Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -CLEANDRO: No hay mucho desde aquí a Sena. Laurencia tu tía, está a la muerte, el verme allá tiene de aliviar su pena. Mi hermana es y hermana buena. Sola ella pudiera ser ocasión, hija, de hacer, aunque corto, este camino, que no es poco desatino dejar sola una mujer moza y doncella en tu e…dad, donde el vicio y la insolencia habitan, porque Florencia no tiene otra vecindad. Parentesco y voluntad me obligan; pero el temor de tu edad y de mi honor, viendo el peligro en que estás, vuelven los pasos atrás que da adelante mi amor. Hija, si una despedida licencia de hablar merece, por ver lo que se parece a la muerte una partida, haz cuenta que de la vida en esta ausencia me alejo, y como cansado y viejo, no a Sena, al sepulcro voy; y que en el paso en que estoy te encamino y aconsejo. Sola en mi casa naciste de una madre a quien Florencia aunque muerta, reverencia; pero bien la conociste.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Estábamos de luto por mi madre, que había fallecido en otoño, y pasamos todo el invierno solas en la aldea, Katia, Sonia y yo. Katia era una antigua amiga de la casa, una institutriz que nos había criado a todos, y de la que yo me acordaba y a la que quería desde que tengo memoria. Sonia er…a mi hermana menor. Pasamos un invierno triste y lúgubre en nuestra vieja casa de Pokróvskoe. El tiempo era frío, ventoso, y los montones de nieve eran más altos aún que las ventanas; estas casi siempre estaban congeladas y empañadas, y el invierno transcurrió sin que apenas fuéramos a ningún lado. Rara vez llegaba alguien a visitarnos; y quien llegaba no aumentaba ni la alegría ni el contento en nuestra casa. Todos tenían una expresión triste, todos hablaban en voz baja, como si temieran despertar a alguien, no reían, suspiraban y con frecuencia lloraban al mirarme y, sobre todo, al mirar a la pequeña Sonia con su vestidito negro. Era como si en casa aún se percibiera la muerte; la tristeza y el horror de la muerte flotaban en el aire. La habitación de mamá permanecía cerrada, y aunque a mí me daba mucho miedo, había algo que me empujaba a asomarme a esa alcoba gélida y vacía cuando pasaba frente a ella antes de irme a acostar.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Cuénteme su historia desde el comienzo, Des Grieux, y dígame cómo llegó a conocerlo. ¿Fue en Queen¿s Hall, durante un concierto de caridad en que él actuaba; pues, aunque considero a los artistas amateurs como una de las numerosas plagas de nuestra moderna civilización, siendo mi madre una…de las organizadoras del acto, me creí con la obligación de asistir.¿Pero no se trataba de un simple aficionado.¿No, ciertamente; por esta época empezaba a hacerse ya un cierto nombre. Se hallaba ya sentado al piano cuando yo ocupé mi asiento en mi palco de orquesta. Tocó primeramente una de mis gavotas preferidas, una de esas ligeras y graciosas melodías que parecen impregnadas de un perfume de lavanda ambarina y que recuerdan a Lulli, A Watteau y a esas bellas marquesas empolvadas, cubiertas de satén, que nerviosamente juegan con su abanico. Al dar fin a su pieza, paseó varias veces su mirada por el lado de las damas organizadoras, y en el momento de ir a levantarse mi madre, que se hallaba sentada detrás de mí, me tocó el hombro para hacer una de esas inútiles e intempestivas observaciones con que a menudo suelen importunarnos las mujeres, de modo que cuando al fin pude volverme de nuevo para aplaudir, él había desaparecido.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -'Cranford' by Elizabeth Gaskell is a novel that intricately portrays the lives of the residents of a small English town during the 19th century. The narrative is centered around the predominantly female society of Cranford, where women hold the social and economic reins. The story begins wi…th a depiction of the town's social structure, where the absence of men is evolving, and the women maintain a genteel lifestyle despite their modest means. The novel introduces Captain Brown, a retired military man, and his two daughters, who become central figures in the community. Captain Brown's straightforwardness and lack of pretension endear him to the townspeople, despite initial resistance due to his candid discussions about poverty and his preference for contemporary literature over the classics revered by the town's matriarch, Miss Jenkyns. The narrative unfolds through a series of vignettes that highlight the social customs, economic challenges, and interpersonal relationships within Cranford. The characters navigate through life's trials with a blend of humor, resilience, and compassion. Miss Matty, Miss Jenkyns' sister, emerges as a sympathetic character who embodies the town's spirit of kindness and adaptability. The novel also touches on themes of change and continuity, as the characters confront personal losses and societal shifts. Gaskell's 'Cranford' is celebrated for its gentle satire and keen observation of human nature. The novel captures the essence of a bygone era, offering insights into the social dynamics and cultural norms of a rural English community. Through its rich characterizations and engaging storytelling, 'Cranford' remains a timeless exploration of friendship, community, and the enduring human spirit.