]]> Leopardi: Selected Poems 1010391 By catching something of Leopardi's cadences and tonality in a version that still reads as idiomatic modern English (with an occasional Irish or American accent), Leopardi: Selected Poems should win for the Italian poet the wider appreciative audience he deserves. His themes are mutability, landscape, love; his attitude, one of unflinching realism in the face of unavoidable human loss. But the manners of the poems are a unique amalgam of philosophical toughness and the lyrically bittersweet. In a way more pure and distilled than most others in the Western tradition, these poems are truly what Matthew Arnold asked all poetry to be, a "criticism of life." The translator's aim is to convey something of the profundity and something of the sheer poetic achievement of Leopardi's inestimable Canti.]]> 104 Giacomo Leopardi 0691016445 Бобан 0 currently-reading 4.13 1995 Leopardi: Selected Poems

Винаги се чувствам весела
с теб лъжеца и фантаста.
Ранна есен е развесила
жълти флагове по бряста.

Бродим в краища притихнали
и ни мъчи разкаяние,
но защо сме се усмихнали
в горко някакво страдание?

Не потърсихме идилия,
нито безметежно щастие...
Винаги към тебе, милия,

]]> The Thorn Birds 3412
The central figures in this enthralling story are the indomitable Meggie, the only Cleary daughter, and the one man she truly loves, the stunningly handsome and ambitious priest Ralph de Bricassart. Ralph's course moves him a long way indeed, from a remote Outback parish to the halls of the Vatican; and Meggie's except for a brief and miserable marriage elsewhere, is fixed to the Drogheda that is part of her bones - but distance does not dim their feelings though it shapes their lives.

Wonderful characters people this book; strong and gentle, Paddy, hiding a private memory; dutiful Fiona, holding back love because it once betrayed her, violent, tormented Frank, and the other hardworking Cleary sons who give the boundless lands of Drogheda the energy and devotion most men save for women; Meggie; Ralph; and Meggie's children, Justine and Dane. And the land itself; stark, relentless in its demands, brilliant in its flowering, prey to gigantic cycles of drought and flood, rich when nature is bountiful, surreal like no other place on earth.

]]> As I Lay Dying 77013 As I Lay Dying is Faulkner’s harrowing account of the Bundren family’s odyssey across the Mississippi countryside to bury Addie, their wife and mother. Narrated in turn by each of the family members -- including Addie herself -- as well as others; the novel ranges in mood, from dark comedy to the deepest pathos. Considered one of the most influential novels in American fiction in structure, style, and drama, As I Lay Dying is a true 20th-century classic.

Кафка никогаш ја немал посетено Америка и уште од првите страници на книгата очигледно е дека не му било целта да даде некаква реална претстава за неа. Слики од имагинарни пејзажи, злокобни опасности, безизлезни ситуации, постојани неправди и гротескни тензии меѓу ликовите го карактеризираат овој генијален роман.

]]> Moby-Dick or, The Whale 153747 "It is the horrible texture of a fabric that should be woven of ships' cables and hawsers. A Polar wind blows through it, and birds of prey hover over it."

So Melville wrote of his masterpiece, one of the greatest works of imagination in literary history. In part, Moby-Dick is the story of an eerily compelling madman pursuing an unholy war against a creature as vast and dangerous and unknowable as the sea itself. But more than just a novel of adventure, more than an encyclopaedia of whaling lore and legend, the book can be seen as part of its author's lifelong meditation on America. Written with wonderfully redemptive humour, Moby-Dick is also a profound inquiry into character, faith, and the nature of perception.

This edition of Moby-Dick, which reproduces the definitive text of the novel, includes invaluable explanatory notes, along with maps, illustrations, and a glossary of nautical terms.]]> 720 Herman Melville 0142437247 Бобан 0 to-read 3.53 1851 Moby-Dick or, The Whale

]]> Brave New World 5129 Brave New World is a searching vision of an unequal, technologically-advanced future where humans are genetically bred, socially indoctrinated, and pharmaceutically anesthetized to passively uphold an authoritarian ruling order–all at the cost of our freedom, full humanity, and perhaps also our souls. “A genius [who] who spent his life decrying the onward march of the Machine� (The New Yorker), Huxley was a man of incomparable talents: equally an artist, a spiritual seeker, and one of history’s keenest observers of human nature and civilization. Brave New World, his masterpiece, has enthralled and terrified millions of readers, and retains its urgent relevance to this day as both a warning to be heeded as we head into tomorrow and as thought-provoking, satisfying work of literature. Written in the shadow of the rise of fascism during the 1930s, Brave New Worldd likewise speaks to a 21st-century world dominated by mass-entertainment, technology, medicine and pharmaceuticals, the arts of persuasion, and the hidden influence of elites.

