At the centre of this novel is the passionate love between Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff - recounted with such emotional intensity that a plain tale of the Yorkshire moors acquires the depth and simplicity of ancient tragedy.

This best-selling Norton Critical Edition is based on the 1847 first edition of the novel. For the Fourth Edition, the editor has collated the 1847 text with several modern editions and has corrected a number of variants, including accidentals. The text is accompanied by entirely new explanatory annotations.

New to the fourth Edition are twelve of Emily Bronte's letters regarding the publication of the 1847 edition of Wuthering Heights as well as the evolution of the 1850 edition, prose and poetry selections by the author, four reviews of the novel, and poetry selections by the author, four reviews of the novel, and Edward Chitham's insightful and informative chronology of the creative process behind the beloved work.

Five major critical interpretations of Wuthering Heights are included, three of them new to the Fourth Edition. A Stuart Daley considers the importance of chronology in the novel. J. Hillis Miller examines Wuthering Heights's problems of genre and critical reputation. Sandra M. Gilbert assesses the role of Victorian Christianity plays in the novel, while Martha Nussbaum traces the novel's romanticism. Finally, Lin Haire-Sargeant scrutinizes the role of Heathcliff in film adaptations of Wuthering Heights.

A Chronology and updated Selected Bibliography are also included.]]> 464 Emily Brontë Asmaa 0 3.89 1847

]]> 1885 Pride and Prejudice has remained one of the most popular novels in the English language. Jane Austen called this brilliant work "her own darling child" and its vivacious heroine, Elizabeth Bennet, "as delightful a creature as ever appeared in print." The romantic clash between the opinionated Elizabeth and her proud beau, Mr. Darcy, is a splendid performance of civilized sparring. And Jane Austen's radiant wit sparkles as her characters dance a delicate quadrille of flirtation and intrigue, making this book the most superb comedy of manners of Regency England.

'The more I know of the world, the more am I convinced that I shall never see a man whom I can really love. I require so much!'

Marianne Dashwood wears her heart on her sleeve, and when she falls in love with the dashing but unsuitable John Willoughby she ignores her sister Elinor's warning that her impulsive behaviour leaves her open to gossip and innuendo. Meanwhile Elinor, always sensitive to social convention, is struggling to conceal her own romantic disappointment, even from those closest to her. Through their parallel experience of love—and its threatened loss—the sisters learn that sense must mix with sensibility if they are to find personal happiness in a society where status and money govern the rules of love.

This edition includes explanatory notes, textual variants between the first and second editions, and Tony Tanner's introduction to the original Penguin Classic edition.]]> 409 Jane Austen 0141439661 Asmaa 0 4.10 1811

Robert Greene’s groundbreaking guides, The 48 Laws of Power , The Art of Seduction , and Mastery  espouse profound, timeless lessons from the events of history to help readers vanquish an enemy, ensnare an unsuspecting victim, or become the greatest in your field. In The 33 Strategies of War , Greene has crafted an important addition to this ruthless and unique series.

Spanning world civilizations, synthesizing dozens of political, philosophical, and religious texts and thousands of years of violent conflict, The 33 Strategies of War is a comprehensive guide to the subtle social game of everyday life informed by the most ingenious and effective military principles in war. Structured in Greene’s trademark style, The 33 Strategies of War is the I-Ching of conflict, the contemporary companion to Sun Tzu’s The Art of War .

Abundantly illustrated with examples from history, including the folly and genius of everyone from Napoleon to Margaret Thatcher, Shaka the Zulu to Lord Nelson, Hannibal to Ulysses S. Grant, as well as movie moguls, Samurai swordsmen, and diplomats, each of the thirty-three chapters outlines a strategy that will help you win life’s wars. Learn the offensive strategies that require you to maintain the initiative and negotiate from a position of strength, or the defensive strategies designed to help you respond to dangerous situations and avoid unwinnable wars. The great warriors of battlefields and drawing rooms alike demonstrate prudence, agility, balance, and calm, and a keen understanding that the rational, resourceful, and intuitive always defeat the panicked, the uncreative, and the stupid. An indispensable book, The 33 Strategies of War provides all the psychological ammunition you need to overcome patterns of failure and forever gain the upper hand.]]> 496 Robert Greene 0670034576 Asmaa 0 4.22 2001

واليهود يفعلون هذا في أمريكا فهم لا يحاولون خلع أحد من الحكام وإنما يكتفون بتشكيل جماعات ضغط (لوبي) في الكونجرس وفى الصحافة وفى الإذاعة وفى التلفزيون ليكون لهم تأثير على الرأي العام وبالتالي على الحاكم أيا كان ذلك الحاكم ..

