Set in the far future amidst a sprawling feudal interstellar empire where planetary dynasties are controlled by noble houses that owe an allegiance to the imperial House Corrino, Dune tells the story of young Paul Atreides (the heir apparent to Duke Leto Atreides and heir of House Atreides) as he and his family accept control of the desert planet Arrakis, the only source of the 'spice' melange, the most important and valuable substance in the cosmos. The story explores the complex, multi-layered interactions of politics, religion, ecology, technology, and human emotion as the forces of the empire confront each other for control of Arrakis.Published in 1965, it won the Hugo Award in 1966 and the inaugural Nebula Award for Best Novel. Dune is frequently cited as the world's best-selling sf novel.

An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations, generally referred to by its shortened title The Wealth of Nations, is the magnum opus of the Scottish economist and moral philosopher Adam Smith. First published in 1776, the book offers one of the world's first collected descriptions of what builds nations' wealth, and is today a fundamental work in classical economics. By reflecting upon the economics at the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, the book touches upon such broad topics as the division of labour, productivity, and free markets.

Nelson Mandela is one of the great moral and political leaders of our time: an international hero whose lifelong dedication to the fight against racial oppression in South Africa won him the Nobel Peace Prize and the presidency of his country. Since his triumphant release in 1990 from more than a quarter-century of imprisonment, Mandela has been at the center of the most compelling and inspiring political drama in the world. As president of the African National Congress and head of South Africa's anti-apartheid movement, he was instrumental in moving the nation toward multiracial government and majority rule. He is revered everywhere as a vital force in the fight for human rights and racial equality. The foster son of a Thembu chief, Mandela was raised in the traditional, tribal culture of his ancestors, but at an early age learned the modern, inescapable reality of what came to be called apartheid, one of the most powerful and effective systems of oppression ever conceived. In classically elegant and engrossing prose, he tells of his early years as an impoverished student and law clerk in a Jewish firm in Johannesburg, of his slow political awakening, and of his pivotal role in the rebirth of a stagnant ANC and the formation of its Youth League in the 1950s. He describes the struggle to reconcile his political activity with his devotion to his family, the anguished breakup of his first marriage, and the painful separations from his children. He brings vividly to life the escalating political warfare in the fifties between the ANC and the government, culminating in his dramatic escapades as an underground leader and the notorious Rivonia Trial of 1964, at which he was sentenced to life imprisonment. Herecounts the surprisingly eventful twenty-seven years in prison and the complex, delicate negotiations that led both to his freedom and to the beginning of the end of apartheid. Finally he provides the ultimate inside account.

Sensational, dramatic, packed with rich excitement and filled with the sweep and violence of human passions, LES MISERABLES is not only superb adventure but a powerful social document. The story of how the convict Jean-Valjean struggled to escape his past and reaffirm his humanity, in a world brutalized by poverty and ignorance, became the gospel of the poor and the oppressed.

The strange and wonderful tale of man’s experiences on Mars, filled with intense images and astonishing visions. Now part of the Voyager Classics collection.The Martian Chronicles tells the story of humanity’s repeated attempts to colonize the red planet. The first men were few. Most succumbed to a disease they called the Great Loneliness when they saw their home planet dwindle to the size of a fist. They felt they had never been born. Those few that survived found no welcome on Mars.

George Orwell's timeless and timely allegorical novel—a scathing satire on a downtrodden society’s blind march towards totalitarianism.“All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.”A farm is taken over by its overworked, mistreated animals. With flaming idealism and stirring slogans, they set out to create a paradise of progress, justice, and equality. Thus the stage is set for one of the most telling satiric fables ever penned—a razor-edged fairy tale for grown-ups that records the evolution from revolution against tyranny to a totalitarianism just as terrible.  When Animal Farm was first published, Stalinist Russia was seen as its target. Today it is devastatingly clear that wherever and whenever freedom is attacked, under whatever banner, the cutting clarity and savage comedy of George Orwell’s masterpiece have a meaning and message still ferociously fresh.

