To vindicate the memory of the Athenian people, without disguising the errors of Athenian institutions;-and, in narrating alike the triumphs and the reverses-the grandeur and the decay-of the most eminent of ancient states, to record the causes of her imperishable influence on mankind, not alone in political change or the fortunes of fluctuating war, but in the arts, the letters, and the social habits, which are equal elements in the history of a people;-this is the object that I set before me;-not unreconciled to the toil of years, if, serving to divest of some party errors, and to...

The Pilgrims of the Rhine
ISBN: 9781517265199 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 132 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. IN one of those green woods which belong so peculiarly to our island (for the Continent has its forests, but England its woods) there lived, a short time ago, a charming little fairy called Nymphalin. I believe she is descended from a younger branch of the house of Mab; but perhaps that may only be a genealogical fable, for your fairies are very susceptible to the pride of ancestry, and it is impossible to deny that they fall somewhat reluctantly into the liberal opinions so much in vogue at the present day.

Godolphin, Complete
ISBN: 9781517266554 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 108 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. "Is the night calm, Constance?" "Beautiful the moon is up." "Open the shutters wider, there. It is a beautiful night. How beautiful Come hither, my child." The rich moonlight that now shone through the windows streamed on little that it could invest with poetical attraction. The room was small, though not squalid in its character and appliances. The bed-curtains, of a dull chintz, were drawn back, and showed the form of a man, past middle age, propped by pillows, and bearing on his countenance the marks of approaching death. But what a countenance it still was The broad, pale, lofty brow;...

Ernest Maltravers, Complete
ISBN: 9781517267049 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 142 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. SOME four miles distant from one of our northern manufacturing towns, in the year 18-, was a wide and desolate common; a more dreary spot it is impossible to conceive-the herbage grew up in sickly patches from the midst of a black and stony soil. Not a tree was to be seen in the whole of the comfortless expanse. Nature herself had seemed to desert the solitude, as if scared by the ceaseless din of the neighbouring forges; and even Art, which presses all things into service, had disdained to cull use or beauty from these unpromising demesnes.

The Last Days of Pompeii
ISBN: 9781517264390 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 156 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. 'HO, Diomed, well met Do you sup with Glaucus to-night?' said a young man of small stature, who wore his tunic in those loose and effeminate folds which proved him to be a gentleman and a coxcomb. 'Alas, no dear Clodius; he has not invited me, ' replied Diomed, a man of portly frame and of middle age. 'By Pollux, a scurvy trick for they say his suppers are the best in Pompeii'. 'Pretty well-though there is never enough of wine for me. It is not the old Greek blood that flows in his veins, for he pretends that wine makes him dull the next morning.'

Rienzi, the Last of the Roman Tribunes
ISBN: 9781517265007 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 172 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The celebrated name which forms the title to this work will sufficiently apprise the reader that it is in the earlier half of the fourteenth century that my story opens. It was on a summer evening that two youths might be seen walking beside the banks of the Tiber, not far from that part of its winding course which sweeps by the base of Mount Aventine. The path they had selected was remote and tranquil. It was only at a distance that were seen the scattered and squalid houses that bordered the river, from amidst which rose, dark and frequent, the high roof and enormous towers which marked the...

The Parisians, Complete
ISBN: 9781517265144 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 230 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. It was a bright day in the early spring of 1869. All Paris seemed to have turned out to enjoy itself. The Tuileries, the Champs Elysees, the Bois de Boulogne, swarmed with idlers. A stranger might have wondered where Toil was at work, and in what nook Poverty lurked concealed. A millionaire from the London Exchange, as he looked round on the magasins, the equipages, the dresses of the women; as he inquired the prices in the shops and the rent of apartments, -might have asked himself, in envious wonder, How on earth do those gay Parisians live? What is their fortune? Where does it come from

The Caxtons: A Family Picture, Complete
ISBN: 9781517266523 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 188 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. "Sir-sir, it is a boy " "A boy," said my father, looking up from his book, and evidently much puzzled: "what is a boy?" Now my father did not mean by that interrogatory to challenge philosophical inquiry, nor to demand of the honest but unenlightened woman who had just rushed into his study, a solution of that mystery, physiological and psychological, which has puzzled so many curious sages, and lies still involved in the question, "What is man?" For as we need not look further than Dr. Johnson's Dictionary to know that a boy is "a male child,"-i.e., the male young of man, -so he who would go...

