A nightingale overhears a student complaining that his professor’s daughter will not dance with him, as he is unable to give her a red rose. The nightingale visits all the rose-trees in the garden, and one of the white roses tell (More) her that there’s a way to produce a red rose, but only if the nightingale is prepared to sing the sweetest song for the rose all night, and sacrifice her life to do so. Seeing the student in tears, the nightingale carries out the ritual, and impales herself on the rose-tree’s thorn so that her heart’s blood can stain the rose. The student takes the rose to the professor’s daughter, but she again rejects him because another man has sent her some real jewels, and “everybody knows that jewels cost far more than flowers.” The student angrily throws the rose into the gutter, returns to his study of metaphysics, and decides not to believe in true love anymore.

Harry Potter thinks he is an ordinary boy. He lives with his Uncle Vernon, Aunt Petunia and cousin Dudley, who make him sleep in a cupboard under the stairs.
Harry Potter is due to start his fifth year at Hogwarts School of (More) Witchcraft and Wizardry. He is desperate to find out why his friends, Ron and Hermione, have been secretive all summer. But before he even gets to school, Harry survives a terrifying encounter with two Dementors, attends a court hearing at the Ministry of Magic and is escorted on a night-time broomstick ride to the secret headquarters of a mysterious group called the Order of the Phoenix.

Giovannino Guareschi (1908 – 1968) è stato uno scrittore, giornalista, caricaturista e umorista italiano. È uno degli scrittori italiani più venduti nel mondo: oltre 20 milioni di copie, nonché lo scrittore italiano più tradotto (More) in assoluto.
La sua creazione più nota, anche per le trasposizioni cinematografiche, è Don Camillo, il “robusto” parroco che parla col Cristo dell’altare maggiore, che ha come antagonista Peppone, l’agguerrito sindaco comunista del paese immaginario di Ponteratto (sul grande schermo Brescello, nella Bassa reggiana).
Il Ciclo del “Mondo Piccolo” che contiene tutte le storie di don Camillo e Peppone vide la luce per la prima volta in forma di 346 racconti, dai quali poi vennero tratti libri e film.
In questo quinto e ultimo volume riportiamo i racconti dal 285 al 346.

La paz en el norte de Britania hace tiempo que no es más que una ilusión. Las tribus bárbaras del otro lado del muro de Adriano son cada vez más agresivas y amenazan con invadir el territorio romano, de manera que al emperador, (More) Septimio Severo, no le queda más opción que atacarlas con su poderoso ejército.
Memnón sirve en una unidad de caballería auxiliar, y está especializado en rastrear el terreno. El soldado se toma esta invasión como todo en la vida: de forma ligera y sin pensar demasiado en las consecuencias. Pero, nada más llegar a la isla, se ve obligado a salvar la vida al secretario personal del emperador y a una de las sirvientas de la emperatriz, que han sido capturados por los bárbaros.
Será entonces cuando comience a vislumbrar las batallas internas de la corte, las intrigas y traiciones que pueden dar al traste no sólo con la campaña del emperador, sino también con la misma vida de Memnón. Dependerá entonces de la ayuda de sus amigos, de su propia astucia y su capacidad de supervivencia si quiere evitar una masacre que amenaza con llevar una guerra civil a las mismas calles de Roma.
Gillian Bradshaw, autora de la aclamada EL FARO DE ALEJANDRÍA, vuelve a sorprendernos con una historia apasionante, que nos trasladará una época tan desconocida como atractiva.

L’opera fu scritta tra il 1855 e il giugno 1857 e pubblicato in fascicoli mensili (come quasi tutte le opere dell’autore) dal 1º dicembre 1855 al 1857. Esso è diviso in due libri: Povertà, in cui si parla delle misere condizioni (More) della famiglia Dorrit, la cui madre è morta e il padre è in carcere per debiti, e della bontà della piccola Amy; si introducono inoltre vari personaggi, fra i quali alcuni dei principali sono Arthur Clennam e l’energico e attivo Mr. Pancks, grazie all’aiuto del quale la famiglia Dorrit esce di prigione e diventa ricca, e Ricchezza, in cui spicca il racconto della famiglia Dorrit e della sua elevata condizione economica.

