| 1. |  | Camus: The Stranger (Landmarks of World Literature (New))
from Cambridge University Press
Customer Review:
This book is NOT Camus's "The Stranger"! It is a literary review of the work, and NOT the work itself. If you are looking to read Camus's "The Stranger" DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK! I feel that Amazon should refund/not charge for those who buy this book thinking they are going to read Camus!

| 2. |  | Letters to a Young Poet
from Dover Publications
Price: $5.95
Customer Review:
There are works that surface time and time again in cultural circles, in film, literature, music, etc. One of these is Rainer Maria Rilke's Letters to a Young Poet. The young poet, Franz Xaver Kappus, is unremarkable in this set of letters as we never see the poems he sent to Rilke, nor do we see... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

from Dover Publications
Price: $11.01
Customer Review:
One of the more interesting things about Nietzche is that, as a philosopher, his ideas were always changing - yet popular culture remembers him chiefly as a nihilist. It is in Thus Spoke Zarathustra that he proposes an answer to questions of meaninglessness and devaluation; The Superman. He also... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

Customer Review:
Candide by Voltaire
This is a great classic. "Candide" treats important philosophical questions in unusual way. The book is brilliant and often laught-out-loud hilarious. | 4.5 / 5.0

| 5. |  | Candide (Dover Thrift Editions)
from Dover Publications
Price: $1.50
Customer Review:
I actually read this book thanks to a recommendation from Kurt Vonnegut (via "For the Love of Books"). Candide was almost like Siddartha meets Shangri La. During Candide's worldwide adventure seeking his one true love, he is regaled by the disturbing tales of many world-weary travelers and troubled... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

| 6. |  | Fathers and Sons (Signet Classics)
from Signet Classics
Price: $6.95
Customer Review:
A great book, in my estimation, is one that touches your heart and causes you to change for the better. Ivan Turgenev's novel, Fathers and Sons is, in my view, such a book. Turgenev was not well liked in Russia in his lifetime and is not now, even, regarded as among the foremost of Russian novelists... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

from Heinle

Customer Review:
This is a great book, that every body who speaks Spanish or is learning Spanish should read. Is full of stories about authors, and people in our Latin-American story. I love to read the life of an author and then match it with his/her writing. Don't miss this book. Order it now! | 4.0 / 5.0

| 8. |  | Candide: Or Optimism (Penguin Classics)
from Penguin Classics
Price: $9.60
Customer Review:
Candide: Or Optimism parodies the classic, romantic coming-of-age story, with the young title character, Candide - the ignorant, ever-optimistic metaphysician of Westphalia- confronting the evils of the real world. His forbidden love of a baron's daughter causes Candide to be evicted from his home... more info | 5.0 / 5.0

from Viking Adult
Customer Review:
I love this book. I bought it to read the story of Hrafnkel, Frey's Gothi, which depicts Icelandic concepts of honor, dedication of an animal to a specific God, sacrifice, Thing proceedings, etc. | 4.5 / 5.0

| 10. |  | The Divine Comedy of Dante Alighieri: Volume 1: Inferno (Divine Comedy of Dante Alighieri Reprint Series)
from Oxford University Press, USA
Price: $13.57
Customer Review:
I found this edition of Dante's most famous book of the Divine Comedy to be excellent in all respects. The translation seemed excedingly accurate -- as an Italian prof. I was working almost exclusively from the original -- in a modern, clean style. Here the attempt is not to replicate the... more info | 4.5 / 5.0
