Εκδοση:2009 Σελίδες:344 Καλή κατάσταση. Περιγραφή: In this beguiling retelling of the classic Pygmallion, we meet Lucy Ellis, a Manhattan transplant who dreams of making it as a fashion designer but instead toils away on a Garment District assembly line. Poor Lucy is starting to think the unthinkable: maybe it's time to pack it in and move home to Minnesota. Then, during a torrntial downpour, at her most bedraggled and disheartened, Lucy meets Wyatt Hayes IV, man-about-town and bored Ph.D. anthropologist. Wyatt has just been publicly dissed by New York's reigning socialite and boasts to his best friend that he can transform any woman-even a trailer-born nobody like Lucy- into this year's "it" girl. Set against the gold-plated world of Manhattan's social elite, The Overnight Socialite, a media sensation in its own right, puts a witty tewnty-first century spin on a timeless story of transformation and unlikely love.

Συγγραφέας: Χέμινγουαιη Ερνέστ

Εκδόσεις: Touchstone

Εκδοση:2000 Σελίδες:242 Μέτρια κατάσταση. Κιτρινισμένα φύλλα. Περιγραφή: From childhood on, Ernest Hemingway was a passionate fisherman.

In A Moveable Feast, Hemingway speaks of sitting in a cafe in Paris and writinhg about what he knew best - and when it came time to stop, he "did not want to leave the river".

Συγγραφέας: Gide Andre

Εκδόσεις: Penguin Books

Εκδοση:1952 Σελίδες:128 Μέτρια κατάσταση. Κιτρινισμένα φύλλα. Βιβλίο τσέπης.

Goethe Student's Guides to European Literature - [Used]

Συγγραφέας: Lamport F.J.

Εκδόσεις: Heinemann Educ.

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.
