Presentándose como el "Dr. Lemuel Gulliver", pretendió divulgar sus viajes en los que se encuentra con una serie de culturas extrañas. Este estilo literario de la divulgación de viajes era común en ese entonces, incluyendo la invención de culturas extrañas y "salvajes", diseñadas deliberadamente para remover las conciencias de los británicos de la época. El viaje a varias naciones lejanas del mundo del cirujano inglés Lemuel Gulliver, se toma a veces como historia para niños. Sin embargo, se trata de una de las obras de sátira política más importantes de la historia. Anticipó muchas discusiones actuales sobre la filosofía de la ciencia, la búsqueda de la inmortalidad humana, y los derechos de los animales.</p> http://www.feedbooks.com/book/3051.png http://www.feedbooks.com/book/3051.pdf http://www.feedbooks.com/book/3051.epub http://www.feedbooks.com/book/3051.mobi Keep Out Frederic Brown http://www.feedbooks.com/book/4000 en 1954 Short Fiction Science Fiction <p>With no more room left on Earth, and with Mars hanging up there empty of life, somebody hit on the plan of starting a colony on the Red Planet.

Mitford. These stories focus on the varying aspects of Japanese life in centuries past. The book, which was written in 1871, is still regarded as an excellent introduction to Japanese literature and culture, by virtue of its ease of access and supplemental notes by the writer. Also included are the author's eyewitness accounts of a selection of Japanese rituals, ranging from the harakiri and marriage to a selection of sermons. This book had a lasting influence on the Western perception of Japanese history, culture and society, particularly because of just one widely known tale about samurai revenge.</p> This work is available for countries where copyright is Life+70 and in the USA. http://www.feedbooks.com/book/2726.png http://www.feedbooks.com/book/2726.pdf http://www.feedbooks.com/book/2726.epub http://www.feedbooks.com/book/2726.mobi Olores, palabras, rincones fernando prats http://www.feedbooks.com/userbook/983 es 2007 "Olores, palabras, rincones es un libro escrito en diferentes lugares (Buenos Aires, Tucumán, París, Rotterdam, Köln, Orense) en 1999 y el autor cuenta con ello.

It takes place at some unspecified future date when mankind has entered another dark age as a result of the evils of irrationality and collectivism and the weaknesses of socialistic thinking and economics. Technological advancement is now carefully planned (when it is allowed to occur at all) and the concept of individuality has been eliminated (for example, the word "I" has disappeared from the language). As is common in her work, Rand draws a clear distinction between the "socialist/communal" values of equality and brotherhood and the "productive/capitalist" values of achievement and individuality. <br />Many of the novella's core themes, such as the struggle between individualism and collectivism, are echoed in Rand's later books, such as The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged. However, the style of "Anthem" is unique among Rand's work, more narrative-centered and economical, lacking the intense didactic expressions of philosophical abstraction that occur in later works. It is probably her most accessible work.</p> Please read the legal notice included in this e-book and/or check the copyright status in your country. http://www.feedbooks.com/book/2837.png http://www.feedbooks.com/book/2837.pdf http://www.feedbooks.com/book/2837.epub http://www.feedbooks.com/book/2837.mobi Forty Hadith Imam Ruhullah al-Musawi al-Khumayni http://www.feedbooks.com/userbook/832 en 1986 Forty Hadith An Exposition on 40 ahadith narrated through the Prophet [s] and his Ahl al-Bayt [a] Translated by: Mahliqa Qara'i (late) and Ali Quli Qara'i Published by: Al-Tawhid P.O Box 37165-111, Qum The Islamic Republic of Iran The original work in Persian, recently published under the title "Arba`in, ya chihil hadith" was written by Imam al-Khumayni forty-six years ago and was completed in the month of Muharram 1358 (April-May, 1939). islam Hadith Ahl al-Bayt http://www.feedbooks.com/userbook/832.png http://www.feedbooks.com/userbook/832.pdf http://www.feedbooks.com/userbook/832.epub http://www.feedbooks.com/userbook/832.mobi The Princess of Cleves Madame de la Fayette http://www.feedbooks.com/book/345 urn:isbn:0393963330 en 1678 Novels Romance <p>La Princesse de Clèves is a French novel, regarded by many as one of the first European novels, and a classic of its era.

Originally published in 1917, it contains the various Holmes stories published between 1908 and 1913, as well as the one-off title story from 1917. <br />The collection was originally called Reminiscences of Sherlock Holmes and did not contain the actual story His Last Bow, which appeared later, after the full-length The Valley of Fear was published. However later editions added it and changed the title. Some recent complete editions have restored the earlier title. <br />When the Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes were published in the USA for the first time, the publishers believed "The Adventure of the Cardboard Box" was too scandalous for the American public, since it dealt with the theme of adultery. As a result, this story was not published in the USA until many years later, when it was added to His Last Bow. Even today, most American editions of the canon include it with His Last Bow, while most British editions keep the story in its original place in The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes.</p> This work is available for countries where copyright is Life+70 and in the USA. http://www.feedbooks.com/book/65.png http://www.feedbooks.com/book/65.pdf http://www.feedbooks.com/book/65.epub http://www.feedbooks.com/book/65.mobi The Curious Case of Benjamin Button Francis Scott Fitzgerald http://www.feedbooks.com/book/3431 en 1922 Short Fiction <p>This story was inspired by a remark of Mark Twain's to the effect that it was a pity that the best part of life came at the beginning and the worst part at the end.

Several weeks after completing it, I discovered an almost identical plot in Samuel Butler's "Note-books." <br />The story was published in "Collier's" last summer and provoked this startling letter from an anonymous admirer in Cincinnati: <br />"Sir-- <br />I have read the story Benjamin Button in Colliers and I wish to say that as a short story writer you would make a good lunatic I have seen many peices of cheese in my life but of all the peices of cheese I have ever seen you are the biggest peice.
