The Knights of the Cross by Henryk Sienkiewicz (E-BOOKARAMA) (19 Reviews)    Price verified 7 hours ago

"The Knights of the Cross" (or "The Teutonic Knights"; Krzy?acy in Polish) is a 1900 historical novel, an epic of medieval times and national destiny, ranked as one of the highest achievements from the pen of Henryk Sienkiewicz, the Literature Nobel Prize winner in 1905. "The Knights of the Cross" follows the adventures of Macko, a resourceful and wise veteran of war, and his young nephew, Zbyszko, the symbol of a maturing nation, as they struggle, along with the unified peoples of Poland and Lithuania, against the oppressive religious military Order (Knights of the Cross/Teutonic Knights). In a tavern inn Zbyszko falls in love with the lovely Danusia, who is traveling with the court of the Duchess Anna. He swears to her his knight's oath and promises to bring her 'three trophies' from the Teutonic Knights. Regarded as the most outstanding and prolific Polish writer of the second half of the nineteenth century, Henryk Sienkiewicz is perhaps best known for his epic historical novel "Quo Vadis", which depicts early Christianity and the persecutions. Sienkiewicz was known for his gigantic scenes, bright contrasts and the epic sweep of his works. He was a master in creating mass-action scenes and battles.

Raymond Roussel a 20 ans lorsque son premier livre, «la Doublure», sort en librairie. Mais son insuccès marque à jamais l'auteur orgueilleux qui ne trouvera la gloire tant recherchée qu'à titre posthume. Raymond Roussel est ce qu'on appelle un auteur "difficile". Délibérément ou non, il heurte les habitudes de lecture et les idées reçues. « Quand le volume parut, quand le jeune homme, avec une grand émotion, sortit dans la rue et s'aperçut qu'on ne se retournait pas sur son passage, le sentiment de gloire et la luminosité s'éteignirent brusquement. Alors commença une véritable crise de dépression mélancolique avec une sorte de délire de persécution, prenant la forme de l'obsession et de l'idée délirante du dénigrement universel des hommes les uns par les autres »

Le bacille (French Edition) by Arnould Galopin (Bibebook) (96 Reviews)    Price verified 8 hours ago

Martial Procas est un scientifique reconnu, spécialiste des microbes pathogènes. De plus il est beau et le tout-Paris, en particulier féminin, accourt à ses conférences universitaires. Un jour, une belle Américaine attire son regard et il tombe éperdument amoureux de cette femme qui se révèle une aventurière et le quitte quelques semaines à peine après leur mariage. Quand il s'en rend compte, Procas est victime d'une crise très grave, un cas de cyanose dû à un rétrécissement de l'artère pulmonaire. Procas prend une teinte bleue qui ne le quittera plus. Dès lors, victime de la haine de ses semblables, il doit fuir car «rien n'était impressionnant comme cette face qui semblait celle d'un cadavre en décomposition et qui était cependant éclairée par deux yeux jeunes où se lisaient la douleur de vivre encore et l'exaspération de ne plus compter parmi les vivants... ». Extrait : Tout à coup il s'arrêta. Un portrait de Meg accroché au mur le regardait de ses grands yeux étonnés. Il le contempla quelques instants, puis baissa lentement la tête, comprimant de ses deux mains les battements désordonnés de son c?ur. Maintenant que sa fureur était calmée, que sa haine avait fait place à un grand abattement, il se sentait devenir lâche, et si Meg fût revenue à cet instant, peut-être se serait-il jeté à ses pieds comme un coupable. Il regarda de nouveau le portrait, la poitrine secouée de petits sanglots convulsifs, puis passa dans le salon, qui s'illumina dès qu'il en ouvrit la porte. Le piano était demeuré ouvert et, sur le pupitre, s'étalait encore une berceuse de Grieg, qu'il aimait à entendre et qu'il faisait souvent jouer à Meg, car il trouvait à cette mélodie un charme mélancolique et doux, dont son c?ur d'amant était étrangement troublé.

Les chants de Maldoror (French Edition) by Le Comte De Lautréamont (Bibebook) (27 Reviews)    Price verified 9 hours ago

Les Chants de Maldoror sont un ouvrage en prose, composé de six parties (« chants ») et publié en 1869 par Isidore Ducasse sous le pseudonyme de Comte de Lautréamont. Le livre ne raconte pas une histoire unique et cohérente, mais est constitué d'une suite d'épisodes dont le fil conducteur est la présence de Maldoror, personnage maléfique doué de pouvoirs surnaturels. Le texte est fondé sur une esthétique de la rupture : chaque strophe peut être lue comme un fragment poétique autonome et aucun fil linéaire, qu'il soit narratif, descriptif ou discursif, n'est suivi bien longtemps. Il s'agit d'un brûlot, «politiquement incorrect», qui ne fut pas du goût des bien-pensants de l'époque. Nourri de violences, d'idées morbides et de délire - peste, pus et poux... - ce texte énigmatique et fascinant, ce texte de la démesure donne le vertige, et parfois un peu la nausée...