Original Play with modern translation.
As You Like It is a pastoral comedy by William Shakespeare believed to have been written in 1599 or early 1600 and first published in the First Folio, 1623. The play’s first performance is (More) uncertain, though a performance at Wilton House in 1603 has been suggested as a possibility. As You Like It follows its heroine Rosalind as she flees persecution in her uncle’s court, accompanied by her cousin Celia to find safety and, eventually, love, in the Forest of Arden. In the forest, they encounter a variety of memorable characters, notably the melancholy traveller Jaques who speaks many of Shakespeare’s most famous speeches (such as “All the world’s a stage” and “A fool! A fool! I met a fool in the forest”). Jaques provides a sharp contrast to the other characters in the play, always observing and disputing the hardships of life in the country. Historically, critical response has varied, with some critics finding the work of lesser quality than other Shakespearean works and some finding the play a work of great merit.

Anthony Trollope is a leading literary figure of the Victorian age, having not only written novels, but also varied works such as sketches, plays, biographies and classical studies. This enormous eBook offers readers the unique (More) opportunity of exploring the prolific writer’s complete works in a manner never before possible.

We are proud to release an electronic edition of the New American Bible: Revised Edition (NABRE), which features an excellent formatting true to the paper edition and multiple navigation aids, which allow opening any verse in the (More) Bible in seconds (as explained in detail in the book itself; this feature is not supported by Kindle Fire). Note however that Kindle Fire does not support some of the navigation aids. All material, including footnotes, is preserved and crossreferenced within the text. This is the one electronic Bible that every believer must have because it is more convenient and faster to use than the paper edition.
The NABRE accomplishes three major goals in Biblical scholarship: First, a more accurate translation aided by modern archeological and historical discoveries; second, a more consistent rendering of the Greek and Hebrew to more closely express the meaning of the original text; and third, revisions in the NABRE reflect changes in modern English usage of particular words.

Cyrano de Bergerac (conosciuto in Italia anche come Cirano di Bergerac) è una celebre commedia teatrale in cinque atti pubblicata nel 1897 dal poeta drammatico francese Edmond Rostand (1868-1918) e ispirata alla figura storica di (More) Savinien Cyrano de Bergerac, uno dei più estrosi scrittori del seicento francese, precursore della letteratura fantascientifica.
Il Cyrano di Rostand fu rappresentato per la prima volta il 28 dicembre di quello stesso 1897 al Théâtre de la Porte-Sain-Martin di Parigi, avendo come protagonista un celebre attore del tempo, Benoît-Constant Coquelin, lo stesso che glielo aveva commissionato. Rostand lo scrisse a cinque anni di distanza dalla clamorosa bocciatura, avvenuta appunto nel 1892, di un suo precedente (e primo in assoluto) lavoro in versi, Le deus Pierrots, espressamente scritto per la Comédie-Française.

La Universidad, el bastión del conocimiento, atrae a las mentes más brillantes, que acuden para aprender los misterios de ciencias como la artificería y la alquimia. Sin embargo, bajo esos edificios y sus concurridas aulas existe (More) un mundo en penumbra, cuya existencia sólo unos pocos conocen.
En ese laberinto de túneles antiguos, de salas y habitaciones abandonadas, de escaleras serpenteantes y pasillos semiderruidos vive Auri. Tiempo atrás fue alumna de la Universidad. Ahora cuida de la Subrealidad, para ella un lugar acogedor, maravilloso, en el que podría pasarse la eternidad mirando. Ha aprendido que hay otros misterios que no conviene remover; es mejor dejarlos en paz y a salvo. Ya no se deja engañar por la lógica en la que tanto confían en lo alto: ella sabe reconocer los sutiles peligros y los nombres olvidados que se ocultan bajo la superficie de las cosas.