The terrifyingly prophetic novel of a post-literate future.Guy Montag is a fireman. His job is to burn books, which are forbidden, being the source of all discord and unhappiness. Even so, Montag is unhappy; there is discord in his marriage. Are books hidden in his house? The Mechanical Hound of the Fire Department, armed with a lethal hypodermic, escorted by helicopters, is ready to track down those dissidents who defy society to preserve and read books.The classic dystopian novel of a post-literate future, Fahrenheit 451 stands alongside Orwell’s 1984 and Huxley’s Brave New World as a prophetic account of Western civilization’s enslavement by the media, drugs and conformity.Bradbury’s powerful and poetic prose combines with uncanny insight into the potential of technology to create a novel which, decades on from first publication, still has the power to dazzle and shock.--back cover

Brave New World is a dystopian novel by English author Aldous Huxley, written in 1931 and published in 1932. Largely set in a futuristic World State, inhabited by genetically modified citizens and an intelligence-based social hierarchy, the novel anticipates huge scientific advancements in reproductive technology, sleep-learning, psychological manipulation and classical conditioning that are combined to make a dystopian society which is challenged by only a single individual: the story's protagonist.

[Penguin Readers Level 4]Winston Smith lives in a society where the government controls people every second of the day. He fights this world with love. But it's dangerous: love for another person can be punished by death - and Big Brother is always watching.Orwell's classic story shows that there is no freedom unless ideas and beliefs can be questioned. This is as true today as when it was written, more than fifty years ago.

TheFoundationseriesis a science fiction book series written by American author Isaac Asimov. First collected in 1951, for thirty years the series was a trilogy:Foundation,Foundation and Empire, andSecond Foundation. It won the one-time Hugo Award for "Best All-Time Series" in 1966. Asimov began adding new volumes in 1981, with two sequels:Foundation's Edge,Foundation and Earth, and two prequels:Prelude to Foundation,Forward the Foundation. The additions made reference to events in Asimov'sRobotandEmpireseries, indicating that they were also set in the same fictional universe.The premise of the stories is that, in the waning days of a future Galactic Empire, the mathematician Hari Seldon spends his life developing a theory of psychohistory, a new and effective mathematical sociology. Using statistical laws of mass action, it can predict the future of large populations. Seldon foresees the imminent fall of the Empire, which encompasses the entire Milky Way, and a dark age lasting 30,000 years before a second empire arises. Although the inertia of the Empire's fall is too great to stop, Seldon devises a plan by which "the onrushing mass of events must be deflected just a little" to eventually limit this interregnum to just one thousand years. To implement his plan, Seldon creates the Foundations – two groups of scientists and engineers settled at opposite ends of the galaxy – to preserve the spirit of science and civilization, and thus become the cornerstones of the new galactic empire.

The desert planet of Arrakis has begun to grow green and lush. The life-giving spice is abundant. The nine-year-old royal twins, possesing their father's supernatural powers, are being groomed as Messiahs.But there are those who think the Imperium does not need messiahs...

Dune Messiah continues the story of the man Muad'dib, heir to a power unimaginable, bringing to completion the centuries-old scheme to create a super-being."Brilliant...It is all that Dune was, and maybe a little bit more."--Galaxy Magazine

For twelve thousand years the Galactic Empire has ruled supreme. Now it is dying. But only Hari Seldon, creator of the revolutionary science of psychohistory, can see into the future -- to a dark age of ignorance, barbarism, and warfare that will last thirty thousand years. To preserve knowledge and save mankind, Seldon gathers the best minds in the Empire -- both scientists and scholars -- and brings them to a bleak planet at the edge of the Galaxy to serve as a beacon of hope for a future generations. He calls his sanctuary the Foundation.But soon the fledgling Foundation finds itself at the mercy of corrupt warlords rising in the wake of the receding Empire. Mankind's last best hope is faced with an agonizing choice: submit to the barbarians and be overrun -- or fight them and be destroyed.

A THOUSAND-YEAR EPIC, A GALACTIC STRUGGLE, A MONUMENTAL WORK IN THE ANNALS OF SCIENCE FICTION FOUNDATION begins a new chapter in the story of man's future. As the Old Empire crumbles into barbarism throughout the million worlds of the galaxy, Hari Seldon and his band of psychologists must create a new entity, the Foundation-dedicated to art, science, and technology-as the beginning of a new empire. FOUNDATION AND EMPIRE describes the mighty struggle for power amid the chaos of the stars in which man stands at the threshold of a new enlightened life which could easily be destroyed by the old forces of barbarism. SECOND FOUNDATION follows the Seldon Plan after the First Empire's defeat and describes its greatest threat-a dangerous mutant strain gone wild, which produces a mind capable of bending men's wills, directing their thoughts, reshaping their desires, and destroying the universe.

