SUMMARY: Websters paperbacks take advantage of the fact that classics are frequently assigned readings in English courses. By using a running English-to-French thesaurus at the bottom of each page, this edition of Tarzan the Terrible by Edgar Rice Burroughs was edited for three audiences. The first includes French-speaking students enrolled in an English Language Program (ELP), an English as a Foreign Language (EFL) program, an English as a Second Language Program (ESL), or in a TOEFL or TOEIC preparation program. The second audience includes English-speaking students enrolled in bilingual education programs or French speakers enrolled in English-speaking schools. The third audience consists of students who are actively building their vocabularies in French in order to take foreign service, translation certification, Advanced Placement (AP) or similar examinations. By using the Webster's French Thesaurus Edition when assigned for an English course, the reader can enrich their vocabulary in anticipation of an examination in French or English.TOEFL, TOEIC, AP and Advanced Placement are trademarks of the Educational Testing Service which has neither reviewed nor endorsed this book.

Rare or idiosyncratic words and expressions are given lower priority compared to difficult, yet commonly used words. Rather than supply a single translation, many words are translated for a variety of meanings in French, allowing readers to better grasp the ambiguity of English, and avoid them using the notes as a pure translation crutch.

SUMMARY: When ''The Atrocity Exhibition'' was first published in 1970 it was received by an unprepared world with widespread confusion. I soon became a cult book, however, and is now seen as one of this remarkable author's key works, featuring many of the obsessions that recur in later books such as Empire of the Sun, High Rise and Super-Cannes, as well as the seed of his controversial Crash. In this revised edition, J.G. Ballard has added extensive annotations that help to unlock many of the mysteries of one of the most prophetic and enigmatic works of fiction of the late 20th century.<

SUMMARY: THE BEASTS OF TARZAN As the rich Lord Greystoke, Tarzan found himself the target of greedy, evil men. Stranded on a desert island, his wife and son kidnapped, Tarzan's plight seemed helpless. But with the help of Sheeta, the ferocious panther, and the great ape Akut, Tarzan crafted his escape with the giant Mugambi. Yet the trail of the kidnappers led deep into the interior--and it would take all of Tarzan's skills to reach his family in time. THE SON OF TARZAN Tarzan's young son narrowly escaped the wrath of his father's nemesis Paulvitch, and he was forced to flee into the savage African jungles where Tarzan himself had been reared. There the civilized boy would have to learn to face the great beasts and exotic dangers only his father had ever conquered. And as he became known as Korak the Killer--whose legend would rival that of Tarzan--he would learn that the dangers of the jungle were nothing compared to those devised by men . . .<

SUMMARY: Perhaps the most imaginative of the 'Planet' series - the entire 'Moon' adventures For 60 years all the nations of the Earth have been at war. Now peace has come, but, more momentously, contact has been made with Mars. Into these times steps Julian-a man aware of lives past and present-with a strange story to tell. Mars has launched a ship to Earth, but it is lost in space-now it is Earth's turn to make an attempt to reach Mars, and Julian is commander of the mission. Sabotage plunges the Earth craft into the moon where, hidden from Earth's view, civilizations thrive. There Julian becomes involved in a fierce struggle with the Kalkans. In the second adventure, another Julian must deal with the Kalkan invasion and occupation of Earth, as mankind is forced into serfdom and its technology destroyed. The American people of the third adventure are a nomadic horse nation, painted and feathered. Their chieftain is Julian-the Red Hawk-and he is planning the final defeat of the hated Kalkans after centuries of enmity and oppression. This is Edgar Rice Burroughs at his best, with all the thrills, spills, action and hairsbreadth escapes his fans expect. Here, for your enjoyment, are all the 'Moon' novels in a single volume.<

SUMMARY: A man broken in body and spirit, Cazaril has returned to the noble household he once served as page, and is named, to his great surprise, secretary-tutor to the beautiful, strong-willed sister of the impetuous boy who is next in line to rule. It is as assignment Cazaril dreads, for it must ultimately lead him to the place he most fears: the royal court of Cardegoss, where the powerful enemies who once placed him in chains now occupy lofty positions. but it is more than the traitorous intrigues of villains that threaten Cazaril and the Royesse Iselle here, for a sinister curse hangs like a sword over the entire blighted House of Chalion and all who stand in their circle. And only by employing the darkest, most forbidden of magics can Cazaril hope to protect his royal charge -- an act that will mark the loyal, damaged servant as a tool of the miraculous ... and trap him, flesh and soul, in a maze of demonic paradox, damnation, and death.<

En este libro, que se inscribe dentro de la fenomenología de lo imaginario que constituye la parte más conocida y valorada de la obra de Gastón Bachelard, el filósofo francés se detiene en los sueños que despierta la contemplación de una llama solitaria. La llama tiene una gran capacidad productora de imágenes y de allí la riqueza metafórica que ha sabido inspirar. En el camino de sus reflexiones Bachelard encuentra algunos nombres de poetas capitales que, como en el caso de Novalis, T. S. Eliot o de Octavio Paz, son referencias concretas que se insertan en el curso general de su pensamiento iluminando por una parte el alcance de sus precisiones y por otra el de los poetas citados.<

MEMORIAL DE UN TESTIGO viene a ser una especie de ejercicios intencionales en el reino del realismo mágico. Nada de esto ha ocurrido sino en la imaginación del autor. Son, en su mayoría, poemas compuestos sobre una experiencia meramente auditiva o de fantasía, pero a la que no es ajena la sinceridad, el calor humano y el patetismo. Todo lo que da color y sentido a la poesía antillana lo hallamos en este volumen a través de uno de sus más significativos representantes, quien, a pesar de los escasos libros poéticos publicados, figura en importantes antologías y ha sido traducido a diversos idiomas. Baste consignar que Janiz Jahn, en su estudio sobre las culturas neoafricanas y su relación con el surrealismo, tomó imágenes de Baquero para ilustrar su tesis.<

SUMMARY: Time travel, a millennium-spanning romance, and rousing action in modern African jungles and the untamed prehistoric wilderness ignite this classic adventure tale from the pen of Edgar Rice Burroughs. Nu, a warrior from the Stone Age, is buried alive in an earthquake while stalking a saber-toothed tiger. Awakening thousands of years later on Tarzan's estate in Africa, he gives his heart to Victoria Custer of Nebraska, a visitor to the estate, who is the reincarnation of Nu's Stone Age love, Nat-ul. But other men treacherously compete for the love of Victoria in modern Africa and for the heart of Nat-ul in the distant past. Set in both a terrifyingly dangerous primeval setting and the beloved world of Tarzan, The Eternal Savage movingly reveals whether eternal love is strong enough to triumph over undying adversity.Edgar Rice Burroughs is the acclaimed author of dozens of influential science fiction and fantasy tales, including Tarzan of the Apes, and, available in the Bison Frontiers of Imagination series, Under the Moons of Mars, The Moon Maid, Beyond Thirty, Pirates of Venus, The Land That Time Forgot, At the Earth's Core, and Pellucidar. Tom Deitz is a noted writer of speculative fiction whose many books include The Gryphon King, Bloodwinter, Warautumn, and the Soulsmith series.<
