Book Description
One of the greatest translations of all time: Scott Moncrieff's classic version of Proust, published in three stunning clothbound volumes designed by Coralie Bickford-Smith. Proust's masterpiece is one of the seminal works of the twentieth century, recording its narrator's experiences as he grows up, falls in love and lives through the First World War. A profound reflection on art, time, memory, self and loss, it is often viewed as the definitive modern novel. C. K. Scott Moncrieff's famous translation from the 1920s is today regarded as a classic in its own right and is now available in three volumes in Penguin Classics. This first volume includes Swann's Way and Within a Budding Grove. 'Scott Moncrieff's [volumes] belong to that special category of translations which are themselves literary masterpieces ... his book is one of those translations, such as the Authorized Version of the Bible itself, which can never be displaced' - A. N. Wilson 'For the reader wishing to tackle Proust your guide must be C K Scott Moncrieff ... There are some who believe his headily perfumed translation of À la recherche du temps perdu conjures Belle Époque France more vividly even than the original' - Telegraph 'I was more interested and fascinated by your rendering than by Proust's creation' - Joseph Conrad to Scott Moncrieff

Book Description
In his Aesthetics Hegel gives full expression to his seminal theory of art. He surveys the history of art from ancient India, Egypt, and Greece through to the Romantic movement of his own time, criticizes major works, and probes their meaning and significance; his rich array of examples gives broad scope for his judgement and makes vivid his exposition of his theory. The substantial Introduction is Hegel's best exposition of his general philosophy of art, and provides the ideal way into his Aesthetics. In Part I he considers the general nature of art: he distinguishes art, as a spiritual experience, from religion and philosophy; he discusses the beauty of art and differentiates it from the beauty of nature; and he examines artistic genius and originality. Part II provides a sort of history of art, divded into three periods called Symbolic (India, Persia, Egypt), Classical (Greece), and Romantic (medieval and post-medieval up to the end of the eighteenth century). Part III deals individually with architecture, scuplture, painting, music, and literature.

Book Description
"If you sleep with me, you'll have to take responsibility." The man's eyes darkened as he pressed the soft, little girl down on top of her."I'll give you money, please let me go." The little woman had a bashful expression as she bit her lips and glared at him."You can't! I'm a virgin! You broke my body, so I can't be bought!" The man didn't know shame, so he continued to press the little girl down on top of her."Please, let me go, I'm only 18 years old." The little woman's face was filled with tears, looking extremely pitiful."If you marry me, I'll let you go." A certain evil official smiled and handed a piece of paper over to her ..."Give me a child, and I'll let you go." A certain man was suppressing the little woman."Don't even think about it, I won't cripple you." Holding the silver needle in his hand, he shot it towards the lower half of the man's body."If you cripple me, you can forget about escaping. In this life, you won't be able to escape." The man leaped away from the flying needles."Humph, they are all swindlers, not a single one of them is good." A certain woman gritted her teeth in hatred."I'm not lying to you, I'm him!" The man lifted the clothes in front of him, revealing the heart-shaped scar on his chest and the ring. She had been searching for that ring for a long time.
