Publié pour la première fois en Russie vers 1870, ce petit livre, dont l'auteur est resté anonyme, représente l'un des plus beaux textes spirituels de l'orthodoxie russe. A travers un style qui garde le charme du langage populaire, le lecteur découvre la piété russe, dans ce qu'elle a de frais et de pur. Des épisodes nombreux et colorés le mettent au contact direct de la Russie ancienne, celle qui a inspiré les grands écrivains du siècle passé. Il rencontre enfin dans les Récits du pèlerin une tradition contemplative remontant aux premiers siècles de l'Orient chrétien, appliquée par un contemporain de Dostoïevski et de Tolstoï. La traduction a su garder la fraîcheur de l'original. Une introduction et des notes donnent les commentaires nécessaires à une bonne compréhension du texte.

Datant de la seconde moitié du 1er millénaire avant J.-C. et attribué au roi Salomon, le Cantique des Cantiques est l’une des œuvres majeures de la poésie hébraïque. Oscillant entre drame et ouvrage lyrique, ce texte a suscité de nombreuses interprétations. Pour les uns symbole de la symbiose entre Jésus et le genre humain, pour les autres chant d’amour d’un érotisme absolu, c’est avant tout un poème d’une fulgurance magnifique.

Aladdin ? Un garçon méchant, opiniâtre, désobéissant, fainéant. Un bon à rien ! Suffisamment rusé, malgré tout, pour déjouer les pièges d'un magicien et récupérer la lampe merveilleuse que celui-ci était venu chercher. Oh ! Ce n'est qu'une vieille lampe, fort banale en apparence. Mais gare à celui qui s'y frotte ! Une figure hideuse et gigantesque, aux pouvoirs illimités, peut en surgir... Le génie de la lampe ! « Que veux-tu ? Me voici prêt à t'obéir, comme ton esclave et celui de tous ceux qui ont la lampe à la main ». Aladdin sait ce qu'il veut ! De la nourriture à profusion, des pierres précieuses, des habits brodés, un palais doré et l'amour de la princesse Badroulboudour... De quoi susciter bien des convoitises.

Les temps sont durs pour Maître Pierre Pathelin, avocat sans procès à plaider. Lui et sa femme Guillemette sont dans la misère. Comment, alors, se procurer des habits neufs sans rien débourser ? C'est bien simple : il suffit d'être rusé et beau parleur...

Renart a faim d'anguilles, de jambon ou d'andouilles, mais rien ne le régale plus que de duper les autres : des paysans, le chat Tibert, le loup Isengrin et même le roi Noble le lion. Renart le hors-la-loi, Renart le rusé, Renart le diabolique se transforme au gré de son imagination en pèlerin, jongleur, teinturier, médecin ou cadavre... Mieux qu'aucun récit d'historien, les roublardises de Renart nous parlent d'un temps où les rois s'employaient à mater leurs vassaux insoumis, où les chevaliers partaient en croisade et où les animaux partageaient l'aventure humaine. Cette édition réunit un choix d'épisodes significatifs et savoureux du Roman de Renart, ordonnés de manière à offrir une histoire cohérente. À la fin du volume, le dossier invite à explorer le Moyen Age par les textes (fable, fabliau, chanson de geste et roman courtois) et à étudier deux extraits du Roman de Renart en ancien français

Djinns, ifrites et autres génies plus ou moins inquiétants hantent les lisières du monde des hommes, auxquels ils jouent des tours cruels... Superstitions d'une époque troublée où la magie reprend brutalement ses droits, où les diables sortent de leurs tanières sans crier gare... Encore que les cœurs diaboliques ne soient pas forcément les plus " inhumains " : tel honorable citoyen de Baghdad peut se montrer à l'occasion plus fourbe *encore que Satan lui-même... La présente édition des Nuits (4 vol.) est la seule, de par le monde, à avoir été, établie à partir des manuscrits originaux - et non d'après les éditions arabes imprimées (toutes scandaleusement arrangées et châtrées); la seule donc à être rigoureusement fidèle au texte arabe, fort libre, de l'original... et à en restituer les vertus natives : impertinence, âpreté visionnaire, voluptueuse crudité.

