Idomeneo, re di Creta (1781) e uno dei vertici dellopera seria mozartiana e costituisce un punto di svolta rispetto al modello metastasiano.

Far removed from possessions and nice things that money can buy, bringing home a rescue animal is a partnership, like a close friendship, where all our emotions are put to the test.

Set on the eve of the First World War, The Great Impersonation turns on a perilous exchange of identities: has Sir Everard Dominey returned from Africa reformed, or is he his German double, Leopold von Ragastein, sent to infiltrate English high society? Oppenheims polished, brisk Edwardian prose fuses the doppelganger tradition with invasion-scare espionage, moving from Mayfair salons to a haunted country estate. Elegant misdirection, clipped dialogue, and carefully staged revelations place the novel at the hinge between sensation fiction and the modern spy thriller. E. Phillips Oppenheim (18661946), hailed as the "Prince of Storytellers," transformed a merchants cosmopolitan experience and voracious travel into more than a hundred thrillers. Attuned to prewar diplomacy, clubland rituals, and newspaper serial pacing, he crafted urbane intrigues where reputation and power trade hands. That preoccupation with social performance culminates here in a plot that treats identity as an asset subject to falsification, persuasion, and surveillance. Readers of Buchan, Childers, and early Greene will relish its taut construction and period atmosphere. Beyond its thrills, the novel offers a lucid lens on national paranoia and personal duplicityan enduring study in how loyalty, class, and desire complicate the self.Quickie Classics summarizes timeless works with precision, preserving the authors voice and keeping the prose clear, fast, and readabledistilled, never diluted.

First issued in 1890 for the United Hebrew Congregations, Singers SiddurThe Standard Prayer Bookpresents the full cycle of weekday, Sabbath, and festival services in a balanced HebrewEnglish layout. A lucid, dignified translation accompanies the received text, with clear rubrics to guide the worshipper.

Simeon Singer (18481906), minister of Londons New West End Synagogue and a leading educator, combined philological care with pastoral tact. Working with the Chief Rabbis office, he sought to unify divergent usages and elevate public devotion.

Scholars of liturgy, historians of AngloJewry, clergy, and thoughtful congregants will find this a durable companion in prayer and study.

First published in the Bureau of American Ethnology, The Sacred Formulas of the Cherokees (Illustrated) assembles a corpus of ritual textshealing, divination, hunting, love, warfare, and ball-game ritesrecorded in Sequoyahs syllabary and translated with philological care. Mooney couples the formulas parallelism, refrain, and archaic diction with commentary on performance, materia medica, and cosmology, noting numerologies and directional symbolism. The illustrated apparatus reproduces manuscripts and ethnobotanical identifications, giving visual access to a tradition where word, gesture, and object form a whole. James Mooney (18611921), a Smithsonian ethnographer with the Bureau of American Ethnology, conducted extended fieldwork among the Eastern Band of Cherokee in the late nineteenth century. Self-trained in Indigenous languages, he partnered with Cherokee practitioners and scribes, transcribing texts in the original syllabary before offering literal and free translations. Working amid missionary pressure and legal suppression of ritual practice, Mooney adopted a documentary ethic aimed at preserving knowledge while acknowledging its custodians. This edition is indispensable for scholars of anthropology, Indigenous studies, comparative religion, and ethnolinguistics, and for readers seeking a primary-source window into Cherokee intellectual life. Read alongside contemporary Cherokee scholarship, the illustrated volume invites careful, respectful study of a living tradition articulated in its own authoritative voice.Quickie Classics summarizes timeless works with precision, preserving the authors voice and keeping the prose clear, fast, and readabledistilled, never diluted.

Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions (1884) follows A Square, a meticulous denizen of a plane, whose encounters with Lineland, Spaceland, and the ineffable Pointland expose both the possibilities and the peril of thinking beyond ones dimension. Written in the crisp idiom of Euclidean manuals yet edged with Swiftian satire, the narrative skewers Victorian hierarchiesclass, gender, and intellectual dogmawhile staging a lucid primer in dimensional analogy. The Illustrated Edition underscores Abbotts didactic architecture, rendering polygons, angles, and shadow-visions with clarity that illuminates the books logical puzzles and philosophical provocation. Edwin A. Abbottschoolmaster, theologian, and classicistserved as head of the City of London School, where he championed rigorous yet humane pedagogy.

Flatland distills those commitments, marrying mathematical instruction to a critique of authoritarian certainties, whether scholastic, scientific, or ecclesiastical. This edition suits readers of the history of ideas, mathematics educators, and lovers of speculative fiction alike.

Lorna Doone (1869) is John Ridds first-person chronicle of love and vengeance on Exmoor. Set amid the Monmouth Rebellion and the Bloody Assizes, it entwines a yeomans courtship of Lornaward of the Doone outlawswith feud, ambush, and the cadences of rural labor. Blackmore blends Scottian historical romance with Victorian regional realism: melodrama is checked by close observation of weather, waterways, hedgerows, and dialect, making the landscape a moral arena as well as a stage. R. D. Blackmore, an Oxford-trained classicist, brief barrister, and later market gardener in Teddington, drew on a West Country upbringing and Tiverton schooling to anchor the books topography and folk memory. Legends of the Doone band and tales of Tom Faggus, together with his classical pastoral, shaped cadence and imagery; horticultural practice sharpened his botanical precision. Composed against the vogue for sensation fiction, the novel restores gravity through place and character. For readers who relish the sweep of Scott, the regional depth later associated with Hardy, or finely grained nature writing, Lorna Doone remains rewarding. It is both an engrossing romance and a meditation on community, law, and landa classic that marries narrative momentum to the durable truths of landscape.Quickie Classics summarizes timeless works with precision, preserving the authors voice and keeping the prose clear, fast, and readabledistilled, never diluted.

Covering the half-century from the FrancoPrussian War to the Paris Peace Conference, The Rise of Empires: 18701919 charts how national consolidation, industrial capitalism, and imperial rivalry reordered world power. Hazen narrates Germanys ascent, Britains recalibrations, the partition of Africa and Asia, and the alliance system that made local crises continental.

Charles Downer Hazen, an American historian of modern Europe, wrote amid the immediate aftermath of the Great War, distilling years of university teaching into a coherent explanation of causation rather than blame.

The Ecclesiastical History surveys the church from the apostles to Constantine, organizing episcopal successions, persecutions, controversies, and councils into a coherent chronicle that inaugurates Christian historiography. Eusebius writes spare, documentary Greek, stitching narrative to copious extractsletters, martyr-acts, edicts, and lost authors like Hegesippus and Papias. Apologetic in aim, it displays providence, defines orthodoxy (notably his categories of New Testament books), and ends in panegyric. Bishop of Caesarea and pupil of Pamphilus, Eusebius wrote with the unrivaled library that preserved Origens legacy. Marked by the Diocletianic persecution and later favor at Constantines court, he joined pastoral memory of martyrs to imperial horizons. His training in chronography and scripture enabled judicious compilation, even as loyalty and credulity sometimes tint his verdicts. This classic repays readers who want both narrative and sources: a portable archive for historians, theologians, and classicists. Read it as a partial yet irreplaceable witness whose citations often preserve the sole remnants of the second and third centuries. For anyone tracing Christianitys path from sect to empire, this is an essential starting point.Quickie Classics summarizes timeless works with precision, preserving the authors voice and keeping the prose clear, fast, and readabledistilled, never diluted.
