    <book_description><![CDATA[Pragmatic gambler Phileas Fogg has made a gentlemanly wager to the members of his exclusive club: that he can circle the world in just eighty days, right down to the minute. Fetching his newly appointed French valet, Fogg embarks on a fabulous journey across land and sea—by steamer, rail, and elephant—to win the bet of a lifetime.<br /> <br />Inspired by Jules Verne’s own sea travels and his fascination with circumnavigating the globe, the avid dreamer’s picaresque voyage inspired generations of adventurers who were eager to best Verne’s challenge—from nineteenth-century journalist Nellie Bly to Monty Python’s Michael Palin.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[<b>The only English translation authorized by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn </b><br /><br />First published in the Soviet journal <i>Novy Mir</i> in 1962, <i>One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich</i> stands as a classic of contemporary literature. The story of labor-camp inmate Ivan Denisovich Shukhov, it graphically describes his struggle to maintain his dignity in the face of communist oppression. An unforgettable portrait of the entire world of Stalin's forced work camps, <i>One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich</i> is one of the most extraordinary literary documents to have emerged from the Soviet Union and confirms Solzhenitsyn's stature as "a literary genius whose talent matches that of Dosotevsky, Turgenev, Tolstoy"--Harrison Salisbury<br /><br />This unexpurgated 1991 translation by H. T. Willetts is the only authorized edition available, and fully captures the power and beauty of the original Russian.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[في مُجتمع قريته المُنغلق، يبحث ميلاد الأسطى عن تعريف الرجولة المثالي حسبما يراها مجتمعه، يفشل طوال مسار حياته في أن يكون رجلاً بعد محاولات عديدة، فيقرر أن يكون نفسه وأن ينسى هذا التعريف بعد أن يتعرف على حبيبته وزوجته المستقبلية زينب، يعيش أيامه داخل البيت يضطلع بأدوار خص المجتمع المرأة بها، فيما تعمل حبيبته على إعالة البيت، وهكذا يقلبان الأدوار الاجتماعية.<br /><br />يظل ميلاد مُغيباً على حقيقة سخرية مجتمعه منه حتى يُفشي له ابن عمه بما يحدث حوله.<br />تتناول الرواية تعريفات مجتمع القرية المختلفة للرجولة، لكنها، تحتفظ بتعريف واحد للرجل الضد أو "اللارجل" الذي يكون ميلاد الأسطى رمزاً له.<br /><br />تُعيد هذه الرواية مُساءلة التصورات الجاهزة لمفهوم "الجندر" وتُدين القوالب النمطية الجاهزة التي تحصر وظائف كل من المرأة والرجل في أطر مُحددة إذا تخطاها أحدهما تخطى الحد الذي سُطر له. إنها رواية الانتصار للفرد في وجه الأفكار الجماعية القاتلة، ورواية الانتصار للتجربة الإنسانية إزاء كل التوصيفات الثابتة.<br /><br /><br />- الناشر]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[ليست "أولاد حارتنا" مجرد رواية يطرح فيها نجيب محفوظ أسئلته حول العدل والحرية، إنها حكايتنا مع السلطة، كل سلطة، حكاية مجتمعنا نفسه وشوقه للتفكير خارج الصناديق الضيقة.<br /><br />بدت رواية "أولاد حارتنا" على مدى أكثر من نصف قرن كنزًا سياسياً، تتصارع عليه كل القوى السياسية، والدينية وتحاول توظيفه لمصلحتها الخاصة، ورمزًا لمعارك ثقافية وسياسية واجتماعية، تتخذ كل فترة شكلاً جديدًا، وشملت ساسة ورجال دين، وأباء، وقتلة، ومؤسسات، وتبلغ ذروتها بمحاولة اغتيال على يد شاب لم يقرأ حرفا باستثناء فتاوى شيوخه.<br /><br /> <br />عبر رحلة بحث فى مئات الوثائق والدوريات، وبلغة تمزج بين السرد بتقنيات السينما التسجيلية، يلتقط محمد شعير دراما اللحظة المتوترة التى أثارتها رواية "أولاد حارتنا" ليتجاوز كونها أزمة فى حياة صاحبها، بل وسيلة لقراءة آليات وتفكير المجتمع، كاشفة لطبقات أعمق منه، وملتمسة بعضا من دور جذور المواجهة بين حرية الفكر واستبداد الرجعية، قراءة لا تنشغل بالإجابة أكثر من طرح الأسئلة ومن ثم تبدو مرآة لواقعنا الراهن.<br /><br />هى رواية الرواية، رحلة البحث عن التفاصيل المنسية، حول البشر، والزمن، والتحولات، ودوائر الصراع المكتوم داخل حارتنا المأزومة.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[<b>Winner of the Man Booker International Prize 2019</b><br /><br /><i>Celestial Bodies</i> is set in the village of al-Awafi in Oman, where we encounter three sisters: Mayya, who marries Abdallah after a heartbreak; Asma, who marries from a sense of duty; and Khawla who rejects all offers while waiting for her beloved, who has emigrated to Canada. These three women and their families witness Oman evolve from a traditional, slave-owning society slowly redefining itself after the colonial era, to the crossroads of its complex present. <br /><br />Elegantly structured and taut, <i>Celestial Bodies</i> is a coiled spring of a novel, telling of Oman’s coming-of-age through the prism of one family’s losses and loves.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[الوضع المضحك لمصري يجلس في القاهرة حانقاً بسبب موقف جيتسكل من تصنيع الأسلحة النووية في إنجلترا لا يخطر ببال فونت. صحيح أن فونت كان قد بدأ بالحنق وبنفس الدرجة على السياسة الداخلية المصرية ولكن ذلك أيضاً كان مضحكاً، مثلما كان يفعل لاكي چيم في إنجلترا خلال أيام ديكنز. كان ذلك مثل محاولة دهن كعكة بالكريمة بينما هي لا تزال في الفرن. فونت يعرف كيف يزين الكعكة ويكسوها ويزودها بأحدث الزخارف، ولكنه لا يعرف كيف يخبز واحدة. لهذا عليه أن ينتظر عبد الناصر ليخبزها له قبل أن يتمكن من إدخال تحسيناته عليها – وهو ليس متأكداً تماماً إن كان سيُسمح له بذلك، حتى فيما بعد. أما في الوقت الحالي فهو يجلس ويقيّم كل الكعك المخبوز آملاً أن تطلع الكعكة المصرية أو العربية بالشكل الصحيح.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[رؤية مؤرخ أوربى لحقبة هامة من تاريخ مصر فى مختلف الزوايا الاجتماعية والسياسية من خلال مصادر قلما تتاح لمؤرخ واحد، فإلى جانب المصادر والمراجع العربية، أتيح له أيضا الإطلاع على المصادر البريطانية والفرنسية والألمانية، والنمساوية. وتكمن أهمية الكتاب فى المنهج الذى أتبعه المؤلف فى معالجته ، فهو يعالج الأحداث التى مهدت للثورة المصرية عام 1881-1882م من بداية الإحساس بوطأة التدخل الأجنبى فى شئون البلاد عام 1878م محللاً الواقع الاجتماعى فى مصر عندئذ. وبذل المؤلف جهودًا فى تحديد أسباب فشل الحركة السياسية ووقوع البلاد تحت الاحتلال البريطانى من الزاوية التى نظر منها إلى أحداث الحقبة باعتبارها أزمة اجتماعية سياسية .]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[This book is meant to be a companion to "Heretics," and to put the positive side in addition to the negative. Many critics complained of the book because it merely criticised current philosophies without offering any alternative philosophy. This book is an attempt to answer the challenge. It is the purpose of the writer to attempt an explanation, not of whether the Christian Faith can be believed, but of how he personally has come to believe it. The book is therefore arranged upon the positive principle of a riddle and its answer. It deals first with all the writer's own solitary and sincere speculations and then with the startling style in which they were all suddenly satisfied by the Christian Theology. The writer regards it as amounting to a convincing creed. But if it is not that it is at least a repeated and surprising coincidence.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[G. K. Chesterton's surreal masterpiece is a psychological thriller that centers on seven anarchists in turn-of-the-century London who call themselves by the names of the days of the week. Chesterton explores the meanings of their disguised identities in what is a fascinating mystery and, ultimately, a spellbinding allegory.<br /><br />As Jonathan Lethem remarks in his Introduction, The real characters are the ideas. Chesterton's nutty agenda is really quite simple: to expose moral relativism and parlor nihilism for the devils he believes them to be. This wouldn't be interesting at all, though, if he didn't also show such passion for giving the devil his due. He animates the forces of chaos and anarchy with every ounce of imaginative verve and rhetorical force in his body.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Das Stück ist die Geschichte des Bürgers Gottlieb Biedermann, der die Brandstifter in sein Haus einlädt, um von ihnen verschont zu werden. Es entlarvt präzise eines Geisteshaltung, die der Technik des Totalitären zum Erfolg verhilft. Bidermann und die Brandstifter - eine politische Parabel, die ihre kritische Kraft nicht aus der Entlarvung der Lüge bezieht, sondern aus der Inszenierung der biedermännischen Wehrlosigkeit gegenüber Verbrechern, die von Anfang an sagen, was sie wirklich wollen.<br /><br />Das »Lehrstück ohne Lehre« wurde am 29. März 1958 am Schauspielhaus Zürich uraufgeführt. Die deutsche Erstaufführung mit der Uraufführung des Nachspiels war am 28. September 1958 an den Städtischen Bühnen Frankfurt am Main. Biedermann und die Brandstifter gehört seit Jahren nicht nur zum Theaterrepertoire, sondern auch zum Lekturekanon im Deutschunterricht.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[كانت آثار رياح الخماسين لا تزال واضحة عند الأفق وتحجب قرص الشمس خلفها. غطت العاصفة قريتنا لليوم الثانى على التوالى بالرمال. كل شئ بدا مهزوما.. فانيا.. مقبورا.. كان جوا أسطوريا يتوافق مع مشاعرى ويليق بيوم الوداع. ولكن لا شئ ولا أحد كان يشعر بالخوف الغاضب الذى تملكنى وأنا أبدأ أول خطوات طريقى إلى المجهول. <br /><br />سارت السيارة ببطء وراحت تبعدنى تدريجيا عن مسقط رأسى ومقبرة أحزانى. مررت على حقل الموز الذى كنت أزوره أيام مراهقتى. وأتخطى فيه حدود المسموح. مررت على النيل الذى بدا هادئا.. رغم شدة الرياح. نظرت إلى النهر الصامت وقرأت على صفحته قصته التى هى قصتى: قصة ملك لا يملك ومعبود لا يعبد.. قصة أسد مخصى محبوس خلف سد عال, فصار بلا طمى ولا فيضان. وبعد قليل استقبلتنا القاهرة بضبابها وسحابتها السوداء. ولكن الزحام القاهرى لم يكن بالحدة المعهودة, وكأن عاصمة بلادى كانت تريد أن تطردنى بأسرع ما يمكن.