The Happy Prince - Oscar Wilde

In a town where a lot of poor people suffer and where there are a lot of miseries, a swallow who was left behind after his flock flew off to Egypt for the winter, meets the statue of the late ‘Happy Prince’, who in reality has never experienced true sorrow, for he lived in a palace where sorrow isn’t allowed to enter. Viewing various scenes of people suffering in poverty from his tall monument, the Happy Prince asks the swallow to take the ruby from his hilt, the sapphires from his eyes, and the golden leaf covering his body to give to the poor. As the winter comes and the Happy Prince is stripped of all of his beauty, his lead heart breaks when the swallow dies as a result of his selfless deeds and severe cold.The statue is then brought down from the pillar and melted in a furnace leaving behind the broken heart and the dead swallow and they are thrown in a dust heap. These are taken up to heaven by an angel that has deemed them the two most precious things in the city. This is affirmed by God and they live forever in his city of gold and garden of paradise.

He had many successes as a playwright, first with Lady Windermere's Fan in 1892, and all his plays were performed in London between 1892 and 1895.

The Uncommon Reader - Alan Bennett

Alan Bennett''s classic story about Queen Elizabeth IIWhat would happen if the Queen became a reader of taste and discernment rather than of Dick Francis? The answer is a perfect story.The Uncommon Reader is none other than HM the Queen who drifts accidentally into reading when her corgis stray into a mobile library parked at Buckingham Palace. She reads widely (JR Ackerley, Jean Genet, Ivy Compton Burnett and the classics) and intelligently. Her reading naturally changes her world view and her relationship with people like the oleaginous prime minister and his repellent advisers. She comes to question the prescribed order of the world and loses patience with much that she has to do. In short, her reading is subversive. The consequence is, of course, surprising, mildly shocking and very funny.

The Audubon Reader - John-James Audubon

John James Audubon (1785-1851) was for half a century America''s dominant wildlife artist. His seminal Birds of America, a collection of 435 life-size prints, is still a standard work, and the name Audubon remains synonymous with birds and bird conservation the world over. Born in Haiti, the illegitimate son of a French sea-captain, he was raised in France and sailed to America at the age of 18 where he went into business and began his study of birds. In 1819 he was briefly jailed for bankruptcy; with no other prospects, he set off on his epic quest to depict America''s avifauna, with nothing but his gun, artist''s materials, and a young assistant. Floating down the Mississippi, he lived a rugged hand-to-mouth existence while his devoted wife, Lucy, earned money as a tutor to wealthy plantation families. In 1826 he sailed with his partly finished collection to England. Lionized as the ''American woodsman'', he hit just the right Romantic note for the era, and was an overnight success, finding printers for his book first in Edinburgh, then London. It was a classic American tale of triumph over adversity.Here are vivid ''bird biographies'', his correspondence with Lucy, journal accounts of his dramatic river journeys and hunting trips with the Osage Indians, and a generous sampling of brief stories that have long been out of print, ''The Burning of the Forests'' and ''Kentucky Barbecue on the Fourth of July'' among them. The Audubon Reader is an unforgettable encounter with early America: with its wildlife and birds, with its people and its primordial wilderness.

Kniha - autor Oscar Wilde, 64 stran, anglicky, brožovaná bez přebalu lesklá Na sloupu vysoko nad městem stojí socha Šťastného prince, celá pokrytá tenkými plátky zlata. Když princ vidí chudobu a zoufalství svého lidu, požádá dobrosrdečnou vlaštovku o pomoc. Oba obětují mnohem víc než jen bohatství, aby zachránili ty méně šťastné. Dojemný příběh o soucitu a šlechetnosti. High above the city on a column stands the statue of the Happy Prince, all gilded with thin leaves of gold. When he sees the poverty and desperateness of his people, the Prince asks a kind-hearted swallow for help. They both sacrifice much more than just the riches to save the less fortunate. Touching story of compassion and generosity.

The Foucault Reader - Michel Foucault

''The most innovative and influential French thinker of the contemporary era'' GuardianThis is the ideal introduction to one of the most significant and radical philosophers of the past century. It includes detailed excerpts from all of Foucault''s major works, including Discipline and Punish and The History of Sexuality, as well as many of his most revealing interviews, covering subjects from madness to desire, art to the nature of truth. No other writer has made us think more about the structures of power and control in our society, both past and present.''Scarcely any philosopher working on the history of philosophy or historian working on the history of institutions, social science or sexuality can avoid confronting the challenge of Foucault''s books'' Michael IgnatieffEdited by Paul Rabinow
