Format: EPUBNumber of pages: 88 Size: 947 kB Book genre: biography Language: English Read: NO Added: 19.03.2014, 00:55 Annotation: Theodore Roosevelt, Jr. (1858-1919), also known as T. R., and to the public (but never to friends and intimates) as Teddy, was the twenty-sixth President of the United States, and a leader of the Republican Party and of the Progressive Movement. He became the youngest President in United States history at the age of 42. He served in many roles including Governor of New York, historian, naturalist, explorer, author, and soldier. Roosevelt is most famous for his personality: his energy, his vast range of interests and achievements, his model of masculinity, and his "cowboy" persona. He was the first American to be awarded the Nobel Prize, winning its Peace Prize in 1906, for negotiating the peace in the Russo-Japanese War. His The Naval War of 1812 (1882) was the standard history for two generations and his major achievement was a four-volume history of the frontier, The Winning of the West (1889-1896).

Format: PDFNumber of pages: 137 Size: 780 kB Book genre: fiction Language: English Read: NO Added: 08.03.2014, 00:46 Annotation: Homage to Catalonia is George Orwell's personal account of his experiences and observations in the Spanish Civil War.

Nineteen Eighty-Four
Format: PDFNumber of pages: 112 Size: 1006 kB Book genre: fiction Language: English Read: YES (28.05.2014) Added: 08.03.2014, 00:12 Annotation: Nineteen Eighty-Four is a dystopian novel by the English writer George Orwell, published in 1948. The story, which focuses on the life of Winston Smith, was Orwell's vision of a totalitarian state which has absolute control over every action and thought of its people through propaganda, secrecy, constant surveillance, and harsh punishment. In some editions it is retitled 1984. Commentary: ...scientific and technical progress depended on the empirical habit of thought, which could not survive in a strictly regimented society. In philosophy, or religion, or ethics, or politics, two and two might make five, but when one was designing a gun or an aeroplane they had to make four. James Stephens

Group Psychology and the Analaysis of the Ego
Format: EPUBNumber of pages: 76 Size: 127 kB Book genre: psychology Language: English Read: NO Added: 26.09.2024, 00:29 Annotation: The question he addresses here is, What are the emotional bonds that hold collective entities, such as an army and a church, together? It is a fruitful question, and Freud offers some interesting answers. But Group Psychology and the Analysis of the Ego stands chiefly as an invitation to further psychoanalytic exploration. Sigmund Freud
Die Traumdeutung
Format: EPUBNumber of pages: 644 Size: 887 kB Book genre: psychology Language: German Read: NO Added: 05.03.2014, 13:42 Annotation: The Interpretation of Dreams (German: Die Traumdeutung) is a book by psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud. The book introduces Freud's theory of the unconscious with respect to dream interpretation, and also first discusses what would later become the theory of the Oedipus complex. Freud revised the book at least eight times and, in the third edition, added an extensive section which treated dream symbolism very literally, following the influence of Wilhelm Stekel. Freud said of this work, "Insight such as this falls to one's lot but once in a lifetime. Beyond the City
Format: EPUBNumber of pages: 91 Size: 93 kB Book genre: detective stories Language: English Read: NO Added: 05.03.2014, 13:35 Annotation: Destiny brings three peculiar households together in the placid English countryside. The desire for money and romance drive these Victorians beyond the natural boundaries of their middle class lives. As the web of lust and deceit draws these accidental neighbors ever closer, a financial scandal befalls one of them. An outside "rank pirate" is linked somehow to one of the neighbors. Who could it be? In this work Conan Doyle exhibits the practiced subtlety and complexity for which he has become so well know. The Poison Belt
Format: EPUBNumber of pages: 70 Size: 71 kB Book genre: detective stories Language: English Read: NO Added: 27.02.2014, 00:08 Annotation: The Poison Belt was the second story, a novella, that Sir Arthur Conan Doyle wrote about Professor Challenger. Written in 1913, roughly a year before the outbreak of World War I, much of it takes place in a single room in Challenger's house — rather oddly, given that it follows The Lost World, a story set in the jungle. This would be the last story written about Challenger until the 1920s, by which time Doyle's spiritualist beliefs had begun to influence his writing. Bohumil Hrabal

Format: EPUBNumber of pages: 208 Size: 213 kB Book genre: philosophy Language: English Read: NO Added: 16.02.2014, 14:45 Annotation: This work is one of the most significant nineteenth century treatises on ethics. It is also Schopenhauer's most extended discussion of traditional themes in ethics and presents a descriptive ethics radically at odds with rationally based, prescriptive ethical theories. Schopenhauer begins this book with a wide-ranging critique of Kant's ethics, one that anticipates the work of contemporary critics of modern moral philosophy like that of G E M Anscombe, Philippa Foot, and Richard Taylor. Schopenhauer argues that compassion is the basis of morality, and in so doing presents a virtue ethics in which passion and desire are viewed as the keys for explaining different moral characters, behaviours, and world views. In the concluding part of his essay, Schopenhauer sketches his metaphysics of morals, using Kant's transcendental idealism as a ground for stressing both the interconnectiveness of being and the affinity of his ethics to Eastern thought. The Geography, Volume III
Format: EPUBNumber of pages: 531 Size: 601 kB Book genre: history Language: English Read: NO Added: 15.02.2014, 17:14 Annotation: The Geography book presented a descriptive history of people and places from different regions of the world known to author's era. Although the Geography was rarely utilized in its contemporary antiquity, a multitude of copies survived throughout the Byzantine Empire. It first appeared in Western Europe in Rome as a Latin translation issued around 1469. The first Greek edition was published in 1516 in Venice. Isaac Casaubon, classical scholar and editor of Greek texts, provided the first critical edition in 1587. Although Strabo cited the antique Greek astronomers Eratosthenes and Hipparchus, acknowledging their astronomical and mathematical efforts towards geography, he claimed that a descriptive approach was more practical, such that his works were designed for statesmen who were more anthropologically than numerically concerned with the character of countries and regions. As such, the book provides a valuable source of information on the ancient world, especially when this information is corroborated by other sources. The Geography, Volume II

The book takes the form of Huxley's recollection of a mescaline trip that took place over the course of an afternoon, and takes its title from a phrase in William Blake's poem The Marriage of Heaven and Hell. Huxley recalls the insights he experienced, which range from the "purely aesthetic" to "sacramental vision". He also incorporates later reflections on the experience and its meaning for art and religion. The Defeat of Youth and Other Poems
