Joseph Andrews & Shamela - Henry Fielding - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Joseph Andrews & Shamela - Henry Fielding - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

SHAMELA is a brilliant parody of Samuel Richardson''s PAMELA, in which a virtuous servant girl long resists her master''s advances and is eventually ''rewarded'' with marriage. Fielding''s far more spirited and sexually honest heroine, by contrast, merely uses coyness and mock modesty as techniques to catch a rich husband. JOSEPH ANDREWS, Fielding''s first full-length novel, can also be seen as a response to Richardson, as the lascivious Lady Booby sets out to seduce her comically chaste servant Joseph, (himself in love with the much-put-upon Fanny Goodwill). As in Tom Jones, Fielding takes a huge cast of characters out on the road and exposes them to many colourful and often hilarious adventures.

Lord Jim - Joseph Conrad - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Lord Jim - Joseph Conrad - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

This compact novel, completed in 1900, as with so many of the great novels of the time, is at its baseline a book of the sea. An English boy in a simple town has dreams bigger than the outdoors and embarks at an early age into the sailor''s life. The waters he travels reward him with the ability to explore the human spirit, while Joseph Conrad launches the story into both an exercise of his technical prowess and a delicately crafted picture of a character who reaches the status of a literary hero.

Making Globalization Work - Joseph Stiglitz - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Making Globalization Work - Joseph Stiglitz - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

From Nobel Prize winner Joseph Stiglitz, Making Globalization Work gives real, concrete ways to deal with third world debt, make trade fair and tackle global warming. In Globalization and its Discontents Joseph Stiglitz changed the views of the public and world leaders alike by showing why globalization doesn''t work for the world''s poor. In this bold, ambitious follow-up, Stiglitz shows how powerful organizations such as the UN, the IMF and the World Bank can be made to consider everyone''s interests. Stiglitz examines how change has occurred rapidly over the past four years, proposing solutions and looking to the future. He puts forward radical new solutions to the seemingly intractable international problems which we face - in forms that are more likely to be accepted both by the US and the developing world than previous proposals. Another world is possible, he argues, and is not only morally right, but of benefit to us all. ''Passionate, engaging ... he speaks from the heart as well as the head'' Independent ''The man with a mission to save the poor ... offers a wealth of ideas for global reform'' The Times ''A searing critique of conventional wisdom'' Newsweek ''An excellent book ... a lodestar for those who want to achieve a different and better world'' Guardian Joseph Stiglitz is one of the world''s best-known economists. He was Chief Economist at the World Bank until January 2000. Before that he was Chairman of President Clinton''s Council of Economic Advisers. He is currently Professor of Finance and Economics at Columbia University. He won the Nobel Prize for Economics in 2001 and is the author of the bestselling Globalization and Its Discontents and The Roaring Nineties , both published by Penguin.

Selected Poems - Joseph Brodsky - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Selected Poems - Joseph Brodsky - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

''Brodsky charged at the world . . . there is no voice, no vision, remotely like it'' The New York Times Book Review Self-educated, intense, impulsive and unmoored, Joseph Brodsky emerged in mid-century Russia as a poetic virtuoso, recognized by such greats as Anna Akhmatova as their worthy heir. He was expelled from the Soviet Union in 1972. Together, the poems in this volume unfold the project that, as Brodsky saw it, the condition of exile presented: ''to set the next man - however theoretical he and his needs may be - a bit more free.''This edition includes poems translated by Derek Walcott, Richard Wilbur and Anthony Hecht, and poems written in English or translated by the author himself. It surveys Brodsky''s tumultuous life and illustrious career, and showcases his most notable and poignant work as a poet.Winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature Edited and introduced by Ann Kjellberg

Watermark: An Essay on Venice - Joseph Brodsky - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

''Reading Brodsky''s essays is like a conversation with an immensely erudite, hugely entertaining and witty (and often very funny) interlocutor'' Wall Street Journal Watermark is Joseph Brodsky''s witty, intelligent, moving and elegant portrait of Venice. Looking at every aspect of the city, from its waterways, streets and architecture to its food, politics and people, Brodsky captures its magnificence and beauty, and recalls his own memories of the place he called home for many winters, as he remembers friends, lovers and enemies he has encountered. Above all, he reflects with great poetic force on how the rising tide of time affects city and inhabitants alike. Watermark is an unforgettable piece of writing, and a wonderful evocation of a remarkable, unique city. Winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature
