    H. Munro—better known as Saki—deftly, mercilessly, and hilariously skewer the banality and hypocrisy of polite upper-class English society between the end of Queen Victoria’s reign and the beginning of World War I. Their heroes are clever, amoral children and other enfants terribles who marshal their considerable wit and imagination against the cruelty or fatuousness of a decorous and doomed world.Here, Saki’s brilliantly polished dark gems comes paired with illustrations by the peerless Edward Gorey, available for the first time in an English language edition. The whose fragile elegance and creeping menace of Gorey’s pen-and-ink drawings perfectly complement Saki’s population of delicate ladies, mischief-making charges, spectral guests, sardonic house pets, flustered authority figures, and delightfully preposterous imposters.

    

    It begins by relating how Valmiki composed and launched his great poem. In this book, we meet King Dasharatha of Ayodhya and his queens, Kausalya, Sumitra and Kaikeyi. In time, four glorious sons are born to them – Rama, Bharata, Lakshmana and Shatrughna. Devoted to each other, the four princes grow up happily in the palace. But the gods have destined Rama to be a hero. His thrilling adventures begin when Rishi Vishwamitra comes to Ayodhya to seek his help against the rakshasas who are harassing the rishis in the forest. Accompanied by Lakshmana, the young prince goes to the forest to fight the evil rakshasas. Under the tutelage of the great rishi, Rama and Lakshmana learn the duties of a Kshatriya, and the secret mantras of all kinds of weapons. As they travel with the rishis, they also hear many fascinating tales about the people and places they see. At last they come to the palace of Mithila to see the great bow of Shiva. Here they meet King Janaka, who has promised his daughter’s hand to the strongest prince in the land…

    "For those who began to write at the end of the twenties or the beginning of the thirties, there were two great inescapable influences: Proust and Freud, who are mutually complementary." With its sweeping digressions into the past and reflections on the nature of memory, Proust's oceanic novel In Search of Lost Time looms over twentieth-century literature as one of the greatest, yet most endlessly challenging literary experiences. Influencing writers like Virginia Woolf and James Joyce, and even anticipating Albert Einstein in its philosophical explorations of space and time, In Search of Lost Time is a monumental achievement and a virtual rite of passage for any serious lover of literature.Now, in what renowned translator Arthur Goldhammer says might be "likened to a piano reduction of an orchestral score," the French illustrator Stéphane Heuet re-presents Proust in graphic form for anyone who has always dreamed of reading him but was put off by the sheer magnitude of the undertaking. This graphic adaptation reveals the fundamental architecture of Proust’s work while displaying a remarkable fidelity to his language as well as the novel's themes of time, art, and the elusiveness of memory. As Goldhammer writes in his introduction, the compression required by this kind of adaptation As Goldhammer writes in his introduction, "the reader new to Proust must attend closely, even in this compressed rendering, to the novel's circling rhythms and abrupt cross-cuts between different places and times. But this necessary attentiveness is abetted and facilitated by the compactness of the graphic format.”In this first volume, Swann's Way, the narrator Marcel, an aspiring writer, recalls his childhood when—in a now immortal moment in literature—the taste of a madeleine cake dipped in tea unleashes a torrent of memories about his family’s country home in the town of Combray. Here, Heuet and Goldhammer use Proust's own famously rich and labyrinthine sentences and discerning observations to render Combray like never before. From the water lillies of the Vivonne to the steeple and stained glass of the town church, Proust's language provides the blueprint for Heuet's illustrations. Heuet and Goldhammer also capture Proust's humor, wit, and sometimes scathing portrayals of Combray's many memorable inhabitants, like the lovelorn Charles Swann and the object of his affection and torment, Odette de Crécy; Swann's daughter Gilberte; local aristocrat the Duchesse de Guermantes; the narrator's uncle Adolphe; and the hypochondriac Aunt Léonie.Including a Proust family tree, a glossary of terms, and a map of Paris, this graphic adaptation is a surprising and useful companion piece to Proust’s masterpiece for both the initiated and those seeking an introduction.

    SUN TZU ON THE ART OF WAR THE OLDEST MILITARY TREATISE IN THE WORLD.

