A kalózkirály


A kalózkirály sietős vázlat egy jobb sorsra érdemes romantikus hőstípusról és esztelen kalandokban eltékozolt életéről. Jókai még ebben a magasabb igény nélkül odavetett munkában is megajándékozza az olvasót a költőiség egy pillanatával, egy balladás dallal, amely beépül a cselekménybe, szimbolikusan jellemzi a hősök alapviszonyait, és a népiesség árnyalatával élénkíti a vadromantikus képsorozatot.

A Room of One's Own


A Room of One's Own is an extended essay by Virginia Woolf. First published on 24 October 1929, the essay was based on a series of lectures she delivered at Newnham College and Girton College, two women's colleges at Cambridge University in October 1928. While this extended essay in fact employs a fictional narrator and narrative to explore women both as writers of and characters in fiction, the manuscript for the delivery of the series of lectures, titled "Women and Fiction", and hence the essay, are considered non-fiction. The essay is generally seen as a feminist text, and is noted in its argument for both a literal and figural space for women writers within a literary tradition dominated by patriarchy.

A Sentimental Journey


A Sentimental Journey Through France and Italy is a novel by the Irish-born English author Laurence Sterne, written and first published in 1768, as Sterne was facing death. In 1765 Laurence Sterne travelled through France and Italy as far south as Naples, and after returning determined to describe his travels from a sentimental point of view. The novel can be seen as an epilogue to the possibly unfinished work The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman, and also as an answer to Tobias Smollett's decidedly unsentimental Travels through France and Italy. (Sterne met Smollett during his travels in Europe, and strongly objected to his spleen, acerbity and quarrelsomeness. He modeled the character of Smelfungus on him.)The novel was extremely popular and influential and helped establish travel writing as the dominant genre of the second half of the 18th century. Unlike prior travel accounts which stressed classical learning and objective non-personal points of view, A Sentimental Journey emphasized the subjective discussions of personal taste and sentiments, of manners and morals over classical learning. Throughout the 1770s women travel writers began publishing significant numbers of sentimental travel accounts. Sentiment also became a favorite style among those expressing non-mainstream views including political radicalism.The narrator is the Reverend Mr. Yorick, who is slyly represented to guileless readers as Sterne's barely disguised alter ego. The book recounts his various adventures, usually of the amorous type, in a series of self-contained episodes. The book is less eccentric and more elegant in style than Tristram Shandy and was better received by contemporary critics. It was published on February 27, and on March 18 Sterne died.

All's Well That Ends Well


All's Well That Ends Well is a play by William Shakespeare, originally classified as a comedy, though now often counted as one of his problem plays, so-called because they cannot be easily classified as tragedy or comedy. It was probably written in later middle part of Shakespeare's career, between 1601 and 1608, and was first published in the First Folio in 1623.The name of the play comes from the proverb All's well that ends well, which means that problems do not matter so long as the outcome is good.

Egy ember, aki mindent tud


A dilettantizmus okozta fiaskó végez a másik beszély hősével, gróf Rengeteghy Ottóval. Ő az a bizonyos Egy ember, aki mindent tud. Katonai pályáján és a szerelemben eléri, amit akar. De egyszer „választóvizet” (salétromsavat) töltenek az italába, és ettől olyan helyzetekbe keveredik, amelyeket Jókai fergeteges humorral tud megírni. A spiritizmusról és a „cikográpról” szóló bekezdések Karinthyéval egybevethető komikus tehetségéről árulkodnak. Mulattatóak, számunkra – akaratlan célzásaik miatt – különösen aktuálisak a gyapottermesztés magyarországi csődjét meg a jak-tenyésztés nehézségeit ábrázoló, swifti gúnyra emlékeztető példák. Úgy tűnik föl, hogy Jókai akár Kemény Zsigmondnál, akár későbbi követőinél messzebbre jutott el a különféle „ködképek” fölismerésében és leleplezésében.