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Written by William Shakespeare around 1599, The Life of Henry the Fifth, more commonly known as Henry V, chronicles the later history of King Henry the Fifth of England and his efforts during Hundred Years¿ War to reclaim disputed territories in France. The play starts with Henry¿s claims…to be the rightful heir to the French throne and, after his invasion of France, culminates with his famous and improbable victory at the Battle of Agincourt and the negotiation of the Treaty of Troyes.Henry V is believed to have been first performed in 1599 and first appears in a ¿bad¿ quarto in 1600, so-called because it contains a shortened version, likely unauthorized and potentially just based on a performance. This quarto was republished again in 1602 by a different printer and again in 1619. The first definitive text is the version published in the 1623 First Folio.The play is the last part of a series of four history plays written by Shakespeare, including Richard II, Henry IV, Part 1, and Henry IV, Part 2 and many of characters like Henry (who appears as a wild young Hal in the Henry IVs), Pistol, Bardolph, and Mistress Quickly would have therefore been familiar to the audience. It contains some of Shakespeare¿s most memorable lines and is often held up as a powerful portrayal of inspirational leadership.This Standard Elektronisches Buchs edition is based on William George Clark and William Aldis Wright¿s 1887 Victoria edition, which is taken from the Globe edition.

Denn der König gedenkt mit allen seinen BaronenHof zu halten in Feier und Pracht; er läßt sie berufenAlle miteinander, so gut die Großen als Kleinen.Niemand sollte fehlen! und dennoch fehlte der eineReineke Fuchs, der Schelm! der viel begangenen Frevels Halben des Hofs sich enthielt. So scheuet das böse Gewissen Licht und Tag, es scheute der Fuchs die versammelten Herren. Alle hatten zu klagen, er hatte sie alle beleidigtUnd nur Grimbart, den Dachs, den Sohn des Bruders, verschont' er.Isegrim aber, der Wolf, begann die Klage; von allenSeinen Vettern und Gönnern, von allen Freunden begleitetTrat er vor den König und sprach die gerichtlichen Worte: »Gnädigster König und Herr! vernehmet meine Beschwerden. Edel seid Ihr und groß und ehrenvoll, jedem erzeigt IhrRecht und Gnade: so laßt Euch denn auch des Schadens erbarmen, Den ich von Reineke Fuchs mit großer Schande gelitten.Aber vor allen Dingen erbarmt Euch, daß er mein Weib so Freventlich öfters verhöhnt und meine Kinder verletzt hat.Ach! er hat sie mit Unrat besudelt, mit ätzendem UnflatDaß mir zu Hause noch drei in bittrer Blindheit sich quälen.Zwar ist alle der Frevel schon lange zur Sprache gekommenJa, ein Tag war gesetzt, zu schlichten solche Beschwerden;Er erbot sich zum Eide, doch bald besann er sich andersUnd entwischte behend nach seiner Feste. Das wissenAlle Männer zu wohl, die hier und neben mir stehen.Herr! ich könnte die Drangsal, die mir der Bube bereitetNicht mit eilenden Worten in vielen Wochen erzählen.Würde die Leinwand von Gent, so viel auch ihrer gemacht wird, Alle zu Pergament, sie faßte die Streiche nicht alleUnd ich schweige davon. Doch meines Weibes Entehrung'.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -' It was Christmas-eve over on the East Side. Darkness was closing in on a cold, hard day. The light that struggled through the frozen windows of the delicatessen store, and the saloon on the corner, fell upon men with empty dinner…-pails who were hurrying homeward, their coats buttoned tightly, and heads bent against the steady blast from the river, as if they were butting their way down the street.The wind had forced the door of the saloon ajar, and was whistling through the crack; but in there it seemed to make no one afraid. Between roars of laughter, the clink of glasses and the rattle of dice on the hard- wood counter were heard out in the street. More than one of the passers-by who came within range was taken with an extra shiver in which the vision of wife and little ones waiting at home for his coming was snuffed out, as he dropped in to brace up. The lights were long out when the silent streets re-echoed his unsteady steps toward home, where the Christmas welcome had turned to dread.' 26 pp. Englisch.

