    Summary:
    "Pride and Prejudice" is Jane Austen's classic comic romance, in which the five Bennett sisters try to find that most elusive creature: a single man in possession of a large fortune. Sparks fly when sweet, pretty Jane meets their new neighbor, Mr. Bingley, but her sister Elizabeth is most offended by his haughty friend, Mr. Darcy. This is Austen at the height of her powers: the ironic narration, hilariously drawn supporting characters, and romantic suspense make this her most enduringly popular novel. ©2017 Oregan Publishing (P)2017 Oregan Publishing

    Summary:
    This fragment of a novel was written by Jane Austen in 1804 and remained untitled and unpublished until her nephew James Edward Austen-Leigh printed it in his "A Memoir of Jane Austen" in 1871. The title is from him. Mr Watson is a widowed clergyman with two sons and four daughters. The youngest daughter, Emma, has been brought up by a wealthy aunt and is consequently better educated and more refined than her sisters. But when her aunt contracts a foolish second marriage, Emma is obliged to return to her father's house. There she is chagrined by the crude and reckless husband-hunting of two of her twenty-something sisters. ©2017 Oregan Publishing (P)2017 Oregan Publishing

    Résumé:
    "Il se souvint des conseils du vieux de Sulphur Creek. Ce dernier lui avait exposé avec la plus grande gravité la règle de survie selon laquelle aucun homme ne doit voyager seul dans la région du Klondike, quand la température passe au-dessous de moins quarante-cinq degrés. Néanmoins, il s'y était risqué. Il avait eu l'accident tant redouté et il était seul." Cette nouvelle, l'une des plus connues de Jack London, est une étonnante évocation du courage et de l'énergie propres aux aventuriers du Grand Nord. Une magnfique leçon pour ne pas oublier que, dans ces contrées, il ne faut jamais voyager seul... ©2007 Éditions Phébus, Paris (P)2017 Éditions Gallimard

    Summary:
    "Kongelig Højhed" er Thomas Manns anden roman, og har herhjemme stået i skyggen af Manns andre store værker "Buddenbrooks", "Trolddomsbjerget" og "Døden i Venedig". Det er første gang, at historien om Klaus Heinrich, der vokser op og bliver Hans Kongelige Højhed, forelægger i en ren dansk oversættelse. Det er histoien om residensbyen Grimmsburg der på tærsklen til det tyvende århundrede kæmper med et omfattende forfald. Jernbanen er urentabel, administrationen gammeldags og universitetet provinsielt. I midten af dette forfald, befinder Storhertugen Prins Albrecht sig, fortvivlet over, at den eneste arving er svagelig, og at næste barn i arvefølgen, Klaus Heinrich, er født med et handicap. Men på trods af sin forkrøblede venstre arm, overtager Klaus Heinrich hertugens forpligtigelser. Kongelig højhed udvikler sig til en kærlighedshistorie, da Klaus Heinrich møder Imma Spoelmann, datter af en amerikansk stålmagnat. Fortællingen om det lille forfaldsramte samfund, ender derfor med en mulig alliance mellem den gamle slidte adel, og den nye borgerlige overklasse. ©2017 Gyldendal.

The owner of the house hears about this and requests to speak to the porter, finding that they are both named Sinbad. The rich Sinbad tells the poor Sinbad that he became wealthy "by fortune and fate" in the course of seven wondrous voyages, which he then proceeds to tell.