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[تدور الرواية حول شاب مسيحي مصري يجد نفسه مضطرًا، لكي يتحصل على شهادة خلو موانع تسمح له بالزواج، وتحت إلحاح من التعقيدات البيروقراطية للدولة، إلى المثول أمام القس في الكنيسة في جلسات اعتراف منتظمة ليبت في أمره.<br /><br />وبدافع غامض، ينطلق أمام القس في حكي سيرة حياته وحياة أسرته، بدءًا من "جعفر" جده لأمه في الزمن البعيد، وحتى الآن، ومراوغًا ضيق القس ونفاد صبره.<br /><br /> يحفر البطل - عبر نسيج متشابك من الحكايات - في التاريخ الاجتماعي والسياسي المصري المرتبط بتاريخه وتاريخ أسرته، ليقدم صورة لحياة الجماعة المسيحية، ومعاناتها أمام بيروقراطية المؤسسة والمجتمع المُعادي وتعقيدات السياسة. حكايات تترك أبطالها أكثر حيرة مما كانوا. حيرة لا تترك لهم سوى جملة ختامية، كأنها توقيعهم النهائي على غرابة الحياة وصعوبة فهمها، هي: "ما أعجب طرقك يا رب!".]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[تعدّ رواية 'مالك الحزين' أحد أشهر وأهم الروايات العربية المعاصرة، ومؤلفها هو إبراهيم أصلان أحد أهم الأدباء المصريين المعاصرين... كتب إبراهيم اصلان هذه الرواية في الفترة من ديسمبر 1972 وحتى أبريل 1981 اي في حوالي ثمانية أعوام ونصف تقريباً. تدور أحداث الرواية في حي امبابة في القاهرة تحديداً في منطقة الكيت كات، حول عالم مغترب يتغير أبطاله ويعاني كل منهم من همّه واغترابه الخاص، فالقاهرة المدينة المتحركة تتقدّم باستمرار نحو الأحياء المهمّشة ساعية لتفكيك بنيتها القديمة وإعادة البناء وفق مقتضيات عمرانها، وسيعمل على التنفيذ تجّار محتالون استفادوا من زمن الانفتاح وراحوا يتلاعبون بمصائر الشعب بالاحتيال أو الإفساد بترويج المخدرات.... تأخذ الرواية اسمها من ذلك الطائر الجميل الذي يعيش على الأنهار طالما هي موجودة، فإن جفّت أو غارت دخل في مرحلة الحزن النبيل وعبّر عن ذلك بتغريدات حزينة كمن أصيب بفاجعة. تحولت الرواية إلى فيلم عام 1991 تحت عنوان 'الكيت كات' وقد لاقى نجاحًا كبيرًا.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Ever since Nelson Mandela dramatically walked out of prison in 1990 after twenty-seven years behind bars, South Africa has been undergoing a radical transformation. In one of the most miraculous events of the century, the oppressive system of apartheid was dismantled. Repressive laws mandating separation of the races were thrown out. The country, which had been carved into a crazy quilt that reserved the most prosperous areas for whites and the most desolate and backward for blacks, was reunited. The dreaded and dangerous security force, which for years had systematically tortured, spied upon, and harassed people of color and their white supporters, was dismantled. But how could this country--one of spectacular beauty and promise--come to terms with its ugly past? How could its people, whom the oppressive white government had pitted against one another, live side by side as friends and neighbors?<br /><br />To begin the healing process, Nelson Mandela created the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, headed by the renowned cleric Archbishop Desmond Tutu. Established in 1995, the commission faced the awesome task of hearing the testimony of the victims of apartheid as well as the oppressors. Amnesty was granted to those who offered a full confession of any crimes associated with apartheid. Since the commission began its work, it has been the central player in a drama that has riveted the country. In this book, Antjie Krog, a South African journalist and poet who has covered the work of the commission, recounts the drama, the horrors, the wrenching personal stories of the victims and their families. Through the testimonies of victims of abuse and violence, from the appearance of Winnie Mandela to former South African president P. W. Botha's extraordinary courthouse press conference, this award-winning poet leads us on an amazing journey.<br /><br /><b>Country of My Skull</b> captures the complexity of the Truth Commission's work. The narrative is often traumatic, vivid, and provocative. Krog's powerful prose lures the reader actively and inventively through a mosaic of insights, impressions, and secret themes. This compelling tale is Antjie Krog's profound literary account of the mending of a country that was in colossal need of change.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[The year is 1797, and the kingdom of Segu is flourishing, fed by the wealth of its noblemen and the power of its warriors. The people of Segu, the Bambara, are guided by their griots and priests; their lives are ruled by the elements. But even their soothsayers can only hint at the changes to come, for the battle of the soul of Africa has begun. From the east comes a new religion, Islam, and from the West, the slave trade. <i>Segu</i> follows the life of Dousika Traore, the king’s most trusted advisor, and his four sons, whose fates embody the forces tearing at the fabric of the nation. There is Tiekoro, who renounces his people’s religion and embraces Islam; Siga, who defends tradition, but becomes a merchant; Naba, who is kidnapped by slave traders; and Malobali, who becomes a mercenary and halfhearted Christian.<br /><br />Based on actual events, <i>Segu</i> transports the reader to a fascinating time in history, capturing the earthy spirituality, religious fervor, and violent nature of a people and a growing nation trying to cope with jihads, national rivalries, racism, amid the vagaries of commerce.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Set in post-apartheid South Africa, J. M. Coetzee’s searing novel tells the story of David Lurie, a twice divorced, 52-year-old professor of communications and Romantic Poetry at Cape Technical University. Lurie believes he has created a comfortable, if somewhat passionless, life for himself. He lives within his financial and emotional means. Though his position at the university has been reduced, he teaches his classes dutifully; and while age has diminished his attractiveness, weekly visits to a prostitute satisfy his sexual needs. He considers himself happy. However, when Lurie seduces one of his students, he sets in motion a chain of events that will shatter his complacency and leave him utterly disgraced.]]></book_description>

    <user_review><![CDATA[The Novel has 2 main events, each one of them can be defined by disgrace. Professor Lurie "the main character" was the offender at the first one and at the second he was the witness. At both events and despite the change of his role he couldn't do a better job to understand the feelings of the victims. <br /><br />The novel takes place in South Africa in the era after the apartheid regime. It reflects the disturbing feelings between the indigenous people of south africa and the white people. It didn't offer any solutions to the problems caused by the history of the apartheid regime but offered alot of questions about freedom, justice, reconciliation and tolerance.<br /><br />A sidenote: I lived in Egypt during the Arabic Spring and after that in Germany during the biggest wave of the refugees who fled to europe. I saw how the old people in both countries react to the change. I can easily say that professor lurie was right may be he is old to learn new lessons. The old people stagnate and lack of the ability to change.]]></user_review>

    <book_description><![CDATA["Als Gregor Samsa eines Morgens aus unruhigen Träumen erwachte, fand er sich in seinem Bett zu einem ungeheueren Ungeziefer verwandelt".<br /><br /> Welch ein Satz! Ich erinnere mich, ihn in den 60er Jahren zum ersten Mal gelesen zu haben. Kafka galt in unserer Clique eine Zeitlang als jemand, den man gelesen haben mußte, um mitreden zu können. Verstanden habe ich damals eigentlich nichts. Oder fast nichts. Nur, daß etwas Ungeheuerliches geschehen war. In diesem Buch und mit mir.<p> Da erwacht also dieser Gregor, ein junger Handlungsreisender, der unter seinem Beruf und der Lieblosigkeit seiner Umwelt leidet, eines Morgens als riesiges Insekt. Zur Arbeit zu gehen, macht in seinem Zustand wenig Sinn. Schon taucht der erboste Prokurist auf und verlangt wütend eine Erklärung für Gregors Fernbleiben. Diese Szene, in der Gregor hinter verschlossener Tür sein Verhalten entschuldigt, seinen Käferkörper zur Tür quält und sich schließlich zu erkennen gibt, ist so haarsträubend kafkaesk, daß spätestens jetzt dieser Begriff jedem einleuchten dürfte. Gregors Familie ist angewidert, läßt den Sohn aber bei sich wohnen, bis schließlich -- nun, Sie werden es erfahren.</p><p> Keine Erklärung, nur dieser Hilfeschrei! Solche Radikalität war neu in der Literatur. Deutungen gab es viele. Gregor, wie Kafka, ein schwacher Mensch, der Tag für Tag mitansehen muß, wie diese Welt mit Schwachen umgeht, droht daran zugrundezugehen und vollzieht <i>Die Verwandlung</i>. Das ist seine "Rettung".