Penguin Books

Εκδοση:1952 Σελίδες:128 Μέτρια κατάσταση. Κιτρινισμένα φύλλα. Βιβλίο τσέπης. Περιγραφή: Gide's powerful story of a young love blighted by religious dedication Two cousins, Alissa and Jerome, grow up together and fall in love. Then Alissa begins to believe that Jerome's love for her is imperilling his soul. And thus, in the interests of Jerome's salvation, she sets out to suppress everything that is beautiful in herself-both in mind and body. Strait is the Gate is a devastating exploration of the destructive force of spirituality allowed to grow to excess. Regarded by many as the most perfect piece of writing that Gide ever achieved, its simplicity, craftsmanship, limpidity of style and power to stimulate the mind and emotions combine to create a novel of genius.

Armed with scandalous, provocative memories, the handsome, vengeful nobleman blackmails his former lover into a most illicit affair...and reignites the raging fire that once consumed them both. But by losing themselves in the throes of erotic ecstasy reborn, Nathan and Cassandra are courting gravest danger—vulnerable to a past that threatens to destroy their lives and passion still; at risk from dark, unspoken secrets that are shockingly, perilously...taboo.

Εκδοση:1979 Σελίδες:122 Πολύ καλή κατάσταση. Βιβλίο τσέπης. Περιγραφή: This study of Johann Wolfang Goethe traces the broad periods of his long life - the early phase of Sturm und Drang, the first Weimar period from 1775 to 1786, the 'classical' period of the Italian journey and collaboration with Schiller, and the other Goethe of 1806 onwards. Within each period the author discusses those works which were conceived at that time, even if their completion was delayed, such as the plays Egmont, Iphigenie and Tasso. Faust, however, is considered in stages, since it spanned all four periods of Goethe's creative life. Translations are provided for each quotation. F.J. Lamport is a Fellow of Worcester College, Oxford and lecturer in German in the university. He has published a volume of classical German drama, Five German Tragedies, and is working on translations of Schiller's Rauber and Wallenstein.