Adam et Ève, Caïn et Abel, l'arche de Noé, Isaac et Jacob, Samson et Dalila, David et Goliath, Jonas et la baleine... l'Ancien Testament nourrit l'imaginaire collectif et fonde en partie notre culture.

Écrit en pâli au IIIe siècle avant J.-C. et conservé à Ceylan, le Dhammapada (sanskrit : Dharmapada), qui se traduit par versets de la Loi, est l'un des textes fondamentaux les plus célèbres de la littérature bouddhique. Ces vers, d'une profondeur extraordinaire, ont conservé les paroles prononcées par le Bouddha en diverses circonstances de sa longue vie de prêche. Le Dhammapada, qui contient l'essence même de l'enseignement du Bouddha, a été très tôt admis parmi les textes canoniques. Il occupe dans le bouddhisme une place centrale comparable aux Évangiles dans le monde chrétien. Ces aphorismes, dépouillés de toute formulation accessoire, incisifs et denses, sont très précieux pour qui veut accéder à la compréhension de l'enseignement direct du Bouddha. Le Dhammapada est en quelque sorte un condensé, la quintessence du Dharma transmis par le Bouddha.

This collection of Norse-Icelandic mythological and heroic poetry contains the greater narratives of the creation of the world and the coming of Ragnarok, the Doom of the Gods.

In the most unlikely setting, during devastating winters and unimaginably harsh conditions, some of Europe's most celebrated literature was born. In 13th century Iceland, stories about the heroic Vikings that first settled the country were recorded. These stories, called Sagas (meaning 'story' in Icelandic), have always caused pride with the Icelandic nation and will forever be it's number one cultural heritage. The undisputed masterpiece among the Sagas is Njal's Saga, a spine-chilling story of love, honour, revenge, and patriotism, vividly describing the lives of a host of memorable characters, ranging from respected arbitrators and lawyers to deadly warriors and fighters. If you buy one item in Iceland this should be it. The Sagas inspired the works of J.R.R. Tolkein. The Sagas were written on vellum; a parchment made from calfskin. The material is extremely long-lasting and most of the original books are still in good condition. The oldest fully preserved version of Njal's Saga is from the early 14th century and is stored at the campus of The University of Iceland.

The world of Japanese geisha culture has long commanded worldwide interest and fascination. A document of this culture, as well as an exercise in erotic tradition, the "pillow book," was first used during Japan's Kamakura period (1192–1333). It then developed into a wider range of boudoir literature. Others became illustrated portfolios, or shunga, traditional Japanese erotic art that recalls great eighteenth-century masters such as Hokusai and Utamaro, as well as today's popular Manga comics. These pillow books were used by courtesans and geishas to aid sexual exploration, and throughout history also became a cultural guide to the world of the geisha, describing training, dress, makeup, and style, both public and private. This book brings the world of the geisha to us in glorious vibrancy through its topics of the history of the geisha tradition, the rigors of the geisha apprenticeship, the significance of the kimono, and the meticulous care of the daily routine and cosmetics; the perfection of skills of ceremony, dance, and music, and the significance of misuage—loss of virginity—and the role of the danna, or patron. Filled with the facts of formal tradition and ritual along with erotic symbolism makes Geisha Secrets a must for aficionados of classic erotica and for anyone else who wishes to preserve the rapidly vanishing world of the geisha.

Working from the definitive edition established by Muhsin Mahdi (based on the 14th century Syrian manuscript), this is a translation of "The Arabian Nights". It contains stories, of Arabic and Persian origin, which weave magic into the fabric of everday life, mixing flamboyance, pathos and humour.

Teleny, or, The Reverse of the Medal, is a pornographic novel, first published in London in 1893. The authorship of the work is unknown. There is a general consensus that it was an ensemble effort, but it has often been attributed to Oscar Wilde. Set in fin-de-siècle Paris, its concerns are the magnetic attraction and passionate though ultimately tragic affair between a young Frenchman named Camille de Grieux and the Hungarian pianist René Teleny. Its lush and literate, though variable prose style and the relative complexity and depth of character and plot development share as much with the Aesthetic fiction of the period as with its typical pornography.

Sindbad, shipwrecked on exotic shores inhabited by mythical beasts and flying men; the amazing adventures of the Barber of Baghdad's six brothers; how Ali Baba outwitted the forty thieves ... The daily entertainment of everyday people over a thousand years ago, these Arabian, Indian and Persian tales are full of magic and excitement.

