The Call of the Wild and White Fang
Two great American classics by Jack London in one volume
The Call of the Wild (1903)and White Fang (1906) are two classic American adventure novels depicting the evolution of two dogs in the wild. The novels are in fact mirror images of one another, as Call of the Wild depicts Buck's journey from domestic to wild dog, while White Fang recounts White Fang's transformation from wild beast to domestic companion. Both convey powerful themes of redemption and survival that continue to affect readers even today.
This elegantly designed clothbound edition features an elastic closure and a new introduction.

Call of the Wild and White Fang
"The Call Of The Wild" is the story of Buck, a dog stolen from his home and thrust into the merciless life of the Arctic north to endure hardship, bitter cold, and the savage lawlessness of man and beast. "White Fang" is the adventure of an animal -- part dog, part wolf --turned vicious by cruel abuse, then transformed by the patience and affection of one man. Jack London's superb ability as a storyteller and his uncanny understanding of animal and human natures give these tales a striking vitality and power, and have earned him a reputation as a distinguished American writer.

Women Who Run with Wolves: Myths and Stories of the Wild Woman Archetype
Within every woman there is a wild and natural creature, a powerful force, filled with good instincts, passionate creativity, and ageless knowing. Her name is Wild Woman, but she is an endangered species. Though the gifts of wildish nature come to us at birth, society's attempt to "civilize" us into rigid roles has plundered this treasure, and muffled the deep, life-giving messages of our own souls. Without Wild Woman, we become over-domesticated, fearful, uncreative, trapped. Clarissa Pinkola Estes, Ph.D., Jungian analyst and cantadora storyteller, shows how woman's vitality can be restored through what she calls "psychic archeological digs" into the bins of the female unconscious. In Women Who Run with the Wolves, Dr. Estes uses multicultural myths, fairy tales, folk tales, and stories chosen from over twenty years of research that help women reconnect with the healthy, instinctual, visionary attributes of the Wild Woman archetype. Dr. Estes collects the bones of many stories, looking for the archetypal motifs that set a woman's inner life into motion. "La Loba" teaches about the transformative function of the psyche. In "Bluebeard," we learn what to do with wounds that will not heal; in "Skeleton Woman," we glimpse the mystical power of relationship and how dead feelings can be revived; "Vasalisa the Wise" brings our lost womanly instincts to the surface again; "The Handless Maiden" recovers the Wild Woman initiation rites; and "The Little Match Girl" warns against the insidious dangers of a life spent in fantasy. In these and other stories, we focus on the many qualities of Wild Woman. We retrieve, examine, love, and understand her, and hold her against our deep psyches as one whois both magic and medicine. In Women Who Run with the Wolves, Dr. Estes has created a new lexicon for describing the female psyche. Fertile and lifegiving, it is a psychology of women in the truest sense, a knowing of the soul.
The Call of the Wild and White Fang
Two of Jack London's best-loved masterpieces. Call of the Wild tells a compelling tale of adventure during the Yukon Gold Rush, and captures the unquenchable spirit of Buck, a kidnapped dog trying to survive in the harshest of environments. White Fang follows the savage life of a magnificent half wolf, half dog.