With Fire And Sword. Book I: The Uprising (Eastern Kingdom Series 1) by Henryk Sienkiewicz (apebook) (141 Reviews)    Price verified 7 hours ago

The main character of the book, the young nobleman Jan Skrzetuski, or Pan Jan for short, is caught in the middle of the beginning Cossack uprising under the legendary Bogdan Chmelnitzky. Along the way he also falls in love with the beautiful princess Helena, who is also desired by a Cossack officer. In the course of the book the conflict begins to take serious forms, Pan Jan meets most of the main characters on his travels and missions through Eastern Europe. Personal rivalries, chases on horseback, duels, drinking bouts, epic dialogues and great battles (which no normal European has ever heard of before) are also part of the book. As a reader, you live the tragic story of the kingdom, which in the end is destroyed by internal conflicts. This civil war, by the way, caused several million deaths - when reading the book it becomes clear why. Maybe it is necessary to warn potential readers that 17th century warfare in this region was extremely brutal and unless you can tolerate occasional descriptions of horrifying activities, perhaps you should not choose this novel. In the course of prosecuting this revolution or attempting to put it down local villages and Manor homes will be torched. There will be stories of widespread use of violence including the use of stakes, fire and torture to murder populations. Both sides will overindulge in the spilling of innocent blood. But if you can stand that you will be benefitted with excellent characterizations, an exceptionally tense and well-plotted love story intertwined with the basic plot. "The Uprising" is the first book of the epic trilogy WITH FIRE AND SWORD by Nobel Prize winner Henryk Sienkiewicz. It deals with the uprising of the Cossacks against the Poles in 1648. It is a world forgotten in Central Europe, which was ruled by a kingdom in personal union (Poland-Lithuania). The size of this first part of the first trilogy of The EASTERN KINGDOM Series is about 300 pages.

The eNotated Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll (38 Reviews)    Price verified 6 hours ago

Though most ebooks are simple conversions of paper books, "The eNotated Alice in Wonderland" is a completely new approach that takes advantage of ebook technology by providing comprehensive eNotations (electronic annotations), essays, and background information conveniently accessible through links and a active table of contents. Written by Pam Sowers, researcher, journalist, and long-time "Alice" fan, this background biographical, historical, and interpretive information reveals an "Alice" not visible to most readers. Says Sowers, "This book is for adults as well as children. 'Alice in Wonderland' is not simply a sweet children's story set in dreamland. It is much more complex. Themes include death, racism, politics, anger, confusion, logic and women's roles. Carroll wrote in a world controlled by Victorian sensibilities." One hundred fifty years ago, Charles Dodgson, joined a party boating from Oxford to Godstow that included three little girls, Alice Liddell and her sisters. In charge of entertainment, Dodgson told the girls a story that with Alice's encouragement became "Alice in Wonderland," published three years later under the pen name Lewis Carroll. Immediately popular and published in hundreds of variously illustrated editions reaching millions of readers over generations, "Alice" has over time become less accessible than it was to Carroll's Victorian contemporaries. Sowers's eNotations supply the tacit background Alice knew but we don't, revealing the humor, insight, and fun of this many-layered complex book. This eNotated Classics sesquicentennial edition of "Alice" contains more than 90 illustrations, most in color, from the most beloved editions of Alice as well as more than 360 eNotations, an introduction, two fascinating essays, an extensive bibliography, and a chronology showing where Carroll and "Alice" fit in their times. If you read Alice as a child, you'll be amazed on reading the eNotated edition how much you missed and can now ...

The Holy War (Updated, Illustrated): Made by Shaddai upon Diabolus for the Regaining of the Metropolis of the World (Bunyan Updated Classics Book 2) by John Bunyan (Aneko Press) (716 Reviews)    Price verified 7 hours ago

More than 100 Original Illustrations Bonus Content: The Life of John Bunyan, by William Brock For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the lords of this age, rulers of this darkness, against spiritual wickedness in the heavens. (Ephesians 6:12) What if you were able to see your life from a spiritual perspective and see the actual reality of the verse above? How does our enemy, Diabolus, plan and carry out his attacks? How do his demons help, and what are their objectives? Why and how must we petition Emmanuel to get His attention and help in this great, holy war? Written four years after The Pilgrim's Progress, John Bunyan followed up with this second allegorical classic, which has touched hearts and minds of readers for generations. The epicenter of this book is the town of Mansoul, its people (such as Conscience, Self-Denial, and Do-Right), and its gates (Eye-gate, Ear-gate, Mouth-gate, Nose-gate, and Feel-gate). The attack by Diabolus and his demons, all of whom have appropriate names, is carefully planned and executed. As still happens to men today, Mansoul fell hard.
