Miss Ludington's Sister
ISBN: 9781514306130 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 82 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The happiness of some lives is distributed pretty evenly over the whole stretch from the cradle to the grave, while that of others comes all at once, glorifying some particular epoch and leaving the rest in shadow. During one, five, or ten blithe years, as the case may be, all the springs of life send up sweet waters; joy is in the very air we breathe; happiness seems our native element. During this period we know what is the zest of living, as compared with the mere endurance of existence, which is, perhaps, the most we have attained to before or since. With men this culminating epoch comes...

Pouting lips and delicate brows fretted in pretty importunity over the troubled eyes enforced the pleading tones, and yet the young man to whom they were addressed found strength to reply: - "I 'm afraid I can't get rid of it.

Ein Rückblick aus dem Jahre 2000 auf 1887
ISBN: 9788027362868 / Niemiecki / Miękka / 148 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Das Buch handelt von Julian West, einem jungen Amerikaner, der gegen Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts während einer Behandlung mit animalischem Magnetismus, einer Art Hypnose, in einen tiefen Schlaf fällt, der über hundert Jahre lang anhält. Als er aufwacht, findet er sich zwar noch an derselben Stelle, aber die Welt um ihn herum hat sich verändert. Der Erfolg dieses Romans ist vermutlich der praktischen Behandlung der ökonomischen Probleme Amerikas des ausgehenden 19. Jahrhunderts zuzuschreiben. Natürlich verfehlte die eingeflochtene Romanze, in der die Zukunftsbeschreibung eingebettet ist,...
