Abstract: Кирджали был родом булгар. Кирджали на турецком языке значит витязь, удалец. Настоящего его имени я не знаю. Кирджали своими разбоями наводил ужас на всю Молдавию. Чтоб дать об нем некоторое понятие, расскажу один из его подвигов. Однажды ночью он и арнаут Михайлаки напали вдвоем на булгарское селение. Они зажгли его с двух концов и стали переходить из хижины в хижину.

Abstract: Charsky used every possible endeavour to rid himself of the intolerable appellation. He avoided the society of his literary brethren, and preferred to them the men of the world, even the most shallow-minded: but that did not help him. His conversation was of the most commonplace character, and never turned upon literature. In his dress he always observed the very latest fashion, with the timidity and superstition of a young Moscovite arriving in St. Petersburg for the first time in his life. In his study, furnished like a lady's bedroom, nothing recalled the writer; no books littered the table; the divan was not stained with ink; there was none of that disorder which denotes the presence of the Muse and the absence of broom and brush.

Abstract: Молодой и успешный поэт Чарский чувствует приближение вдохновения, когда в его петербургскую квартиру входит приезжий итальянец в истёртом платье, напоминающий шарлатана.

Abstract: В конце 1811 года, в эпоху нам достопамятную, жил в своем поместье Ненарадове добрый Гаврила Гаврилович. Он славился во всей округе гостеприимством и радушием; соседи поминутно ездили к нему поесть, попить, поиграть по пяти копеек в бостон с его женою, а некоторые для того, чтоб поглядеть на дочку их, Марью Гавриловну, стройную, бледную и семнадцатилетнюю девицу. Она считалась богатой невестою, и многие прочили ее за себя или за сыновей.

Cittadino della Repubblica di Venezia, parte delle sue opere sono state scritte anche nell'idioma locale: in questa selezione, oltre a due suoi capolavori, "La locandiera" e la "Bottega del caffè", presentiamo anche un'opera con protagonista Arlecchino (Truffaldino ne "Il servitore di due padroni").

Abstract: Gli amori, le passioni, i segreti, le perversioni delle donne che hanno legato la loro storia a quella di John Fitzgerald Kennedy. Marylin Monroe, Jackie Onassis, Maria Callas, affascinanti e desiderate, invidiate ed emulate, sono le donne messe a nudo nella tragica ricostruzione di vite turbate, malate, impaurite, abbandonate. Come lo scienziato Albert Einstein, sogno segreto di Marilyn, che non solo fu una donna in anticipo con i tempi, ma amava profondamente la cultura e la poesia, prediligendo Joyce, Camus e Dostoevskij. Oppure scoprire che fu Ted Kennedy probabilmente il vero grande amore di Jackie. E Maria Callas innamorata di Pier Paolo Pasolini con un amore che andò oltre gli stereotipi, morta di crepacuore per il tradimento di Onassis. Infine un cameo: le pagine sconvolgenti su Lady D. Dall'uomo alla guida della Uno Bianca che speronò l'auto di Dody e Diana a Parigi fino alla terribile frase di Grace Kelly: "Andando avanti sarà peggio!".

Abstract: A collection of four short fantasy stories, including: The Flower Princess, The Little Friend, The Mermaid's Child and The Ten Blowers.There is a beautiful Princess named Fleurette, who loves flowers. She lives in a marble palace on a hill. Many princes come from near and wide and become enamoured with her beauty and seek her hand in marriage. But Fleurette tells each of the princes that if he wants to marry her he has to tell her what her favourite flower is.She tells them "I have no mind to exchange hearts, save with him who can find mine, where it is hidden among my flowers. Guess me my favourite flower, dear Prince, and I am yours." As yet, no prince has been successful in naming her favourite flower.Princess Fleurette loves the flowers in her palace garden, so much so, that every morning before the palace has risen, she visits her garden. She greets each one affectionately and basks in their beauty as well as savours the perfume of her blooms. She takes good care of them, removing the weeds and dead-heads the withered flowers. Even though she has gardeners, she does whatever needs to be done. Once done, she returns to the palace for breakfast.One morning while she is in the garden, a handsome youth, clad in green, named Joyeuse appears. He is a minstrel, a swordsman and herbalist.. Princess Fleurette is quite taken aback because of this intrusion into her personal space. Joyeuse has is unaware he is speaking to the Princess and thinks her to be one of the palace maidens.The Princess has a liking for Joyeuse and gives him tasks to determine if he is authentic, and capable of performing the tasks he claims to be proficient in. When she pricked her finger on a rose thorn, she asked him how he will cure her, and he tells her what to put on her finger. The next day there is no trace that her finger was ever injured. She asks him to play music and he plays beautiful music which delights her no end. The next time they meet she requests he teach her how to play to prove his worth as a teacher, and once again he delivers. They are so engrossed in what they are doing that time passes and a gardener appears. The Princess flees and Joyeuse is arrested for trespassing.The next morning he appeared before the court and realised the maiden was no ordinary maiden at all. Even though he isn't a prince, Joyeuse takes the opportunity to ask for her hand in marriage. The Princess consults her advisers and they tell her that Joyeuse has to prove that is courageous. Being an expert swordsman, he easily does this without harming his opponent.Overnight he analysed what the princess had said when telling suitors how they can win her hand in marriage, and in doing so he realises something that other suitors have not yet discovered and that that the morning glory has to be her favourite flower.When asked by the Princess he announces what he believes the favourite flower to be. But, is he correct? Does he become a Prince or is he thrown out of the palace?KEYWORDS/TAGS: The Flower Princess, Little Friend, Mermaid's Child, Ten Blowers, Folklore, fairy tale, myth, legend, fable, childrens story, storyteller, baby, beauty, blonde, Child, Christmas, dove, fair, family, Fleurette, flower, Fortemain, garden, Gil, heart, hill, Jan, Joyeuse, King, lost love, Mermaid, merry, morning mother, music, palace, Pierre, Prince, Princess, race, Sea-child, secret, snow, Stork, strange, throne, time, village, voice, words, Let Him Prove It, Princess Fleurette, Clap Her Hands, Joy, Help Comes, Blow For Our King,

Abstract: A gripping adventure of new worlds and unknown alliances.Hard work on an aqua-farm orbiting beyond Jupiter with her plurapod companion Les suits Seetha Deergathca just fine.Calvin Seuma spends his days tending the fisher fleet on distant Ajar 12, working the seas with his plurapod friend Bel and aquatic Ajarans.A strange harvest awaits. One with ancient and dangerous origins.Can they survive a threat from light years beyond the range of humanity?An excerpt from Plurapod Pathogen:A Deadly Threat Out of Nowhere"We need to figure out what happened," Seetha said. "Did you get a chance to re-check the seaweed flats?""I did not. I will as soon as I can.""Not during rest days you won't, Les. I'm sure you kept a sample of the spoiled seed. I'll take it up to the main platform lab tomorrow."Cold, seaweed-scented water splashed along Seetha's legs and back. Les held two of hir tentacle hands on the surface, ready to send more after it."Rest days apply to humans as well.""Don't worry, I'll rest. Besides, you're impossible once you're out of your routines. You fretting over empty growing space would drive me crazy."Les shifted from side to side in the tank, somehow managing not to slop water out. A plurapod version of pacing."Whatever this is may incubate and show up elsewhere later. As long as you do not spend all day working, I suppose that is acceptable.""Thank you for your approval, my dear Les. I'll return as soon as possible, solution in hand."
