Milton's Paradise Lost is one of the greatest epic poems in the English language. It tells the story of the Fall of Man, a tale of immense drama and excitement, of rebellion and treachery, of innocence pitted against corruption, in which God and Satan fight a bitter battle for control of mankind's destiny. The struggle rages across three worlds - heaven, hell, and earth - as Satan and his band of rebel angels plot their revenge against God. At the center of the conflict are Adam and Eve, motivated by all too human temptations, but whose ultimate downfall is unyielding love. Marked by Milton's characteristic erudition is a work epic both in scale and, notoriously, in ambition. For nearly 350 years it has held generation upon generation of scholars, students and readers in rapt attention and its profound influence can be seen in almost every corner of Western culture.
Zjednodušené převyprávění určené především mladším čtenářům. Vrcholné dílo španělské renesance, které mělo být původně parodií na rytířské romány. V malé španělské vesnici na náhorní plošině La Mancha žil chudý šlechtic, který se nazýval Quijana. Měl dvě velké vášně – lov a četbu rytířských eposů. To druhé mu dokonce zabíralo tolik času, že nejednou zapomněl vyrazit na hon a o své panství se už skoro vůbec nestaral. Nakonec ho svět velkých hrdinů, překrásných žen a sladkých milostných románků ovládl tak, že vyčistil svou zrezivělou zbroj, vyhřebelcoval stařičkého dýchavičného koně a se sluhou bez špetky fantazie se rozhodl vyrazit do světa šířit rytířskou slávu jako Don Quijote de la Mancha. Kniha, která popisuje jeho neuvěřitelné příběhy, výrazně ovlivnila evropskou literaturu. A slovní spojení jako „boj s větrnými mlýny“ či „donkichotství“ se dostala do obecného povědomí a v běžné řeči se používají dodnes. Text upravila Eliška Nosálová.

Don Quixote is a masterpiece of world fiction, a brilliant satire on traditional romances and an uproarious comedy and a prose-epic in a new genre for its time. Widely regarded as the world's first modern novel, and one of the funniest and most tragic books ever written, Don Quixote chronicles the famous adventures of the noble knight-errant Don Quixote de La Mancha and his faithful squire, Sancho Panzal. Don Quixote travels through sixteenth-century Spain in search of adventure, dedicating his actions of valour to a country girl whom he calls Dulcinea, seeing her as his lady. He takes on spirits, evil enchanters and most famously, of course, giants in the form of windmills.
Cervantes' tale of the deranged gentleman who turns knight-errant have found its way into films, cartoons and even computer games. Intended as a parody of the most popular escapist fiction, the 'books of chivalry', this precursor of the modern novel broadened and deepened into a sophisticated, comic account of the contradictions of human nature.

"Vous n'avez peut-être entendu parler que confusément de mes étranges aventures, et des dangers que j'ai courus sur mer dans les sept voyages que j'ai faits; et puisque l'occasion s'en présente, je vais vous en faire un rapport fidèle..." Ainsi parle Sindbad le marin, ainsi commence l'un des contes les plus célèbres des Mille et Une Nuits...
Gustave Doré's Romantic style of illustration, supremely imaginative and richly detailed, was ideally suited to literary subjects. His wood-engraved illustrations for John Milton's monumental epic poem Paradise Lost, recounting mankind's fall from the grace of God through the work of Satan, were among his finest and most dramatic works. This volume presents superb reproductions of all 50 plates drawn by Doré and engraved in his studios for the original edition of Paradise Lost.Artists and art lovers will find in these pages supreme examples of the illustrator's art. Among the events the expulsion of Satan from heaven, Adam and Eve in Paradise, the nine-day fall of Lucifer's legions to Hell, the Creation, the temptation of Eve, the Flood, Moses holding up the Ten Commandments, and the fearsome creatures Milton referred to as "Gorgons, and Hydras, and Chimeras dire."The dreamlike, otherworldly quality Doré often brought to his work seems especially appropriate for Paradise Lost with its lofty spirit and epic events. Indeed, Doré's grand conception seems to realize perfectly Milton's own poetic version. Appropriate quotes from the text of Paradise Lost are printed alongside each illustration. A plot summary of the entire poem is also included.

'London: A Pilgrimage' was conceived in 1868 by the journalist and playwright Blanchard Jerrold. Accompanied by the famous artist Gustave Dore, Jerrold explored every corner of the bustling metropolis, sometimes with plain-clothes police for protection. 'London: A Pilgrimage' is a classic of social journalism, offering a frank and brutal look at the poverty-stricken, gin-swilling London of the nineteenth century, written in a perceptive, bold, and gripping style. 180 incredible etchings by Dore accompany Jerrold on his journey through the vibrant city, into the Lambeth gas works, seedy opium dens, and grubby bathing houses; peering curiously into the desperate lives of flower sellers, lavender girls, and organ grinders. 'London: A Pilgrimage' is an enlightening work that brings to life the chaotic and gloomy past of a great city on the cusp of modern times.