Foundation and Empire tells the incredible story of a new breed of man who create a new force for galactic government. Thus, the Foundation hurtles into conflict with the decadent, decrepit First Empire. In this struggle for power amid the chaos of the stars, man stands at the threshold of a new, enlightened life which could easily be put aside for the old forces of barbarism. The Foundation novels of Isaac Asimov constitute what is very likely the most famed epic in all of science-fiction

English (Second Foundation) / Italiano«The First Galactic Empire had endured for tens of thousands of years»But now it no longer exists. The present is the Foundation, at war with an enemy with a terrible "psychic" power, i.e. the ability to influence the minds. The third chapter of the Foundation series is better than the two preceding it, with more action and suspense. It's the final showdown between the "Mule" and the Second Foundation, represented in the final battle by its "First Speaker". But above all the homeworld of the Second Foundation will now be revealed. Surprise!Vote: 7,5«Il Primo Impero Galattico era esistito per decine di migliaia d'anni»Ma adesso non esiste più. Il presente è della Fondazione, in lotta contro un nemico dotato di poteri "psichici" terribili, ovvero la capacità di influenzare le menti. Il terzo capitolo del ciclo della Fondazione è meglio dei due precedenti, secondo me, più ricco in azione e suspense. Siamo alla resa dei conti tra il "Mulo" e la Seconda Fondazione, rappresentata nello scontro decisivo dal suo "Primo Oratore". Ma soprattutto ci sta per essere rivelato il pianeta madre della Seconda Fondazione. Sorpresa!Voto: 7,5

In this beautifully written account, Julian Young provides the most comprehensive biography available today of the life and philosophy of the nineteenth-century German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche. Young deals with the many puzzles created by the conjunction of Nietzsche's personal history and his work: why the son of a Lutheran pastor developed into the self-styled "Antichrist"; why this archetypical Prussian came to loathe Bismarck's Prussia; and why this enemy of feminism preferred the company of feminist women. Setting Nietzsche's thought in the context of his times - the rise of Prussian militarism, anti-Semitism, Darwinian science, the "Youth" and emancipationist movements, as well as the "death of God" - Young emphasizes the decisive influence of Plato and of Richard Wagner on Nietzsche's attempt to reform Western culture. He also describes the devastating effect on Nietzsche's personality of his unhappy love for Lou Salom� and attempts to understand why, at the age of forty-four, he went mad. This book includes a selection of more than thirty photographs of Nietzsche, his friends and his work sites. Seventeen of the philosopher's musical compositions, which are key to a deeper understanding of his intellectual project are available online.

Jean Nicolas Arthur Rimbaud (UK: , US: ; French: [aʁtyʁ ʁɛ̃bo] (listen); 20 October 1854 – 10 November 1891) was a French poet who is known for his influence on modern literature and arts, which prefigured surrealism. Born in Charleville-Mézières, he started writing at a very young age and excelled as a student, but abandoned his formal education in his teenage years to run away from home to Paris amidst the Franco-Prussian War. During his late adolescence and early adulthood he began the bulk of his literary output, then completely stopped writing at the age of 21, after assembling one of his major works, Illuminations.
Rimbaud was known to have been a libertine and a restless soul, having engaged in an at times violent romantic relationship with fellow poet Paul Verlaine, which lasted nearly two years. After ending his literary career, he traveled extensively on three continents as a merchant before his death from cancer just after his thirty-seventh birthday. As a poet, Rimbaud is well known for his contributions to Symbolism and, among other works, for A Season in Hell, a precursor to modernist literature.