</p><p> Im Jahre 1912 geschrieben, wurde <i>Die Verwandlung</i> noch zu Kafkas Lebzeiten veröffentlicht. Ein literarisches Jahrhundertereignis. Wie nachhaltig die Wirkung noch heute ist, läßt sich am Werk solcher Regiegrößen wie David Lynch und Polanski, um nur einige zu nennen, ablesen. <i>--Ravi Unger</i></p>]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[<i>An alternative cover edition for this ISBN can be found <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/25512303-the-sense-of-an-ending" rel="nofollow noopener">here</a></i><br /><br />By an acclaimed writer at the height of his powers, <i>The Sense of an Ending</i> extends a streak of extraordinary books that began with the best-selling <i>Arthur &amp; George</i> and continued with <i>Nothing to Be Frightened Of</i> and, most recently, <i>Pulse.</i> <br /> <br />This intense novel follows a middle-aged man as he contends with a past he has never much thought about - until his closest childhood friends return with a vengeance, one of them from the grave, another maddeningly present. Tony Webster thought he'd left all this behind as he built a life for himself, and by now his marriage and family and career have fallen into an amicable divorce and retirement. But he is then presented with a mysterious legacy that obliges him to reconsider a variety of things he thought he'd understood all along, and to revise his estimation of his own nature and place in the world. <br /><br />A novel so compelling that it begs to be read in a single sitting, with stunning psychological and emotional depth and sophistication, <i>The Sense of an Ending</i> is a brilliant new chapter in Julian Barnes's oeuvre.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Anderson Lake is a company man, AgriGen's Calorie Man in Thailand. Under cover as a factory manager, Anderson combs Bangkok's street markets in search of foodstuffs thought to be extinct, hoping to reap the bounty of history's lost calories. There, he encounters Emiko... <br /><br />Emiko is the Windup Girl, a strange and beautiful creature. One of the New People, Emiko is not human; instead, she is an engineered being, creche-grown and programmed to satisfy the decadent whims of a Kyoto businessman, but now abandoned to the streets of Bangkok. Regarded as soulless beings by some, devils by others, New People are slaves, soldiers, and toys of the rich in a chilling near future in which calorie companies rule the world, the oil age has passed, and the side effects of bio-engineered plagues run rampant across the globe. <br /><br />What Happens when calories become currency? What happens when bio-terrorism becomes a tool for corporate profits, when said bio-terrorism's genetic drift forces mankind to the cusp of post-human evolution? Award-winning author Paolo Bacigalupi delivers one of the most highly acclaimed science fiction novels of the twenty-first century.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[By 2021, the World War has killed millions, driving entire species into extinction and sending mankind off-planet. Those who remain covet any living creature, and for people who can't afford one, companies build incredibly realistic simulacra: horses, birds, cats, sheep. They've even built humans. Immigrants to Mars receive androids so sophisticated they are indistinguishable from true men or women. Fearful of the havoc these artificial humans could wreak, the government bans them from Earth. Driven into hiding, unauthorized androids live among human beings, undetected. Rick Deckard, an officially sanctioned bounty hunter, is commissioned to find rogue androids and "retire" them. But when cornered, androids fight back - with lethal force. The Inspiration for the Film <i>BLADE RUNNER</i>. Originally published in 1968, <i>Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?</i> remains a masterpiece ahead of its time, a prescient rendering of a dark future.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[<b>The exhilarating dystopian novel that inspired George Orwell's 1984 and foreshadowed the worst excesses of Soviet Russia</b><br /><br />Yevgeny Zamyatin's <i>We</i> is a powerfully inventive vision that has influenced writers from George Orwell to Ayn Rand. In a glass-enclosed city of absolute straight lines, ruled over by the all-powerful 'Benefactor', the citizens of the totalitarian society of OneState live out lives devoid of passion and creativity - until D-503, a mathematician who dreams in numbers, makes a discovery: he has an individual soul. Set in the twenty-sixth century AD, <i>We</i> is the classic dystopian novel and was the forerunner of works such as George Orwell's <i>1984</i> and Aldous Huxley's <i>Brave New World</i>. It was suppressed for many years in Russia and remains a resounding cry for individual freedom, yet is also a powerful, exciting and vivid work of science fiction. Clarence Brown's brilliant translation is based on the corrected text of the novel, first published in Russia in 1988 after more than sixty years' suppression.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[<b>Gorgeous. Popular. Perfect.<br /><br />Perfectly wrong.</b><br /><br />Tally has finally become pretty. Now her looks are beyond perfect, her clothes are awesome, her boyfriend is totally hot, and she's completely popular. It's everything she's ever wanted.<br /><br />But beneath all the fun -- the nonstop parties, the high-tech luxury, the total freedom -- is a nagging sense that something's wrong. Something important. Then a message from Tally's ugly past arrives. Reading it, Tally remembers what's wrong with pretty life, and the fun stops cold.<br /><br />Now she has to choose between fighting to forget what she knows and fighting for her life -- because the authorities don't intend to let anyone with this information survive.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Now a major motion picture streaming on Netflix!<br /><br />The first installment of Scott Westerfeld’s New York Times bestselling and award-winning Uglies series—a global phenomenon that started the dystopian trend.<br /><br />Tally is about to turn sixteen, and she can’t wait. In just a few weeks she’ll have the operation that will turn her from a repellent ugly into a stunningly attractive pretty. And as a pretty, she’ll be catapulted into a high-tech paradise where her only job is to have fun.<br /><br />But Tally’s new friend Shay isn’t sure she wants to become a pretty. When Shay runs away, Tally learns about a whole new side of the pretty world—and it isn’t very pretty. The authorities offer Tally a choice: find her friend and turn her in, or never turn pretty at all. Tally’s choice will change her world forever.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[A man-made plague has swept the earth, but a small group survives, along with the green-eyed Crakers – a gentle species bio-engineered to replace humans. Toby, onetime member of the Gods Gardeners and expert in mushrooms and bees, is still in love with street-smart Zeb, who has an interesting past. The Crakers’ reluctant prophet, Snowman-the-Jimmy, is hallucinating; Amanda is in shock from a Painballer attack; and Ivory Bill yearns for the provocative Swift Fox, who is flirting with Zeb. Meanwhile, giant Pigoons and malevolent Painballers threaten to attack. Told with wit, dizzying imagination, and dark humour, Booker Prize-winning Margaret Atwood’s unpredictable, chilling and hilarious MaddAddam takes us further into a challenging dystopian world and holds up a skewed mirror to our own possible future.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[The times and species have been changing at a rapid rate, and the social compact is wearing as thin as environmental stability. Adam One, the kindly leader of the God's Gardeners—a religion devoted to the melding of science and religion, as well as the preservation of all plant and animal life—has long predicted a natural disaster that will alter Earth as we know it. Now it has occurred, obliterating most human life. Two women have survived: Ren, a young trapeze dancer locked inside the high-end sex club Scales and Tails, and Toby, a God's Gardener barricaded inside a luxurious spa where many of the treatments are edible. <br /><br />Have others survived? Ren's bioartist friend Amanda? Zeb, her eco-fighter stepfather? Her onetime lover, Jimmy? Or the murderous Painballers, survivors of the mutual-elimination Painball prison? Not to mention the shadowy, corrupt policing force of the ruling powers... <br /><br />Meanwhile, gene-spliced life forms are proliferating: the lion/lamb blends, the Mo'hair sheep with human hair, the pigs with human brain tissue. As Adam One and his intrepid hemp-clad band make their way through this strange new world, Ren and Toby will have to decide on their next move. They can't stay locked away... <br /><br />By turns dark, tender, violent, thoughtful, and uneasily hilarious, <i>The Year of the Flood</i> is Atwood at her most brilliant and inventive.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[<i>Alternate cover edition of ISBN 9780385721677</i>.<br /><b>Oryx and Crake</b> is at once an unforgettable love story and a compelling vision of the future. Snowman, known as Jimmy before mankind was overwhelmed by a plague, is struggling to survive in a world where he may be the last human, and mourning the loss of his best friend, Crake, and the beautiful and elusive Oryx whom they both loved. In search of answers, Snowman embarks on a journey–with the help of the green-eyed Children of Crake–through the lush wilderness that was so recently a great city, until powerful corporations took mankind on an uncontrolled genetic engineering ride. Margaret Atwood projects us into a near future that is both all too familiar and beyond our imagining.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Türk edebiyatının en önemli eserlerinden biri olan Tutunamayanlar'ı Berna Moran, "hem söyledikleri hem de söyleyiş biçimiyle bir başkaldırı" olarak niteler. Moran'a göre "Oğuz Atay'ın mizah gücü, duyarlılığı ve kullandığı teknik incelikler, Tutunamayanlar'ı büyük bir yeteneğin ürünü yapmış, yapıttaki bu yetkinlik Türk romanını çağdaş roman anlayışıyla aynı hizaya getirmiş ve ona çok şey kazandırmıştır." <br /><br />Küçük burjuva dünyasını zekice alaya alan Atay "saldırısını, tutunanların anlamayacağı, reddedeceği türden bir romanla yapar." Tutunamayanlar, 1970 TRT Roman Ödülü'nü kazanmıştı.]]></book_description>

