, Northanger Abbey. Once there, Austen amuses herself and us as Catherine, a great reader of Gothic romances, allows her imagination to run wild, finding dreadful portents in the most wonderfully prosaic events. But Austen is after something more than mere parody; she uses her rapier wit to mock not only the essential silliness of "horrid" novels, but to expose the even more horrid workings of polite society, for nothing Catherine imagines could possibly rival the hypocrisy she experiences at the hands of her supposed friends. In many respects Northanger Abbey is the most lighthearted of Jane Austen's novels, yet at its core is a serious, unsentimental commentary on love and marriage, 19th-century British style. --Alix Wilber [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Ragtime'Book summary:Durante los anos previos a la Primera Guerra Mundial se gestaron algunos de los movimientos que marcarian los grandes cambios sociales del siglo xx: la situacion de los inmigrantes, las primeras huelgas obreras, la oposicion de los negros contra la discriminacion racial o el papel de la mujer en la sociedad. La relacion que los miembros de una misma familia de clase media mantienen con personajes historicos como la anarquista Emma Goldman, la bella Evelyn Nesbit, el financiero J. P. Morgan, Emiliano Zapata, Sigmund Freud o Henry Ford permite a Doctorow novelar la cronica de una periodo crucial de la Historia. / The story opens in 1906 in New Rochelle, New York, at the home of an affluent American family. One lazy Sunday afternoon, the famous escape artist Harry Houdini swerves his car into a telephone pole outside their house. And almost magically, the line between fantasy and historical fact, between real and imaginary characters, disappears. Henry Ford, Emma Goldman, J. P. Morgan, Evelyn Nesbit, Sigmund Freud, and Emiliano Zapata slip in and out of the tale, crossing paths with Doctorow's imagined family and other fictional characters, including an immigrant peddler and a ragtime musician from Harlem whose insistence on a point of justice drives him to revolutionary violence.

› Find signed collectible books: 'El Desaparecido'Book summary:El desaparecido es la primera y menos conocida de las tres novelas -todas inacabadas- que Kafka emprendio en el transcurso de su vida. Escrita en su mayor parte entre finales de 1912 y comienzos de 1913, fue publicada postumamente por Max Brod bajo el titulo de America, sugerido sin duda por el hecho de que la novela entera transcurre en Est ados Unidos. Kafka, sin embargo, dejo claro su proposito de titularla El desaparecido, indicativo de la condicion que determina la atribulada andadura de su protagonista, el joven Karl Rossman, que desde su llegada a Nueva York, expulsado del seno de su familia, se encuentra ya perdido, «desaparecido», no identificable para los demas ni para si mismo. El propio Kafka declaraba a Max Brod que esta peculiar novela de formacion, escrita bajo el ascendente indisimulado de Charles Dickens, era mas esperanzadora y «luminosa» que todo cuanto habia escrito.