"ای کاش پیرمردی کوچک بودم بی مویی برسر, نشسته پشت میز تحریری بزرگ در کتابخانه ای دلکش".و برخلاف آرزویش چخوف مردی بود جوان, بزرگ و زیبا درست همانگونه که به چشم ها می آمد.... آلکساندر کوپرین نویسنده جوان وقت روسیه که اولین بار چخوف را ملاقات کرد در این باره نوشت: "من زیباترین, دلپذیرترین و الهام انگیزترین صورتی را می دیدم که تا آن زمان اقبال دیدنش را یافته بودم." و این زیباترین صورت جهان مزین شده بود به قلبی مهربان و نبوغی بی مثال.....آنتون چخوف زاده 1860 در شهر تاگروناگ روسیه سومین فرزند از شش فرزند خانواده ای متوسط با پدری به شدت مذهبی و سختگیر و مادری سنتی و بدون قدرت بود....دوران کودکی چخوف با کتک های روزمره پدر و تعلیمات سخت مذهبی اش در میان فقر و سختی گذشته و دوران نوجوانی به زحمت و تلاش برای امرار معاش برای خرج تحصیلات و گذران زندگی خانواده ای پرجمعیت بود....چخوف که شاگردی متوسط در مدرسه بود بعد از ورشکستگی پدر و مهاجرت ناگهانی خانواده به مسکو در شهر کوچک تاگروناگ محکوم به ماندن شد و بعد از تلاش زیاد برای بدست آوردن پول با کارهای کوچک به فکر ارتقا تحصیلی خودش به پزشکی افتاد به این امید که دارای منصب و پول بیشتری شود و بعد از دو سال رنج فراوان به مدرسه پزشکی مسکو پذیرفته شد و در آنجا بود که با وضعیت نابسامان خانواده روبرو شد...برای کمک به خانواده و با کشف استعدادش در نوشتن و علاقه ای که به ساختن داستان از موضوعات روزمره و حتی هیچ داشت با قلمی طنز در زیر اسمهای مستعار شروع به نوشتن برای یکی دو مجله و روزنامه فکاهی آن زمان کرد....و این بود آغاز نوشتن هایش که گاه حتی به چندین و چند تا در روز میرسید..."همچنان که از این داستان به آن داستان می پرداخت, پرده نقاشی زندگی در روسیه آن روزگار را نقش میزد- پرده ای عریض, اما ناچیز, حقیر اما مومنانه. آنان که در این پرده ها پهلو به پهلو دیده می شدند همان مردم عادی بودند که وی آنان را به ناگاه, هم در شهر و هم در بیرون شهر, یافته بود: روستاییان جاهل و جانور خوی, اعیان عاطل, دانشجویان مِی زده, دکان داران اسیر دخل و خرج, مقامات فاسد....هریک از ایشان دچار مصیبتی رقت انگیز و همخوان با شخصیت رقت انگیز خود. با این همه چخوف با رشته کنایاتی روشن و کوتاه, میتوانست به رازی اشاره کند که در پس ظاهر خاکسترین آنها نهفته بود. پوچی زندگی هرروزین را بی اشتباه عریان میکرد, نه سخنی از تعقیب بود, نه از دفاع, حقیقت خام, عکاسی. افزون بر این, جعبه جادوی او نافرسودنی می نمود: در سراسر این نگارخانه عظیم هیچ تکچهره تکراری وجود نداشت."با وجود طرفداران بسیار و اصرار مجله ها چخوف هرگز حاضر نمیشد در زیر نام واقعی خود بنویسد تا وقتی که یکی از نویسندگان بنام آن زمان به نام گریگاروویچ به نبوغ او پی برده و در نامه ای با صراحت کلام برایش نوشت که چگونه چخوف استعدادش را با قلم زدنهای با سرعت و گاه بی عمق در حال از بین بردن است...."من همه آنچه را با امضای چخونته بوده است خوانده ام, اگرچه آزرده بوده ام از مردی که خود را چندان دست کم می پندارد که کاربرد نامی مستعار را لازم میداند...شما استعدادی راستین دارید, استعدادی که شما را به سطحی ارتقا می دهد بسی فراتر از نسل تازه نویسندگان....