The grey tribes flowed for ever from the infinite lifeless lands And a Norman to a Breton spoke, his chin upon his hands. ¿There was an end to Ilium; and an end came to Rome; And a man plays on a painted stage in the land that he calls home; Arch after arch of triumph, but floor beyond falling floorThat lead to a low door at last; and beyond there is no door.¿ And the Breton to the Norman spoke, like a small child spoke he, And his sea-blue eyes were empty as his home beside the sea: ¿There are more windows in one house than there are eyes to see, There are more doors in a man¿s house, but God has hid the key: Ruin is a builder of windows; her legend witnesseth.' 38 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -' A great many years ago, Augustus Caesar, then Emperor of Rome, ordered his mighty realm to be taxed; and so, in Judea, it is said, men went to the towns where their families belonged, to be registered for assessment. From Nazaret…h, a little town in the north of Judea, to Bethlehem, another little but more famous town in the south, there went one Joseph, the carpenter, and his wife Mary, obscure and poor people, both of them, as the story goes. At Bethlehem they lodged in a stable; for there were many persons in the town, and the tavern was full. Then and there a little boy was born, the son of this Joseph and Mary; they named him JEHOSHUA, a common Hebrew name, which we commonly call Joshua; but, in his case, we pronounce it JESUS. They laid him in the crib of the cattle, which was his first cradle. That was the first Christmas, kept thus in a barn, 1856 years ago. Nobody knows the day or the month; nay, the year itself is not certain.' 26 pp. Englisch.

The cloaked figure raises its head and listens with interest. The song draws nearer and Patricia Carleon enters. She is dark and slight, and has a dreamy expression. Though she is artistically dressed, her hair is a little wild. She has a broken branch of some flowering tree in her hand. She does not notice the stranger, and though he has watched her with interest, makes no sign. Suddenly she perceives him and starts back.Patricia. Oh! Who are you .' 50 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -'It will hardly be denied that there is one lingering doubt in many, who recognise unavoidable self-defence in the instant parry of the English sword, and who have no great love for the sweeping sabre of Sadowa and Sedan. That doub…t is the doubt whether Russia, as compared with Prussia, is sufficiently decent and democratic to be the ally of liberal and civilised powers. I take first, therefore, this matter of civilisation.It is vital in a discussion like this, that we should make sure we are going by meanings and not by mere words. It is not necessary in any argument to settle what a word means or ought to mean. But it is necessary in every argument to settle what we propose to mean by the word. So long as our opponent understands what is the thing of which we are talking, it does not matter to the argument whether the word is or is not the one he would have chosen. A soldier does not say 'We were ordered to go to Mechlin; but I would rather go to Malines.' He may discuss the etymology and archæology of the difference on the march; but the point is that he knows where to go. So long as we know what a given word is to mean in a given discussion, it does not even matter if it means something else in some other and quite distinct discussion. We have a perfect right to say that the width of a window comes to four feet; even if we instantly and cheerfully change the subject to the larger mammals; and say that an elephant has four feet. The identity of the words does not matter, because there is no doubt at all about the meanings; because nobody is likely to think of an elephant as four foot long, or of a window as having tusks and a curly trunk.' 36 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -' One of the strangest examples of the degree to which ordinary life is undervalued is the example of popular literature, the vast mass of which we contentedly describe as vulgar. The boy's novelette may be ignorant in a literary s…ense, which is only like saying that a modern novel is ignorant in the chemical sense, or the economic sense, or the astronomical sense; but it is not vulgar intrinsicallyit is the actual centre of a million flaming imaginations. In former centuries the educated class ignored the ruck of vulgar literature. They ignored, and therefore did not, properly speaking, despise it. Simple ignorance and indifference does not inflate the character with pride. A man does not walk down the street giving a haughty twirl to his moustaches at the thought of his superiority to some variety of deep-sea fishes. The old scholars left the whole under-world of popular compositions in a similar darkness.' 