ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
A normal man on Earth, but a warrior and prince on Mars
John Carter, veteran of the American Civil War, finds himself transported from Arizona to Mars when hiding from attackers in a secret cave. The inhabitants greet him, referring to the planet as Barsoom, and Carter finds that he has superhuman strength and agility due to the different gravity of this new world.
After joining the nomadic tribe of green, six-limbed Martians called Tharks, he rises through the ranks and earns the respect and friendship of one of the chiefs. Until, that is, the Tharks capture Dejah Thoris, Princess of Helium and a member of the red, humanoid Martians. Rescuing Dejah Thoris, Carter attempts to return her to her people, finding himself at the centre of a conflict that reaches across Martian society, all while falling in love. Can he save Barsoom? What of Earth? Does he want to return, or would he rather stay with Dejah Thoris?
A Princess of Mars was first serialised in 1912, and to celebra ...

They Were Counted (Arcadia Book)
скидки на товар нигде нет ;( это обычная* цена - 2619.00 руб.
|
ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
An extraordinary portrait of the vanished world of pre-1914 Hungary, They Were Counted is an epic story told through the eyes of two cousins, Count Balint Abady and Count Laszlo Gyeroffy. Shooting parties in great country houses, turbulent scenes in parliament and the luxury life in Budapest provide the backdrop for this gripping, prescient novel, forming a chilling indictment of upper-class frivolity and political folly in which good manners cloak indifference and brutality. Abady becomes aware of the plight of a group of Romanian mountain peasants and champions their cause, while Gyeroffy dissipates his resources at the gaming tables, mirroring the decline of the Austro-Hungarian empire itself.
This is the first volume Banffy's trilogy, which continues with They Were Found Wanting and They Were Divided. It was rediscovered for an international readership after the fall of communism in Hungary.

Monday Morning (Abacus)

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
'Beyond the fact that it was, in face of a vivid and calamitous ending, to reveal from his own experience the ardent splendours of Youth's adventure, he didn't quite know what his novel was going to be about.'
Monday Morning wryly tells the story of Anthony, a young man taking his passionate first steps in life, in London, and in love. Not yet worn down by the world, Anthony is determined to write the novel that will bring him fame and fortune - and to marry the beautiful Diane. Patrick Hamilton's witty, playful first novel introduces us to the grimy world of metropolitan boarding houses and provincial theatrical digs that would be the setting for his later masterpieces Hangover Square and The Slaves of Solitude, and the hopes, dreams and regrets those who live there.

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
In 1836 the 23-year-old Dickens was invited by his publishers to write ‘a monthly something' illustrated by sporting plates. Thus the Pickwick Club was born: its supposed ‘papers' soom outgrew their origins and became a brilliantly comic novel, still among Dicken's most popular works.

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
One of the most exciting and best-loved novels of all time, The Count of Monte Cristo is a timeless tale of endurance, courage, and revenge. Falsely accused of treason, the young sailor Edmond Dantes is arrested on his wedding day and imprisoned on an island fortress. After years of solitary confinement in a cramped, dank dungeon, he befriends an Italian prisoner who, with his dying breath, reveals the location of a vast treasure on the island of Monte Cristo. Dantes stages a daring and dramatic escape, retrieves this fabulous fortune, and returns to France to exact revenge on his enemies, posing as the Count of Monte Cristo. Dantes pursues his vengeance to the bitter end, only then realizing that he himself is a victim of fate. This newly revised, unabridged translation is as unputdownable now as it was when the novel first appeared. It thoroughly updates the classic translation based on the original serialization and includes a new bibliography and revised notes, plus a lively introduction by David Coward,

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
'Lie to me by the moonlight. Do a fabulous story.'
F. Scott Fitzgerald's first story collection, Flappers and Philosophers, appeared in 1920 on the heels of his debut novel, This Side of Paradise, and immediately established him a master of popular fiction.
Love stories such as 'The Offshore Pirate' and 'Head and Shoulders' capture the spectacle and fantasy of the Jazz Age, celebrating that modern icon of feminine self-possession, the flapper, while comedies of manner like 'Bernice Bobs Her Hair' and 'The Ice Palace' showcase Fitzgerald's eye for humour. In addition to these four classic tales, which first appeared in The Saturday Evening Post, this edition highlights the author's proficiency with other crowd-pleasing story types: from Gothic fiction ('The Cut-Glass Bowl') to didactic moral stories ('The Four Fists'), from satire ('Dalyrimple Goes Wrong') to spiritual quests ('Benedict ...

The Classic Horror Stories (Oxford)

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
H. P. Lovecraft (1890-1937) was a reclusive scribbler of horror stories for the American pulp magazines that specialized in Gothic and science fiction in the interwar years. He often published in Weird Tales and has since become the key figure in the slippery genre of "weird fiction."
Lovecraft developed an extraordinary vision of feeble men driven to the edge of sanity by glimpses of malign beings that have survived from human prehistory or by malevolent extra-terrestrial visitations. The ornate language of his stories builds towards grotesque moments of revelation, quite unlike any other writer.

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
С книги Мигеля де Сервантеса (1547-1616) "Хитроумный идальго Дон Кихот Ламанчский" (1605, 1615) началась новая история европейской прозы. Переведенный, и довольно быстро, на множество языков, он оказал большое влияние на литературу многих народов; на русскую литературу - просто огромное. Достоевский говорил, что "Дон Кихот" принадлежит к числу книг, написанных на много столетий вперед. При этом из разнообразных толкований книги и ее главного образа выкристаллизовалась, стала основной одна трактовка. Взгляд на Дон Кихота как на воплощение идеи о высоком предназначении человека, как на героя, жертвующего собой во имя добра и справедливости. Таким он вошел и в массовую культуру, став мгновенно считываемым мемом.
Но в действительности роман о Рыцаре Печального Образа намного сложней, интересней, глубже. "Про Дон Кихота надо сказать: жил безумным, умер мудрым. "Дон Кихот" рассказывает, какая должна быть женщина и как должен любить мужчина. Люди думают, что "Дон Кихот&q ...

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
"Midway upon the journey of our life I found myself within a forest dark For the straightforward pathway had been lost... "
Canto I
Dante's Divine Comedy, and in particular "Inferno", is a masterpiece of world literature. The fearsome journey recounted in "Inferno" is told by a pilgrim - the poet himself - who meanders through the increasingly macabre landscape of Hell. He meets and often recognizes the various inhabitants of the hellish circles and witnesses their strangely befitting punishments.
It is a spiritual allegory without comparison: at once a voyage of self-discovery and a revelation of the divine.

With its imperfect but charming heroine and its witty and subtle exploration of relationships, "Emma" is often seen as Jane Austen's most flawless work.
