Dracula (Royal Collector's Edition) - Bram Stoker - Bog - Royal Classics - Plusbog.dk

Dracula (Royal Collector's Edition) - Bram Stoker - Bog - Royal Classics - Plusbog.dk

When Count Dracula departs Transylvania on a Russian ship, crew members begin to mysteriously disappear. After the ship docks, and more people are attacked, rumours of a monster quickly spread. When Abraham Van Helsing is asked to intervene, Dracula meets his match. On his quest to find Dracula, Van Helsing is forced to hunt newly made vampires, using a cross, garlic, and a wooden steak as weapons. But tracking down Dracula will prove to be harder, and more dangerous that Van Helsing could have ever imagined. Bram Stoker named Count Dracula after the 15th century Romanian king, Vlad iii. His father, Vlad ii was given the surname Dracul in 1431 after being inducted into the Order of the Dragon. Dracula literally means ''Son of Dracul''. Vlad iii was also know as Vlad the Impaler for killing nearly 100,000 people with wooden stakes. In the novel, Stoker twice alludes to Count Dracula being the very same Vlad iii of Romania.

Nicomachean Ethics (Royal Collector's Edition) (Case Laminate Hardcover with Jacket) - - Bog - Royal Classics - Plusbog.dk

Nicomachean Ethics (Royal Collector's Edition) (Case Laminate Hardcover with Jacket) - - Bog - Royal Classics - Plusbog.dk

The Nicomachean Ethics is the name normally given to Aristotle''s best-known work on ethics. It is widely considered one of the most important historical philosophical works, and had an important impact upon the European Middle Ages, becoming one of the core works of medieval philosophy. It therefore indirectly became critical in the development of all modern philosophy as well as European law and theology. The theme of Nicomachean Ethics is a Socratic question previously explored in the works of Plato, Aristotle''s friend and teacher, of how men should best live. Ethics, as now separated out for discussion by Aristotle, is practical rather than theoretical, in the original Aristotelian senses of these terms. Ethics is about how individuals should best live, while the study of politics is from the perspective of a law-giver, looking at the good of a whole community.

Meditations (Royal Collector's Edition) (Case Laminate Hardcover with Jacket) - Marcus Aurelius - Bog - Royal Classics - Plusbog.dk

Meditations (Royal Collector's Edition) (Case Laminate Hardcover with Jacket) - Marcus Aurelius - Bog - Royal Classics - Plusbog.dk

Meditations is a series of personal writings by Marcus Aurelius, Roman Emperor from 161 to 180 AD, recording his private notes to himself and ideas on Stoic philosophy. Marcus Aurelius wrote the 12 books of the Meditations as a source for his own guidance and self-improvement. They are a significant source of the modern understanding of ancient Stoic philosophy, and have been praised by fellow writers, philosophers, monarchs, and politicians centuries after his death. A central theme to Meditations is the importance of analyzing one''s judgment of self and others and the development of a cosmic perspective. He advocates finding one''s place in the universe and sees that everything came from nature, and so everything shall return to it in due time. Another strong theme is of maintaining focus and to be without distraction all the while maintaining strong ethical principles.

Candide (Royal Collector's Edition) (Annotated) (Case Laminate Hardcover with Jacket) - Voltaire - Bog - Royal Classics - Plusbog.dk

Candide (Royal Collector's Edition) (Annotated) (Case Laminate Hardcover with Jacket) - Voltaire - Bog - Royal Classics - Plusbog.dk

Candide is living a sheltered life in an Edenic paradise and being indoctrinated with Leibnizian optimism (or simply "optimism") by his mentor, Professor Pangloss. Voltaire describes the abrupt cessation of this lifestyle, followed by Candide''s slow, painful disillusionment as he witnesses and experiences great hardships in the world. Voltaire concludes with Candide, if not rejecting optimism outright, advocating a deeply practical precept, "we must cultivate our garden", in lieu of the Leibnizian mantra of Pangloss, "all is for the best" in the "best of all possible worlds." As expected by Voltaire, Candide has enjoyed both great success and great scandal. Immediately after its secretive publication, the book was widely banned because it contained religious blasphemy, political sedition and intellectual hostility hidden under a thin veil of naïveté. However, with its sharp wit and insightful portrayal of the human condition, the novel has since inspired many later authors and artists to mimic and adapt it. Today, Candide is recognized as Voltaire''s magnum opus and is often listed as part of the Western canon; it is among the most frequently taught works of French literature. The British poet and literary critic Martin Seymour-Smith listed Candide as one of the 100 most influential books ever written.