The uneasy balance between these worlds is shattered when Starr witnesses the fatal shooting of her childhood best friend Khalil at the hands of a police officer. Khalil was unarmed.<br /><br />Soon afterward, his death is a national headline. Some are calling him a thug, maybe even a drug dealer and a gangbanger. Protesters are taking to the streets in Khalil’s name. Some cops and the local drug lord try to intimidate Starr and her family. What everyone wants to know is: what really went down that night? And the only person alive who can answer that is Starr.<br /><br />But what Starr does—or does not—say could upend her community. It could also endanger her life.<br /><br />Inspired by the Black Lives Matter movement, this is a powerful and gripping YA novel about one girl's struggle for justice.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[<i>
  <b>In love we find out who we want to be. In war we find out who we are.</b>
</i><br /><br /><b>France, 1939</b><br /><br />In the quiet village of Carriveau, Vianne Mauriac says goodbye to her husband, Antoine, as he heads for the Front. She doesn't believe that the Nazis will invade France…but invade they do, in droves of marching soldiers, in caravans of trucks and tanks, in planes that fill the skies and drop bombs upon the innocent. When a German captain requisitions Vianne's home, she and her daughter must live with the enemy or lose everything. Without food or money or hope, as danger escalates all around them, she is forced to make one impossible choice after another to keep her family alive.<br /><br />Vianne's sister, Isabelle, is a rebellious eighteen-year-old, searching for purpose with all the reckless passion of youth. While thousands of Parisians march into the unknown terrors of war, she meets Gäetan, a partisan who believes the French can fight the Nazis from within France, and she falls in love as only the young can…completely. But when he betrays her, Isabelle joins the Resistance and never looks back, risking her life time and again to save others.<br /><br />With courage, grace, and powerful insight, bestselling author Kristin Hannah captures the epic panorama of World War II and illuminates an intimate part of history seldom seen: the women's war. <i>The Nightingale</i> tells the stories of two sisters, separated by years and experience, by ideals, passion and circumstance, each embarking on her own dangerous path toward survival, love, and freedom in German-occupied, war-torn France―a heartbreakingly beautiful novel that celebrates the resilience of the human spirit and the durability of women. It is a novel for everyone, a novel for a lifetime.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[<p>Georg Trakl's poems are considered some of the most difficult for any translator to tackle; his German is dense and sometimes almost impenetrable. Daniel Simko's collection Autumn Sonata, has been lauded for the "simplicity and directness" of its translations, accomplished with out sacrificing the drama of Trakl's rich imagery. Suffering from manic depressive episodes and haunted by his experiences tending the wounded and dying during World War One, Trakl's poems reflect a sense of lostness: nightmare visions and disembodied voices provide an often eccentric perspective of reality. Though he yearns for deliverance, there poems do not anticipate it. Instead, they map the interior landscape of a brilliant, though troubled, spirit.</p>]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[The reputation of Rainer Maria Rilke has grown steadily since his death in 1926; today he is widely considered to be the greatest poet of the twentieth century. This Modern Library edition presents Stephen Mitchell’s acclaimed translations of Rilke, which have won praise for their re-creation of the poet’s rich formal music and depth of thought. “If Rilke had written in English,” Denis Donoghue wrote in The New York Times Book Review, “he would have written in this English.” Ahead of All Parting is an abundant selection of Rilke’s lifework. It contains representative poems from his early collections The Book of Hours and The Book of Pictures; many selections from the revolutionary New Poems, which drew inspiration from Rodin and Cezanne; the hitherto little-known “Requiem for a Friend”; and a generous selection of the late uncollected poems, which constitute some of his finest work. Included too are passages from Rilke’s influential novel, The Notebooks of Malte Laurids Brigge, and nine of his brilliant uncollected prose pieces. Finally, the book presents the poet’s two greatest masterpieces in their the Duino Elegies and The Sonnets to Orpheus . “Rilke’s voice, with its extraordinary combination of formality, power, speed and lightness, can be heard in Mr. Mitchell’s versions more clearly than in any others,” said W. S. Merwin. “His work is masterful.”]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[<i>Alternate cover edition of ISBN-13: 978-0140286809, ISBN-10/ASIN: 0140286802</i><br /><br />For the first time in English, all the fiction by the writer who has been called “the greatest Spanish-language writer of our century” collected in a single volume<br /><br />A Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition with flaps and deckle-edged paper<br /> <br />For some fifty years, in intriguing and ingenious fictions that reimagined the very form of the short story—from his 1935 debut with A Universal History of Iniquity through his immensely influential collections Ficciones and The Aleph, the enigmatic prose poems of The Maker, up to his final work in the 1980s, Shakespeare’s Memory—Jorge Luis Borges returned again and again to his celebrated themes: dreams, duels, labyrinths, mirrors, infinite libraries, the manipulations of chance, gauchos, knife fighters, tigers, and the elusive nature of identity itself. Playfully experimenting with ostensibly subliterary genres, he took the detective story and turned it into metaphysics; he took fantasy writing and made it, with its questioning and reinventing of everyday reality, central to the craft of fiction; he took the literary essay and put it to use reviewing wholly imaginary books.<br /><br />Bringing together for the first time in English all of Borges’s magical stories, and all of them newly rendered into English in brilliant translations by Andrew Hurley, Collected Fictions is the perfect one-volume compendium for all who have long loved Borges, and a superb introduction to the master’s work for all who have yet to discover this singular genius.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[<b>An audacious, darkly glittering novel set in the eerie days of civilization’s collapse—the spellbinding story of a Hollywood star, his would-be savior, and a nomadic group of actors roaming the scattered outposts of the Great Lakes region, risking everything for art and humanity.</b><br /><br />Kirsten Raymonde will never forget the night Arthur Leander, the famous Hollywood actor, had a heart attack on stage during a production of King Lear. That was the night when a devastating flu pandemic arrived in the city, and within weeks, civilization as we know it came to an end.<br /><br />Twenty years later, Kirsten moves between the settlements of the altered world with a small troupe of actors and musicians. They call themselves The Traveling Symphony, and they have dedicated themselves to keeping the remnants of art and humanity alive. But when they arrive in St. Deborah by the Water, they encounter a violent prophet who will threaten the tiny band’s existence. And as the story takes off, moving back and forth in time, and vividly depicting life before and after the pandemic, the strange twist of fate that connects them all will be revealed.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[A searing, postapocalyptic novel destined to become Cormac McCarthy’s masterpiece.<br /><br />A father and his son walk alone through burned America. Nothing moves in the ravaged landscape save the ash on the wind. It is cold enough to crack stones, and when the snow falls it is gray. The sky is dark. Their destination is the coast, although they don’t know what, if anything, awaits them there. They have nothing; just a pistol to defend themselves against the lawless bands that stalk the road, the clothes they are wearing, a cart of scavenged food—and each other.