]]> <![CDATA[The Temple of the Golden Pavilion]]> 62798 The Temple of the Golden Pavilion, celebrated Japanese novelist Yukio Mishima creates a haunting and vivid portrait of a young man’s obsession with idealized beauty and his destructive quest to possess it fully.

Mizoguchi, an ostracized stutterer, develops a childhood fascination with Kyoto’s famous Golden Temple. While an acolyte at the temple, he fixates on the structure’s aesthetic perfection and it becomes the one and only object of his desire. But as Mizoguchi begins to perceive flaws in the temple, he determines that the only true path to beauty lies in an act of horrendous violence. Based on a real incident that occurred in 1950, The Temple of the Golden Pavilion brilliantly portrays the passions and agonies of a young man in postwar Japan, bringing to the subject the erotic imagination and instinct for the dramatic moment that marked Mishima as one of the towering makers of modern fiction. With an introduction by Donald Keene; Translated from the Japanese by Ivan Morris.

]]> The Double 210190 Crime and Punishment, The Brothers Karamazov, and The Idiot, Dostoyevsky also wrote much superb short fiction. The Double is one of the finest of his shorter works. It appeared in 1846 (his second published work) and is by far the most significant of his early stories, not least for its successful, straight-faced treatment of a hallucinatory theme.
In The Double, the protagonist, Golyadkin senior, is persecuted by his double, Golyadkin junior, who resembles him closely in almost every detail. The latter abuses the former with mounting scorn and brutality as the tale proceeds toward its frightening denouement. Characteristic Dostoyevskyan themes of helplessness, victimization, and scandal are beautifully handled here with an artistry that qualifies the story as a small masterpiece.
Students of literature, admirers of Dostoyevsky, and general readers will all be delighted to have this classic work available in this inexpensive but high-quality edition.

]]> Бајазит и Оливера 18366675
Той е турският султан Баязид I, властвал от 1389 до 1402 година, тя � сръбската принцеса Деспина Оливера, най-малката дъщеря на княз Лазар и княгиня Милица. Действието се развива в периода след Косовската битка през 1389 година, когато е убит Лазар, а Оливера става една от четирите законни съпруги на Баязид.

Оливера е расла в среда, където моногамията е вековна традиция, а попада в общество, където господства полигамията. „А� бях жена на многоженец, жена на жесток друговерец, жена на човек-звяр, убиеца на благородния ми баща! Може би ме обичаше, но дали тази обич, поставена на везните с другото, щеше да натежи?�

Романът докосва темата за най-трудно преодолимата цивилизационна пропаст между Европа и Азия. Различията между Оливера и Баязид са огромни. Тогава кое е онова, което поддържа връзката между тях толкова жива и романтична? Коя е силата и причината, която държи заедно двама души, принадлежащи към очевидно различни и непримирими светове? Отговорът, който дава авторът е еднозначен и прост � любовта. Между двамата съществува един специфичен брак и една специална, но изключително силна любов. Това е брак между православното християнство и исляма, брак между сръбската принцеса и убиеца на баща й, натрапен й поради интересите на сръбския народ, брак между врагове, който тя жертвоготовно приема. Но между нея и Баязид възниква любов � истинска любов и страст, „любо� към най-омразния враг�. Или както подчертава самата Оливера: „Сам� любовта има сила да прекрачи всички граници и задръжки � расови, национални, религиозни�. Но тази любов-оксиморон съдържа в себе си и още нещо � онази тънка гранична линия между любовта и омразата, а по този начин и крехката граница между отдалечените и различни култури, което, разбира се, води до заключението, че индивидуалните, но и културните идентичности (близки или далечни, сходни или различни, приятелски или неприятелски) са осъдени на вечен диалог. Особено ако връзката между тях е любовта, или пък може би омразата. Омразата, родена от любовта и ревността, която е способна дори да убие за отмъщение�

Посланията в романа на Михайловски са многобройни, но основната идея е в неизбежността на връзките между различните културни ценности, независимо дали причината за това е любовта, страстта, суетата, омразата, алчността или всички те, взети заедно. Авторът ни поднася разсъжденията си върху тази общочовешка тема в един роман, който ражда универсално послание за любовта като мост между хората и техните култури.]]> Драги Михајловски Бобан 0 to-read 4.14 2009 Бајазит и Оливера

]]> Notes from Underground 49455 Notes from Underground marks the dividing line between nineteenth- and twentieth-century fiction, and between the visions of self each century embodied. One of the most remarkable characters in literature, the unnamed narrator is a former official who has defiantly withdrawn into an underground existence. In complete retreat from society, he scrawls a passionate, obsessive, self-contradictory narrative that serves as a devastating attack on social utopianism and an assertion of man’s essentially irrational nature.

Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky, whose Dostoevsky translations have become the standard, give us a brilliantly faithful edition of this classic novel, conveying all the tragedy and tormented comedy of the original.]]> 136 Fyodor Dostoevsky 067973452X Бобан 0 4.21 1864 Notes from Underground

]]> The Sense of an Ending 10746542 An alternative cover edition for this ISBN can be found here

By an acclaimed writer at the height of his powers, The Sense of an Ending extends a streak of extraordinary books that began with the best-selling Arthur & George and continued with Nothing to Be Frightened Of and, most recently, Pulse.

This intense novel follows a middle-aged man as he contends with a past he has never much thought about - until his closest childhood friends return with a vengeance, one of them from the grave, another maddeningly present. Tony Webster thought he'd left all this behind as he built a life for himself, and by now his marriage and family and career have fallen into an amicable divorce and retirement. But he is then presented with a mysterious legacy that obliges him to reconsider a variety of things he thought he'd understood all along, and to revise his estimation of his own nature and place in the world.

A novel so compelling that it begs to be read in a single sitting, with stunning psychological and emotional depth and sophistication, The Sense of an Ending is a brilliant new chapter in Julian Barnes's oeuvre.]]> 150 Julian Barnes 0224094157 Бобан 0 to-read 3.73 2011 The Sense of an Ending

]]> The Noise of Time 25912206 The Sense of an Ending.

In 1936, Shostakovitch, just thirty, fears for his livelihood and his life. Stalin, hitherto a distant figure, has taken a sudden interest in his work and denounced his latest opera. Now, certain he will be exiled to Siberia (or, more likely, executed on the spot), Shostakovitch reflects on his predicament, his personal history, his parents, various women and wives, his children—and all who are still alive themselves hang in the balance of his fate. And though a stroke of luck prevents him from becoming yet another casualty of the Great Terror, for decades to come he will be held fast under the thumb of despotism: made to represent Soviet values at a cultural conference in New York City, forced into joining the Party and compelled, constantly, to weigh appeasing those in power against the integrity of his music.

Barnes elegantly guides us through the trajectory of Shostakovitch's career, at the same time illuminating the tumultuous evolution of the Soviet Union. The result is both a stunning portrait of a relentlessly fascinating man and a brilliant exploration of the meaning of art and its place in society.]]> 184 Julian Barnes 1910702609 Бобан 0 to-read 3.72 2016 The Noise of Time

]]> Krapp's Last Tape 28550115 Krapp's Last Tape on four separate occasions: this volume offers a facsimile of his 1969 Schiller-Theater notebook.

Professor Knowlson writes that in these notes 'we see Beckett simplifying, shaping and refining, as he works towards a realization of the play that will function well dramatically. The material reveals a flexibility and openness of approach often considered alien to Beckett's ways of working in the theatre.' The Schiller notebook also contains some of the most explicit analysis by Beckett of his own work ever revealed.

The revised text incorporates many of the changes Beckett made in the 1969 Schiller production, as well as subsequent changes in later productions. Professor Knowlson worked closely with Beckett over these revisions - and deviations from the original are noted and explained in detail.]]> 13 Samuel Beckett Бобан 0 3.64 1958 Krapp's Last Tape

]]> Господарот на мувите 63048272

Тие се обидуваат да создадат сопствено општество, но не успеваат во тоа. И додека редот се урива, додека почнуваат да одекнуваат чудни завивања во ноќта, додека почнува да владее теророт, надежта за авантура почнува да изгледа исто толку далеку од реалноста колку и надежта за спасување.