    Despite their mortality, heroes, like the gods, were objects of cult worship. Nagy examines this distinctively religious notion of the hero in its many dimensions, in texts spanning the eighth to fourth centuries bce: the Homeric Iliad and Odyssey; tragedies of Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides; songs of Sappho and Pindar; and dialogues of Plato. All works are presented in English translation, with attention to the subtleties of the original Greek, and are often further illuminated by illustrations taken from Athenian vase paintings.The fifth-century bce historian Herodotus said that to read Homer is to be a civilized person. In twenty-four installments, based on the Harvard University course Nagy has taught and refined since the late 1970s, The Ancient Greek Hero in 24 Hours offers an exploration of civilization s roots in the Homeric epics and other Classical literature, a lineage that continues to challenge and inspire us today.

    Scott Fitzgerald. In his effervescent tales of elegant ingenues on the prowl for husbands, Ivy League heirs en route to futures of idle entitlement, and endless alcohol-fueled dance parties at ritzy country clubs, he limned a culture giddy with excess and as reckless as it was refined. Gifted with remarkable powers of observation and a witty way with words, Fitzgerald wrote stories that seem as fresh and modern today as they did when published nearly a century ago. F. Scott Fitzgerald: Classic Works features two full-length novels--This Side of Paradise and The Beautiful and Damned--and nineteen short stories, including the classics "Bernice Bobs Her Hair," "The Diamond as Big as the Ritz," and "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button." Written as only they could be by an insider to the society that they protray, the twenty-one works collected in this volume capture the precarious splendor and doomed glory of that opulent era that their author called the Jazz Age.

The Legend of Sleepy Hollow tells the story of Ichabod Crane — a superstitious school teacher — and how he is driven from the small town of Sleepy Hollow by a headless, horse-riding specter. The mythic horseman in Irving’s Legend was rumored to be the ghost of a Revolutionary War soldier, tragically decapitated by a flying cannonball."Rip Van Winkle" is a short story by Irving published in 1819 as well as the name of the story's fictional protagonist. Written while Irving was living in Birmingham, England, it was part of a collection entitled The Sketch Book of Geoffrey Crayon, Gent."Old Christmas", published in 1886, is a collection of five Christmas "sketches" by Washington Irving from his famous Sketch Book. It describes Irving's experiences at the English country estate of Mr. Bracebridge during the "coaching days" of the early 19th century, focusing on the sights, sounds, smells and traditions of "Old" Christmas.Washington Irving (1783 - 1859) was an American author, essayist, biographer, historian, and diplomat of the early 19th century. His historical works include biographies of George Washington, Oliver Goldsmith and Muhammad, and several histories of 15th-century Spain dealing with subjects such as Christopher Columbus, the Moors, and the Alhambra.

    Hinton's award-winning experience translating a wide range of ancient Chinese poets makes these books sing in English as never before.

Equally influential in the social sphere, Confucious' Analects is the source of social wisdom in China. The Chuang Tzu is the wild and wacky prose complement to the Tao Te Ching. And with its philosophical story-telling, the Menicius adds depth and complexity to Confucius' vision.

     The Deerslayer Novel’s timeline: 1740-1745 Deerslayer Natty Bumppo is a young frontiersman in 18th-century New York. His philosophy is that living things should follow nature’s gifts, so he chooses not to take scalps, unlike compatriots Hurry Harry and floating Tom Hutter. When Hutter and March sneak into the camp of the Huron tribe in the middle of the night with murder on their minds, they are instead captured and face their own deaths. (Originally published 1841) The Last of the Mohicans Novel’s timeline: 1757 Set during the French and Indian War, The Last of the Mohicans tells the story of a white man adopted by the last members of a dying tribe called the Mohicans. The story revolves around Mohican Chingachgook, his son Uncas and adopted child Nathaniel Hawkeye. While the three refuse to enter the militia for Britain in 1757, Nathaniel unwittingly becomes the protector of a British Colonel’s two daughter and they are the target of Magua, a sadistic Huron warrior. While the story is about love and family, it is also a tale about a dying tribe, the Mohicans. (Originally published 1826) The Pathfinder Novel’s timeline: 1750s The Pathfinder is a sequel to Cooper's Last of the Mohicans. Sent on a secret mission to a British fortress hidden among Ontario, Canada's Thousand Islands, the Pathfinder, a.k.a. Hawkeye, Deerslayer, Natty Bumppo, has to protect Mabel Dunham and root out a devious traitor. Along the way, Pathfinder survives a storm on the lake, battles Iroquois, and navigates over a waterfall in a birch-bark canoe. Pathfinder, Mabel and a lake captain named Jasper Western are meanwhile involved in a love triangle. While Mabel's father would like her to marry Pathfinder, she is attracted to handsome Western.