Sa faiblesse : c'est un incorrigible coureur de jupons. La course est lancée. Le quotidien de Stanton : battre ses adversaires, porter les coups les plus bas, répondre aux accusations incessantes dont il est l'objet : adultère, présomption de paternité... Jusqu'au jour où les événements le confrontent à un choix moral crucial...

Students of Spanish literature have long been familiar with this eight-hundred-year-old epic which details the legendary exploits of the soldier-adventurer Ruy Díaz of Bivar, the Cid, "he who in happy hour was born." They have known of the Cid's part in the long contest between Christian and Moslem; of his peerless steed Babieca and of his two famous swords, Colada "the precious" and Tizón; of his wife Doña Elvira and Doña Sol, "white as the sun," who found santuary with Abbot Don Sancho in the monastery of San Pedro de Cardeña during the Cid's exile; and of the despicable Princes of Carrión, Diego and Fernando González, whose hearts were black with evil. Lesley Byrd Simpson here makes this masterpiece of Spanish literature accessible to English readers in a translation that preserves the verve, realism, and humor of the original. Mr. Simpson is the translator of Two Novels of Mexico by Mariano Azuela, Cortes: The Life of the Conqueror by Francisco López de Gómara, and The Celestina; he is the author of Many Mexicos and The Encomienda in New Spain.

“Bir daha duy, sözümün en yücesi, hepsinin en gizlisi şudur: Sen benim büyük sevgilimsin, bu yüzden senin iyiliğin için konuşacağım. Zihnini/gönlünü Bana ver, kendini Bana ada, Bana kurban sun, Beni tazim et ve Bana gel. Sana gerçekten söz veriyorum, çünkü sen benim için azizsin.” * Bhagavad-Gita (Tanrı’nın Şarkısı), Hindu dininin en önemli ve en kutsal metinlerinden biridir. Büyük Hint destanı Mahabharata’nın bir bölümünü oluşturur. Savaşçı prens Arcuna ile dostu ve arabacısı, aynı zamanda Tanrı Vishnu’nun yeryüzünde bedene bürünmüş bir zuhuru (Avatar) olan Şri Krişna arasında geçen bir söyleşidir. MÖ 400 ile MÖ 100 yılları arasında Sanskrit dilinde yazılmıştır. 18 bölüme ayrılmış 700 dizeden oluşur. Şiir, geniş bir çerçevede Tanrı’nın niteliğini˛ ve insanın O’nu tanıyabilmesinin yollarını araştırır. Metnin önemi, hem izlenmesi gereken amacı, hem de bu amaca varma yollarını göstermesindedir. Ayrıca Hindistan’daki dinsel düşünce ve uygulamaların uzun çağlara yayılan bir özetini verir. Hindu geleneğinin insanı Tanrı’yla mistik vuslata (birleşmeye) ulaştıran üç yolunu, tek bir yolun farklı varyasyonları olarak gösterir.

An internet meme, a crowd-sourced horror story, a dark figure who bends reality: SLENDERMAN. Lauren Bailey has disappeared. As friends at her exclusive school speculate and the police search for answers, Matt Barker dreams of trees and a black sky and something drawing closer. Through fragments of journals, articles and online conversations, a figure begins to emerge - a tall, slender figure - and all divisions between fiction and delusion, between nightmare and reality, begin to fall.

The Bible is the most important book in the history of Western civilization, and also the most difficult to interpret. It has been the vehicle of continual conflict, with every interpretation reflecting passionately-held views that have affected not merely religion, but politics, art, and even science. This unique edition offers an exciting new approach to the most influential of all English biblical texts--the Authorized King James Version, complete with the Apocrypha. Its wide-ranging Introduction and the substantial notes to each book of the Bible guide the reader through the labyrinth of literary, textual, and theological issues, using the most up-to-date scholarship to demonstrate how and why the Bible has affected the literature, art and general culture of the English-speaking world. The Bible: Authorized King James Version also includes the lastest biblical research, evaluated and put into context as well as discussing centuries of critical opinion. A non-sectarian, historical approach makes it suitable for a wide range of readers. A Glossary of terms used in the Notes and six maps of the Holy Land further illuminate the meaning of this most culturally influential version of the Bible.