Сметан за парабола, алегорија, мит, приказна за моралот, пародија, политички трактат, па дури и за своевидна визија за апокалипсата, Господарот на мувите е можеби нашиот најнезаборавен роман за „крајот на невиноста, за темнината на човечкото срце...“]]> 207 William Golding 6082675150 Бобан 0 4.43 1954 Господарот на мувите

One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them.

Frodo and his Companions of the Ring have been beset by danger during their quest to prevent the Ruling Ring from falling into the hands of the Dark Lord by destroying it in the Cracks of Doom. They have lost the wizard, Gandalf, in a battle in the Mines of Moria. And Boromir, seduced by the power of the Ring, tried to seize it by force. While Frodo and Sam made their escape, the rest of the company was attacked by Orcs. Now they continue the journey alone down the great River Anduin—alone, that is, save for the mysterious creeping figure that follows wherever they go.]]> 448 J.R.R.

]]> Папокот на светлината 65726065
Јан Лудвиг, протагонистот кој пред повеќе од 20 години трагаше по папокот на светот (љубов кон жената), сега е во потрага по папокот на Светлината. Заедно со другите ликови, тој се обидува да открие каде се раѓа онаа Светлина која ја просветлува душата и како се случува некој цел живот да ја бара неа, а некој да се задоволи да му биде облека на ѓаволот.

„Папоко� на светлината� е во знакот на Светото Тројство: тројца навидум различни раскажувачи раскажуваат три навидум неповрзани приказни, сите љубовни на свој начин, три наративи кои на крајот се сврзуваат во еден, можен роман. На тој начин овој роман станува и нов клуч за читање на „Папоко� на светот�; тројството на светлината го надминува дуализмот на светот. Дуализам кој и ќе го уништи стариот поредок, со сите негови морални вредности, и ќе го претвори во опожарена цивилизација врз чии јагленосани остатоци треба да се крене новиот свет.

„Папоко� на светлината� е значаен прилог кон тој нов, продуховен свет.]]> 315 Венко Андоновски 6082308816 Бобан 0 4.49 2022 Папокот на светлината

In ancient times the Rings of Power were crafted by the Elven-smiths, and Sauron, The Dark Lord, forged the One Ring, filling it with his own power so that he could rule all others. But the One Ring was taken from him, and though he sought it throughout Middle-earth, it remained lost to him. After many ages it fell into the hands of Bilbo Baggins, as told in The Hobbit.

In a sleepy village in the Shire, young Frodo Baggins finds himself faced with an immense task, as his elderly cousin Bilbo entrusts the Ring to his care. Frodo must leave his home and make a perilous journey across Middle-earth to the Cracks of Doom, there to destroy the Ring and foil the Dark Lord in his evil purpose.]]> 438 J.R.R.

Paris, Noël 2021.

Après un accident cardiaque, Mathias Taillefer se réveille dans une chambre d’hôpital. Une jeune fille inconnue se tient à son chevet. C’est Louise Collange, une étudiante venue jouer bénévolement du violoncelle aux patients.

Lorsqu’elle apprend que Mathias est flic, elle lui demande de reprendre une affaire un peu particulière. D’abord réticent, Mathias accepte finalement de l’aider, les plongeant dès lors, tous les deux, dans un engrenage mortel.

Ainsi commence une enquête hors du commun, dont le secret tient à la vie qu’on aurait voulu mener, l’amour qu’on aurait pu connaître, et la place qu’on espère encore trouver�

A mysterious island. An abandoned orphanage. A strange collection of very curious photographs. It all waits to be discovered in Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children, an unforgettable novel that mixes fiction and photography in a thrilling reading experience. As our story opens, a horrific family tragedy sets sixteen-year-old Jacob journeying to a remote island off the coast of Wales, where he discovers the crumbling ruins of Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children. As Jacob explores its abandoned bedrooms and hallways, it becomes clear that the children were more than just peculiar. They may have been dangerous. They may have been quarantined on a deserted island for good reason. And somehow-impossible though it seems-they may still be alive. A spine-tingling fantasy illustrated with haunting vintage photography, Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children will delight adults, teens, and anyone who relishes an adventure in the shadows.]]> 352 Ransom Riggs 1594744769 Бобан 0 3.92 2011 Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children (Miss Peregrine's Peculiar Children, #1)

]]> The Gift of the Magi 143534 O. Henry's classic tale of the wisest gifts of Christmas is itself a gift to share and treasure.

