    Yes, yes. The world "atmospheric" describes his whole work! I was looking for that word! Thank you! As for his detective fiction, I' ve read that he was the inspiration who created the hero Sherlock Holmes. You can actually witness this fact if you read a couple of his stories, like the "Stollen letter"! Hahah! Safe distance might be even better!

    Well I highly disagree but I see why we do so. Poe considers himself a poet. Also he wrote stories only to make money. So I think anyone should read his poems before having a spherical opinion. Although i agree that his stories aren't written with perfection, like Chekhov does for example, you can see his brilliant self, how deep he goes with the human mind, what a clever man he is who examines everything-everyone and can truly understand them.. (correct me for any misunderstanding, i think my text has some errors!)
  4. Edgar Allan Poe's stories. Throughout his unexpected and meaningful stories you can truly witness the depth of human mind/soul. As I read the only thing I have constantly on my mind is that I would really love to have just a drink with him and a small talk at a local, small pub. Of course I wouldn't let him have more than two whiskeys! Tell me your thought about his stories, if you've ever read any, or his poems and in general what do you think about him..!
  5. Is there anything better than reading a book in front of the sea at an isolated beach? I don't think so..!

  6. Every paulo coelho's books... Absolutely unreadable.. Although some people enjoy them I tried two of them and I couldn't believe my eyes!!
  7. And I only gave 20 euros!! the saler had no idea!!!
  8. Ohhh thank you very much Athena!!! . I was on a trip when I bought it. I was so happy when I accidentaly found this book I couldn't speak! I specifically ask the seller for a translation of Faust, because you can't find anywhere the second part, and he couldn't find it! After 5 minutes (and giving my personal info, so he could contact me if he finds it) I holded it in my own hands with my mouth wide open! And also the seller was like this to! hahaha Such a wonderfull coincidence!!!!
  9. Thank you for your suggestions!!! They were very helpfull! The book is Faust by Goethe the second part of the tragedy! I attached some photos but I am afraid you won't understand a thing! I 've bought the translated one in my native language! Of course there weren't any chances to understand the complexibility of this masterpiece in its primal language! But the translator was very popular for his work (now he is dead as you understand) and they say that this translation is the best and the closest to the originall! Really hard to find! I found it in an old antique shop by accident as I was looking for the second part for about 5 months! I was so lucky I couldn't believe it!!!!! Sooo thank you again!
  10. I have bought a really old book (over 100 years old), that is a bit damaged! So I want someone to tell me a way to store this book somehow in order not to completely fall apart. Does anybody know how???
  11. I have galaxy s5 for 2 years now and I think it great! I highly recommend it!
  12. I read the article of course before I quote. But what I said is that I don't believe they have found any evidence about extraterrestrial life and people should stop believing these conspiracy theories.. I myself have seen a lot of movies and heard some rumors about this Area 51. But I can find a simple reason why they have found any clues and don't publish them.. maybe I am really narrow-minded but I can believe it... maybe it is true they have some things discovered. As about my opinion I think this area is such a huge deal only by advertising.. And anyone who has a clue about science already knows that we have achieved few things in order to explore or see what's on planets and on their surface's..
  13. Why anyone believe at such thing?? There is absolutelly no reason to believe that we have found extraterrestrial life and it is not published yet.. Absolutelly no profit.. Its like believing we have found the qure to cancer but some "big" organisations keep it a secret to make money! I really don't want to offend anyone but these conspiracy theories show that people are unaducated...
  14. I am in the middle of an argument with few high class people in Russia during the second half of the nineteenth century. I am sitting quietly at the corner of the prince's house listening to these men angrily discussing... I want to join these few men.. support the disgraced who make an effort to stand for their lost rights.But I am conserned that this point of view isn't appropriate to be expressed by someone who just arrived.. and also I am, strangely, a little afraid of that powerfull woman... I am so confused right now...! We ll see.. just let the story tell... Dostoevsky the Idiot

  17. We learn English and, French or German or Italian!
  18. I just came up with the idea that if we have some ebooks why dont we share them? I don't have any yet I just started reading ebooks but I think this will help a lot of you guys! I suggest a topic or even a category (I am telling this for the admins If you find it intresting ) where someone will say the ebooks that has or wants to lend and others, if they are intrested, will suggest the ones they own in order to give them. I understand that in a forum like this there must be people from all over the world, so books is impossible to be borrown. But what about eBooks?? its really easy! They can be sent via an email or if you own an ereader there 's even an option to lend something you own..! What do you say?? If you like it, this topic can also be the place for this "exchanges". Write the books that you own and want to lend! Also if you can write the price because I think this is also important if you acually give a book! And finally write the format (pdf, epub, mobi).
  19. Welcome I wish you a lot of reading!!!
  20. hahahaha yeap!! they go inside! I can even describe the taste! one has to try it to find out!
  21. I am in ofcourse!! anything you choose I have read many many poets from my country and some really few from others! The only ones that I can suggest you must be translated from the poet or other famous people. Although the translation is always good enough I dont know if you would like that. May I start with the poet in my signature! Constantine P. Cavafy Who I am a huge fan! I cant even discribe him!~! He generally writes "historical" poems. (If I can say it like that). I mean he uses environments and people from tthe past to actually pass his message. Sooo again if you d like that I could suggest few!
  22. I always buy brand new books! Sometimes I exchange them with friends so I end up with olders But there not few the times that I borrow books from my local library! I want my money well spend on books that will last for few years! If I want an older one I gust borrow it
