Човек, толкова измъчен, колкото и обичан, Оскар Уайлд (1854 - 1900) преодолява живота на необикновени възходи и падения, за да стане световноизвестен драматург, писател и поет. Запомнен най-вече с романа Портретът на Дориан Грей, пиесата Значението да бъдеш сериозен и широка гама изключително цитирани епиграми, той е един от най-влиятелните писатели от Викторианската епоха. Работата на Оскар Уайлд е изпълнена с прозренията на човек, който притежава дълбоко разбиране както за положителните страни, така и за опасностите на обществото. Критикуван за това, което се възприема като женствена природа и потиснат от до голяма ... |

Complete and unabridged. A pocket sized book - 10 x 15.5 cm. ... The four great comedies of Oscar Wilde, "Lady Windermere's Fan", "A Woman of No Importance", "An Ideal Husband" and "The Importance of Being Earnest", were all written at the height of the controversial Irish author's powers in his last, doomed decade, the 1890s. They remain among the most-loved, and most-quoted, of all drama in the English language. Along with Salome, his darkly decadent dramatization of the Bible story, these immortal plays continue to pack theatres, and have been adapted for every kind of ... |

Complete and unabridged. A pocket sized book - 10 x 15.5 cm. ... "The Call of the Wild" tells the story of Buck, a domestic dog who is kidnapped from his home in California and forced to pull sleds in the Arctic wasteland. White Fang, by contrast, is the tale of a crossbreed who is three-quarters wolf and a quarter dog, and who must endure considerable suffering in the wilderness before being tamed by an American and taken to live in California. Extraordinary both for the vividness of their descriptions and the success with which they imagine life from a non-human perspective, Jack London's classics of ... |

The Call of the Wild (1903) and White Fang (1906) are world famous animal stories. Set in Alaska during the Klondike Gold Rush of the late 1890s, The Call of the Wild is about Buck, the magnificent cross-bred offspring of a St Bernard and a Scottish Collie. Stolen from his pampered life on a Californian estate and shipped to the Klondike to work as a sledge dog, he triumphs over his circumstances and becomes the leader of a wolf pack. The story records the "decivilisation" of Buck as he answers 'the call of the wild', an inherent memory of primeval origins to which he instinctively responds. In contrast, ... |

Morphology of Classical Egypt. ... The main corpus of the study represents a source study of pHermitage 1115, containing the text, which describes the encounter and the discourse of an Egyptian man with a deity. The text is considered in a dialogue with the texts of the epoch, i.e. the principle is followed that in order to understand an ancient text, one has to study all the other ones that are accessible. The uniqueness of the presented papyrus lies in the fact that it contains the most ancient evidence of prayer and of sacrifice, committed without the mediation of priests and is the most ancient story, describing a ... |
