MY WISHFUL WEDNESDAY [ 26 ] : "WORDSWORTH CLASSICS" [ Part I ]

[ source ]
MY WISHFUL WEDNESDAY ( 26 )
This week edition of Wishful Wednesday really special, ‘cause Astrid as the lovely host will (again) granted the wishes of ‘two’ (2) lucky winner who will be chosen randomly. And as always, I still gave such high hopes that ‘dear mr. Random’ will puts his magic wand to me (^_^)

I’m not gonna searching for new books, at least until the end of this year (hopefully it will control or reduce some of my books pile thsi year), that’s why I choose book from my previous wishlist, so here is my WW this week :




"THE KARAMAZOV BROTHERS"
By Fyodor Dostoyevsky
Wordsworth Classics Edition [ $ 5.14 ]
Preview :
As Fyodor Karamazov awaits an amorous encounter, he is violently done to death. The three sons of the old debauchee are forced to confront their own guilt or complicity. Who will own to parricide? The reckless and passionate Dmitri? The corrosive intellectual Ivan? Surely not the chaste novice monk Alyosha? The search reveals the divisions which rack the brothers, yet paradoxically unite them. Around the writhings of this one dysfunctional family Dostoevsky weaves a dense network of social, psychological and philosophical relationships. At the same time he shows - from the opening 'scandal' scene in the monastery to a personal appearance by an eccentric Devil - that his dramatic skills have lost nothing of their edge. The Karamazov Brothers, completed a few months before Dostoevsky's death in 1881, remains for many the high point of his genius as novelist and chronicler of the modern malaise. It cast a long shadow over D. H. Lawrence, Thomas Mann, Albert Camus, and other giants of twentieth-century European literature.

"Twenty Years After"
By Alexandre Dumas
Wordsworth Classics Edition [ $ 4.84 ]
Preview :
A year after the publication of The Three Musketeers, Alexandre Dumas produced a sequel worthy in every respect of the original. In Twenty Years After the much beloved D'Artaganan, Athos, Porthos and Aramis reunite to fight the forces of evil. In the original novel they defeated Milady, a formidable foe; now they need to face her vengeful son Mordaunt, as well as countering the machinations of the sinister Cardinal Mazarin. Their adventures also take them to England, where Cromwell is about to topple Charles I. Meanwhile, they must overcome the obstacles which the passing of time has placed between them. Rediscovering strength in unity, they fight for Queen and country. The Musketeer novels were a huge success in Dumas' own lifetime, and have lost none of their original appeal. Translated into many languages and adapted for cinema and television, they have helped to make Dumas arguably the most successful exporter of French culture to the wider world.