<br /><br /><i>The Road</i> is the profoundly moving story of a journey. It boldly imagines a future in which no hope remains, but in which the father and his son, “each the other’s world entire,” are sustained by love. Awesome in the totality of its vision, it is an unflinching meditation on the worst and the best that we are capable of: ultimate destructiveness, desperate tenacity, and the tenderness that keeps two people alive in the face of total devastation.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Nearly seventy years after its original publication, Ray Bradbury’s internationally acclaimed novel Fahrenheit 451 stands as a classic of world literature set in a bleak, dystopian future. Today its message has grown more relevant than ever before.<br /><br />Guy Montag is a fireman. His job is to destroy the most illegal of commodities, the printed book, along with the houses in which they are hidden. Montag never questions the destruction and ruin his actions produce, returning each day to his bland life and wife, Mildred, who spends all day with her television “family.” But when he meets an eccentric young neighbor, Clarisse, who introduces him to a past where people didn’t live in fear and to a present where one sees the world through the ideas in books instead of the mindless chatter of television, Montag begins to question everything he has ever known.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Set in the totalitarian state of Oceania, George Orwell’s 1984 follows Winston Smith, a low-ranking party member whose job at the Ministry of Truth involves rewriting historical records to align with official party doctrine.<br /><br />Living under constant state surveillance via ubiquitous telescreens, Winston covertly rebels against the ruling Party through private journal writing and an illicit relationship with a coworker, Julia. The novel examines the mechanics of political authoritarianism, the manipulation of language and history, and the tension between individual consciousness and state power.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Offred is a Handmaid in the Republic of Gilead. She may leave the home of the Commander and his wife once a day to walk to food markets whose signs are now pictures instead of words because women are no longer allowed to read. She must lie on her back once a month and pray that the Commander makes her pregnant, because in an age of declining births, Offred and the other Handmaids are valued only if their ovaries are viable. Offred can remember the years before, when she lived and made love with her husband, Luke; when she played with and protected her daughter; when she had a job, money of her own, and access to knowledge. But all of that is gone now…<br /><br />Funny, unexpected, horrifying, and altogether convincing, <i>The Handmaid's Tale</i> is at once scathing satire, dire warning, and tour de force.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[عبر مجموعة من المقالات الساخرة والمتنوعة يستعرض الكاتب العديد من الأحداث والمواقف التى أصابت أبطالها لعنة الغجر، فمعظم المشتغلين بالفلسفة والفن، والرهبان يمارسون هذه الوحدة والعزلة الروحية، واعتزال الناس من أجل فهم الناس، فليس الغجر هم الذين زرعوا الوحدة وبذروا العزلة فى عقولنا؛ ولكنهم هم الذين كشفوا عن هذه الرغبة الدفينة. إنهم لا يمتلكون إلا أنفسهم؛ لأنهم ليسوا من الأغلبية لأنهم على الهامش لا يريدون، ولا يرفضون. وليست حياتنا الفلسفية إلا حقدًا على الغجر ومجاراة لهم، والمثل يقول: اهرش أى فنان أو مفكر أو عالم أو صوفى يظهر لك الغجرى!!]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[The year is 1969. In the state of Kerala, on the southernmost tip of India, a skyblue Plymouth with chrome tailfins is stranded on the highway amid a Marxist workers' demonstration. Inside the car sit two-egg twins Rahel and Esthappen, and so begins their tale. . . .<br /><br />Armed only with the invincible innocence of children, they fashion a childhood for themselves in the shade of the wreck that is their family—their lonely, lovely mother, Ammu (who loves by night the man her children love by day), their blind grandmother, Mammachi (who plays Handel on her violin), their beloved uncle Chacko (Rhodes scholar, pickle baron, radical Marxist, bottom-pincher), their enemy, Baby Kochamma (ex-nun and incumbent grandaunt), and the ghost of an imperial entomologist's moth (with unusually dense dorsal tufts).<br /><br />When their English cousin, Sophie Mol, and her mother, Margaret Kochamma, arrive on a Christmas visit, Esthappen and Rahel learn that Things Can Change in a Day. That lives can twist into new, ugly shapes, even cease forever, beside their river "graygreen." With fish in it. With the sky and trees in it. And at night, the broken yellow moon in it.<br /><br />The brilliantly plotted story uncoils with an agonizing sense of foreboding and inevitability. Yet nothing prepares you for what lies at the heart of it.<br /><br /><i>The God of Small Things</i> takes on the Big Themes—Love. Madness. Hope. Infinite Joy. Here is a writer who dares to break the rules. To dislocate received rhythms and create the language she requires, a language that is at once classical and unprecedented. Arundhati Roy has given us a book that is anchored to anguish, but fueled by wit and magic.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Margaret Atwood takes the art of storytelling to new heights in a dazzling novel that unfolds layer by astonishing layer and concludes in a brilliant and wonderfully satisfying twist. Told in a style that magnificently captures the colloquialisms and clichés of the 1930s and 1940s, <i>The Blind Assassin</i> is a richly layered and uniquely rewarding experience.<br /><br />It opens with these simple, resonant words: "Ten days after the war ended, my sister drove a car off the bridge." They are spoken by Iris, whose terse account of her sister Laura's death in 1945 is followed by an inquest report proclaiming the death accidental. But just as the reader expects to settle into Laura's story, Atwood introduces a novel-within-a-novel. Entitled <i>The Blind Assassin</i>, it is a science fiction story told by two unnamed lovers who meet in dingy backstreet rooms. When we return to Iris, it is through a 1947 newspaper article announcing the discovery of a sailboat carrying the dead body of her husband, a distinguished industrialist.<br /><br />For the past twenty-five years, Margaret Atwood has written works of striking originality and imagination. In <i>The Blind Assassin</i>, she stretches the limits of her accomplishments as never before, creating a novel that is entertaining and profoundly serious. <i>The Blind Assassin</i> proves once again that Atwood is one of the most talented, daring, and exciting writers of our time. Like <i>The Handmaid's Tale</i>, it is destined to become a classic.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[<i>This is an alternative cover edition for ISBN <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/search/search?q=9780007230181" title="9780007230181" rel="nofollow noopener">9780007230181</a></i><br /><br />England in the 1520s is a heartbeat from disaster. If the king dies without a male heir, the country could be destroyed by civil war. Henry VIII wants to annul his marriage of twenty years and marry Anne Boleyn. The pope and most of Europe opposes him. Into this impasse steps Thomas Cromwell: a wholly original man, a charmer and a bully, both idealist and opportunist, astute in reading people, and implacable in his ambition. But Henry is volatile: one day tender, one day murderous. Cromwell helps him break the opposition, but what will be the price of his triumph?]]></book_description>

She has failed to give him a son, and her sharp intelligence and strong will have alienated his old friends and the noble families of England.<br /><br />When the discarded Katherine, Henry's first wife, dies in exile from the court, Anne stands starkly exposed, the focus of gossip and malice, setting in motion a dramatic trial of the queen and her suitors for adultery and treason. <br /><br />At a word from Henry, Thomas Cromwell is ready to bring her down. Over a few terrifying weeks, Anne is ensnared in a web of conspiracy, while the demure Jane Seymour stands waiting her turn for the poisoned wedding ring. But Anne and her powerful family will not yield without a ferocious struggle. To defeat the Boleyns, Cromwell must ally himself with his enemies. What price will he pay for Annie's head?]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[It is 1866, and young Walter Moody has come to make his fortune upon the New Zealand goldfields. On the stormy night of his arrival, he stumbles across a tense gathering of twelve local men who have met in secret to discuss a series of unexplained events: A wealthy man has vanished, a prostitute has tried to end her life, and an enormous fortune has been discovered in the home of a luckless drunk. Moody is soon drawn into the mystery: a network of fates and fortunes that is as complex and exquisitely ornate as the night sky. Richly evoking a mid-nineteenth-century world of shipping, banking, and gold rush boom and bust, <em>The Luminaries </em>is a brilliantly constructed, fiendishly clever ghost story and a gripping page-turner.