Gargantua i Pantagruel to fantastyczno-groteskowa epopeja ukazująca się drukiem w latach 1532-1564. Arcydzieło francuskiego księdza i pisarza Franois Rabelais jest parodią epiki rycerskiej i zawiera szyderczy obraz współczesnego autorowi społeczeństwa.

Une détonation retentit alors qu'un Indien levait sa carabine pour tirer sur un chasseur audacieux. L'Indien tomba, laissant tomber son arme. Pepe, se jetant à terre pour recharger son rifle, invita Fabian à agir. Ce dernier tira, mais son coup manqua l'Indien, qui ne fut que blessé par un cri de rage. Des flèches volèrent vers le Canadien, mais Bois-Rose, imperturbable, les esquivait habilement. Lorsque Pepe eut rechargé son arme, il profita d'un moment d'hésitation chez les Indiens pour récupérer le corps de Gayferos. Ce dernier, accroché à ses épaules, laissa les bras de Bois-Rose libres pour manœuvrer. Le Canadien, avançant à reculons dans l'eau, ne tira qu'une seule fois, provoquant un cri d'agonie d'un Indien. La retraite stratégique, soutenue par les tirs de Fabian et Pepe, finit par imposer le respect à leurs ennemis. Quelques minutes plus tard, Bois-Rose, victorieux, déposa Gayferos, presque évanoui, sur le sol de l'îlot. Le géant annonça qu'ils avaient mis hors de combat trois adversaires.

Nel 1875, sei anni prima di scrivere Pinocchio, Collodi accetta l'incarico di tradurre le fiabe di Charles Perrault per l'editore Paggi di Firenze. Questo compito, inizialmente curioso, diventa una vera passione. Le fiabe di Perrault, che rappresentano il culmine del genere tra il Sei e il Settecento alla Corte del Re Sole, includono classici come Cappuccetto Rosso e Cenerentola. Collodi arricchisce il suo lavoro con storie di altre importanti autrici francesi dell'epoca, come Madame d’Aulnoy e Madame Le Prince de Beaumont, note per la loro eleganza e comprensione psicologica. Tuttavia, non si limita a una traduzione fedele; il suo istinto narrativo lo porta a vivificare il linguaggio degli originali, infondendo tocchi di arguzia toscana e spontaneità popolare. Così, la Corte di Versailles si trasforma in una Toscana granducale e umile. I racconti delle fate ottengono immediato successo e segnano una svolta nella vita di Collodi, avvicinandolo a un genere che lo renderà immortale. Queste storie, riprodotte integralmente con le illustrazioni di Doré, offrono una lingua viva e comunicativa, rappresentando i vertici della favolistica europea e anticipando felicemente la creazione di Pinocchio.

Nowhere but in the Bible were dramatic textual material and the artistry of Gustave Doré more perfectly matched. The Book of Books seemed to unleash a new power of creation in Doré not apparent in his previous work. In the Creation scenes, the horrifying visions of the Flood, the battle sequences with their monumental crowds, the plates depicting the life of Jesus — many of which have now become the standard iconography — and finally the vision of the New Jerusalem, Doré reached the fullest expressions of his extraordinary talent.This book collects all 241 plates — long out of print — that Doré executed for the Bible. In these plates, reproduced from outstanding early editions, the artist not only captures the dramatic intensity of the Scriptures, but sustains it longer than any other single artist was able to do. In addition, Doré reimagined all the scenes, so that what he produced was not a mere reworking of what centuries of other artists had already done, but a new and fresh visual interpretation of the Bible.Each plate is accompanied by the verses from the Authorized (King James) Version of the Bible that the scene depicts, and an Introduction by Millicent Rose covers Doré's life and art in general. This is a sumptuous book that everyone, from those interested in Scripture to lovers of great art, will be proud to possess.

Boska Komedia, uznana została za jedno z największych arcydzieł poezji świata. Potęga fantazji, barwność i plastyka wyobraźni, głębia myśli, rozległa skala uczucia, niemniej rozległa skala motyw�w tw�rczych, zespolenie w jedno pierwiastk�w epickich, lirycznych i dramatycznych, satyry z mistyką, ironii i dowcipu z tragicznym patosem, wreszcie bogactwo języka, dźwięczność wiersza, kunsztowna jego forma - wszystko to razem składa się na zapewnienie poematowi Dantego przodującego stanowiska w literaturze wszechświatowej.

The restored, unbowdlerized text of Raspe’s slapstick travel epic featuring the classic illustrations from Strang & Clark (1895) No one has journeyed to as many foreign lands as Baron von Munchausen. Nor, when it comes time to fire a cannon, will you find anyone more accurate. The comfort of courtly life is as natural to him as the harshest polar desert. On the subject of politics and science he has no equal. And all discussion of the moon must start and stop with the only man who has ever been there. His feats of prowess are famed the world over. Who else could leap a hedgerow with a carriage and horse on their back? No one. And then of course there are the bears. . . My god the poor bears! Written at a time when science was replacing religion, and explorers were mapping the globe, and in our own time made into an acclaimed movie by Terry Gilliam, The Travels and Surprising Adventures of Baron Munchausen unleashed the quintessential madman upon the Age of Enlightenment—and it remains the tallest of tall tales to this day.
