Sinopse

In "Tarzan and the City of Gold," Edgar Rice Burroughs crafts an exhilarating adventure that plunges deep into the heart of an undiscovered civilization, showcasing his signature blend of wild imagination and vivid storytelling. This novel reflects the early 20th-century fascination with lost cities and primal societies, employing a narrative style that is both descriptive and action-oriented, inviting readers to oscillate between tightly wound suspense and the vast, untamed African landscape. Burroughs skillfully intertwines themes of civilization versus savagery, illuminating Tarzan's dual identity as both man and beast, as he navigates the complexities of his heritage while uncovering the secrets of the mythical city of gold. Burroughs, an American writer renowned for his creation of the iconic character of Tarzan, draws upon his own experiences and interests in adventure, exploration, and anthropology. His varied career, which included work as a soldier, rancher, and gold prospector, infused his narratives with authenticity and a spirited sense of daring that resonates throughout his work. The context of the early 20th century, marked by a burgeoning interest in imperialism and exoticism, profoundly shaped his literary trajectory and thematic focus in the Tarzan series. I highly recommend "Tarzan and the City of Gold" to both aficionados of adventure literature and casual readers alike. Burroughs's masterful storytelling and intricate world-building not only entertain but also provoke reflection on the nature of culture, identity, and the human experience. This novel is an essential read for anyone seeking to understand the enduring legacy of Tarzan and the complexities of the human condition.

    One of the masterpieces of classical literature, the "Histories" describes how a small and quarrelsome band of Greek city states united to repel the might of the Persian empire. But while this epic struggle forms the core of his work, Herodotus' natural curiosity frequently gives rise to colorful digressions - a description of the natural wonders of Egypt; an account of European lake-dwellers; and far-fetched accounts of dog-headed men and gold-digging ants. With its kaleidoscopic blend of fact and legend, the "Histories" offers a compelling Greek view of the world of the fifth century BC.
    BOOK 5: TERPSICHORE: The Persians left behind by King Darius in Europe, who had Megabazus for their general, reduced, before any other Hellespontine state, the people of Perinthus, who had no mind to become subjects of the king.

    The Landlady (Russian: Хозяйка, Khozayka) is a novella by Russian author Fyodor Dostoevsky, written in 1847. Set in Saint Petersburg, it tells of an abstracted young man, Vasily Mikhailovich Ordynov, and his obsessive love for Katerina, the wife of a dismal husband whom Ordynov perceives as a malignant fortune-teller or mystic. The story has echoes of Russian folklore and may contain autobiographical references. In its time The Landlady had a mixed reception, more recently being seen as perhaps unique in Dostoevsky's oeuvre. The first part of the novella was published in October 1847 in Notes of the Fatherland, the second part in November that year.

    Don Quixote has become so entranced by reading romances of chivalry that he determines to become a knight errant and pursue bold adventures, accompanied by his squire, the cunning Sancho Panza. As they roam the world together, the aging Quixote's fancy leads them wildly astray. At the same time the relationship between the two men grows in fascinating subtlety. Often considered to be the first modern novel, Don Quixote is a wonderful burlesque of the popular literature its disordered protagonist is obsessed with.
