Peter Pan is a character created by Scottish novelist and playwright J. M. Barrie (1860–1937). A mischievous boy who can fly and magically refuses to grow up, Peter Pan spends his never-ending childhood adventuring on the small island of Neverland as the leader of his gang the Lost Boys, interacting with mermaids, Indians, fairies, and pirates, and (from time to time) meeting ordinary children from the world outside. In addition to two distinct works by Barrie, the character has been featured in a variety of media and merchandise, both adapting and expanding on Barrie's works. (Wikipedia)

Les Trois Mousquetaires

Fiction & Literature

Les 67 chapitres de ce roman racontent l'histoire d'un jeune gascon, d'Artagnan, venu chercher fortune à Paris. L'action se situe en 1625, sous le règne de Louis XIII. Le jeune gascon, courageux et rusé, est muni d'une lettre de recommandation de son père pour M. de Tréville, commandant des Mousquetaires. Très vite, d'Artagnan devient l'ami de trois gentilshommes, mousquetaires du roi, Athos (comte de la Fère), Porthos (du Vallon) et Aramis (Chevalier d'Herblay). Une vieille rivalité oppose les mousquetaires du roi aux gardes du Cardinal de Richelieu. Le quatuor se constitue d'ailleurs, à la suite d'un combat victorieux contre les gardes du Cardinal. Athos, le comte de la Fère, a été ruiné par un tragique mariage avec une aventurière; Porthos, un géant, dont le véritable nom est du Vallon, est un compagnon plutôt débonnaire ; Aramis, chevalier d'Herblay, oscille, lui, constamment entre le mysticisme et amours galantes. Les quatre amis au service du couple royal vont sauver la reine Anne d'Autriche des perfides manœuvres de Richelieu. Sur une insinuation du cardinal, le roi invite la reine à porter, lors du prochain bal de la cour, les douze ferrets de diamants, qu'il lui a naguère offerts. Or celle-ci a donné la précieuse parure à son amant, le duc de Buckingham. D'Artagnan va se retrouver aux prises avec la perfide Milady de Winter, redoutable agent du cardinal, qui s'avère être aussi l'ancienne épouse d'Athos. Il va tomber également amoureux de Constance de Bonacieux, fidèle femme de chambre de la reine Anne d'Autriche. D'Artagnan et ses amis sont chargés de récupérer les bijoux en Angleterre. Ils doivent affronter les agents de Richelieu, menés par le sombre Rochefort, et surtout Milady. Poursuivis par les gardes de Richelieu, au terme d'un parcours semé d'embûches, d'Artagnan et les Trois Mousquetaires réussissent à rapporter les ferrets à la reine. Alors que les mousquetaires brillent à nouveau au siège la Rochelle, Milady, qui a commandité le meurtre de Buckingham et empoisonné Constance Bonacieux, femme de chambre de la reine et aimée de d'Artagnan, est arrêtée et exécutée. D'artagnan, réconcilié avec le cardinal de Richelieu est promu lieutenant. Athos se retire à a campagne, Porthos se marie et Aramis devient prêtre.

Greek and Roman Mythology Pack

Fiction & Literature

Most authors within this collection are famous exclusively for their work with mythology and heroic legends, while others are famous for their advancement of the philosophy of stoicism. If the reader is interested in myths belonging to the ancient Greeks and Romans concerning their gods and heroes, then this collection is right for you. This collection contains the following works: Lucius Annaeus Seneca’s Complete Tragedies: Agamemnon, Hercules, Hercules Oetaeus I & II, Medea, Oedipus, Phaedra, Phoenissae, Thyestes, and Troades Ovid’s Metamorphoses Plutarch’s On Isis and Osiris Aeschylus’ Prometheus Bound Hesiod’s Theogony Apollodorus’ Library of Greek Mythology Lucius Annaeus Seneca was a Roman Stoic philosopher, statesman, dramatist, and—in one work—humorist of the Silver Age of Latin literature. As a tragedian, he is best-known for his Medea and Thyestes. Seneca's plays were widely read in medieval and Renaissance European universities and strongly influenced tragic drama in that time, such as Elizabethan England (William Shakespeare and other playwrights), France (Corneille and Racine), and the Netherlands (Joost van den Vondel). He is regarded as the source and inspiration for what is known as "Revenge Tragedy," starting with Thomas Kyd's The Spanish Tragedy and continuing well into the Jacobean era. Thyestes is considered to be Seneca's masterpiece, and has been described by scholar Dana Gioia as "one of the most influential plays ever written." The Metamorphoses (Books of Transformations) is a Latin narrative poem by the Roman poet Ovid, considered his magnum opus. Comprising fifteen books and over 250 myths, the poem chronicles the history of the world from its creation to the deification of Julius Caesar within a loose mythico-historical framework. Although meeting the criteria for an epic, the poem defies simple genre classification by its use of varying themes and tones. Ovid took inspiration from the genre of metamorphosis poetry, and some of the Metamorphoses derives from earlier treatment of the same myths; however, he diverged significantly from all of his models. Plutarch was a Greek biographer and essayist, known primarily for his Parallel Lives and Moralia, the latter of which On Isis and Osiris is derived. On Isis and Osiris was one of Plutarch’s essays containing vast and beautiful descriptions of Egyptian rites and myths. Prometheus Bound is an ancient Greek tragedy often attributed to Aeschylus. The tragedy is based on the myth of Prometheus, a Titan who defies the gods and gives fire to mankind, acts for which he is subjected to perpetual punishment. Theogony is a poem by Hesiod (8th – 7th century BC) describing the origins and genealogies of the Greek gods, composed c. 700 BC. It is written in the Epic dialect of Ancient Greek. Hesiod's Theogony is a large-scale synthesis of a vast variety of local Greek traditions concerning the gods, organized as a narrative that tells how they came to be and how they established permanent control over the Cosmos. It is the first Greek mythical cosmogony. The initial state of the universe is chaos, a dark indefinite void considered a divine primordial condition from which everything else appeared. Theogonies are a part of Greek mythology which embodies the desire to articulate reality as a whole; this universalizing impulse was fundamental for the first later projects of speculative theorizing. To round out the end of the collection, The Bibliotheca (Library of Greek Mythology) is a compendium of Greek myths and heroic legends, arranged in three books, generally dated to the first or second century AD. The Bibliotheca has been called "the most valuable mythographical work that has come down from ancient times".