› Find signed collectible books: 'Retorno a Brideshead'Book summary:El retorno de Charles Ryder a Brideshead la elegante mansión de lord Marchmain, convertida ahora en cuartel devuelve a su memoria aquellos tiempos, anteriores a la guerra, en que paseaba embelesado por sus hermosos jardines y salones y se dejaba sucumbir al hechizo de sus singulares habitantes. En realidad, nunca pudo Charles librarse de su ambigua amistad con el inquieto Sebastian, ni de su obsesivo amor por la hermana de éste, lady Julia, ni de la oscura y contradictoria fatalidad que dejó marcada para siempre la atribulada vida de los Marchmain con su huella de drama y desvarío. / In this classic tale of British life between the World Wars, Waugh parts company with the satire of his earlier works to examine affairs of the heart. Charles Ryder finds himself stationed at Brideshead, the family seat of Lord and Lady Marchmain. Exhausted by the war, he takes refuge in recalling his time spent with the heirs to the estate before the war--years spent enthralled by the beautiful but dissolute Sebastian and later in a more conventional relationship with Sebastian's sister Julia. Ryder portrays a family divided by an uncertain investment in Roman Catholicism and by their confusion over where the elite fit in the modern world. Although Waugh was considered by many to be more successful as a comic than as a wistful commentator on human relationships and faith, this novel was made famous by a 1981 BBC TV dramatization. Irons's portrayal of Ryder catapulted Irons to stardom, and in this superb reading his subtle, complete characterizations highlight Waugh's ear for the aristocratic mores of the time. Fervent Anglophiles will be thrilled by this excellent rendition of a favorite; Irons's reading saves this dinosaur from being suffocated by its own weight. Cahners Business Information [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Se Anuncia Un Asesinato/a Murder Is Announced'Book summary:When an ad appears in the gazette announcing a murder to take place on Friday at Little Paddocks at 6:30 p.m., the locals show up, assuming it's a murder mystery party, only to get shot at and then become witnesses to the real murder of a boy no one knows. Fortunately, Miss Marple arrives and unravels this tangled skein before too many of them get bumped off. Miss Jane Marple doesn't look like your average detective. Quite frankly, she doesn't look like a detective at all. But looks can be deceiving, for the mild-mannered spinster sleuth is as adept at solving murders that baffle Scotland Yard as she is at unravelling village secrets.
Description in Spanish: En el periódico de Chipping Cleghorn se publica una noticia sorprendente que deja atónitos a los pacíficos vecinos del pueblo: "El viernes, a las seis y media, alguien morirá asesinado en casa de Letittia Blacklock.
La curiosidad es mayor que el miedo y las personas más relevantes de la población se dan cita en la casa a la hora anunciada. Una vez allí comprueban que la noticia del periódico era fidedigna, a la hora indicada se produce un asesinato. Afortunadamente, Miss Marple, de visita en la villa, se encarga de resolver el macabro asunto con su peculiar estilo. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Las Uvas De La Ira/ the Grapes of Wrath'Book summary:[via]Las uvas de la ira es un hito en la literatura norteamericana que explora el conflicto entre ricos y pobres, analiza la reacción feroz de un hombre contra la injusticia y el estoicismo de una mujer igualmente heróica, y refleja los horrores de la Gran Depresión. Aunque sigue la migración de miles personas del Dust Bowl, Las uvas de la ira se enfoca en la historia de una familia de Oklahoma, los Joads, echados de su hogar y forzados a viajar rumbo a esa Tierra Prometida que era por ese entoncesy que de algun modo sigue siendoCalifornia. De sus desventurasen un país dividido surge un drama sobre la dignidad humana, a un tiempo trágico y majestuoso en su grandeza su valentía moral.
Publicada por primera vez en 1939, la novela reflejó su época como Uncle Tom's Cabin reflejó los años antes de la Guerra Civil norteamericana. John Steinbeck, un escritor que simpatizaba con la crítica fascista y comunista, insistió en que la versión integral del "Himno de batalla de la República" fuese impresa en la primera edición del libro, que adopta en su título unas palabras del primer verso: "Está pisoteando la vendimia donde se conservan las uvas de la ira." La crónica de Steinbeck sobre el avergonzante maltrato de las clases sociales de los años treinta es tal vez el más "americano" de todos los clásicos norteamericanos.

› Find signed collectible books: 'Die göttlichen Geheimnisse der Ya-Ya-Schwestern'Book summary:Die vier Mädchen hatten noch Bänder im Haar und Söckchen an, als sie miteinander in Louisiana davon träumten die letzten Überlebenden eines aussterbenden Stammes zu sein -- die Ya-Yas.
Zusammen nahmen sie am Shirley-Temple-Nachwuchs-Wettbewerb teil und brachten nicht nur die Jury mit ihrem ungewöhnlichen Benehmen in Verlegenheit, sie waren auch bei der Welturaufführung ihres späteren Lieblingsfilms Vom Winde verweht anwesend. Mitunter wurde ihr Club zu einem Quartett der Peinlichkeiten, doch die vier standen, was auch kommen mochte, felsenfest zusammen.
