Sinopsis

Becky Sharp leaves school by throwing the dictionary out of the carriage window and climbs, by charm and calculation, through a society that deserves her. Amelia Sedley is loyal past all sense. Thackeray called it a novel without a hero and meant it: the gaze is colder than Dickens's and considerably more adult. The Gilded Library volume carries full-page plates — ballrooms, the Waterloo encampment, society drawing rooms — and takes its decoration from the domino mask, the fan, the playing cards and the puppet booth of Thackeray's own frontispiece.

    The Necronomicon - Complete edition

    The mysterious and forbidden Necronomicon is a cursed writing of arcane knowledge, forbidden magic and knowledge of dangerous things whose reading provokes madness and death itself. In addition, the book itself has a record of forgotten phrases and incantations that allow contact with beings of inconceivable power, but at the same time it entails an unimaginably horrifying danger to mention them. In short, it is the blasphemy of life. 
     
     It seemed to be a rumor, but one of the few surviving editions was discovered in 1845 in the desert near Babylon in the caves of Larbit where a remnant of King Ashurbanipal's descendants had been buried. 
     
    The Necronomicon was written in the ancient city of Damascus by the Arab poet Abdul Al-Hazred according to dates between 730 AD, and it is rumored that he died dismembered and his bones broken into a thousand pieces by an unknown being. 
     Like all those who came in contact with the blasphemies and curses of this noxious book suffered similar fates; mysterious deaths of a cruel and indescribable horror. 
     
    If you are of a curious spirit, I advise you for your own sake; that you dare not read this book, for if you should do so, only one thing I can tell you as a consolation and assurance: "That death you will never meet it before the horror that awaits you..."

    One of Faulkner’s most controversial novels!      A lesser-known but compelling novel from the author of Absalom, Absalom! and The Sound and the Fury.      Have you ever wondered what speaks to the tortured soul of an artist? What would it be like to be stuck on a yacht with only the musings of the world and a group of artists as your company?      In the heat of the late Louisiana summer, Faulkner brings us a story of artistry that examines the thoughts and actions of Southern bohemians who have nothing to interrupt them but the hum and fire of the mosquitoes that surround them. “Faulkner’s message is clear: We are the mosquitoes, and the mosquitoes are us.”—Rein Fartel, “Twentieth Century Millennial: Revisiting Faulkner’s Mosquitoes.”       With a foreword by Carl Rollyson, a renowned biographer of Faulkner and other eminent authors, this fine new edition works to highlight the “Louisiana Faulkner,” the Faulkner before fame, and his thoughts on the lives of Southern artists.

    The Merry Wives of Windsor

    William Shakespeare

    First published in 1602 by William Shakespeare, The Merry Wives of Windsor features the popular figure Sir John Falstaff, who first appeared in Henry IV, Part 1 and Part 2. Some speculate that Merry Wives was written at the behest of Queen Elizabeth I, who wanted to see Falstaff in love; and that Shakespeare was forced to rush its creation as a result, and so it remains one of Shakespeare's lesser-regarded plays.
    The play revolves around two intertwined plots: the adventures of the rogue Falstaff who plans to seduce several local wives, and the story of young Anne Page who is being wooed by prominent citizens while she has her sights set on young Fenton. The wives come together to teach Falstaff a lesson, and in the end love triumphs.
    The Merry Wives of Windsor is believed to have been first performed in 1597 and was subsequently published in quarto in 1602, in a second quarto in 1619, and then in the 1623 First Folio. Despite holding a lesser place in Shakespeare's canon, it was one of the first Shakespearean plays to be performed in 1660, after the reinstatement of Charles II and theatre once again was permitted to be performed in London.