Frankenstein (Royal Collector's Edition) (Case Laminate Hardcover with Jacket) - Mary Shelley - Bog - Royal Classics - Plusbog.dk

Victor Frankenstein is consumed by his desire to discover the secrets of life. After several years of research, Victor feverishly constructs a man out of old body parts and brings him to life. Victor is immediately horrified by his ambitious creation, and flees his apartment in remorse. The newborn monster disappears from Frankenstein''s laboratory and enters the world as an outcast, struggling with his own identity. What follows is a gripping tale of murder, injustice, and revenge. Since 1818 Frankenstein has been associated with scientists who are consumed with their experiments, and oblivious to the repercussions. Among them are the brains behind the nuclear arms race, scientists who create super bacteria, and laboratories that experiment with artificial black holes. But most notably is the area of science devoted to gene manipulation, both in genetically modified foods and human cloning. Frankenstein has much to teach us in a world where we constantly test the limits of science and human ambition. This case laminate collector''s edition includes a Victorian inspired dust-jacket.

Ulysses (Royal Collector's Edition) (Case Laminate Hardcover with Jacket) - James Joyce - Bog - Royal Classics - Plusbog.dk

Ulysses (Royal Collector's Edition) (Case Laminate Hardcover with Jacket) - James Joyce - Bog - Royal Classics - Plusbog.dk

Ulysses chronicles the peripatetic appointments and encounters of Leopold Bloom in Dublin in the course of an ordinary day, 16 June 1904. Ulysses is the Latinised name of Odysseus, the hero of Homer''s epic poem Odyssey, and the novel establishes a series of parallels between the poem and the novel, with structural correspondences between the characters and experiences of Leopold Bloom and Odysseus, Molly Bloom and Penelope, and Stephen Dedalus and Telemachus, in addition to events and themes of the early twentieth century context of modernism, Dublin, and Ireland''s relationship to Britain. The novel imitates registers of centuries of English literature and is highly allusive. Since publication, Ulysses has attracted controversy and scrutiny, ranging from early obscenity trials to protracted textual "Joyce Wars". Ulysses'' stream-of-consciousness technique, careful structuring, and experimental prose - full of puns, parodies, and allusions - as well as its rich characterisation and broad humour, made the book a highly regarded novel in the modernist pantheon. Joyce fans worldwide now celebrate 16 June as Bloomsday. In 1998, the American publishing firm Modern Library ranked Ulysses first on its list of the 100 best English-language novels of the 20th century.

Paradise Lost (Royal Collector's Edition) (Case Laminate Hardcover with Jacket) - John Milton - Bog - Royal Classics - Plusbog.dk

Paradise Lost (Royal Collector's Edition) (Case Laminate Hardcover with Jacket) - John Milton - Bog - Royal Classics - Plusbog.dk

Paradise Lost concerns the biblical story of the Fall of Man. The epic poem follows two narrative arcs, one about Satan and the other following Adam and Eve. It begins after Satan and the other rebel angels have been defeated and banished to Hell. The narrative follows the temptation of Adam and Eve by Satan and their expulsion from the Garden of Eden. After losing the total freedom and power to rule over all creation, Archangel Michael gives Adam a glimpse at Mankind''s potential redemption from original sin. Paradise Lost is an epic poem by the 17 th -century English poet John Milton. Milton''s 17 th -century contemporaries by and large criticised his ideas and considered him as a radical, mostly because of his views on politics and religion. Milton also revolted against the idea of a monarch ruling by divine right, viewing the practice as idolatrous. Paradise Lost is considered by critics to be Milton''s major work, and it helped solidify his reputation as one of the greatest English poets of his time.

