Arthur, Schopenhauer

The classic introductory text to philosophy by one of the 20th century's leading intellectuals.   "Philosophy, if it cannot answer so many questions as we could wish, has at least the power of asking questions which increase the interest of the world, and show the strangeness and wonder lying just below the surface even in the commonest things of daily life."

The Problems of Philosophy

Bertrand, Russell

Alexander Lurikov's stories are filled with eccentric characters - loners, idlers, impostors, voyeurs, and other misfits who are obsessed with the past and often unable to separate their dreams and fantasies from reality. They lead contemplative, melancholy lives, and though they are determined to remain at a distance from the rest of the world, they constantly find themselves stumbling into bizarre situations with strangers. In addition to The End of the World, this collection includes eight other stories: Doctor Highlane, Diary of a Discontent, Demise, Man Seeking Women, The Key, A Continual Farewell, Oliver the Abominable, and Grains of the Golden Sand.

“To speak of the detective story is to speak of Edgar Allan Poe, who invented the genre.”                        — Jorge Luis Borges   Before Sherlock Holmes there was C. Auguste Dupin, the brilliant Parisian detective whose unique powers of observation and deduction allowed him to solve the most mysterious of crimes. The Detective Stories of Edgar Allan Poe brings together all three stories featuring Dupin: The Murders in the Rue Morgue, The Mystery of Marie Rogêt, and The Purloined Letter. In these pages lie the very origins of the detective story, a genre Poe not only invented but mastered. As Arthur Conan Doyle acknowledged, Poe “was father of the detective tale, and covered its limits so completely I fail to see how his followers can find ground to call their own.”