Gesammelt hat Vivi ihre Erlebnisse in einem Album, das sie Die göttlichen Geheimnisse der Ya-Ya-Schwestern nannte. Und als sie es, viele Jahre später, ihrer Tochter Sidda zum Lesen gibt, ist ihr Mutter-Tochter-Verhältnis gerade zum Bersten gespannt, denn immerhin hat Sidda in der New York Times bei einem Interview zu ihrem neuen Theaterstück ihre Mutter als "eine Step tanzende, prügelnde Rabenmutter" bezeichnet. Sidda begibt sich auf die schmerzliche Suche nach der Wahrheit, und oft erzählen ihr die fehlenden Personen auf den Fotos mehr als die Bilder selbst.
Rebecca Wells, die selbst auf einer Plantage in Louisiana aufwuchs, schuf mit den Ya-Yas und ihren Kindern ungeheuer quirlige und phantasievolle Frauen, die die größten Sorgen mit einem lauten Lachen und einem Glas Whiskey in der Hand aus der Welt wischen. Und wenn sie sich dann doch nicht ganz beseitigen lassen, sind immer noch drei Ya-Yas da, die sofort als Feuerwehr zur Stelle sind. --Manuela Haselberger [via]

Cornelia Funke gehört unbestritten zu den besten Schriftstellerinnen auf diesem Sektor im deutschsprachigen Raum. Nach ihrem großen Erfolg mit Drachenreiter legt sie erneut einen dicken Schmöker vor. Ein außergewöhnliches Kinderbuch, das mit einer spannenden Geschichte aus Venedig aufwartet, der Stadt der geflügelten Löwen und verwunschenen Plätze, durchzogen von kleinen Kanälen und Wasserstraßen.
Nachdem ihre Mutter gestorben ist, haben sich die beiden Brüder Prosper, zwölf, und Bo, fünf Jahre in die Stadt der Gondeln geflüchtet. Sie wollen nicht getrennt werden, denn ihre Tante Esther möchte nur den kleinen niedlichen Bo aufnehmen. Umgehend beauftragt Tante Esther den besten Detektiv der Stadt, nach ihnen zu suchen. Zum Glück haben die beiden Jungs das praktische Mädchen Wespe und ihre drei Freunde getroffen. Alle vier hausen in einem alten, verlassenen Kino. Bei ihnen können Prosper und Bo zunächst unterschlüpfen.
Anführer der Kinder ist Scipio, der Herr der Diebe, wie er sich selbst nennt. Wenn er abends unangekündigt ins Kino schneit, mit seiner schwarzen Maske und den hochhackigen Stiefeln, verbreitet er eine Menge Respekt. Kaum einer merkt, dass Scipio kaum älter als zwölf ist. Von seinen Beutezügen versorgt er die Kinder mit Waren, die diese zu guten Preisen wieder verkaufen. Doch die Herkunft Scipios ist geheimnisvoll. Wo wohnt er wirklich?
