В книгу вошли басни Эзопа – легендарного древнегреческого раба – в переводах Льва Николаевича Толстого. Эзоп прославился тем, что слагал короткие истории про животных, в которых обличал человеческие пороки. Причём делал это так мастерски, что в народе с лёгкостью узнавали прототип героя. Басни Эзопа облетели весь мир и были переведены на разные языки, а строки из них стали крылатыми. Л.Н. Толстой сделал свой перевод эзоповских историй – максимально приближенный к оригиналу, но понятный деревенским детям, которых обучал писатель.

Das Urteil (Untertitel: Eine Geschichte für Felice B.) ist eine 1912 (in der Nacht vom 22. auf den 23. September) entstandene und 1913 veröffentlichte Novelle von Franz Kafka. Die Erzählung hat den Charakter einer Novelle und handelt von einem Vater-Sohn-Konflikt. Georg Bendemann, Sohn eines Kaufmanns, verlobt und kurz vor der Heirat stehend, korrespondiert brieflich mit seinem – aus seiner Sicht – glücklosen Freund in Petersburg. Um ihn zu schonen, verschweigt Georg in seinen Briefen viel von seinem eigenen erfolgreichen Leben.

Presented in the form of a dialogue between Socrates and three different interlocutors, this classic text is an enquiry into the notion of a perfect community and the ideal individual within it. With remarkable lucidity and deft use of allegory, Plato arrives at a depiction of a state bound by harmony and ruled by philosopher kings.

The final play of the Oresteia, called The Eumenides (Εὐμενίδες, Eumenídes), illustrates how the sequence of events in the trilogy ends up in the development of social order or a proper judicial system in Athenian society. In this play, Orestes is hunted down and tormented by the Furies, a trio of goddesses known to be the instruments of justice, who are also referred to as the "Gracious Ones" (Eumenides). They relentlessly pursue Orestes for the killing of his mother.

First published in the Bulletin in the nineties, Paterson's verse has enjoyed enduring success throughout Australian literary history. Paterson had an intimate knowledge of life in the outback: he knew bushmen and he knew horses. His boundary riders and shearers, his buckjumpers and station hands, are real characters—the first realistic portraits of Australians in the bush at work and play to appear in verse. Many of the characters he created have so imprinted themselves on the public imagination that they have become part of Australian folklore.

Sappho is widely recognized as one of the great poets of world literature, an author whose works have caused her readers to repeat in many different forms Strabo's amazed epithet when he wrote that she could only be called "a marvel." The reception of Sappho's poetry even through the twentieth century offers a case study of the conflicts induced by the sexual preferences she seemingly alludes to in her verse. Little is known with certainty about the life of Sappho, or Psappha in her native Aeolic dialect. She was born probably about 620 B.C. to an aristocratic family on the island of Lesbos during a great cultural flowering in the area.

The Republic is a classic work by an ancient Greek philosopher Plato. There is one of the most famous dialogues of Plato about the arrangement of the state structure and the essence of the state (contemporary for Plato, of course, but also important nowadays because the whole modern so called "European civilisation" is based, first of all, on ancient schemes). The structure of Plato's dialogue is similar to others. Socrates and Glaucon are coming back to Athens from Piraeus. They are stopped by Polemarchus who invites them to visit him and talk.

The earliest surviving works of ancient Greek literature, dating back to the early Archaic period, are the two epic poems the Iliad and the Odyssey. These two epics, along with the Homeric Hymns and the two poems of Hesiod, Theogony and Works and Days, comprised the major foundations of the Greek literary tradition that would continue into the Classical, Hellenistic, and Roman periods. This carefully selected collection contains: The Odyssey ; The Works and Days ; Theogony ; The Complete Poems of Sappho ; Medea ; Antigone ; Agamemnon ; The Choephori ; Eumenides.

"The Silicon Joust: Knights of the Data Table" is a whimsical parody of the classic King Arthur and the Knights tale. Instead of King Arthur and the Knights, we have the valiant AIs assuming the role of knights. This silly medieval romance unfolds with AI characters as the main protagonists. Since the story is so short, this is all you are going to find here.

Il “Discorso sopra lo stato presente dei costumi degl’Italiani” è un’appassionata riflessione sulla mentalità, il carattere e la moralità della società italiana. Dall’osservatorio privilegiato della sua solitudine recanatese, Leopardi guarda ai suoi contemporanei per smascherarne vizi e limiti. Eppure questo testo, scritto tra la primavera e l’estate del 1824, sembra profeticamente parlare dell’oggi.
