A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man
A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man is a semi-autobiographical novel by James Joyce, first serialized in The Egoist from 1914 to 1915 and published in book form in 1916. It depicts the formative years in the life of Stephen Dedalus, a fictional alter ego of Joyce and a pointed allusion to the consummate craftsman of Greek mythology, Daedalus.A Portrait is a key example of the Künstlerroman (an artist's bildungsroman) in English literature. Joyce's novel traces the intellectual and religio-philosophical awakening of young Stephen Dedalus as he begins to question and rebel against the Catholic and Irish conventions he has been brought up in. He finally leaves for Paris to pursue his calling as an artist. The work pioneers some of Joyce's modernist techniques that would later come to fruition in Ulysses and Finnegans Wake. The Modern Library ranked Portrait as the third greatest English-language novel of the twentieth century.

Fifty-One Tales
Fifty-One Tales is a collection of fantasy short stories by Irish writer Lord Dunsany, considered a major influence on the work of J. R. R. Tolkien, H. P. Lovecraft, Ursula LeGuin and others. The first editions, in hardcover, were published simultaneously in London and New York by Elkin Mathews and Mitchell Kennerly, respectively, in April, 1915. The British and American editions differ in that they arrange the material slightly differently and that each includes a story the other omits; "The Poet Speaks with Earth" in the British version, and "The Mist" in the American version.The collection's significance in the history of fantasy literature was recognized by its republication (as The Food of Death: Fifty-One Tales) by the Newcastle Publishing Company as the third volume of the celebrated Newcastle Forgotten Fantasy Library in September, 1974. The Newcastle edition used the American version of the text.The book collects fifty-one short stories by the author.Source: Wikipedia

Four Just Men
These are stories of the Four Just Men, Edgar Wallace's famous characters known to the wider public principally as a result of the early television series of the same name. The source material is, of course, far removed from its celluloid derivative. Far from being set in the world post WW2, the original stories take place in the colourful period immediately following the Great War. The principal characters remain a refreshing antidote to stereotypical heroes for they are group of ruthless and dedicated vigilantes, disillusioned with a world where the wicked and the abusers of power perpetually go unpunished. The Just Men set about to rectify matters according to their own standards and retribution is dispensed on swift and deadly wings.

Goriot apó
Balzac maga nevezte regényének hősét, Goriot apót „az apaság krisztusának”. A mű ma is úgy él a köztudatban, mint egy szenvedő, kiszolgáltatott, mártírumot vállalt apa története, a lányai által kisemmizett, őket mégis az utolsó pillanatig szerető öregember regénye. A regény megértéséhez tudni kell, hogy a magára hagyott Goriot apót egyedül szánó, temetésén egyedül részt vevő Rastignac más Balzac-regényekben nagy karrieristaként szerepel, szalonok hőse, a legszebb nők kegyeltje, az élet igazi császára. Itt azok a vonásai állnak előtérben, amelyek megmagyarázhatják, hogy e talán legfontosabb balzaci hős miért egyúttal a leginkább komplex, jóból és rosszból legbonyolultabban „kikevert” alakja a szerző embergalériájának. Rastignac ugyanazon penzió lakója mint Goriot apó, éles szemmel hamar észreveszi azt is, hogy miért nem viszonozzák, miért nem viszonozhatják lányai apjuk szeretetét, milyen társadalmi – kötelező érvényű – mozgások irányítják még a legkisebb, legmeghittebb sejt, a család belvilágát is. Ugyancsak a penzió minuciózus leírásából kapunk először képet arról a Párizsról, amely a további darabok legfőbb színhelye, a „nagy” társadalomnak mintegy szimbóluma lesz. A regény vége, utolsó jelenete a világ regényirodalmának legtávlatosabb, legsejtelmesebb zárásai közé tartozik: Goriot apót eltemetve egy egész világ temetődik el. Rastignac híres szavai a temető hegyéről látható esti Párizshoz: „Most mirajtunk a sor!” – nemcsak saját pályája további küzdelmeit jelzik, nemcsak kihívást jelentenek, de új világok születésének próféciáját is.

Great Astronomers: Johannes Kepler
German astronomer Johannes Kepler (1571-1630) derived his mathematical laws of planetary motion from astronomical data meticulously collected by Tycho Brahe, who, as he was dying, beseeched young Kepler to use the data to discover the laws of motion of the planets. Based upon Kepler's laws, Sir Isaac Newton later developed his law of gravity.This is a chapter from Sir Robert Stawell Ball's Great Astronomers (2nd ed. 1907). Ball traces Kepler's life from birth in 1571 to death at age 59 in 1630. "Though Kepler had not those personal characteristics which have made his great predecessor, Tycho Brahe, such a romantic figure, yet a picturesque element in Kepler's character is not wanting. It was, however, of an intellectual kind. His imagination, as well as his reasoning faculties, always worked together. He was incessantly prompted by the most extraordinary speculations. The great majority of them were in a high degree wild and chimerical, but every now and then one of his fancies struck right to the heart of nature, and an immortal truth was brought to light."

Így írtok ti
Karinthy legismertebb, legnépszerűbb műve mindmáig az Így írtok ti. Ez a mű hozta meg számára az ismertséget, ezzel a könyvével aratta első igazi, nagy sikerét. A kávéházi játékokból, nemzedéktársainak kigúnyolásából alakult karikatúrasorozat idővel tudatos enciklopédiává bővült, s nemcsak a magyar szerzők arcképcsarnoka teljesedett ki, hanem világirodalmi és műfaji tematikával is gazdagodott. Máig ható sikerének titka, hogy Karinthy a célba vett írói egyéniség egész karakterét, az alkotói modor és modorosság torzképét rajzolta meg. Kötetünk a Még mindig így írtok ti méltán híres gyűjteményén túl a korabeli lapokban megjelent közlések legjobb gúnyrajzait is tartalmazza.

Japanese Fairy Tales
This collection of Japanese fairy tales is the outcome of a suggestion made to me indirectly through a friend by Mr. Andrew Lang. They have been translated from the modern version written by Sadanami Sanjin. These stories are not literal translations, and though the Japanese story and all quaint Japanese expressions have been faithfully preserved, they have been told more with the view to interest young readers of the West than the technical student of folk-lore.
