    This vintage book contains a collection of essays written by the influential Russian philosopher, Lev Isaakovich Shestov. One of the most delicate and individual of modern Russian critics, Shestov was a radical empiricist and proto-existentialist thinker who integrated literary theory and philosophical thought in a masterful way that inspired such minds as Camus, Dostoyevsky, Deleuze, D. H. Lawrence, and Bataille. Included in this collection are the essays: ¿Anton Chekhov¿, ¿The Gift of Prophecy¿, ¿Penultimate Words¿, and ¿The Theory of Knowledge¿. The essays of this collection are fascinating and insightful, and constitute a must-reads for all students of philosophy. This antiquarian book was originally published in 1916, and is being republished now in an affordable, modern edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.

    The Wizard of Oz, popular abbreviation for the originally titled The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, is a children's novel written by L. Frank Baum originally published in 1900. The story follows the adventures of a girl named Dorothy in the Land of Oz. Thanks in part to the 1939 movie based on the book, it has become entrenched in American popular culture and led to Baum writing thirteen more Oz books. Historians, economists and literary scholars have examined and developed possible political interpretations of The Wizard of Oz but the majority of the reading public simply takes the story at face value. This publication of The Wizard of Oz is part of the Qualitas Classics Fireside Series, where pure, ageless classics are presented in clean, easy to read reprints.