54 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -A young man stumbles into a rural public house in western Ireland claiming to be on the run after having killed his father. He immediately becomes a source of awe and an object of adoration, and even love. But what happens when the… inhabitants of this tiny village find out all is not as the stranger claims J. M. Synge first presented The Playboy of the Western World at the Abbey Theatre in Dublin on the 26th of January, 1907. The performance immediately offended Irish nationalists by seemingly insulting the Irish people and language, and the general public, by being an offense against moral order. Before it was even finished, it was disrupted by a riot that soon spread out into the city. When it was performed in 1911 in the U.S., the play was again greeted with scorn and the company arrested for an immoral performance.But as Synge himself attempts to explain in the preface to his play, rather than attack Irish Gaelic, he wanted to show the relationship between the imagination of the Irish country people and their speech, which is ¿rich and living,¿ and that his use of such language reflects reality in a way missing from other modern drama. He later insisted that his plot was not to be taken as social realism, but died in 1909 before the play finally gained broader appeal in the wider world. Since then the significance of The Playboy of the Western World has been recognized and celebrated both for its characterizations and its rich use of dialect. 94 pp. Englisch.

This comedy utilizes slapstick humor, word play, and mistaken identities to create a series of farcical accidents. Over time, the play¿s title has become an…idiom used to describe ¿an event or series of events made ridiculous by the number of errors that were made throughout.¿In Ephesus, the law forbids entry to any merchants from Syracuse, and if they are discovered within the city, they must pay a thousand marks or be put to death.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -' Harriet and Elizabeth Mortimer were two very pretty, and generally speaking, very good little girls. Their kind papa and mamma had taken a great deal of pains that they should be good, and it was very seldom that they vexed them…by being otherwise. A very happy time was now expected in the family at Beech Grove, by the arrival of John and Frederick Mortimer from school: it was within a few days of Christmas; and as the sisters and brothers had never, till the last few months, been separated, their meeting together again was looked forward to with general and lively pleasure.'Do you see anything of the stage, Elizabeth ' said Harriet to her sister, who had been running down to the end of the plantation to peep over the gate, and listen if she could hear the approach of wheels.'No: there is nothing in sight,' replied Elizabeth, whose teeth chattered from the cold, while her hands were so benumbed, she could scarcely close the gate, which she had ventured to open about half an inch.'They will never come,' said Harriet; 'but you should not open the gate, you know papa and mamma both told us we should not do that. And how cold you are! you are all over in a shiver. Come let us have a run round, and that will warm you. Remember mamma begged of us not to stand still in this sharp cutting wind.' 24 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass was written in 1845, seven years after Douglass escaped slavery, and is the first of three autobiographies. It covers his life as a slave, enduring the whips of the overseers and the…hopelessness of his circumstances, until his escape to the north and arrival at New Bedford, Massachusetts. The brutalities he witnessed and his slowly growing desire for freedom are presented in the vivid language he was already known for in his antislavery oration.The eloquence of Douglass¿s speeches caused some skeptics to doubt his credibility, believing that a former slave with no education could never speak so well. Thus, part of his motivation for writing the book was to dispel this suspicion and to provide a fuller history than was possible in his lectures. The abolitionists William Lloyd Garrison and Wendell Phillips provided introductions vouching for the truth of Douglass¿s words.The book was an immediate best seller. The fame brought danger to Douglass, who sailed for England shortly after the book¿s publication to ensure he would not be apprehended as a fugitive slave. He spent two years touring and lecturing in Great Britain and Ireland before returning to America to continue his abolitionist work. English supporters raised funds to purchase his freedom from his former master.The slave narrative is an autobiographical genre written by escaped slaves concerning their lives in bondage. Slave narratives not only promoted abolitionism by giving first hand evidence of the cruelty and hypocrisy of slaveholders, but also allowed African Americans to express themselves as intelligent, articulate individuals, deserving of respect and freedom. Douglass¿s Narrative is perhaps the most important example of the genre, on the basis of its literary merits and its impact on the abolitionist movement. 140 pp. Englisch.
