Each sister embodies a unique set of traits: Elinore is sense, discrete and of sound judgement; while Marianne is sensibility. emotional and impulsive.

Collected Works of Robert Louis Stevenson 7 Books Collection Boxed Set - Non Fiction - Paperback Wilco BooksTitles in This Set: 1. David Balfour 2. The Master of Ballantrae 3. The Black Arrow 4. Kidnapped 5. The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde 6. Prince Otto 7. Treasure Island Description: David Balfour "A GOOD CONSCIENCE IS EIGHT PARTS OF COURAGE." David Balfour is a fictional character set in Scotland in the 1700s. Robert Louis Stevenson's book, David Balfour, is the follow-up to Kidnapped. There are two parts to the book. David makes an effort to bring James Stewart (James of the Glens), who has been detained and accused of involvement in the Appin Murder, to justice in the first section. After making his case to a lawyer, David meets with the Lord Advocate to continue pursuing James innocence. After failing in his attempts to persuade the Lord, he is abducted and taken to Bass Rock, an island in the Firth of Forth, once more. James is found guilty at that point and given the death penalty. David gets to know Catriona MacGregor Drummond, the daughter of James MacGregor Drummond, popularly known as James More, while he is incarcerated, and the two fall in love. This book enthralls audiences as a tale of love, intrigue and adventure. The Master of Ballantrae "IT IS ONE OF THE WORST THINGS OF SENTIMENT THAT THE VOICE GROWS TO BE MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE WORDS, AND THE SPEAKER THAN THAT WHAT IS SPOKEN." The Master of Ballantrae by the Scottish author Robert Louis Stevenson centres on the struggle between two brothers, noblemen from Scotland, whose family is shattered by the 1745 Jacobite uprising. The book is a captivating and spine-chilling depiction of evil in 19th-century literature. It is set in different locations, including Scotland during the Jacobite rebellion, the French Indies, and the North American wilderness. The Master characterizes the corrupting influence he has on those he employs and how they experience his wickedness and charm.

The Collected Poems of J. R. R. Tolkien: 3 Books Collection Box Set - Non-Fiction - Hardback HarperCollins PublishersWorld first publication of the collected poems of J.R.R. Tolkien, spanning almost seven decades of the author’s life and presented in an elegant three-volume hardback boxed set. J.R.R. Tolkien aspired to be a poet in the first instance, and poetry was part of his creative life no less than his prose, his languages, and his art. Although Tolkien’s readers are aware that he wrote poetry, if only from verses in The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, its extent is not well known, and its qualities are underappreciated. Within his larger works of fiction, poems help to establish character and place as well as further the story; as individual works, they delight with words and rhyme. They express his love of nature and the seasons, of landscape and music, and of words. They convey his humour and his sense of wonder. The earliest work in this collection, written for his beloved, is dated to 1910, when Tolkien was eighteen. More poems would follow during his years at Oxford, some of them very elaborate and eccentric. Those he composed during the First World War, in which he served in France, tend to be concerned not with trenches and battle, but with life, loss, faith, and friendship, his longing for England, and the wife he left behind. Beginning in 1914, elements of his legendarium, ‘The Silmarillion’, began to appear, and the ‘Matter of Middle-earth’ would inspire much of Tolkien’s verse for the rest of his life. Within The Collected Poems of J.R.R. Tolkien almost 250 works are presented across three volumes, including more than 70 that have never before been seen. The poems are deftly woven together with commentary and notes by world-renowned Tolkien scholars Christina Scull & Wayne G. Hammond, placing them in the context of Tolkien’s life and literary accomplishments and creating a poetical biography that is a unique and revealing celebration of J.R.R. Tolkien.58,85 £*Shipping: 0,00 £Secure redirect to the provider