    Before men of science from Miskatonic University can determine what it is, the space rock apparently evaporates. But terrible changes overtake the farm and its inhabitants, propelling them on a horrific course of desolation, madness, and death. The sole surviving witness to the events unwinds a chilling and disturbing tale of cosmic horror.The Colour Out of Space was Lovecraft's personal favorite of his own stories, and one of which he was justly proud. It is one of the best embodiments of the principles of the weird tale that Lovecraft lays out in his essay "Supernatural Horror in Literature,"for the Colour itself is unknowable and remains almost entirely unexplained. The Colour is a chillingly effective symbol for our perilously limited understanding of the vast cosmos beyond our solar system. The Dark Adventure Radio Theatre adaptation retains this feeling of cosmic menace, and adds a poignant human touch with its dramatization of what happens to the Gardner family and their neighbors, beautifully played by our talented professional cast, and underscored with haunting music by Troy Sterling Nies. It's a great weird tale made even better!

    While Cinderella is better known, Beauty and the Beast is most often voted the favorite among readers. The tale has definite literary origins. It was written by Madame Gabrielle-Suzanne de Villeneuve in 1740 as a novella length book. Villeneuve drew upon folklore for her inspiration as well as other literary predecessors. Her story was then adapted and rewritten by Madame Jeanne-Marie Leprince de Beaumont in 1757 into the version we most easily recognize today. The tale is part of a larger group of folktales-Animal Bridegroom stories-known in countless variations throughout Europe and Asia as well as Africa and the Americas. Starting with the story of Cupid and Psyche from the second century A.D. and continuing to modern times, Animal Bridegroom stories have warned and thrilled readers for at least two millennia. This collection offers over 180 Animal Bridegroom tales from around the world. Some of the tales are new translations, a few appearing for the first time in English. Whether you are a student of folklore or an armchair enthusiast, this anthology offers a diverse array of tales with a unifying theme that both entertains and educates, all gathered for the first time in one impressive collection.

    Scott Fitzgerald and Edmund Wilson. Like Mark Twain before him and James Thurber after, he was a master of many forms and moods, his literary signatures being a virtuoso, surrealistic tomfoolery that looks forward to S. J. Perelman and a dark edginess that feels contemporary.Now, The Library of America and editor Ian Frazier celebrate his achievement with a major collection of Lardner’s most enduring work. Here, in one volume for the first time, are the finest stories, the full texts of You Know Me Al, The Big Town, and the long out-of-print The Real Dope, and a generous sampling of humor pieces, sports reporting, song lyrics, surrealist playlets, and letters.Lardner began as a Chicago-based sports writer, and it was in the jargon of ball players that he wrote You Know Me Al (1916), the best-selling work that launched his literary career and earned the admiration of writers as diverse as Virginia Woolf and H. L. Mencken. Comprising the unvarnished letters of its comically self-admiring hero, bush-leaguer turned big-leaguer Jack Keefe, You Know Me Al’s brilliant burlesque of the egotism of sports stardom remains as fresh as ever. Lardner’s unrivaled ear for the rhythms and hilarious oddities of the American language as actually spoken was matched by a rare gift for inspired nonsense, whether he was writing a travel narrative from the vantage point of a four-year-old (The Young Immigrunts), a play set in “the Outskirts of a Parchesi Board,” or the story of Red Riding Hood “like I tell it to my little ones when they wake up in the morning with a headache after a tough night.”Lardner could find something to laugh about in the tiniest circumstance, but all the laughter could not mask the sardonic view he often took of the lives he described. Sharp and dispassionately observant of the American scene, his best stories (among them such masterpieces as “The Golden Honeymoon,” “Haircut,” “The Love Nest,” “A Day with Conrad Green,” and “Who Dealt?”) cast a devastating eye on the hypocrisies and prejudices of everyday life. His garrulous narrators, blissfully devoid of self-knowledge, are given just enough room to reveal themselves in all their petty scheming and unacknowledged resentment.Equal parts antic and acerbic, here is a body of writing that Mencken called a “mine of authentic Americana.” (Lardner’s play June Moon, which he co-authored with George S. Kaufman, is collected in George S. Kaufman & Co.: Broadway Comedies.)

