Harry potter saga

J.K. Rowling • 2021

Inclou els 7 llibres de la saga.<br/>Ara pots aconseguir la saga de Harry Potter sencera en un magnífic estoig. Conté els set títols de la saga més màgica de tots els temps: Harry Potter i la pedra filosofal, Harry Potter i la cambra secreta, Harry Potter i el pres d'Azkaban, Harry Potter i el calze de foc, Harry Potter i l'orde del Fènix, Harry Potter i el misteri del príncep i Harry Potter i les relíquies de la mort. Amb un atractiu disseny a càrrec de l’il·lustrador Jonny Duddle, aquest estoig és una proposta ideal tant per als amants de Harry Potter com per arribar a nous lectors.<br/>1. Harry Potter i la pedra filosofal:<br/>En Harry Potter no en sap res, de Hogwarts, quan les cartes comencen a arribar al número quatre del carrer Privet. Sobre un pergamí groguenc, porten l’adreça escrita amb tinta verda i un segell lila, i els tiets horribles d’en Harry ràpidament les hi amaguen. Llavors, el dia que en Harry fa onze anys, un gegant amb ulls d’escarabat anomenat Rubeus Hagrid es presenta amb una notícia que li canviarà la vida: Harry Potter és un bruixot i el conviden a estudiar a l’Escola de Màgia i Bruixeria de Hogwarts. Una aventura extraordinària està a punt de començar!<br/>2. Harry Potter i la cambra secreta:<br/>Durant l'estiu, en Harry Potter ha passat el pitjor aniversari possible i ha rebut les advertències funestes d’un elf domèstic anomenat Dobby. A més, gràcies al rescat d’en Ron Weasley amb un cotxe volador, en Harry ha pogut escapar dels Dursley i tornar a l’Escola de Màgia i Bruixeria de Hogwarts per fer el segon curs. Allí sent unes veus horribles que ningú més no percep i llavors comencen els atacs. Alguns estudiants han sigut petrificats. Sembla que les prediccions sinistres d’en Dobby es compleixen.<br/>3. Harry Potter i el pres d’Azkaban:<br/>El Nitrèpid Bus irromp davant d’en Harry Potter amb una frenada ensordidora. Aquest soroll marca l’inici d’un altre curs extraordinari a Hogwarts. Sembla que el fugitiu Sirius Black, assassí en massa i seguidor d’en Voldemort, persegueix en Harry Potter. A la primera classe de Futurologia, la professora Trelawney veu un presagi de mort observant el fons de la tassa d’en Harry. Però potser els demèntors que ronden pels voltants de l’escola i els seus petons que xuclen l’ànima de la gent són encara més esfereïdors...<br/>4. Harry Potter i el calze de foc:<br/>El Torneig dels Tres Bruixots se celebrarà a Hogwarts. Només els bruixots que tenen més de disset anys podran participar-hi. Però això no impedeix a en Harry somniar que guanyarà la competició. El dia de Halloween, quan el calze de foc selecciona els candidats, en Harry es queda glaçat en saber que el seu nom està entre els que la copa màgica ha escollit. S’enfrontarà a desafiaments mortífers, dracs i bruixots perillosos, però amb l’ajuda dels seus millors amics, en Ron i l’Hermione, potser es capaç de sortir-ne viu!<br/>5. Harry Potter i l’orde del Fènix:<br/>L’època tenebrosa ha arribat a Hogwarts. Després de l’atac dels demèntors al seu cosí Dudley, en Harry Potter sap que res podrà impedir que en Voldemort el trobi. Són molts els que neguen el seu retorn, però en Harry no està sol: un orde secret es reuneix a la plaça Grimmauld per defensar-se de les forces del mal. En Harry ha de deixar que el professor Snape li ensenyi a protegir-se dels violents malsons d’en Voldemort a la seva ment, però aquests cada dia són més forts i en Harry s’està quedant sense temps...<br/>6. Harry Potter i el misteri del príncep:<br/>Una nit d’estiu, quan Dumbledore arriba al carrer Privet per recollir en Harry Potter, té la mà de la vareta ennegrida i clivellada, però no revela el perquè. Tota mena de secrets i de sospites es comencen a estendre pel món dels mags i Hogwarts ja no és un lloc segur. En Harry està convençut que és en Malfoy qui deixa la marca de les forces del mal: hi ha un cavaller de la mort entre ells. En Harry necessitarà poders màgics i amics vertaders mentre explora els secrets més foscos d’en Voldemort, i Dumbledore el prepara per afrontar el seu destí…<br/>7. Ha

The Picture of Dorian Gray: The Original 1890 Edition (A Oscar Wilde Classic Novel)

Oscar Wilde • 2023

“The books that the world calls immoral are books that show the world its own shame.” ― Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray<br/><br/>The Picture of Dorian Gray is a 1891 gothic and philosophical novel by Irish writer and playwright Oscar Wilde. First published as a serial story in the July 1890 issue of Lippincott's Monthly Magazine, the editors feared the story was indecent, and without Wilde's knowledge, deleted five hundred words before publication.<br/><br/>Despite that censorship, The Picture of Dorian Gray offended the moral sensibilities of British book reviewers, some of whom said that Oscar Wilde merited prosecution for violating the laws guarding the public morality. In response, Wilde aggressively defended his novel and art in correspondence with the British press.<br/><br/>Wilde revised and expanded the magazine edition of The Picture of Dorian Gray (1890) for publication as a novel; the book edition (1891) featured an aphoristic preface — an apologia about the art of the novel and the reader. The content, style and presentation of the preface made it famous in its own literary right, as social and cultural criticism. In April 1891, the editorial house Ward, Lock and Company published the revised version of The Picture of Dorian Gray.<br/><br/>A True Classic that Belongs on Every Bookshelf!
