Andrew Lang Livres

Dickens's story of solitary miser Ebenezer Scrooge, who is taught the true meaning of Christmas by a series of ghostly visitors, has proved one of his most well-loved works. Ever since it was published in 1843 it has had an enduring influence on the way we think about the traditions of Christmas. Dickens's other Christmas writings collected here include 'The Story of the Goblins who Stole a Sexton', the short story from The Pickwick Papers on which A Christmas Carol was based; along with shorter pieces drawn from the 'Christmas Stories' that Dickens wrote annually for his weekly journals. In all of them Dickens celebrates the season as one of geniality, charity and remembrance.

Plongez dans plus de 600 pages de récits héroïques inoubliables! Ces chefs-d'œuvre de la littérature grecque, attribués au poète Homère, fondateur de la culture grecque et pionnier de la littérature occidentale, ont été rédigés au VIIIe siècle av. J.-C., à une époque où l'écriture venait d'être découverte. L'Iliade relate le conflit légendaire de la guerre de Troie, les batailles et les querelles entre le roi Agamemnon et le valeureux guerrier Achille, déclenchées par le prince troyen Paris qui enlève Hélène, épouse du roi de Sparte. En représailles, Ménélas, l'époux bafoué, et son frère Agamemnon rassemblent une expédition de rois grecs pour assiéger Troie. L'Odyssee raconte les exploits d'Odysseus (Ulysse) et son long voyage de retour après la chute de Troie, qui dure dix ans. Pendant son absence, sa femme Pénélope et son fils Télémaque doivent faire face à des prétendants incontrolables. Les traductions de Leconte de Lisle et Ulysse de Séguier sont présentées intégralement et non modernisées, afin de préserver le style fabuleux de l'épopée d'Homère. Ces superbes poèmes épiques sont des incontournables de la littérature classique.

In our Fairy Cabinet we have aimed at pleasing children, not 'grown-ups, ' at whom the old French writers directed their romances, but have hunted for fairy tales in all quarters, not in Europe alone. In this volume we open, thanks to Dr. Ignaz Knnos, with a story from the Turks. 'Little King Loc' is an original invention by M. Anatole France, which he very kindly permitted Mrs. Lang to adapt from "L'Abeille." -- from Andrew Lang's Preface to this volume.