Herr der Diebe ist eine fantasievolle Geschichte, die im Kinderbuchregal direkt neben Harry Potter einen adäquaten Platz findet. --Manuela Haselberger [via]

Thus we shall avoid "falling into the traditional error of mistaking a transient opinion for the final expression of his personality, and, through the confusion of dates, of introducing contradiction and incoherence into his ideas".1 Furthermore, we shall learn how his inner life has developed. His life and his books deposit on his mind successive 'strata' of experience. From each stratum he attempts to learn some lesson, and, each time, the succeeding stratum shows him the insufficiency of his ideas and raises the problem again.... It is this romance of an intellect that fascinates and instructs the psychologist. To trace it we need as many dates as possible.2 First Chronological Data It is known, before any detailed research, that Montaigne withdrew to his chateau and began working on the Essais in 1571; that Books I and II appeared in 1580; that Book III and about six hundred additions came out in 1588; that, beginning in 1588, correcting and enlarging a copy of the 1588 edition, Montaigne was preparing a new edition, which his death, on September 13, 1592, prevented his issuing. We possess this copy ('Exemplaire de Bordeaux'). It served as the foundation for the edition published in 1595 by MHe de Gournay. Up to this point it is evident that ninety-four essays are anterior to 1580, that thirteen were written between 1580 and 1588, and that the additions to these one hundred and seven were prepared between 1588 and September 13, 1592. But we must go farther. Each group must be taken separately, and an attempt made to place chronologically every essay that it contains.1 Processes and Metho... [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Asterix le Gaulois'Book summary:Nous sommes en 1959, en plein mois d'août. Dans une cité HLM de Bobigny, aux portes de Paris, deux auteurs de bande dessinée s'épongent le front. Pas seulement à cause de la chaleur estivale : les deux compères suent sang et eau pour trouver une idée de personnage. Il leur faut être prêts pour le premier numéro de Pilote, un nouveau magazine pour les jeunes dont la parution doit intervenir trois mois plus tard. Le scénariste s'appelle René Goscinny. Son copain dessinateur, c'est Albert Uderzo. Ils avaient bien pensé à adapter Le Roman de Renart, mais un autre y a songé avant eux. Alors, ils cherchent. Mais ne trouvent rien& Jusqu'à ce que Goscinny ait l'idée d'un petit Gaulois teigneux et moustachu. Banco : Astérix est né. Et, avec lui, un formidable succès d'édition doublé d'un phénomène de société.
Il fait sa première apparition le 29 octobre 1959 dans les pages de Pilote. Puis l'album Astérix le Gaulois sort en librairie en 1961. Tirage modeste : 6 000 exemplaires. Mais la courbe des ventes ne va cesser de grimper. En 1966, 600 000 exemplaires d'Astérix chez les Bretons s'envolent en quinze jours. Le petit Gaulois est en couverture de l'hebdomadaire L'Express. Du jamais vu. L'année précédente, il a même donné son nom au premier satellite français. Les intellectuels mêlent leur grain de sel, certains trouvant à Astérix une ressemblance avec le Général de Gaulle& Goscinny et Uderzo n'en ont cure. Eux continuent à s'amuser, à faire vivre une galerie de personnages pittoresques, à réécrire l'Histoire et à régaler leurs lecteurs de gags subtils et de trouvailles visuelles. La disparition de Goscinny, en 1977, ne mettra pas fin à l'aventure. Uder zo continue seul et fonde les Éditions Albert-René. Désormais, c'est lui qui écrira les scénarios, sans toutefois faire preuve du même talent que son prédécesseur. Au total, les aventures d'Astérix et de son copain Obélix se sont vendues à plus de 280 millions d'exemplaires. Une réussite exceptionnelle dans la bande dessinée. --Gilbert Jacques [via]More editions of Asterix le Gaulois:

Lorsque Vivi Walker, la soixantaine, découvre dans le prestigieux New York Times le portrait que dresse d'elle sa fille Siddy, metteur en scène de renom, elle la répudie sur le champ. Pour renouer le dialogue et assurer une meilleure compréhension réciproque, ses trois meilleures amies parviennent à la convaincre de confier à sa fille ses carnets secrets sur les Ya-Ya, du nom que les quatre femmes ont attribué dès leur enfance à leur petite tribu. A travers ces fragments du passé, tantôt légers, tantôt tragiques, Siddy est alors amenée à découvrir des aspects méconnus de la personnalité de sa mère, femme pétillante, énergique et exubérante, mais aussi femme blessée par la vie, et que seule l'attention indéfectible de ses amies a réussi à maintenir debout.
Ce livre a séduit des millions de lectrices. L'amitié féminine et les relations aigres-douces entre mères et filles en constituent les principaux thèmes, traités sur un mode jovial et divertissant. --Nathalie Gouiffès [via]
