Als Nils eines Tages auf den Hof tritt, weiß er gar nicht, wie ihm geschieht. Auf einmal ist er winzig klein und - schwupp! - sitzt er auf dem Rücken der Gans Martin. Und dann erhebt sich die Gans einfach in die Lüfte. Ob das gut geht?
Je revais d'etre ma propre cause et ma propre fin ; je pensais a présent que la littérature me permettrait de réaliser ce vou. Elle m'assurerait une immortalité qui compenserait l'éternité perdue ; il n'y avait plus de Dieu pour m'aimer, mais je brulerais dans des millions de cours. En écrivant une ouvre nourrrie de mon histoire, je me créerais moi-meme a neuf et je justifierais mon existence. En meme temps, je servirais l'humanité : quel plus beau cadeau lui faire que des livres ? Je m'intéressais a la fois a moi et aux autres ; j'acceptais mon "incarnation" mais je ne voulais pas renoncer a l'universel : ce projet conciliait tout ; il flattait toutes les aspirations qui s'étaient développées en moi au cours de ces quinze années.

'She had been forced into prudence in her youth, she learned romance as she grew older - the natural sequel of an unnatural beginning.' Anne Elliot seems to have given up on present happiness and has resigned herself to living off her memories. More than seven years earlier she complied with duty: persuaded to view the match as imprudent and improper, she broke off her engagement to a naval captain with neither fortune, ancestry, nor prospects. However, when peacetime arrives and brings the Navy home, and Anne encounters Captain Wentworth once more, she starts to believe in second chances. Persuasion celebrates romantic constancy in an era of turbulent change. Written as the Napoleonic Wars were ending, the novel examines how a woman can at once remain faithful to her past and still move forward into the future.

The Greek lyric, elegiac, and iambic poets of the two centuries from 650 to 450 BC - Archilochus and Alcman, Sappho and Mimnermus, Anacreon, Simonides, and the rest - produced some of the finest poetry of antiquity, perfect in form, spontaneous in expression, reflecting all the joys and anxieties of their personal lives and of the societies in which they lived. This new poetic translation by a leading expert captures the nuances of meaning and the whole spirit of this poetry as never before. It is not merely a selection but covers all the surviving poems and intelligible fragments, apart from the works of Pindar and Bacchylides, and includes a number of pieces not previously translated. The Introduction gives a brief account of the poets, and explanatory Notes on the texts will be found at the end.

Marcel Prousti romaanisarja Kadunud aega otsimas on sageli nimetatud üheks 20. sajandi mõjukaimaks kirjandusteoseks. Sarja teine köide Õitsvate neidude varjus lisandub senistele eestindustele Swanni poolel (1. köide), Soodom ja Gomorra (osa 4. köitest) ja Taasleitud aeg (viimane, 7. köide). Hoolimata tegelaste kordumisest saab kõiki köiteid selles sarjas lugeda omaette romaanidena. Ning on tõenäoline, et just õitsvatest neidudest alustas Proustiga tutvumist suur osa kirjaniku kaasaegseid, kuna esimene köide ei teeninud avalikkuses erilist vastukaja, teine aga võitis 1919. aastal maineka Goncourti auhinna ja tegi Prousti üleöö tuntuks. Õitsvate neidude varjus katab jutustaja elust perioodi, mida laias laastus nimetatakse murdeeaks ja mis isiksuse kujunemises üldist arusaamist mööda ongi murrangulise tähtsusega. Siin saab minategelane oma esimesed õppetunnid armuasjades, mida järgmistes osades sügavuti lahatakse. Ning siin leiavad aset ka mõned kõige tähtsamad episoodid kirjanikuks saamise keerukas loos, mida kogu romaanitsükkel enesest kujutab. Õitsvate neidude emotsionaalne heitlikkus pakub äratundmist paljudele, kel meeles omaenese teismeea triumfid ja kriisid. Nimelt see köide Kadunud aja tsüklist on tulvil kõige suuremat janu elu, ilu ja armastuse järele, nimelt siin leidub kõige rohkem poeetilisi looduse- ja meeleolukirjeldusi, nimelt siin on seltskondlike ja isiklike pürgimuste kriitikasse segatud kõige rohkem humoorikat eneseirooniat. * MARCEL PROUST (18711922) on prantsuse modernismi suurkuju, vaieldamatult tähtsamaid autoreid kogu õhtumaises kirjandusloos. Tema olulisimaks panuseks on jõgiromaan Kadunud aega otsimas, mille seitsmest köitest jõudsid autori eluajal ilmuda vaid esimesed neli. Romaanitsükkel võtab enda alla üle nelja tuhande lehekülje ning selles esineb üle kahe tuhande tegelase. Peategelaste ring piirdub ometi umbes kümnega ning tähtsaimaks neist on mõistagi jutustaja ise, kes kingib lugejale pikkades ja varjundirohketes lausetes oma kirjanikuks saamise loo. ANTI SAAR (snd 1980) on kirjanik ja tõlkija, kes peab võõrkeelsete tekstide vahendamisel väärtuslikuks sama mida oma loomingus: rütmi, meloodiat ja empaatilist sisseelamist erinevatesse tegelaskujudesse. Ta on prantsuse keelest tõlkinud ilukirjandust autoritelt, nagu Georges Perec, André Breton, Maurice Blanchot, Philippe Claudel ja Katrina Kalda ning eestindanud teoreetilisi tekste filosoofiast, antropoloogiast ja kirjandusteadusest (Deleuze/Guattari, Bruno Latour, Jacques Rancière, Marcel Mauss, Claude Lévi-Strauss, Arnold van Gennep, Roland Barthes jne). Oma tõlgete eest on Saar pälvinud Eesti Kultuurkapitali aastaauhinna ja mitu nominatsiooni. Autorid: Marcel Proust