The Complete Works of Friedrich Nietzsche 6 Books Box Collection Set - Non Fiction - Paperback Classic Editions
Titles in this set: 1. The Twilight Of The Idols 2. Beyond Good And Evil 3. Human, All Too Human 4. Ecce Homo 5. Thus Spake Zarathustra 6. On The Genealogy Of Morals Titles in this Set: The Twilight Of The Idols The Twilight of the Idols by Friedrich Nietzsche is an examination and destruction of the antiquated ideals and values of the time. In this work, the author is on a warpath against reason. The attacks on contemporary philosophers are frequently hostile, and the suggested opinions, often devastating However, it shows a deep understanding of morality and man's mean-spiritedness, while keeping alive an underlying feeling of optimism and affirmation. Beyond Good And Evil Beyond Good and Evil is Friedrich Nietzsche's seminal work that delves further into the concept previously discussed in Thus Spoke Zarathustra. First published in 1886, this book tackles the debate between an individual's feeling to stand out among others and our desire to serve others. This book explores a wide gamut of themes what is considered evil today was perhaps believed to be good before, an analysis of Christian morality, deep insights into human psychology, the concept of nationalism. This masterpiece of aphorisms continues to inspire thinkers even now. Human, All Too Human A series of maxims on everything from passion, science, vanity, women, and youth, to art, arrogance, and boredom, Human, All Too Human was referred to by Nietzsche himself as "the monument of a crisis" because it was produced during a period of profound change in his life. With his new "positivism" and scepticism, Nietzsche challenged his earlier metaphysical and psychological presumptions. Here, almost all of the issues from his later work are presented in highly witty language with a distinctive perceptiveness and honesty, not to mention mistrust and cynicism. It is still one of the foundational books for comprehending Nietzsche's philosophy. Ecce Homo Ecce Homo: How One Becomes What One Is was written in German by philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche in 1888. It was not published until 1908. Nietzsche traces his life and offers his own interpretation of his development as a philosopher He emphatically points out how unique his ideas are. He shows himself as separate from the masses who give in to self-indulgent feelings of pity. He announces boldly about how he does not feel remorse. He fully submits himself to his fatalistic beliefs and accepts life as it comes. The book contains several chapters with ironic self-laudatory titles, such as "Why I Am So Wise", "Why 1 Am So Clever", and " Why 1 Am a Destiny". Half-mocking and half-earnest, Ecce Homo is the definitive expression of Nietzsche's core beliefs. Thus Spake Zarathustra Friedrich Nietzsche's Thus Spake Zarathustra, published in four volumes between 1883 and 1885, is a work of philosophical fiction which seeks to address the problem of existence in a world where "God is dead". The author's search for meaning culminates in Zarathustra, the...

David gets to know Catriona MacGregor Drummond, the daughter of James MacGregor Drummond, popularly known as James More, while he is incarcerated, and the two fall in love. This book enthralls audiences as a tale of love, intrigue and adventure. The Master of Ballantrae "IT IS ONE OF THE WORST THINGS OF SENTIMENT THAT THE VOICE GROWS TO BE MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE WORDS, AND THE SPEAKER THAN THAT WHAT IS SPOKEN." The Master of Ballantrae by the Scottish author Robert Louis Stevenson centres on the struggle between two brothers, noblemen from Scotland, whose family is shattered by the 1745 Jacobite uprising. The book is a captivating and spine-chilling depiction of evil in 19th-century literature. It is set in different locations, including Scotland during the Jacobite rebellion, the French Indies, and the North American wilderness. The Master characterizes the corrupting influence he has on those he employs and how they experience his wickedness and charm. His younger brother Henry, Henry's wife Alison, and others are all affected by him in some way. Stevenson's examination of moral ambiguity is further illustrated in this novel, just like in Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. The Black Arrow "WELL! MARRIAGE IS LIKE DEATH, IT COMES TO ALL."