Kenelm Chillingly, Complete
ISBN: 9781517266615 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 188 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. SIR PETER CHILLINGLY, of Exmundham, Baronet, F.R.S. and F.A.S., was the representative of an ancient family, and a landed proprietor of some importance. He had married young; not from any ardent inclination for the connubial state, but in compliance with the request of his parents. They took the pains to select his bride; and if they might have chosen better, they might have chosen worse, which is more than can be said for many men who choose wives for themselves. Miss Caroline Brotherton was in all respects a suitable connection. She had a pretty fortune, which was of much use in buying a...

Who art thou, fair one, who usurp'st the place Of Blanch, the lady of the matchless grace?-LAMB. IT was towards the evening of a day in early April that two ladies were seated by the open windows of a cottage in Devonshire. The lawn before them was gay with evergreens, relieved by the first few flowers and fresh turf of the reviving spring; and at a distance, through an opening amongst the trees, the sea, blue and tranquil, bounded the view, and contrasted the more confined and home-like features of the scene. It was a spot remote, sequestered, shut out from the business and pleasures of the...

Calderon the Courtier, a Tale
ISBN: 9781517265212 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 60 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The Tragi-Comedy of Court Intrigue, which had ever found its principal theatre in Spain since the accession of the House of Austria to the throne, was represented with singular complication of incident and brilliancy of performance during the reign of Philip the Third. That monarch, weak, indolent, and superstitious, left the reins of government in the hands of the Duke of Lerma. The Duke of Lerma, in his turn, mild, easy, ostentatious, and shamefully corrupt, resigned the authority he had thus received to Roderigo Calderon, an able and resolute upstart, whom nature and fortune seemed equally...

Falkland, Complete
ISBN: 9781517266578 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 56 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. You are mistaken, my dear Monkton Your description of the gaiety of "the season" gives me no emotion. You speak of pleasure; I remember no labour so wearisome; you enlarge upon its changes; no sameness appears to me so monotonous. Keep, then, your pity for those who require it. From the height of my philosophy I compassionate you. No one is so vain as a recluse; and your jests at my hermitship and hermitage cannot penetrate the folds of a self-conceit, which does not envy you in your suppers at D-- House, nor even in your waltzes with Eleanor.

What Will He Do with It?, Complete
ISBN: 9781517267070 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. It was a summer fair in one of the prettiest villages in Surrey. The main street was lined with booths, abounding in toys, gleaming crockery, gay ribbons, and gilded ginger bread. Farther on, where the street widened into the ample village-green, rose the more pretending fabrics which lodged the attractive forms of the Mermaid, the Norfolk Giant; the Pig-faced Lady, the Spotted Boy, and the Calf with Two Heads; while high over even these edifices, and occupying the most conspicuous vantage-ground, a lofty stage promised to rural playgoers the "Grand Melodramatic Performance of The Remorseless...

Say, ye oppressed by some fantastic woes, Some jarring nerve that baffles your repose, Who press the downy couch while slaves advance With timid eye to read the distant glance, Who with sad prayers the weary doctor tease To name the nameless, ever-new disease, Who with mock patience dire complaints endure, Which real pain and that alone can cure, How would you bear in real pain to lie Despised, neglected, left alone to die? How would you bear to draw your latest breath Where all that's wretched paves the way to death?-Crabbe.

Pausanias, the Spartan; The Haunted and the Haunters
ISBN: 9781517266622 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 72 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. On one of the quays which bordered the unrivalled harbour of Byzantium, more than twenty-three centuries before the date at which this narrative is begun, stood two Athenians. In the waters of the haven rode the vessels of the Grecian Fleet. So deep was the basin, in which the tides are scarcely felt, that the prows of some of the ships touched the quays, and the setting sun glittered upon the smooth and waxen surfaces of the prows rich with diversified colours and wrought gilding.

Zanoni
ISBN: 9781517264420 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 150 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. One of the peculiarities of Bulwer was his passion for occult studies. They had a charm for him early in life, and he pursued them with the earnestness which characterised his pursuit of other studies. He became absorbed in wizard lore; he equipped himself with magical implements, -with rods for transmitting influence, and crystal balls in which to discern coming scenes and persons; and communed with spiritualists and mediums. The fruit of these mystic studies is seen in "Zanoni" and "A strange Story," romances which were a labour of love to the author, and into which he threw all the power...