Walden (Royal Collector's Edition) (Case Laminate Hardcover with Jacket) - Henry David Thoreau - Bog - Royal Classics - Plusbog.dk

Walden (Royal Collector's Edition) (Case Laminate Hardcover with Jacket) - Henry David Thoreau - Bog - Royal Classics - Plusbog.dk

Walden details Henry David Thoreau''s experiences over the course of two years, two months, and two days in a cabin he built near Walden Pond amidst woodland owned by his friend and mentor Ralph Waldo Emerson, near Concord, Massachusetts. The text is a reflection upon simple living in natural surroundings. The work is part personal declaration of independence, social experiment, voyage of spiritual discovery, satire, and-to some degree-a manual for self-reliance. Walden can be seen as performance art, a demonstration of how easy it can be to acquire the four necessities of life. Once acquired, he believed people should then focus their efforts on personal growth. Thoreau hoped to gain a more objective understanding of society through personal introspection. Simple living and self-sufficiency were Thoreau''s other goals, and the whole project was inspired by transcendentalist philosophy, a central theme of the American Romantic Period.

Moby Dick (Royal Collector's Edition) (Case Laminate Hardcover with Jacket) - Herman Melville - Bog - Royal Classics - Plusbog.dk

Moby Dick (Royal Collector's Edition) (Case Laminate Hardcover with Jacket) - Herman Melville - Bog - Royal Classics - Plusbog.dk

A sailor called Ishmael narrates the obsessive quest of Ahab, captain of the whaler Pequod, for revenge on Moby Dick, a white whale which on a previous voyage destroyed Ahab''s ship and severed his leg at the knee. Although the novel was a commercial failure and out of print at the time of the author''s death in 1891, its reputation as a Great American Novel grew during the 20th century. William Faulkner confessed he wished he had written it himself, and D. H. Lawrence called it "one of the strangest and most wonderful books in the world", and "the greatest book of the sea ever written." Moby Dick is considered as an outstanding work of Romanticism. The product of a year and a half of writing, the book draws on Melville''s experience at sea, on his reading in whaling literature, and on literary inspirations such as Shakespeare and the Bible. The detailed and realistic descriptions of whale hunting and of extracting whale oil, as well as life aboard ship among a culturally diverse crew, are mixed with exploration of class and social status, good and evil, and the existence of God. In addition to narrative prose, Melville uses styles and literary devices ranging from songs, poetry and catalogs to Shakespearean stage directions, soliloquies and asides.

Crime and Punishment (Royal Collector's Edition) (Case Laminate Hardcover with Jacket) - Fyodor Dostoyevsky - Bog - Royal Classics - Plusbog.dk

Crime and Punishment follows the mental anguish and moral dilemmas of Rodion Raskolnikov, an impoverished ex-student in St. Petersburg who formulates and executes a plan to kill an unscrupulous pawnbroker for her cash. Raskolnikov, in attempts to defend his actions, argues that with the pawnbroker''s money he can perform good deeds to counterbalance the crime, while ridding the world of a vermin.

Several times throughout the novel, Raskolnikov compares himself with Napoleon Bonaparte and shares his belief that murder is permissible in pursuit of a higher purpose. Dostoyevsky''s literary works explore human psychology in the troubled political, social, and spiritual atmosphere of 19th century Russia. Many literary critics rate him as one of the greatest psychologists in world literature. This case laminate collector''s edition includes a Victorian inspired dust-jacket.

The Prince (Royal Collector's Edition) (Annotated) (Case Laminate Hardcover with Jacket) - Niccolo Machiavelli - Bog - Royal Classics - Plusbog.dk

The Prince (Royal Collector's Edition) (Annotated) (Case Laminate Hardcover with Jacket) - Niccolo Machiavelli - Bog - Royal Classics - Plusbog.dk

Machiavelli draws on his extensive historical knowledge and experience as a statesman to examine the reasons that Kings, Emperors, Dukes and governments have thrived or crumbled, while highlighting the principles that guided them. In each case Machiavelli suggests a set of principles that any leader would find difficult to follow, but impossible to ignore. The Prince has had a profound influence on political thought over the past 500 years, so much so that the term ''Machiavellian'' is used to describe one who deceives and manipulates others. This is likely derived from Machiavelli''s view that "it is often necessary to act against mercy, against faith, against humanity, against frankness, against religion, in order to preserve the state." Machiavelli continues to provide an understanding of how world leaders think, and why certain decisions are made. A must read for the politically inclined and those interested in world events and the affairs of state. This case laminate collector''s edition includes a Victorian inspired dust-jacket.