Az egyszerű vadon 1: The Simple Wild
A sors ismétli önmagát?
Calla Fletcher kétéves volt, amikor az édesanyja vele együtt elmenekült az alaszkai vadon és az elszigetelt vidéki életmód kihívásai elől, és elhagyta Calla apját, Wren Fletchert. Calla sosem nézett vissza, és huszonhat évesen a mozgalmas torontói életen kívül nem ismer mást. Amikor azonban az apja felveszi vele a kapcsolatot, és tudatja, hogy súlyos beteg, a lány tudja, hogy ideje megtennie a hosszú utat a határmenti elhagyatott kisvárosba, ahol született.
Calla szembenéz a mászkáló vadakkal, a különös nappali órákkal, az elképesztő bolti árakkal, és időnként még – szent ég! – a kinti pottyantós vécével is, cserébe, hogy megismerhesse az apját: a férfit, akivel a rengeteg hibája ellenére is újra törődni kezd.
Ám miközben nagy küzdelmek árán igyekszik hozzászokni a sarkközeli éghajlathoz és az otthonitól teljesen eltérő életritmushoz, Jonah – egy csendes, cinikus és büszke alaszkai pilóta, aki Calla apjának repülős vállalatát, a Vadont működteti – alig várja az elkényeztetett városi lány bukását. Meggyőződése ugyanis, hogy Calla túlságosan kényes ahhoz, hogy megbirkózzon a vadonnal.
Jonahnak feltehetőleg igaza van, de Calla eltökéli, hogy bebizonyítja a tévedését. Aztán váratlanul azon kapja magát, hogy elmélyül a kapcsolata a robosztus pilótával. Ahogy a férfi rejtett megvetése egyre halványul, barátság veszi át a helyét – vagy talán valami mélyebb is? De Calla nem azért jött Alaszkába, hogy maradjon, Jonah pedig sosem fogja otthagyni a helyet, ami az élete. Ostobaság lenne mindkettejük részéről románcba kezdeni, és ugyanarra az útra lépni, amivel Calla szülei is megpróbálkoztak – és kudarcot vallottak – évekkel korábban.
Egy egyszerű igazság, amiről kiderül, hogy nem is olyan egyszerű.

River Wild
Nové město. Nová identita. Těhotná a bez pomoci.
Na útěku před minulostí, která mě nikdy nesmí znovu najít.
River Wild.
Náladový. Nevypočitatelný. Zmetek.
Tak to je můj nový soused.
O přátelství s Riverem nemám sebemenší zájem. Stejně tak on o mě nezavadí pohledem.
Jednoho dne mi ale pomůže zachránit opuštěného psa. Ten den jsem v jeho očích spatřila cosi, co moc dobře znám. Smutek. Bolest. Osamělost.
Tyhle věci jsou pro mě denním chlebem.
I když ani jeden z nás o přátelství nestojí, osud nás přivede k sobě. A potom, jako blesk z čistého nebe, už z nás nejsou jenom přátelé, ale něco víc.
River a já máme každý svoje tajemství. Kostlivce ve skříni. Ale to nám nestojí v cestě. On rozumí mně. A já rozumím jemu.
Poprvé v životě zažívám něco, o čem jsem dosud slyšela jenom v pohádkách – štěstí.
Jenomže žádné štěstí netrvá navěky. Ne pro lidi, jako jsem já.
Moje minulost je mi v patách, slídí, čeká a připravuje se na ten správný okamžik, aby mi to všechno vyrvala z náručí.

The Call of Cthulhu
"The Call of Cthulhu" is one of H. P. Lovecraft's best-known short stories. Written in the summer of 1926, it was first published in Weird Tales, February 1928. It is the only story written by Lovecraft in which the extraterrestrial entity Cthulhu himself makes a major appearance.It is written in a documentary style, with three independent narratives linked together by the device of a narrator discovering notes left by a deceased relative. The narrator pieces together the whole truth and disturbing significance of the information he possesses, illustrating the story's first line: "The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity; and it was not meant that we should voyage far."

The Call of the Tribe
In The Call of the Tribe, Mario Vargas Llosa surveys the readings that have shaped the way he thinks and has viewed the world over the past fifty years. The Nobel Laureate maps out the liberal thinkers who helped him develop a new body of ideas after the great ideological traumas of his disenchantment with the Cuban Revolution and departure from the ideas of Jean-Paul Sartre, the author who most inspired Vargas Llosa in his youth.
Writers like Adam Smith, Friedrich A. Hayek, Karl Popper and Isaiah Berlin helped the author navigate through these uneasy years of intellectual formation. They showed him another school of thought that placed the individual before the tribe, nation, class or party, and defended freedom of expression as a fundamental value for the exercise of democracy. The Call of the Tribe documents Vargas Llosa's engagement with their work and charts the evolution of his personal and philosophical ideology.
Mario Vargas Llosa is one of the world's greatest living novelists, but, as Clive James wrote in Cultural Amnesia, his 'true strength' is 'undoubtedly in the essay'.