    "In every duty look at Christ," urges Wilcox. "Before duty, to pardon; in duty, to assist; after duty, to accept. Without this it is but carnal, careless duty.Do not legalize the gospel as if part remained for you to do, or suffer, and Christ were but a half Mediator; as if you must bear part of your own sin, and make some satisfaction.Let sin break your heart, but not your hope in the gospel."

     Nature and Other Essays (1907) Ralph Waldo Emmerson's Nature essay is foundation of transcendentalism, a non-traditional belief system and appreciation of nature. Transcendentalism suggests that divinity suffuses all nature, and we can only understand reality through studying nature. Emerson divides nature into four usages; Commodity, Beauty, Language and Discipline, distinctions which define the ways by which humans use nature for their needs, their desire for delight, their communication with one another and their understanding of the world.

    The very best way of gaining such an understanding is to read the the works themselves! This book is aimed squarely at the introductory reader– it is not an academic or scholarly text. It is meant to entertain, to illuminate and to provide an authentic flavour of Nietzsche. The book is designed to be read cover to cover in a single day. This text is the result of a two year project to select the most illuminating and easily digestible key messages from Nietzsche. The book contains over 500 carefully selected “bite sized” quotations and occasional longer excerpts from all Nietzsche’s works including Notebooks, unpublished works and correspondence. The book covers not only core philosophical questions such as Free Will and man’s place in the cosmos, but also Nietzsche’s thoughts on (amongst other things): The State, Invalids, Charity, Crime, Suicide and Euthanasia, Vegetarianism and Americans.For each such quotation, a reference is provided to the source book and section from which the quotation was taken, thus enabling the reader to explore further where desired.Nietzsche fights a one man war on behalf of a humanity in dire need of a reconnection with its true self. Nietzsche’s passionate aim is to provide a pathway that will elevate mankind beyond the merely human and into the heights of Nietzsche’s envisioned Human 2.0: the Uberman. This path involves the unmasking and unwinding of the forces that seek to keep humanity from realising its full potential. His writings are passionate, brilliant blasts against the forces of Nihilism, Decadence and Religion.Nietzsche writings are honest to the point of harshness. His debunking of the modern ideals of Equality, Fraternity, Compassion and Moral righteousness are without doubt very politically incorrect, even by the standards of today. Nietzsche pulls no punches and requires a reader who is open to and appreciative of being challenged on all fronts.However, for such readers, beyond the harshness and challenge they will also find one of the most human and impassioned voices of the modern age, and a lifelong companion and guide for a modern, secular outlook on life.Lexido publishes key texts that seek to make Friedrich Nietzsche’s works as accessible as possible to the broadest range of modern readers with the object of promoting an understanding and development of the modern secular society.

    Only observation, says many times Leonardo, is the key to knowledge and understanding. His drawings are unlike from those of his generation and those drawn before and after him. Among them are fast sketches, portraits, rapid notes for compositions, complicated cartoons, drapery studies, and projects for machines, plants, animals, sketched from nature and anatomical studies. The grotesque caricatures are combinations and variations of human faces, creating a series of types. His anatomical sketches make obvious not only the place of muscles or the bone construction; they as well illustrate the embryo in mother's womb and a exposed skull, - symbols of the creation and ending of human life.