ولا يوجد حاكم لا يحسب للرأي العام ألف حساب.
وكان خطأ الحركات الإسلامية في الماضي أنها حاولت ضرب الحاكم وقلب نظامه فدخلوا السجون بدلا من أن يدخلوا البرلمان وقد أخطؤوا بذلك مرتين .. أخطؤوا في حق الحاكم وأخطؤوا في حق الإسلام فالإسلام سلاحه الإقناع وليس الإرهاب ...أما الذي يقع في خانة الإرهاب فهو شيء آخر غير الإسلام .. شيء اسمه الجريمة.]]> 141 مصطفى محمود Asmaa 0 3.81

"ما أظن أني تمتعت بعمل من هذا القبيل.. ما أروع هذا العمل"
-- يحيى الجمل

"هذه الرواية عمل مبدع وخطير، مبدع لما يحتويه من مناطق حوارية إنسانية مكتوبة بحساسية مرهفة تمتزج فيها العاطفة بالمتعة، وخطير لأنه يتضمن دراسة في نشأة وتطور الصراع المذهبي بين الطوائف المسيحية في المشرق.. إن يوسف زيدان يتميز بالموهبتين، موهبة المبدع وموهبة الباحث، وكثيرا ما تتداخل الموهبتان في هذا العمل"
-- سامي خشبة

"لو قرأنا الرواية قراءة حقيقية، لأدركنا سمو أهدافها ونبل غاياتها الأخلاقية والروحية التي هي تأكيد لقيم التسامح وتقبل الآخر، واحترام حق الاختلاف، ورفض مبدأ العنف.. ولغة الرواية لغة شعرية، تترجع فيها أصداء المناجيات الصوفية، خصوصا حين نقرأ مناجاة هيبا لربه "
-- د. جابر عصفور

"يوسف زيدان هو أول روائي مسلم، يكتب عن اللاهوت المسيحي بشكل روائي عميق. وهو أول مسلم، يحاول أن يعطي حلولا لمشكلات كنسية كبرى.. إن يوسف زيدان اقتحم حياة الأديرة، ورسم بريشة راهب أحداثا كنسية حدثت بالفعل، وكان لها أثر عظيم في تاريخ الكنيسة القبطية"

]]> 10917 New York Times best-selling author Jodi Picoult is widely acclaimed for her keen insights into the hearts and minds of real people. Now she tells the emotionally riveting story of a family torn apart by conflicting needs and a passionate love that triumphs over human weakness.

Anna is not sick, but she might as well be. By age 13 she has undergone countless surgeries, transfusions, and shots so that her older sister, Kate, can somehow fight the leukemia that has plagued her since childhood. The product of preimplantation genetic diagnosis, Anna was conceived as a bone marrow match for Kate—a life and a role that she has never challenged ... until now. Like most teenagers, Anna is beginning to question who she truly is. But unlike most teenagers, she has always been defined in terms of her sister—and so Anna makes a decision that for most would be unthinkable, a decision that will tear her family apart and have perhaps fatal consequences for the sister she loves.

My Sister's Keeper examines what it means to be a good parent, a good sister, a good person. Is it morally correct to do whatever it takes to save a child's life, even if that means infringing upon the rights of another? Is it worth trying to discover who you really are if that quest makes you like yourself less? Should you follow your own heart or let others lead you? Once again, in My Sister's Keeper, Jodi Picoult tackles a controversial real-life subject with grace, wisdom, and sensitivity.]]> 423 Jodi Picoult 0743454537 Asmaa 5 4.10 2004

]]> 2134009 A smart, comic page-turner about a Silicon Valley family in free fall over the course of one eventful summer.

When Paul Miller’s pharmaceutical company goes public, making his family IPO millionaires, his wife, Janice, is sure this is the windfall she’s been waiting years for �� until she learns, via messengered letter, that her husband is divorcing her (for her tennis partner!) and cutting her out of the new fortune.

Meanwhile, four hundred miles south in Los Angeles, the Millers�� older daughter, Margaret, has been dumped by her newly famous actor boyfriend and left in the lurch by an investor who promised to revive her fledgling post-feminist magazine, Snatch. Sliding toward bankruptcy and dogged by creditors, she flees for home where her younger sister Lizzie, 14, is struggling with problems of her own. Formerly chubby, Lizzie has been enjoying her newfound popularity until some bathroom graffiti alerts her to the fact that she’s become the school slut.

The three Miller women retreat behind the walls of their Georgian colonial to wage battle with divorce lawyers, debt collectors, drug-dealing pool boys, mean girls, country club ladies, evangelical neighbors, their own demons, and each other, and in the process they become achingly sympathetic characters we can’t help but root for, even as the world they live in epitomizes everything wrong with the American Dream. Exhilarating, addictive, and superbly accomplished, All We Ever Wanted Was Everything crackles with energy and intelligence and marks the debut of a knowing and very funny novelist, wise beyond her years.]]> 401 Janelle Brown 0385524013 Asmaa 4 3.26 2008
