Beschreibung

Before the ballet, there was the book—and it's more magical and mysterious than you ever imagined.

The Nutcracker and the Mouse King by E. T. A. Hoffmann is the enchanting tale of young Marie Stahlbaum, who receives a wooden nutcracker as a Christmas gift—only to discover it holds the key to a fantastical world of toy soldiers, clockwork wonders, and an epic battle against the wicked Mouse King.

Far darker and richer than its ballet adaptation, Hoffmann's original 1816 tale blends whimsy with gothic wonder, capturing both the innocence of childhood and the surreal fears that live in the imagination.

This illustrated and annotated edition includes historical context, restored narrative details, and charming period artwork—ideal for readers of all ages during the holiday season or any time of year.

"The original Nutcracker is a dreamlike fairytale with shadows and sparkles." — The New York Review of Books
"A masterpiece of romantic fantasy—strange, beautiful, and unforgettable." — The Guardian

    White Fang is a novel by American author Jack London and the name of the book's eponymous character, a wild wolfdog. First serialized in Outing magazine between May and October 1906, it was published in book form in October 1906. The story details White Fang's journey to domestication in Yukon Territory and the Northwest Territories during the 1890s Klondike Gold Rush. It is a companion novel (and a thematic mirror) to London's best-known work, The Call of the Wild (1903), which is about a kidnapped, domesticated dog embracing his wild ancestry to survive and thrive in the wild. 
    Much of White Fang is written from the viewpoint of the titular canine character, enabling London to explore how animals view their world and how they view humans. White Fang examines the violent world of wild animals and the equally violent world of humans. The book also explores complex themes including morality and redemption.

    Booker Taliaferro Washington (April 5, 1856 - November 14, 1915) was an American educator, author, orator, and adviser to several presidents of the United States. Between 1890 and 1915, Washington was the dominant leader in the African American community and of the contemporary black elite. Washington was from the last generation of black American leaders born into slavery and became the leading voice of the former slaves and their descendants. They were newly oppressed in the South by disenfranchisement and the Jim Crow discriminatory laws enacted in the post-Reconstruction Southern states in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
    ON INFLUENCING BY EXAMPLE: A few evenings ago, while in Cincinnati, I was very pleasantly surprised after speaking at a large meeting to be invited by a company of young coloured men to attend for a few minutes a reception at their club room.

    All Quiet on the Western Front" is one of the most significant literary works of the 20th century. Its characters, like the author himself, belong to the "lost generation" - a generation whose youth was lost in the trenches of World War I. 
    Eighteen and nineteen-year-olds arrive at the front almost directly from school, encouraged by their teachers to fulfill their duty to the fatherland. Yet they question what this duty means, aware they're shooting at young enemies just like themselves, who similarly long for home and peace and question the war's purpose. 
    The cruelty of the war machine, in which they are mere cogs, first strips them of their humanity and eventually their lives - making them quite literally a "lost generation."
