ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
In Regency London, the only way for a woman to succeed is to beat men at their own game. So when Mary Anne Clarke seeks an escape from her squalid surroundings in Bowling Inn Alley, she ventures first into the scurrilous world of the pamphleteers. Her personal charms are such, however, that before long she comes to the notice of the Duke of York.
With her taste for luxury and power, Mary Anne, now a royal mistress, must aim higher. Her lofty connections allow her to establish a thriving trade in military commissions, provoking a scandal that rocks the government - and brings personal disgrace.
A vivid portrait of overweening ambition, Mary Anne is set during the Napoleonic Wars and based on the life of du Maurier's own great-great-grandmother.

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
A portrait of a woman who reflects the conventions of her age even as she defies them and whose transformations embody the decline and coarsening of the American frontier.
Marian Forrester brings delight to her husband, an elderly railroad pioneer; to the small town of Sweet Water where they live; and to Niel Herbert, the young narrator of her story, who falls in love with her as a boy and later becomes her confidant. He witnesses this vibrant woman in all her contradictory facets: by turns faithless and steadfast, dazzling and pathetic, invincibly charming yet dangerously vulnerable to the men she charms. All are bewitched by her charisma and grace - and all are ultimately betrayed.

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
Главным произведением, которое создал в короткой жизни Давид Фридман (1898-1936), стал бессмертный роман "Мендель Маранц". Многие тысячи советских читателей в 1920-е годы разговаривали цитатами из него, в Ленинграде два года шел спектакль по роману с Леонидом Утесовым в главной роли, с благодарностью вспоминали юмор Менделя несколько последующих поколений; Мервин Ле Рой снял кинофильм по роману. Однако в последующие годы имя автора стало неудобным для советской печати, а в США, где творил уроженец Румынии, его заслонили новые звезды. Лишь в XXI веке интерес к Фридману проснулся вновь, причем во многих странах. Оказалось, что его перу принадлежит еще многое, в том числе сборник отличных рассказов.
Практически полное собрание художественной прозы Давида Фридмана выходит на русском языке впервые. К изданию приложена статья выдающегося ученого, литературоведа Александра Лейзеровича, дающая исчерпывающую информацию о творческом пути как Фридмана так и русского переводчика "Менделя Маранца&quo ...

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
На протяжении многих десятилетий в конце XIX — начале XX века чуть ли не все европейские страны зачитывались приключениями короля сыщиков Ната Пинкертона, единственного, чья слава соперничала со славой Шерлока Холмса. Однако если образ Холмса возник под пером сэра Конан Дойля, то Пинкертон, едва ли не столь же бессмертный, был создан неизвестно кем, притом не в англоязычном мире, а в Германии. В России за последние годы были переизданы многие книги, рассказывающие о нем, но никогда не предпринималось попытки издать максимально полный свод выпусков этих приключений.
В девятом томе продолжаются приключения известного сыщика Ната Пинкертона. Наш герой неоднократно попадает в ловушку, но неизменно спасается и выходит победителем в борьбе с преступным миром.
Рассказы публикуются согласно выходу на языке оригинала.

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
James Fenimore Cooper was a prolific and popular American writer of the first half of the 19th century. His historical romances of frontier and Indian life in the early American days created a unique form of American literature. Set in the seventeenth century on frontier land, The Wept of Wish-Ton-Wish is a fairly realistic story of the early American wilderness experience. Captain Mark Heathcote, a widower, decides to leave the Massachusetts Bay Colony and resettle in a fertile valley of the Connecticut Territory, not far from Fort Hartford. The new settlement is called Wish-Ton-Wish, a name which, the author claims, is the Indian term for whippoorwill.

A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man (Oxford)
скидки на товар нигде нет ;( это обычная* цена - 2046.00 руб.
|
ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
James Joyce's Portrait of an Artist is one of the most significant literary works of the twentieth century, and one of the most innovative. Its originality shocked contemporary readers on its publication in 1916 who found its treating of the minutiae of daily life as indecorous, and its central character unappealing. Was it art or was it filth?
The novel charts the intellectual, moral, and sexual development of Stephen Dedalus, from his childhood listening to his father's stories through his schooldays and adolescence to the brink of adulthood and independence, and his awakening as an artist. Growing up in a Catholic family in Dublin in the final years of the nineteenth century, Stephen's consciousness is forged by Irish history and politics, by Catholicism and culture, language and art. Stephen's story mirrors that of Joyce himself, and the novel is both startlingly realistic and brilliantly crafted, not to mention that it is one of the founding texts of Modernism and the precursor ...

Oliver Twist (Oxford)

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
Oliver Twist is a classic tale of a boy of unknown parentage born in a workhouse and brought up under the cruel conditions to which pauper children were exposed in the Victorian England. With this novel, Dickens did not merely write a topical satire on the workhouse system and the role of the 1834 New Poor Law in fostering criminality. He created a moral fable about the survival of good, a romance, and a gripping story in which he exploited suspense and violence more effectively than any of his contemporaries. The new Oxford World's Classics edition of Oliver Twist is based on the authoritative Clarendon edition, which uses Dickens's revised text of 1846. It includes his preface of 1841 in which he defended himself against hostile criticism, and includes all twenty-four original illustrations by George Cruikshank. Stephen Gill's groundbreaking introduction gives a fascinating new account of the novel. He also provides appendices on Dickens and Cruikshank, on Dickens's Preface and the Newga ...

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
Between the Acts is Virginia Woolf's last novel, and in her own opinion it was ‘more quintessential' than any of her others. Set in the summer of 1939 on the day of the annual village pageant at Pointz Hall, the book weaves together the musings of several disparate characters and their reactions to the imminence of a war which is to change the pattern of history. Before the book was published in the spring of 1941, Virginia Woolf had taken her own life.

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
'I am making up "To the Lighthouse" - the sea is to be heard all through it'
Inspired by the lost bliss of her childhood summers in Cornwall, Virginia Woolf produced one of the masterworks of English literature in To the Lighthouse. It concerns the Ramsay family and their summer guests on the Isle of Skye before and after the First World War. As children play and adults paint, talk, muse and explore, relationships shift and mutate. A captivating fusion of elegy, autobiography, socio-political critique and visionary thrust, it is the most accomplished of all Woolf's novels. On completing it, she thought she had exorcised the ghosts of her imposing parents, but she had also brought form to a book every bit as vivid and intense as the work of Lily Briscoe, the indomitable artist at the centre of the novel.

The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (Oxford)

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
In this enduring and internationally popular novel, Mark Twain combines social satire and dime-novel sensation with a rhapsody on boyhood and on America's pre-industrial past. Tom Sawyer is resilient, enterprising, and vainglorious, and in a series of adventures along the banks of the Mississippi he usually manages to come out on top. From petty triumphs over his friends and over his long-suffering Aunt Polly, to his intervention in a murder trial, Tom engages readers of all ages. He has long been a defining figure in the American cultural imagination.
Alongside the charm and the excitement, the novel also raises questions about identity, and about attitudes to class and race. Above all, Twain's study of childhood brings into focus emergent notions of individual and literary maturity.