A new Anglicized edition of the New Revised Standard Version of the Bible.

M. A. S. Abdel Haleem's acclaimed translation of the Qur'an is now published with the original Arabic text to give a greater appreciation and understanding of the holy book. The traditional Arabic calligraphic pages are displayed alongside the English translation; the text is accompanied by an invaluable introduction, notes, and an index.

Robert Louis Stevenson called it a "a book that captivates in childhood and delights in age."

This 6th Edition and 5th revised version of the translation emphasizes the Qur’ān as a self-manifesting source of light and guidance. It asserts that God leads those seeking His pleasure from darkness into light, guiding them along a straight path (5:16). Like the Torah and the Gospel, the Qur’ān is portrayed as a divine source of enlightenment, underscoring the importance of understanding the ultimate Source of reality. Knowledge lacking this awareness is deemed ignorance, and efforts without this foundation are destined for futility. The Qur’ān claims to be the most reliable guide for human endeavors, teaching that the Source of being is also the chief Source of guidance. Expert opinions praise this translation for its faithfulness and fluency. Dr. Muhammad Legenhausen notes its balance and improvement over existing translations. Prof. Hamid Algar highlights its clear, dignified language, free from the extremes of archaic or overly modern styles, reflecting a profound appreciation of the Qur’anic message. Prof. Joseph Lombard commends it for its accuracy, particularly for Arabic learners, as it presents phrase-by-phrase translations alongside the original text. He finds it more consistent and accurate than many other translations, including Arberry's, and recommends it highly for serious students of the Qur’ān.

A prince is born under a star of good fortune, and it is prophesied that he will become the greatest king of all time. Alexander grows up to fulfill this destiny, conquering all who stand in his way. But this is not enough for the young warrior. Alexander will not rest until he has defeated his mortal enemy, the King of Persia.

Through her great capacity to love, a kind and beautiful maid releases a handsome prince from the spell which has made him an ugly beast.

In the latter days of Ketill, King Harald the Fairhaired rose to power, making it impossible for any folkland king or noble to thrive without his approval. When Ketill learned that Harald intended to treat him like other powerful men—demanding he accept unatoned kinsmen and become a hireling—he convened a meeting with his kinsmen. He began by acknowledging their past dealings with King Harald but emphasized the urgent need to address the impending troubles they faced. Ketill conveyed his certainty of Harald's enmity and concluded that they had two options: flee the land or face slaughter. He expressed his willingness to share the same fate as his kinsmen but hesitated to lead them into such peril, knowing their loyalty to him. Bjorn, Ketill's son, quickly declared his intention to follow the example of noble men and flee the land, believing it better to escape than to remain and be subjected to Harald's tyranny or face death at his hands.

There have been many anthologies of limericks, but this huge collection of 1700 of them is a treasure trove indeed. It contains the richest and juiciest erotic stanzas the editor could cull from the vast body of limericks produced between 1870 and 1952.This collection was first published privately in Paris in 1957 in a limited edition. Very few copies found their way to this country.The limerick is, by definition, a five-line verse with a distinctive metrical structure. There have been clean limericks, of course, but the most popular form is a bawdy rhyme involving the sexes in ribald situations.Once banned from the nation's bookshelves, the limerick has taken advantage of the new moral climate to "come out." This book offers examples from all over the Western world - a limerick for every taste.Included are copious notes and an extensive bibliography.

This is the top secret manual said to be found by accident in 1986 by an employee of Boeing Aircraft. He bought a surplus IBM copier for scrap parts at a government sale and found the manual inside. The manual outlines a plan to control the masses through manipulation of industry, education and politics, and to divert the public's attention from what is really going on. Surprisingly, it is claimed that much of what is outlined has come to pass, and makes interesting reading for those exploring the deeper levels of our social structure and how it may be controlled or influenced. This Book Tree edition includes all of the important charts and diagrams not seen in other versions. It is an exact replica of the original, aside from some minor alterations to correct print quality. Found in this edition only is a new, four-page Introduction. It explains why we may never be certain of the true origin of this document, despite the fact that someone has stepped forward and claimed that they assembled it from multiple sources.
