''Wilde did not converse - he told tales.'' Oscar Wilde was already famous as a brilliant wit and raconteur when he first began to publish his short stories in the late 1880s. They have never lacked readers and admirers, George Orwell and W. B. Yeats among them. The stories give free rein to Wilde''s originality, literary skill, and sophistication. They include poignant fairy-tales such as ''The Happy Prince'' and ''The Selfish Giant'', and the extravagant comedy and social observation of ''Lord Arthur Savile''s Crime'' and ''The Canterville Ghost''. They also encompass the daring narrative experiments of ''The Portrait of Mr. W. H.'', Wilde''s fictional investigation into the identity of the dedicatee of Shakespeare''s sonnets, and the ''Poems in Prose'', based on the Gospel stories.This edition demonstrates the centrality of Wilde''s shorter fiction in his literary career, and his continuing development and experimentation with the short story format. Combining myth, romance, and irony, Wilde''s stories enthral and challenge the reader.

The five original fairy tales included in this volume were first published by Davis Nutt in 1888. Although it is said that Wilde wrote them for his two young sons, the author himself claimed they were ''. . . . not for children, but for childlike people from eighteen to eighty''. Since then the stories have been constantly reprinted and, despite the author''s disclaimer, children have made the tales their own, a particular favourite being ''The Selfish Giant'' - the highly moral story of the giant who banished children from his garden, so that spring never came. Charles Robinson, who produced the illustrations for a special edition first published in 1913, brought to the book a feeliong for its innate sadness that exactly fits the poetry of Wilde''s text.

A sweeping global history of the birth of modern GreeceIn 1821, a diverse territory in the southern Balkans on the fringe of the Ottoman Empire was thrust into a decade of astounding mass violence. The Greek Revolution and the Violent Birth of Nationalism traces how something new emerged from an imperial mosaic of myriad languages, religions, cultures, and localisms—the world’s first ethnic nation-state, one that was born from the destruction and the creation of whole peoples, and which set the stage for the modern age of nationalism that was to come.Yanni Kotsonis exposes the everyday chaos and brutality in the Balkan peninsula as the Ottoman regime unraveled. He follows the future Greeks on the seaways to Odesa, Alexandria, Livorno, and the Caribbean, and recovers the stories of peasants, merchants, warriors, aristocrats, and intellectuals who navigated the great empires that crisscrossed the region. Kotsonis recounts the experiences of the villagers and sailors who joined the armed battalions of the Napoleonic Wars and learned a new kind of warfare and a new practice of mass mobilization, lessons that served them well during the revolutionary decade. He describes how, as the bloody 1820s came to a close, the region’s Muslims were no more ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Embark on a revealing philosophical journey through the universe of The Witcher “If I''m to choose between one evil and another, I''d rather not choose at all,” growls the mutant “witcher,” Geralt of Rivia. Andrzej Sapkowski''s Witcher books lay bare the adventures of monster hunters like Geralt, who seek to avoid humanity''s conflicts and live only for the next kill and the coin that comes with it. But Geralt''s destiny is complicated by his relationship with a powerful sorceress, Yennefer of Vengerberg. When he connects with a displaced princess, Ciri, Geralt lands right in the middle of the political conflicts of the Continent, which is endangered by Nilfgaard, a domineering southern kingdom that threatens to conquer the world. Part of the Blackwell Philosophy and Pop Culture series, The Witcher and Philosophy brings on twenty-seven philosophers to test their mettle against werewolves, the bruxa, strigas, vodyanoi, and kikimora; their work addresses the phenomenally popular books, three standalone Witcher video games, and the hit Netflix streaming show.