In a shabby New York flat, Della sobs as she counts the few coins she has saved to buy a Christmas present for her husband, Jim. One dollar and eighty-seven cents is all the money she has in the world. A gift worthy of her devotion will require a great sacrifice: selling her long, beautiful hair. Set in New York at the turn of the twentieth century, this classic piece of American literature tells the story of a young couple and the value of love.

Jim, meanwhile, has made a sacrifice for Della that is no less difficult. As they exchange gifts on Christmas Eve, the discovery of what each has done fills them with despair, until they realize that the true gifts of Christmas can be found more readily in their humble apartment than in any fine store. Set in New York at the turn of the twentieth century, this classic piece of American literature tells the story of a young couple and the value of love.

O. Henry paints a masterly portrait of unfaltering love, a haven from the harsh world outside. The poignancy of his story is captured in Zwerger's eloquent art, wherein every glance, every gesture, tells a subtle truth.]]> 26 O. Henry 141693586X Бобан 0 4.10 1905 The Gift of the Magi

]]> Caligula 15698 Alternate cover edition of ISBN 9782070386703.

Ange en quête d'absolu ? Monstre sanguinaire ? Avant la guerre, Albert Camus conçoit Caligula, ainsi que Sisyphe ou Meursault (L'Étranger), comme un héros de l'Absurde. En 1945, la pièce est reçue comme une fable sur les horreurs du nazisme. Ses versions et ses mises en scène successives, l'évolution de la sensibilité du public ont contribué à faire de Caligula une des figures les plus troublantes de notre théâtre. À l'image du tyran se superposent, dans notre mémoire, les visages de Gérard Philipe, qui créa le rôle, et celui d'Albert Camus, qui mêla toujours au besoin de tendresse et à l'exigence de pureté une étrange «fixation au meurtre» et «cette violence intérieure» (Jean Grenier) qui anime son empereur romain.]]> 224 Albert Camus Бобан 0 4.10 1944 Caligula

A gang of thieves stage a daring heist from a secure vault deep below Princeton University’s Firestone Library. Their loot is priceless, but Princeton has insured it for twenty-five million dollars.

Bruce Cable owns a popular bookstore in the sleepy resort town of Santa Rosa on Camino Island in Florida. He makes his real money, though, as a prominent dealer in rare books. Very few people know that he occasionally dabbles in the black market of stolen books and manuscripts.

Mercer Mann is a young novelist with a severe case of writer’s block who has recently been laid off from her teaching position. She is approached by an elegant, mysterious woman working for an even more mysterious company. A generous offer of money convinces Mercer to go undercover and infiltrate Bruce Cable’s circle of literary friends, ideally getting close enough to him to learn his secrets.

But eventually Mercer learns far too much, and there’s trouble in paradise as only John Grisham can deliver it.]]> 290 John Grisham 0385543026 Бобан 0 3.69 2017 Camino Island (Camino Island, #1)

]]> The Metamorphosis 485894 Alternate cover edition of ISBN 0553213695 / 9780553213690

"As Gregor Samsa awoke one morning from uneasy dreams he found himself transformed in his bed into a gigantic insect. He was laying on his hard, as it were armor-plated, back and when he lifted his head a little he could see his domelike brown belly divided into stiff arched segments on top of which the bed quilt could hardly keep in position and was about to slide off completely. His numerous legs, which were pitifully thin compared to the rest of his bulk, waved helplessly before his eyes."

With it's startling, bizarre, yet surprisingly funny first opening, Kafka begins his masterpiece, The Metamorphosis. It is the story of a young man who, transformed overnight into a giant beetle-like insect, becomes an object of disgrace to his family, an outsider in his own home, a quintessentially alienated man. A harrowing—though absurdly comic—meditation on human feelings of inadequacy, guilt, and isolation, The Metamorphosis has taken its place as one of the most widely read and influential works of twentieth-century fiction. As W.H. Auden wrote, "Kafka is important to us because his predicament is the predicament of modern man."]]> 201 Franz Kafka 0553213695 Бобан 5 3.90 1915 The Metamorphosis