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[<b>A novel of the cruelty of war, and tenuousness of life and the impossibility of love.</b> <br /><br />Richard Flanagan's story—of Dorrigo Evans, an Australian doctor haunted by a love affair with his uncle's wife—journeys from the caves of Tasmanian trappers in the early twentieth century to a crumbling pre-war beachside hotel, from a Thai jungle prison to a Japanese snow festival, from the Changi gallows to a chance meeting of lovers on the Sydney Harbour Bridge. <br /><br />Taking its title from 17th-century haiku poet Basho's travel journal, <i>The Narrow Road to the Deep North</i> is about the impossibility of love. At its heart is one day in a Japanese slave labour camp in August 1943. As the day builds to its horrific climax, Dorrigo Evans battles and fails in his quest to save the lives of his fellow POWs, a man is killed for no reason, and a love story unfolds.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[On December 3, 1976, just before the Jamaican general election and two days before Bob Marley was to play the Smile Jamaica Concert, gunmen stormed his house, machine guns blazing. The attack nearly killed the Reggae superstar, his wife, and his manager, and injured several others. Marley would go on to perform at the free concert on December 5, but he left the country the next day, not to return for two years.<br /><br />Deftly spanning decades and continents and peopled with a wide range of characters—assassins, journalists, drug dealers, and even ghosts—<i>A Brief History of Seven Killings</i> is the fictional exploration of that dangerous and unstable time and its bloody aftermath, from the streets and slums of Kingston in the 70s, to the crack wars in 80s New York, to a radically altered Jamaica in the 90s. Brilliantly inventive and stunningly ambitious, this novel is a revealing modern epic that will secure Marlon James’ place among the great literary talents of his generation.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[<p>A biting satire about a young man's isolated upbringing and the race trial that sends him to the Supreme Court, Paul Beatty's <i>The Sellout </i>showcases a comic genius at the top of his game. It challenges the sacred tenets of the United States Constitution, urban life, the civil rights movement, the father-son relationship, and the holy grail of racial equality—the black Chinese restaurant.</p><p><br />Born in the "agrarian ghetto" of Dickens—on the southern outskirts of Los Angeles—the narrator of <i>The Sellout</i> resigns himself to the fate of lower-middle-class Californians: "I'd die in the same bedroom I'd grown up in, looking up at the cracks in the stucco ceiling that've been there since '68 quake." Raised by a single father, a controversial sociologist, he spent his childhood as the subject in racially charged psychological studies. He is led to believe that his father's pioneering work will result in a memoir that will solve his family's financial woes. But when his father is killed in a police shoot-out, he realizes there never was a memoir. All that's left is the bill for a drive-thru funeral.Fuelled by this deceit and the general disrepair of his hometown, the narrator sets out to right another wrong: Dickens has literally been removed from the map to save California from further embarrassment. Enlisting the help of the town's most famous resident—the last surviving Little Rascal, Hominy Jenkins—he initiates the most outrageous action conceivable: reinstating slavery and segregating the local high school, which lands him in the Supreme Court.</p><p>

    <book_description><![CDATA[In his long-awaited first novel, American master George Saunders delivers his most original, transcendent, and moving work yet. Unfolding in a graveyard over the course of a single night, narrated by a dazzling chorus of voices, <i>Lincoln in the Bardo</i> is a literary experience unlike any other—for no one but Saunders could conceive it. <br /><br />February 1862. The Civil War is less than one year old. The fighting has begun in earnest, and the nation has begun to realize it is in for a long, bloody struggle. Meanwhile, President Lincoln's beloved eleven-year-old son, Willie, lies upstairs in the White House, gravely ill. In a matter of days, despite predictions of a recovery, Willie dies and is laid to rest in a Georgetown cemetery. "My poor boy, he was too good for this earth," the president says at the time. "God has called him home." Newspapers report that a grief-stricken Lincoln returned to the crypt several times alone to hold his boy's body. <br /><br />From that seed of historical truth, George Saunders spins an unforgettable story of familial love and loss that breaks free of its realistic, historical framework into a thrilling, supernatural realm both hilarious and terrifying. Willie Lincoln finds himself in a strange purgatory, where ghosts mingle, gripe, commiserate, quarrel, and enact bizarre acts of penance. Within this transitional state—called, in the Tibetan tradition, the bardo—a monumental struggle erupts over young Willie's soul. <br /><br /><i>Lincoln in the Bardo</i> is an astonishing feat of imagination and a bold step forward from one of the most important and influential writers of his generation. Formally daring, generous in spirit, deeply concerned with matters of the heart, it is a testament to fiction's ability to speak honestly and powerfully to the things that really matter to us. Saunders has invented a thrilling new form that deploys a kaleidoscopic, theatrical panorama of voices—living and dead, historical and invented—to ask a timeless, profound question: How do we live and love when we know that everything we love must end?]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[<i>
  <pre>This is a previously-published edition of ISBN 9783499221897.</pre>
</i>Die Sonne sei Schuld gewesen, er habe den Araber am Strand nicht erschießen wollen. Mit dieser Erklärung erntet der Büroangestellte Meursault vor Gericht nur Gelächter. Der Staatsanwalt fordert seinen Kopf und klagt ihn der Unmenschlichkeit an.<p> Meursaults grundlegende Schuld besteht jedoch darin, ein Sonderling zu sein, gesellschaftliche Spielregeln zu mißachten, am Grab seiner Mutter nicht geweint und tags drauf eine Liebschaft begonnen zu haben. Man wird lange suchen müssen nach einem Roman, in dem eine Philosophie (aus Camus' zeitgleich entstandenem Essay über das Absurde <i>Der Mythos von Sisyphos</i>) ähnlich elegant und überzeugend in Literatur verwandelt wird. Und erstaunlich, wie betörend klar und frisch die Sprache in Camus' frühem Meisterwerk heute noch wirkt, wie kunstvoll Aufbau und Motivführung sind.</p><p> Meersault ist ein Anti-Held par excellence: Abgesehen von kleinen sinnlichen Genüssen lebt er unauffällig, gelangweilt und passiv sein unbedeutsames Leben. Er läßt sich treiben, wenn er nichts zu sagen hat, redet er auch nicht, und als ihn Maria fragt, ob er sie heiraten wolle, ringt er sich nur ein "das ist mir einerlei" ab. Erst angesichts des Todesurteils beginnt er nachzudenken und wird sich bewußt, daß er glücklich gewesen war und es immer noch ist. Als der Gefängnispriester ihn, den Ungläubigen, zu gottesfürchtiger Buße anhält, schleudert er ihm wütend sein eigenes Glaubensbekenntnis "dieses ganzen absurden Lebens" ins Gesicht und unterwirft sich endgültig "der zärtlichen Gleichgültigkeit der Welt", der er sich "brüderlich" verbunden fühlt. Er hat nur noch einen Wunsch: "Am Tag meiner Hinrichtung viele Zuschauer, die mich mit Schreien des Hasses empfangen". <i>--Christian Stahl</i></p>]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[تعتبر هذه الرواية من أهم الأعمال الأسبانية - الأمريكية خاصة, ومن أهم الأعمال الأدبية العالمية عموما. وتروي الرواية قصة عائلة بوينديا على مدى ستة أجيال التي تعيش في قرية خيالية تدعى "ماكوندو".<br /><br />يسجل ماركيز قصة حياة عائلة "بوينديا" في قرية ماكوندو على الساحل الكاريبي، بدءاً من قدوم الجد الأكبر "خوزيه أركاديو بوينديا" والجدة الكبرى "أورسولا" و "بيلار تيريزا" التي تقرأ مستقبل الناس من خلال ورق اللعب، ومجموعة متنوعة من المهاجرين. ثم تكوين مجتمع ماكوندو الغريب الذي يتسم كل شيء فيه بالعزلة النسبية. فكل فرد ومكان طبع على شخصيته سمات خاصة تجعل تفرده حالة مستعصية.<br /><br />ثم يأتي إلى القرية الجديدة الغجر بألعابهم السحرية التي لا تنتهي، فتطبع على القرية وأهلها شكل آخر من أشكال الخرافة، ويأتي مع الغجر الشخصية الغريبة "ملكياديس" والذي يفعل أشياءا غريبة ويرحل مخلفا وراءه كنزا غريبا بعض الشيء، وهو مجموعة من الأوراق التي تسجل بدقة تاريخ القرية وكل سكانها من لحظة وجودها وحتى لحظة فناء القرية وأهلها، ولكن هذه الأوراق لا تقرأ إلا بعد مرور مائة عام على كتابتها !<br /><br />ثم يتنوع نسل عائلة بوينديا إلى مجموعة من الأبناء والأحفاد مصنفين لنوعين ؛ الأول يمتلك صفات جسدية خارقة للعادة وقدرة جنسية فائقة ، والآخرون يحملون صفات العزلة والتمرد المطلوبة لقائد.<br /><br />يأتي المستعمر الأجنبي إلى القرية الهادئة بصخبه وشركاته وينشئ على الطرف الآخر من البلدة شركة الموز، والتي استغلها المستعمر ليستعبد أهل القرية وخيرات القرية بحماية من قوات الجيش الوطني وحزب المحافظين. حيث صاح العقيد الدموي المستبد الثائر أوريليانو بوينديا "إنظرو البلاء الذي جلبناه لأنفسنا لمجرد أننا دعونا أمريكياً لأكل الموز عندنا !!".