İnsancıklar
€6,90Dostoyevski’nin henüz yirmi dört yaşında kaleme aldığı kitap, Rus edebiyatının ilk toplumsal romanı. Sınıf çatışması, edebiyat sevgisi, hayata tutunma çabasının iki dostun mektuplarıyla anlatıldığı kitap büyük yazarın okuyucuya merhabası: “Aynı eski, bildik eşyalara bakındım durdum. Aynı gri, kasvetli eşyalara… Eskisinden farklı görünmüyorlardı. Peki o mürekkep lekeleri, masa, aynı sandalyeler. Zaten önceden gördüklerim miydi gerçekten? Evet, aynılardı, tamamen aynılardı hem de. Peki, o zaman ben neden durduk yere yeniden doğmuş gibi davranmıştım ki? O ruh hâlinin sebebi neydi? Benim için birden güneş doğmuş, gökyüzünü maviye çevirmişti de o yüzden. Neden öyle olmuştu? Neden bazen, gerçek olmasa da, tatlı kokular bahçeye dolmuş gibi oluyor? Benim aptalca hayal gücümün ürünü olsa gerek hepsi. Bazen insan duygusallığa sürüklenip hayatımın neye benzediğini unutuyor. Hatta heyecanından gereksiz heveslere kapılıp kendini kandırıyor işte.”

İtiraflarım
€5,90Aşağıya bakmak korkutucu.Eğer aşağıya bakarsam tutunduğum son şerit de elimden kaçacak ve yok olacakmışım gibi hissediyorum. Bakmıyorum, fakat bakmamak daha da kötü çünkü şimdi de son şerit koptuğunda başıma gelecek olanları düşünüyorum. Müthiş bir dehşetle gücümün son damlasını da tükettiğimi hissediyorum, sırtım boşluğa gittikçe daha da çöküyor. Bir saniye sonra düşeceğim. Aniden aklıma bir fikir geliyor: Bu gerçek olamaz. Bu yalnızca bir rüya.

Mrs. Dalloway
€8,90One day in the life of Clarissa Dalloway, a June day in London, punctuated accurately, impersonally, unfeelingly, by the chimes of Big Ben and a fashionable party to end it, is the complete story of Mrs. Woolf’s new novel, yet she contrives to enmesh all the inflections of Mrs. Dalloway’s personality, and many of the implications of modern civilization, in the account of those twenty-four hours. Mrs. Dalloway in her own home is ”the perfect hostess,” even to her servants, to her daughter, her husband and her rejected suitor of long ago, who cannot free his mind of her. It is almost a perfect being that Mrs. Dalloway enjoys, but there is a resentfulness in her, some paucity of spiritual graces, or rather some positive hideousness. -NY Times

Notes from the Underground
€6,90Dostoevsky’s most revolutionary novel, Notes from the Underground marks the dividing line between nineteenth- and twentieth-century fiction, and between the visions of self each century embodied. One of the most remarkable characters in literature, the unnamed narrator is a former official who has defiantly withdrawn into an underground existence. In full retreat from society, he scrawls a passionate, obsessive, self-contradictory narrative that serves as a devastating attack on social utopianism and an assertion of man’s essentially irrational nature.

The Sonnets
€5,90Modern readers associate the sonnet form with romantic love and with good reason: the first sonnets written in thirteenth- and fourteenth-century Italy celebrated the poets’ feelings for their beloveds and their patrons. These sonnets were addressed to stylized, lionized women and dedicated to wealthy noblemen, who supported poets with money and other gifts, usually in return for lofty praise in print. Shakespeare dedicated his sonnets to “Mr. W. H.,” and the identity of this man remains unknown. -
The Time Machine