The Corpus Hermeticum (Royal Collector's Edition) (Case Laminate Hardcover with Jacket) - Hermes Trismegistus - Bog - Royal Classics - Plusbog.dk

The Corpus Hermeticum is a collection of Egyptian-Greek wisdom texts from the 2nd century or earlier. The texts form the basis of Hermeticism, which is a religious, philosophical, and esoteric tradition that held great importance during both the Renaissance and the Reformation periods. The work discusses the divine, the cosmos, the mind, alchemy, astrology, and nature. The Corpus Hermeticum dwells upon the oneness and goodness of God, urges purification of the soul, and discusses a spiritual rebirth through the enlightenment of the mind. Much of the importance of Hermeticism arises from its connection with the development of science between 1300 to 1600 AD. The prominence that it gave to the idea of influencing or controlling nature led many scientists to look to magic and its allied arts. Sir Isaac Newton placed great faith in the concept of an unadulterated, pure, ancient doctrine, which he studied vigorously to aid his understanding of the physical world.

The Three Musketeers (Royal Collector's Edition) (Illustrated) (Case Laminate Hardcover with Jacket) - Alexandre Dumas - Bog - Royal Classics -

When young d''Artagnan travels to Paris to join the ranks of the Musketeers, he soon finds himself challenged to three duels with Athos, Porthos and Aramis. However, the foursome is abruptly attacked by the evil Cardinal Richelieu''s guards, and d''Artagnan fights alongside them, proving his skills with a sword and his honour. The three Musketeers enfold d''Artagnan into their ranks, and what follows is a swashbuckling tale full of intrigue, friendship and revenge. Alexandre Dumas got the idea for The Three Musketeers from Courtilz de Sandras'' 1700 novel Mémoires de Monsieur d''Artagnan, which was based on real events surrounding the lives of d''Artagnan, Athos, Porthos and Aramis. Dumas made them human, gave them colour, and made them more real than even the truth itself. Since then the term ''Three Musketeers'' has been used to describe a trio of individuals who support each other including Supreme Court Justices, engineers and Japanese wrestlers.

Don Quixote (Royal Collector's Edition) (Case Laminate Hardcover with Jacket) - Miguel De Cervantes - Bog - Royal Classics - Plusbog.dk

The story follows the adventures of a nameless hidalgo who reads so many chivalric romances that he loses his sanity and decides to set out to revive chivalry, undo wrongs, and bring justice to the world, under the name Don Quixote. He recruits a simple farmer, Sancho Panza, as his squire, who often employs a unique, earthy wit in dealing with Don Quixote''s rhetorical orations on antiquated knighthood. Don Quixote, in the first part of the book, does not see the world for what it is and prefers to imagine that he is living out a knightly story. Published in two volumes, in 1605 and 1615, Don Quixote is considered one of the most influential works of literature from the Spanish Golden Age and the entire Spanish literary canon. As a founding work of modern Western literature and one of the earliest canonical novels, it regularly appears high on lists of the greatest works of fiction ever published, such as the Bokklubben World Library collection that cites Don Quixote as authors'' choice for the "best literary work ever written."

The History of the Peloponnesian War (Royal Collector's Edition) (Case Laminate Hardcover with Jacket) - - Bog - Royal Classics - Plusbog.dk

The History of the Peloponnesian War (Royal Collector's Edition) (Case Laminate Hardcover with Jacket) - - Bog - Royal Classics - Plusbog.dk

The History of the Peloponnesian War is a historical account of the Peloponnesian War (431-404 BC), which was fought between the Peloponnesian League (led by Sparta) and the Delian League (led by Athens). It was written by Thucydides, an Athenian historian who also happened to serve as an Athenian general during the war. His account of the conflict is widely considered to be a classic and regarded as one of the earliest scholarly works of history. The History of the Peloponnesian War begins with a brief review of early Greek history and some programmatic historiographical commentary. It then seeks to explain why the Peloponnesian War broke out when it did and what its causes were. Except for a few short asides, the remainder of the History rigidly maintains its focus on the Peloponnesian War to the exclusion of other topics. While the History concentrates on the military aspects of the Peloponnesian War, it uses these events as a medium to discuss atrocities, realpolitik, justice, and the socially and culturally degenerative effects of war on humanity itself.