<br /><br />أحداث الرواية الخيالية متقاطعة مع تاريخ كولومبيا و إنفصالها عن أسبانيا و إعلان إستقلالها و حربها الأهلية التي إندلعت في عام 1885 قبل أن تنتهي بتوقيع معاهدة نيرلانديا سنة 1902 بواسطة زعيم الثوار الكابتن رافائيل يريبي و الذي حارب جد الكاتب تحت إمرته.<br /><br />ثم يأتي على القرية سنوات من الثراء الرهيب، حتى أن أحد الأحفاد كان يغطي جدار البيت بالأوراق النقدية، وموّل عدة مشروعات للسكك الحديدية والنقل البحري، وتزوج من ملكة أندلسية ، قبل أن تأتي مجددا سنوات الفقر مع طوفان من الأمطار استمر لسنوات وسنوات، وأخيرا عندما توقف كانت الحياة قد تغيرت تماما في قرية ماكوندو إلى أسوأ حال، ولكن الحياة تستمر على الرغم من هذا.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA["ماريو بارغاس يوسا" روائي ولد في البيرو عام 1936 وبرز في عالم الأدب بعد نشر روايته الأولى "المدينة والكلاب" التي نال عليها جوائز عديدة منها جائزة "ببليوتيكا بريفي" عام 1962 وجائزة "النقد" عام 1963 وترجمت إلى أكثر من عشرين لغة أجنبية، وتتالت أعماله الروائية، وتعددت الجوائز التي حصل عليها، وقد كان آخرها حصوله عام 1944 على جائزة "سرفانتس للآداب" التي تعد أهم جائزة للآداب الناطقة بالأسبانية. وفي روايته "حفلة التيس" يستعيد الروائي "ماريو بارغاس يوسا"، وبكثير من المرح، والمذاق الذي يميّز طريقه الكلام الرومينكانية، يستعيد مرحلة تاريخية قاتمة في حياة جمهورية "الدومنيكان" الصغيرة حيث يقدم نموذجاً للقائد "التاريخي الملهم تروخييو" الذي أنزل بشعبه في الآفات والمصائب والأهوال ما يتسامى القلم عن تدوينه، وقد استطاع ماريو بارغاس رسم صورة مرعبة لذلك الطاغية، مستعيناً بحسه الروائي العميق، وبتجربته الأدبية الفنية، في تقصي فترة تاريخية، سياسية تصعب على الرواية تناولها بالشكل الذي أظهرته رواية "حفلة التيس" ثمة وصف عميق ودقيق للدواخل الشخصيات ومشاعرها، وحالات الهلع والذعر التي تنتابها، ووصف آسر للشوارع والبيوت والحدائق والطرقات والروائح، وزرقة البحر وفق منحى بصري لا يترك شيئاً إلا ويجد له حيزا في رواية الأرواح الباحثة من الطمأنينة في تضاريس تلك الجمهورية المضطربة والقلقة، فتتحاور بخوف، وتحيا بخوف، وتموت بخوف... لكنها تتغلب في النهاية على هذه العقدة، وتقتل الطاغية، وبشجاعة هذه المرة بعد مرور أكثر من ثلاثة عقود.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[By one of the most profoundly influential thinkers of our century, The Rebel is a classic essay on revolution. For Albert Camus, the urge to revolt is one of the "essential dimensions" of human nature, manifested in man's timeless Promethean struggle against the conditions of his existence, as well as the popular uprisings against established orders throughout history. And yet, with an eye toward the French Revolution and its regicides and deicides, he shows how inevitably the course of revolution leads to tyranny, as old regimes throughout the world collapse, The Rebel resonates as an ardent, eloquent, and supremely rational voice of conscience for our tumultuous times.<br /><br />Translated from the French by Anthony Bower.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[One of the most influential works of this century, this is a crucial exposition of existentialist thought. Influenced by works such as Don Juan, and the novels of Kafka, these essays begin with a meditation on suicide: the question of living or not living in an absurd universe devoid of order or meaning. With lyric eloquence, Camus posits a way out of despair, reaffirming the value of personal existence, and the possibility of life lived with dignity and authenticity.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Jean-Baptiste Clamence is a soul in turmoil. Over several drunken nights in an Amsterdam bar, he regales a chance acquaintance with his story. From this successful former lawyer and seemingly model citizen a compelling, self-loathing catalogue of guilt, hypocrisy and alienation pours forth. <br /><br /><i>The Fall</i> (French: <i>La Chute</i>) is a philosophical novel by Albert Camus. First published in 1956, it is his last complete work of fiction. <i>The Fall</i> explores themes of innocence, imprisonment, non-existence, and truth. In a eulogy to Albert Camus, existentialist philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre described the novel as "perhaps the most beautiful and the least understood" of Camus' books.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[<i>The Plague</i> is a novel by Albert Camus, published in 1947. It tells the story from the point of view of a narrator of a plague sweeping the French Algerian city of Oran. The narrator remains unknown until the start of the last chapter, chapter 5 of part 5. The novel presents a snapshot of life in Oran as seen through the author's distinctive absurdist point of view. <br /><br />The book tells a gripping tale of human unrelieved horror, of survival and resilience, and of the ways in which humankind confronts death, <i>The Plague</i> is at once a masterfully crafted novel, eloquently understated and epic in scope, and a parable of ageless moral resonance, profoundly relevant to our times. In Oran, a coastal town in North Africa, the plague begins as a series of portents, unheeded by the people. It gradually becomes an omnipresent reality, obliterating all traces of the past and driving its victims to almost unearthly extremes of suffering, madness, and compassion. <br /><br /><i>The Plague</i> is considered an existentialist classic despite Camus' objection to the label. The novel stresses the powerlessness of the individual characters to affect their destinies. The narrative tone is similar to Kafka's, especially in <i>The Trial</i>, whose individual sentences potentially have multiple meanings; the material often pointedly resonating as stark allegory of phenomenal consciousness and the human condition.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[كتب "ألبير" مسرحية "كاليجولا" عام 1938 وهو في حسن الخامسة والعشرين، وإلى يومنا هذا يعدها النقاد أفضل مسرحياته. بالإضافة إلى كونها أكثر إثارة للجدل والشهرة، نجد فيها عصياناً شيطانياً ضد القدر، قدمه لنا مؤلفها وهو في الطريق للبحث عن معالجة لمشكلة الحرية. لذا أقدم كامو على اختيار حاكم مطلق كبطل لمسرحيته هذه-هو الذي يشرع القوانين، وهو الذي يخرقها ويبدل فيها كما تهوى نفسه، وغالباً ما يزدريها، متباهياً بأنه لم يتوقف قط عن تعليم قومه دروساً في الحرية.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[ثم يعود المهرج إلى مرآته في نهاية اليوم، أعود إلى غرفتي المغلقة على وحدتي العارية، ربما تمسني كهرباء خفيفة للحظات عابرة، بينما أخلع ثيابي، وأتأهب للنوم قرب الفجر، فأشعر وكأنني صرت ماما نفسها، وهى تنزع عنها إكسسوار إحدى شخصياتها. لم أكن هاتوشكا في الحقيقة، كان هذا هو الدور المناسب لي، مجرد دور، لا أكثر ولا أقل. ربما اندمجت فيه أكثر مما يجب، حتى لم أعد أعرف من هو هاني محفوظ الحقيقي، وكيف أعود إليه عندما أريد. عندي نسخ كثيرة منه. صحيح؛ كلها طبق الأصل، لكنها ليست الأصل، ليست أنا، كلها أقنعة وخلفها لا يوجد أي شيء، فراغ مفرغ، وله لذة.<br /><br />بعد بضعة شهور في السجن، يخرج هاني محفوظ مصابًا بخرس طارئ، ليجد صوته الجديد بين دفاتره، حيث يكتب كل يوم، فارضًا على نفسه عزلة اختيارية بغرفة فندق، لا يشاركه إياها غير عنكبوت صغير، يكتب متتبعاً صوره القديمة، على أمل العثور على صورة واحدة حقيقية له، يكتب حكاياته الصغيرة مع أهله وميوله الخاصة والأفراح الخاسرة في شوارع الليل، وأيضًا عن تجربته المذلة خلال أشهر سجنه، منقباً عن مغزى خفي، وراء كل ذلك الركام، في رحلة لا تتبع خطاً مستقيماً، بقدر ما تأخذه في اتجاهات عديدة، كأنها شبكة عنكبوت يغزلها بخيط واحد هو صوته المفقود، خيط يمتد من نفسه إلى الآخرين، من حاضر إلى ماضيه، ومن أوهام الحب الصبيانية إلى كابوس الوحشة والأذى.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[يلملم الكاتب الشاب «طلال فيصل» تفاصيل صغيرة من الشوارع والوثائق التاريخية، ومن حكايات من عاصروا الموسيقار الكبير «بليغ حمدي» وقصة حبه الشهيرة لوردة الجزائرية، وكذلك نهايته المأساوية؛ ليصنع منها بنيانًا روائيًا محكمًا يتعرض فيه لحياة بليغ وتقاطعها مع حكاية الراوي الذي يكتب عنه، مطاردًا بين الهوس ومحاولة تقصي أثر سيرة هذا الموسيقار العظيم .تدور الكثير من أحداث رواية «بليغ» بين باريس ومصر، ليخرج لنا المؤلف رواية تنتمي للوقائع الحقيقية وللبحث التاريخي، بقدر ما تنتمي لخيال كاتبها ورؤيته. تعد رواية «بليغ» الرواية الثالثة لطلال فيصل، استمرارًا لمشروعه السردي الذي بدأه في رواية «سرور» التي تناولت سيرة الشاعر «نجيب سرور»، وحاز بها على جائزة ساويرس في العام الماضي.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[في حضور الوجدان تتألق معاني أحلام مستغانمي، وفي ذاكرة الجسد تتوج حضورها، حروفاً كلمات عبارات تتقاطر في حفل الغناء الروحي. موسيقاه الوطن المنبعث برغم الجراحات... مليون شهيد وثورة ومجاهد، وجزائر الثكلى بأبنائها تنبعث زوابع وعواصف الشوق والحنين في قلب خالد الرسام الذي امتشق الريشة بعد أن هوت يده التي حملت السلاح يوماً، والريشة والسلاح سيّان، كلاهما ريشة تعزف على أوتار الوطن. ففي فرنسا وعندما كان يرسم ما تراه عيناه، جسر ميرابو ونهر السين، وجد أن ما يرسمه هو جسراً آخر ووادياً آخر لمدينة أخرى هي قسنطينة، فأدرك لحظتها أنه في كل حال لا يرسم ما نسكنه، وإنما ما يسكننا. <br />وهل كانت أحلام مستغانمي تكتب ذاكرة الجسد أم أنها تكتب ذاكرة الوطن؟!! الأمر سيّان فما الجسد إلا جزء من الوطن وما الوطن إلا هذا الجسد الساكن فيه إلى الأبد. تتقاطر الذكرى مفعمة بروح الماضي الذي يأبى إلا الحضور في كل شيء متجسداً السي طاهر التي كما عرفها خالد طفلة رجل قاد خطواته على درب الكفاح؛ عرفها أنثى... كانت من الممكن أن تكون حبيبته، زوجته، ولكنها باتت زوجة في زواج لم يحضره، تلف الذكرى الصفحات، وتتهادى العبارات ممسكة بتلابيب الذكريات دون أن توقظ النفس ملل الحضور. الوطن والحبيبة يجتمعان، والثورة والحب ينصهران في بوتقة واحدة، ومزيجهما عطاء فكري، بعيد عن الخيال، للواقع أقرب، وللإنسان في صدق مشاعره وأحاسيسه أقرب وأقرب.<br /><br />]]></book_description>