بس کنید تلاش را برای نگاه داشتن مهلت ها. نمیدانم درآمدتان چه مقدار است, اگر کم است, گرسنگی بکشید, اما مشاهدات خود را برای آثاری بگذارید که به آن ها می اندیشید...کاری از این دست خواهد ارزید به بیش از صد داستان سراسر پاک و پاکیزه ای که میان صفحات روزنامه ها پراکنده است."بعد از آن و به تدریج چخوف شروع به آهسته نوشتن ولی بهتر نوشتن کرد و در طول زمان کوتاه زندگی اش بیشتر از صدها داستان و نمایش کوتاه بیاد ماندنی از خودش برجای گذاشت....چخوف به عنوان یکی از بهترن داستان کوتاه نویسان دنیا شناخته شده و بعد از شکسپیر یکی از پربیننده ترین نمایش های دنیا را خلق کرده است....چخوف که از دنیای سیاست و دین و فلسفه دوری میگزید به سادگی به خویشتن خویش, مردی معتدل وابسته بود و بس..."بیایید آدمی عادی باشیم, با همه یکسان رفتار کنیم تا به همبستگی ساختگی نیاز پیدا نکنیم" و در این عادی بودن خودش را به هیچ جرگه و فرقه ای متعلق نمیدانست و بین دو علاقه زندگی اش ادبیات و پزشکی تنها به خانواده اش وفادار بود و ملتش...."من نه آزادیخواهم نه محافظه کار, نه پیرو پیشرفت گام به گامم نه راهب و لاقید, دوست می دارم هنرمندی باشم آزاد و دیگر هیچ, از دروغ بیزارم و از خشونت در همه جلوه هایش...."با وجود علاقه اش به نوشتن و محبوبیتی که در طول زندگی اش از نویسندگی به دست آورد, چخوف هرگز حرفه پزشکی را رها نکرد و تا آخر عمرش بیماران مستمند را در هرکجایی که بود به رایگان و با طبع خاطر درمان میکرد و بسته به نیازش گاه به پزشکی و گاه به ادبیات روی خوش تری نشان میداد.... چخوف نمیتوانست تشخیص دهد که آیا پزشک است یا نویسنده. با ارجاع به قیاسی که دوست می داشت میان همسر قانونی اش پزشکی و معشوقه اش ادبیات به دست دهد, نوشت: "وقتی یکی خشمگینم می کند, شب را با دیگری میگذرانم. چنین روشی ممکن است اندکی نابسامانی فراهم کند, اما ملال کمتری خواهد آورد."نویسنده کتاب هانری تروایا روسی زاده ای فرانسوی است که زندگینامه شخصیت های بسیاری از جمله داستایوسکی, تولستوی, پوشکین و گوگول را به تصویر کشیده است که برای نوشتن زندگی چخوف دچار تردید بوده است با چاپ این کتاب صاحب جایزه نقد ادبی سال 1984 شد. چخوف در عین ژرف بینی و راز آمیز بودن عاری از زندگی پرجنجال و سرنوشت های گونا گونی چون دیگران بوده است...مردی عاری از پیچیده گی ها و مزین به لبخندی زیبا و روحی بزرگ انسانی همچون انسان های دیگر فقط بری از دشمنی با همنوعان, مردی از جنس تواضع و فروتنی با انضباطی زاهدانه و عشق به طبیعت با نبوغی غیر قابل قیاس و قلمی که از هیچ زندگی می آفریده است....چخوف بعد از سالها ابتلا به بیماری سل و رنج و عذابی که متحمل بود در سال 1904 درست دوسال بعد از ازدواجش با هنرپیشه تئاتری در مسکو از زندگی به مرگ گذر کرد بدان سادگی که خصلت او بود....از شاهکارهای به یاد ماندنی اش میتوان از نمایش مرغ دریایی, دایی وانیا, و سه خواهر و داستانهای کوتاهش چون ماتم, فراری و وانکا نام برد..پی نوشت: ترجمه آقای علی بهبهانی در عین روان بودن گاه و بیگاه به سکسه دچار میشدند...به نظر میرسید در جاهایی ماجرا یکباره قطع میشود و به جایی پرت ربط داده میشود....توصیفاتی که چخوف در نامه های عاشقانه اش به اولگا همسرش نوشته بود بسیار عجیب بودند مثل: سگ, هاپو, جوجه بوقلمون و غیره که به نظرم میتوانستند جایگزین های بهتری داشته باشند....
