ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
Winner of the National Jewish Book Award and finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award.
A youthful tale of geriatric amateur theatrics and one of the most powerful and affecting comedies of modern times.
In the Emma Lazarus retirement home in uptown Manhattan, the Jewish inmates embark on a chaotic, bitchy production of Hamlet. But for our hero, Otto Korner more is at stake than simply directing his quirky, libidinous fellow residents in the play. Somebody knows Otto's secret, and as comedy and tragedy combine he is transported back to his pre-American past in Germany, Zurich, and finally, Auschwitz.
Winner of the National Jewish Book Award and finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award, The Prince of West End Avenue was a critical sensation on its first publication in 1994. A youthful tale of geriatric amateur theatrics, its dramatic curtain call ensures this is one of the most powerful and affecting comedies of modern times.

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
In these vigorous stories, Lauren Groff brings her electric storytelling to a world in which storms, snakes and sinkholes lurk at the edge of everyday life, but the greater threats are of a human, emotional and psychological nature. Among those navigating it all are a resourceful pair of abandoned sisters; a lonely boy, grown up; a restless, childless couple; a searching, homeless woman; and an unforgettable conflicted wife and mother.
The stories in this collection span characters, towns, even centuries, but Florida – its landscape, climate, history and state of mind – becomes the gravitational centre. With shocking accuracy, Groff pinpoints the connections behind human pleasure and pain, hope and despair, love and fury – the moments that make us alive.

A young man picks up his infant son and goes outside into a starlit night as he makes a decision that will inform the rest of his life.

К какому жанру отнести беседу двух не совсем трезвых молодых людей, проводящих воскресную ночь в обычной питерской квартире за разговором о любви, боге, творчестве и дружбе? Да если к тому же по ходу беседы выясняется, что один из них пророк, а на второго возложена миссия по спасению человечества... Философская притча? Сравнительное исследование мировых религий? Очередная запятая в споре Платона и Аристотеля или обыкновенное хулиганство? Ситуация осложняется тем, что в относительно недалеком, но уже наступившем будущем руководитель корпорации Новый Вечный Мир окончательно решается устроить преждевременный конец света и теперь давит на подчиненных сроками. Оппонировать ему будут граждане Сиддхартха Гаутама, Иисус из Назарета и пророк Мухаммед. Непременно в стихах.

Eighteen-year-old college student Clay is back in his hometown of Los Angeles for Christmas break. Clay is three things: rich, bored and looking to get high.

A cult classic beloved for its dogged portrayal of hedonistic youth and the morally depraved, this extraordinary and instantly famous novel is a landmark in modern fiction: an inventive, precocious and invigorating story of getting what you want when you want it.
