ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
These seven stories were the last that Carver wrote. Among them is one of his longest, 'Errand', in which he imagines the death of Chekhov, a writer Carver hugely admired and to whose work his own was often compared. This fine story suggests that the greatest of modern short-story writers may, in the year before his untimely death, have been flexing his muscles for a longer work.

Enter the Aardvark (Black Swan)

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
We all know politics is absurd. But could a Republican be brought down by a stuffed aardvark?
Republican congressman Alexander Paine Wilson is determined that nothing will stop him in his campaign for re-election. Not the fact that he is a bachelor, not the fact that his main adversary Nancy Beavers - married, with children - is rising in the polls. Nothing. That is, until one hot day in August, he receives a large parcel via FedEx. Inside is a gigantic taxidermied aardvark.
This aardvark has a surprising history - from the Victorian naturalist who discovered it to the taxidermist who deemed it his finest creation. But for Wilson, the entrance of the aardvark sets off a chain of events that threaten to ruin his entire career.
Constantly surprising, brilliantly comic and piquantly provocative, Enter the Aardvark is a tale for our times, a biting satire with a tender underbelly.

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
"Битва за Рим" - второй из цикла романов Колин Маккалоу "Владыки Рима", впервые опубликованный в 1991 году (под названием "The Grass Crown").
Последние десятилетия существования Римской республики. Далеко за ее пределами чеканный шаг легионов Рима колеблет устои великих государств и повергает во прах их еще недавно могущественных правителей. Но и в границах самой Республики неспокойно: внутренние раздоры и восстания грозят подорвать политическую стабильность. Стареющий и больной Гай Марий, прославленный покоритель Германии и Нумидии, с нетерпением ожидает предсказанного многие годы назад беспримерного в истории Рима седьмого консульского срока. Марий готов ступать по головам, ведь заполучить вожделенный приз возможно лишь обойдя беспринципных честолюбцев и интриганов новой формации. Но долгожданный триумф грозит конфронтацией с новым и едва ли не самым опасным соперником - пылающим жаждой власти Луцием Корнелием Суллой, некогда правой рукой Гая Мария.
