Journeys to the end of the world, fantastic creatures, and epic battles between good and evil—what more could any reader ask for in one book? The book that has it all is The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, written in 1949 by Clive Staples Lewis. But Lewis did not stop there. Six more books followed, and together they became known as The Chronicles of Narnia.For the past fifty years, The Chronicles of Narnia have transcended the fantasy genre to become part of the canon of classic literature. Each of the seven books is a masterpiece, drawing the reader into a land where magic meets reality, and the result is a fictional world whose scope has fascinated generations.This edition presents all seven books—unabridged—in one impressive volume. The books are presented here in chronlogical order, each chapter graced with an illustration by the original artist, Pauline Baynes. Deceptively simple and direct, The Chronicles of Narnia continue to captivate fans with adventures, characters, and truths that speak to readers of all ages, even fifty years after they were first published.

In Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare creates a violent world, in which two young people fall in love. It is not simply that their families disapprove; the Montagues and the Capulets are engaged in a blood feud.In this death-filled setting, the movement from love at first sight to the lovers’ final union in death seems almost inevitable. And yet, this play set in an extraordinary world has become the quintessential story of young love. In part because of its exquisite language, it is easy to respond as if it were about all young lovers.

Paulo Coelho's masterpiece tells the mystical story of Santiago, an Andalusian shepherd boy who yearns to travel in search of a worldly treasure. His quest will lead him to riches far different, and far more satisfying, listening to our hearts, of recognizing opportunity and learning to read the omens strewn along life's path, and, most importantly, to follow our dreams.

Oliver Barrett IV, a wealthy jock from a stuffy WASP family on his way to a Harvard degree and a career in law . . . Jenny Cavilleri, a sharp-tongued, working-class beauty studying music at Radcliffe . . .Opposites in nearly every way, Oliver and Jenny are kindred spirits from vastly different worlds. Falling deeply and powerfully, their attraction to one another defies everything they have ever believed—as they share a passion far greater than anything they dreamed possible . . . and explore the wonder of a love that must end too soon.One of the most adored novels of our time, this is the book that defined a generation—a story of uncompromising devotion, of life as it really is . . . and love that changes everything.

Accused of mocking the inviolate codes of Islam, the Persian poet and sage Omar Khayyam fortuitously finds sympathy with the very man who is to judge his alleged crimes. Recognising genuis, the judge decides to spare him and gives him instead a small, blank book, encouraging him to confine his thoughts to it alone. Thus begins the seamless blend of fact and fiction that is Samarkand. Vividly re-creating the history of the manuscript of the Rubaiyaat of Omar Khayyam, Amin Maalouf spans continents and centuries with breathtaking vision: the dusky exoticism of 11th-century Persia, with its poetesses and assassins; the same country's struggles nine hundred years later, seen through the eyes of an American academic obsessed with finding the original manuscript; and the fated maiden voyage of the Titanic, whose tragedy led to the Rubaiyaat's final resting place - all are brought to life with keen assurance by this gifted and award-winning writer.

"Bu manasız ve yabancı hayatta bir tek şeye hakikaten sarılmış, hakikaten inanır gibi olmuştu. Bu da karısı idi. Muazzez'in varlığı Yusuf için büyük, boşlukları dolduracak mahiyette bir şey değildi, fakat onun yokluğu müthişti. Onun bu kadar sebepsiz yere, bu kadar insafsızca Yusuf'un hayatından koparılması çıldırtacak kadar acı idi. Hayatında asıl aradığı şeyin Muazzez olmadığını biliyordu, fakat Muazzez olmadan bunu aramaya muktedir olamayacağını sanıyordu."Kuyucaklı Yusuf, Türk edebiyatının belki de en romantik kahramanıdır. Hayatın ve insanların zalimliği karşısındaki naif duruşu ile bir yandan trajik bir sona ilerlerken, bir yandan da yaşadığı lirik aşk hikayesinin kahramanı olarak edebiyat tarihinde yerini almıştır.Sabahattin Ali büyük romanı Kuyucaklı Yusuf'ta lirik ve romantik bir kahramanın yanı sıra, zalim ve ağulu bir taşra portresini bütün aktörleriyle gözümüzde canlandırır.

"İsteyip istemediğimi doğru dürüst bilmediğim, fakat neticesi aleyhime çıkarsa istemediğimi iddia ettiğim bu nevi söz ve fiillerimin daimi bir mesulünü bulmuştum: Buna içimdeki şeytan diyordum, müdafaasını üzerime almaktan korktuğum bütün hareketlerimi ona yüklüyor ve kendi suratıma tüküreceğim yerde, haksızlığa, tesadüfün cilvesine uğramış bir mazlum gibi nefsimi şefkat ve ihtimama layık görüyordum. Halbuki ne şeytanı azizim, ne şeytanı? Bu bizim gururumuzun, salaklığımızın uydurması... İçimizdeki şeytan pek de kurnazca olmayan bir kaçamak yolu... İçimizde şeytan yok... İçimizde aciz var... Tembellik var... İradesizlik, bilgisizlik ve bunların hepsinden daha korkunç bir şey: hakikatleri görmekten kaçmak itiyadı var..."Bu romanında, toplumsal gündemin kişilikler üzerindeki baskısını ve güçsüz insanın "kapana kısılmışlığını" gösteriyor Sabahattin Ali. Aydın geçinenlerin karanlığına, "insanın içindeki şeytan"a keskin bir bakış.

I know that there is a whole slew of people who object to reading adaptations and abridged versions of classics. And for a mature audience, I'm against abridged versions too..... but I've chosen to use adaptations, re-tellings and abridged versions of certain classics with my son as a first exposure.... I've done this with Homer's Odyssey and the Iliad - and he will tell you that the Odyssey is his all time favorite story. Mission accomplished - when he's older and ready to tackle Homer - he'll do so with fond memories and a bit of knowledge with which to work from...instead of feeling intimidated!I'm choosing to do the same thing with Shakespeare... my strategy will be to introduce a child's adaptation and then to watch a child-friendly production as an introduction to some of the Bard's works.... hoping that he'll grow up knowing that he loves Shakespeare...Bruce Coville's adaptation of A Midsummere's Night Dream was fantastic... the pictures were captivating and the wording gave just the perfect flavor as a first intro to this play! I look forward to reading more of his adaptations!