The Collected Poems of J. R. R. Tolkien: 3 Books Collection Box Set - Non-Fiction - Hardback HarperCollins PublishersWorld first publication of the collected poems of J.R.R. Tolkien, spanning almost seven decades of the author’s life and presented in an elegant three-volume hardback boxed set. J.R.R. Tolkien aspired to be a poet in the first instance, and poetry was part of his creative life no less than his prose, his languages, and his art. Although Tolkien’s readers are aware that he wrote poetry, if only from verses in The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, its extent is not well known, and its qualities are underappreciated. Within his larger works of fiction, poems help to establish character and place as well as further the story; as individual works, they delight with words and rhyme. They express his love of nature and the seasons, of landscape and music, and of words. They convey his humour and his sense of wonder. The earliest work in this collection, written for his beloved, is dated to 1910, when Tolkien was eighteen. More poems would follow during his years at Oxford, some of them very elaborate and eccentric. Those he composed during the First World War, in which he served in France, tend to be concerned not with trenches and battle, but with life, loss, faith, and friendship, his longing for England, and the wife he left behind. Beginning in 1914, elements of his legendarium, ‘The Silmarillion’, began to appear, and the ‘Matter of Middle-earth’ would inspire much of Tolkien’s verse for the rest of his life. Within The Collected Poems of J.R.R. Tolkien almost 250 works are presented across three volumes, including more than 70 that have never before been seen. The poems are deftly woven together with commentary and notes by world-renowned Tolkien scholars Christina Scull & Wayne G. Hammond, placing them in the context of Tolkien’s life and literary accomplishments and creating a poetical biography that is a unique and revealing celebration of J.R.R. Tolkien.58,85 £*Shipping: 0,00 £Secure redirect to the provider

The Complete Works of Friedrich Nietzsche 6 Books Box Collection Set - Non Fiction - Paperback Classic EditionsTitles in this set: 1. The Twilight Of The Idols 2. Beyond Good And Evil 3. Human, All Too Human 4. Ecce Homo 5. Thus Spake Zarathustra 6. On The Genealogy Of Morals Titles in this Set: The Twilight Of The Idols The Twilight of the Idols by Friedrich Nietzsche is an examination and destruction of the antiquated ideals and values of the time. In this work, the author is on a warpath against reason. The attacks on contemporary philosophers are frequently hostile, and the suggested opinions, often devastating However, it shows a deep understanding of morality and man's mean-spiritedness, while keeping alive an underlying feeling of optimism and affirmation. Beyond Good And Evil Beyond Good and Evil is Friedrich Nietzsche's seminal work that delves further into the concept previously discussed in Thus Spoke Zarathustra. First published in 1886, this book tackles the debate between an individual's feeling to stand out among others and our desire to serve others. This book explores a wide gamut of themes what is considered evil today was perhaps believed to be good before, an analysis of Christian morality, deep insights into human psychology, the concept of nationalism. This masterpiece of aphorisms continues to inspire thinkers even now. Human, All Too Human A series of maxims on everything from passion, science, vanity, women, and youth, to art, arrogance, and boredom, Human, All Too Human was referred to by Nietzsche himself as "the monument of a crisis" because it was produced during a period of profound change in his life. With his new "positivism" and scepticism, Nietzsche challenged his earlier metaphysical and psychological presumptions. Here, almost all of the issues from his later work are presented in highly witty language with a distinctive perceptiveness and honesty, not to mention mistrust and cynicism. It is still one of the foundational books for comprehending Nietzsche's philosophy. Ecce Homo Ecce Homo: How One Becomes What One Is was written in German by philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche in 1888. It was not published until 1908. Nietzsche traces his life and offers his own interpretation of his development as a philosopher He emphatically points out how unique his ideas are. He shows himself as separate from the masses who give in to self-indulgent feelings of pity. He announces boldly about how he does not feel remorse. He fully submits himself to his fatalistic beliefs and accepts life as it comes. The book contains several chapters with ironic self-laudatory titles, such as "Why I Am So Wise", "Why 1 Am So Clever", and " Why 1 Am a Destiny". Half-mocking and half-earnest, Ecce Homo is the definitive expression of Nietzsche's core beliefs. Thus Spake Zarathustra Friedrich Nietzsche's Thus Spake Zarathustra, published in four volumes between 1883 and 1885, is a work of philosophical fiction which seeks to address the problem of existence in a world where "God is dead". The author's search for meaning culminates in Zarathustra, the...12,89 £*Shipping: 2,99 £Secure redirect to the provider
