This collection of poems by Friedrich Schiller belongs to the second period of his works (1785 - 1789) and contains the widely known "Hymn to Joy", also known as "Ode to Joy", which became the basis for the fourth movement of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony.It was a phase of Schiller's intense occupation with history and with drama. But even though Schiller wrote only few poems during this time, particularly the above mentioned "Hymn to Joy" and the poem "Resignation", which features the religious contention between a deceased soul and eternity, these poems do give a fascinating insight into the genius of this giant of German Literature.This volume follows Schiller's Poems - The First Period - (ISBN 978-1-78139-092-4).

Pierre Jules Théophile Gautier (1811 - 1872) was a French writer and critic.In his youth Gautier was an adherent of Romanticism, but later his work became difficult to classify and he remains a point of reference for many subsequent literary traditions such as Parnassianism, Symbolism, Decadence and Modernism. He rejected bourgeois everyday life saying that it is a kingdom of vulgar men and hucksters. He despised petit bourgeois moralizing and democratic ideological content in literature. This book of poems - Enamels and Cameos - is his last and some consider his most important work. It focusses on the beauty of everyday life, his poetry becoming compact and Gautier's poetry changes profoundly, becoming compact and stark, as Gautier explained, "treating tiny subjects in a severely formal way."He was widely esteemed by writers as diverse as Balzac, Baudelaire, the Goncourt brothers, Flaubert, Proust and Oscar Wilde.

A complete edition of a Danish classic literary masterpiece. Books I to IV: I. Boyhood; II. Apprenticeship; III. The Great Struggle; IV. Daybreak.A boat filled with emigrants from Sweden arrives at the Danish island of Bornholm. Among them are Lasse and his son Pelle who have moved to Denmark to find work after the death of Pelle's mother. They find employment at a large farm, but find themselves treated as the lowest form of life. It is only as Pelle starts to speak Danish that he begins to gain in confidence, but is still discriminated against as a foreigner. But neither boy nor father is willing to give up their dream of finding a better life than that which they left in Sweden.

One of many great works by E. Phillips Oppenheim, "prince of storytellers" from the late 19th and early 20th Century England.

This classic monograph on pathological lying, accusation, and swindling from 1915 contains a review of the literature to date, a series of twenty-seven case studies, and conclusions. The Healys were the first to concentrate almost exclusively on juvenile cases, and explore and analyse their causes and antecedents, using a mixture of qualitative and quantitative methods. Although outmoded in terminology and social attitudes, this work offers a fascinating insight into the realm of pathological lying and approaches to forensic psychology in the early twentieth century. This volume has been carefully hand-edited and re-indexed to be clear and complete.