There he learns of a great hoard of treasure hidden on the Isle of Monte Cristo and becomes determined not only to escape but to unearth the treasure and use it to plot the destruction of the three men responsible for his incarceration. A huge popular success when it was first serialized in the 1840s, Dumas was inspired by a real-life case of wrongful imprisonment when writing his epic tale of suffering and retribution.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[يقول الأستاذ جلال أمين عن هذه الرواية المتميزة: ها هى رواية علاء الأسوانى الجديدة «شيكاجو» تستحق بدورها نجاحًا مماثلاً وبنفس القدر من الجدارة كالذى استحقته عمارة يعقوبيان. فرحت عند انتهائى من قراءتها لأكثر من سبب، فقد أكدت لى هذه القراءة أن لدينا بالفعل أديبًا كبيرًا وموهوبًا، وظهر أن عمارة يعقوبيان ليست ظاهرة منفردة لا تتكرر، بل إن من الممكن أن تتكرر المرة بعد المرة. فى الرواية الجديدة (شيكاجو) كل مزايا الرواية السابقة: التشويق الذى يبدأ من أول صفحة ويستمر إلى آخر صفحة، أسلوب الكتابة السلس والسريع الذى يصيب الهدف باستمرار بلا تثاقل أو تسكع، الرسم الواضح والمتسق للشخصيات، اللغة العربية الراقية دون تكلف أو تعمد الإغراب، وقبل كل شيء وفوق كل شيء، نُبل المعني، إذ لا جدوى فى رأيى من رواية مهما كانت درجة تشويقها وإتقانها إذا لم تكن نبيلة المقصد، وإذا كان المقصد تافهًا أو حقيرًا قضى على ما قد يكون للمهارة والشطارة من أثر فى نفس القارئ]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[<i>Librarian's note: This an alternate cover for</i>: <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/search/search?q=9780452284241" title="9780452284241" rel="nofollow noopener">9780452284241</a><br /><br />George Orwell's timeless and timely allegorical novel—a scathing satire of a downtrodden society’s blind march towards totalitarianism.<br /><br />“All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.”<br /><br />A farm is taken over by its overworked, mistreated animals. With flaming idealism and stirring slogans, they set out to create a paradise of progress, justice, and equality. Thus the stage is set for one of the most telling satiric fables ever penned—a razor-edged fairy tale for grown-ups that records the evolution from revolution against tyranny to a totalitarianism just as terrible.<br /><br />When Animal Farm was first published, Stalinist Russia was seen as its target. Today it is devastatingly clear that wherever and whenever freedom is attacked, under whatever banner, the cutting clarity and savage comedy of George Orwell’s masterpiece have a meaning and message still ferociously fresh.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[The exploits of Tom Sawyer, a consummate prankster with a quick wit, captivate children of all ages. Yet through the novel's humorous escapades, from the episodes of the whitewashed fence and the ordeal in the cave to the trial of Injun Joe, Mark Twain explores deeper themes within the adult world Tom will one day join. These include the baser human instincts of dishonesty and superstition, murder and revenge, starvation and slavery.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[أول الرجال على سطح القمر هو أحد أبرز أعمال الكاتب الإنجليزي الرائد في أدب الخيال العلمي هـ. ج. ويلز، نُشر لأول مرة عام 1901. تدور أحداث الرواية حول مغامرة استثنائية يقوم بها اثنان من الرجال، هما "بيدفورد"، رجل الأعمال المفلس، و"كافور"، العالم الغريب الأطوار، اللذان يسافران إلى القمر بواسطة مركبة مصنوعة من مادة "الكافوريت"، التي اخترعها الأخير وتملك القدرة على إلغاء الجاذبية.<br /><br />عند وصولهما إلى القمر، يكتشفان عالماً باطنياً غريباً يسكنه كائنات ذكية تُعرف باسم "السيلينايت"، تعيش تحت سطح القمر وتتمتع بمجتمع معقد ومنظم. تبدأ مغامرتهما في استكشاف هذا العالم، لكنها سرعان ما تتحول إلى صراع من أجل البقاء والتواصل مع حضارة لا تشبه البشر في شيء.<br /><br />تمزج الرواية بين الخيال العلمي والفلسفة الاجتماعية، وتتناول قضايا مثل الاستعمار، وتطور الحضارات، وحدود العلم والطموح البشري. بأسلوبه المتفرد ورؤيته المستقبلية، يقدم ويلز عملاً يسبق عصره، ويظل حتى اليوم مصدر إلهام لقراء ومحبي الخيال العلمي.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[هذا كتاب ذو نكهة خاصة، يحمل معه وجهين مختلفين يكمل كل منهما الاخر، هنا ينتقي لنا «مكاوي سعيد» - بعين الروائي - وجوهًا وأماكن من وسط القاهرة، من بين جنبات تلك الشوارع المعدودة التي تَشكَّل فيها جزء هام من تاريخ مصر الحديثة؛ حيث كانت ولا تزال ملتقى المثقفين والفنانين المصريين، يمارسون فيها الفن والسياسة والكلام والصعلكة، من «وسط البلد»، حيث تتداخل حياة هؤلاء المثقفين وما لهم من طموحات لا محدودة وجنون مدهش، بحياة ملايين المارة اليوميين من جميع أنحاء مصر والعالم. سنقرأ عن 41 شخصية من ذوي الوجوه المألوفة في جلسات المثقفين أو على أطرافها، بعض هذه الشخصيات كان موهوبًا وفضل الصعلكة على الموهبة، وبعضهم تكسرت طموحاته بيده أو بيد غيره فانطوى على نفسه أو أصابه الجنون أو مات أو ابتعد، وبعضهم آثر السكينة وظل يغرف من حكمة الحياة الصافية <br />وفي الناحية الأخرى يحكي عن مقاهٍ ومطاعم وبارات ومنتديات ثقافية نشطت في «وسط البلد» في منتصف السبعينيات وأوائل الثمانينيات، تلك الأماكن التي منها ما يزال قائمًا يحتفظ ببريقه، ومنها ما انسحب تمامًا من الصورة بعد أن أزاحته محلات الأحذية أو الوجبات السريعة، ومنها ما تدهور حاله، وإن ظل محتفظًا باسمه ومكانه.. هنا يرصد «مكاوي سعيد» تاريخ هذه الأماكن، والحكايات التي دارت وتدور فيها وحولها. سنقرأ عن جروبي، وريش، والنادي اليوناني، وأسترا، وعلي بابا، وقهوة الحرية، وستلا، وإستوريل.. والكثير غيرها<br />كما أنجز الفنان عمرو الكفراوي عددًا من اللوحات الموازية لتلك النصوص والتي عبرت كثيرًا عن روح هذا العالم الثري الذي أمتعنا به مكاوي سعيد]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[في منزل لانيون، حين عدت أنا نفسي، ربما ترك فيّ ذعر صاحبي القديم أثراً لا يستهان به: لست أدري؛ لكن ذعره لا يعدو قطرةً في بحر الاشمئزاز الذي أتلفّت به إلى الوراء ناظراً هذه الساعات. تحولٌ ما استحوذني. ما عدت أخاف المشنقة، بل بت مذعوراً من كوني أنا هايد الذي يبرّحني. قد تلقيت بعضاً من لعنة لانيون في حلم؛ وفي حلم آخر عدتُ أدراجي إلى دارتي وأويت إلى الفراش. نمت بعد عياء النهار نوماً عميقاً ملازماً لم تتجاسر على انتهاكه حتى الكوابيس التي استبدت بي. استيقظت في الصباح خائراً موهن القوى، ولكن منتعشاً. ما أزال أمقت وأهاب فكرة الوحش النائم في عقاقيري، وما نسيت بالطبع المخاطر الرهيبة لليوم الفائت؛ لكنني كنت في البيت مرة أخرى، في دارتي وإلى جوار عقاقيري؛ والسكينة التي أسبغتها عليّ نجاتي تشعُّ في روحي إشعاعاً مبهراً يكاد يضاهي ألق الأمل.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[يرصد هذا الكتاب النكت الممكن نشرها عن حكام مصر الذين عرفناهم، وعاشرناهم، والذين سمعنا عنهم... الذين نتفق معهم، والذين نختلف عليهم، ورغم هذا فإنه (أي الكتاب) لا يشارك في لعبة الصراع السياسي، التي أصبح لها دوري، مثل كرة القدم، وإنما هدفه تقديم ما يدور في الشوارع، والحواري، والقهاوي، والمكاتب المكيفة، من أحاديث وكذلك رواية ما تحدث عنه رجال جمال عبد الناصر، وأنصار أنور السادات، ومؤيدي الوفد، ومشجعي الإخوان المسلمين، وأساتذة الجامعة والظرفاء والأدباء، والمشغولين بتشخيص المجتمع... إن كل هؤلاء شريك فيما سيقرأ في هذا الكتاب. وبالتالي يمكن القول بأن هذا الكتاب يمثل رحلة لجمع البصمات-لا الفراشات-من فوق شفتي الوطن، الذي نتصور-أحياناً-أنه يضحك بدون سبب.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[تاكسي: حواديت المشاوير الذي لاقى نجاحا نقديا وجماهيريا كبيرا وغير متوقع، فأثنى عليه الكثير من الكتاب والنقاد واستضافت مؤلفه عدد من البرامج التلفزيونية مثل العاشرة مساء والبيت بيتك والقاهرة اليوم، ووصفه د. عبد الوهاب المسيري بأنه "عمل إبداعي أصيل ومتعة فكرية حقيقية"، وقال عنه د. جلال أمين أنه من أجمل ما قرأ من كتب في وصف المجتمع المصري كما كتب عنه صفحة كاملة بجريدة المصري اليوم. والكتاب عبارة عن حوارات بين الراوي وسائقي التاكسي بالقاهرة يتناولون فيها بصراحة بالغة أوضاع البلاد والسياسة والاقتصاد والتطرف والمظاهرات والجنس وحياتهم وهمومهم الشخصية. كتاب ممتع ومرآة صادقة لفئة لماحة تتعامل مع المجتمع كله. المؤلف خالد الخميسي حاصل على ماجستير في العلوم السياسية من جامعة السوربون، إعلامي ومنتج ومخرج وكاتب سيناريو، له العديد من الدراسات الاجتماعية والسياسية، ويكتب في عدة صحف]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Verne's 1865 tale of a trip to the moon is (as you'd expect from Verne) great fun, even if bits of it now seem, in retrospect, a little strange. Our rocket ship gets shot out of a cannon? To the moon? Goodness! But in other ways it's full of eerie bits of business that turned out to be very near reality: he had the cost, when you adjust for inflation, almost exactly right. There are other similarities, too. Verne's cannon was named the Columbiad; the Apollo 11 command module was named Columbia. Apollo 11 had a three-person crew, just as Verne's did; and both blasted off from the American state of Florida. Even the return to earth happened in more-or-less the same place. Coincidence -- or fact!? We say you'll have to read this story yourself to judge.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[An adventurous geology professor chances upon a manuscript in which a 16th-century explorer claims to have found a route to the earth's core. Professor Lidenbrock can't resist the opportunity to investigate, and with his nephew Axel, he sets off across Iceland in the company of Hans Bjelke, a native guide. <br /><br />The expedition descends into an extinct volcano toward a sunless sea, where they encounter a subterranean world of luminous rocks, antediluvian forests, and fantastic marine life — a living past that holds the secrets to the origins of human existence.]]></book_description>
