ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
Published in 1718, The Life and Strange Surprising Adventures of Robinson Crusoe of York, Mariner is sometimes cited as the first English language novel. The work presents itself as the autobiographical account of a man who endures decades as a castaway on a remote island off Venezuela. In creating Crusoe, it is thought that Daniel Defoe took as his model Alexander Selkirk, a Scottish sailor who in the early 18th century had spent four years marooned on a Pacific island.
Defoe's life was, if anything, even more adventurous. He is believed to have been bom in London, circa 1660. As a young man, Defoe ran a mercantile business, before debt nearly landed him in prison. Other legal issues followed, brought on by his participation in the ill-fated 1685 attempt to overthrow James II. Twelve years later, Defoe began writing political pamphlets, an activity that led to his imprisonment. He was released after agreeing to work as a government pamphleteer and spy.
Though his pamphlets were influential ...

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
Arthur Conan Doyle was born on 22 May 1859 in Edinburgh. He received his early education from Jesuits, but as an adolescent rejected Christianity, proclaimed himself an agnostic and later embraced Spiritualism. Attracted to both literature and medicine, Conan Doyle sold his first story to Chambers's Edinburgh Journal whilst studying to become a doctor at the University of Edinburgh. He completed his studies and established an unsuccessful ophthalmology practice in Plymouth. With few patients, Conan Doyle supplemented a rather meagre income through writing. His first major success came at the end of 1887, with the publication of A Study in Scarlet in Beeton's Christmas Annual. Published in book form the following summer, the short novel featured the first appearance of Sherlock Holmes. More works featuring the great detective soon followed, including the novel The Sign of Four (1890) and the twelve stories that, together, comprise The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes (1892). By 1893, Conan Doyle had tir ...

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
First published in 1879, A Doll's House rewrote the rules of drama. Henrik Ibsen's biographer, Halvdan Koht, wrote that the play "exploded like a bomb into contemporary life... [pronouncing] a death sentence on accepted social ethics" and its author was decried as "an obscene defiler of the purity of the home".
Before Ibsen, tragedies examined the lives of the aristocracy and upper classes, but A Doll's House was the first serious play to be written in prose about ordinary people in everyday situations. The plot revolves around Nora Helmer who is married to Torvald, an ambitious banker. Initially, the couple seem ideally matched, but as a consequence of blackmail Nora is forced to re-examine her life along with her role as a frivolous, scatter-brained wife.

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
Jonathan Swift's entry into the world, on 30 November 1667 at Dublin, was not an easy one. Seven months before the author's birth, his father died, leaving an English wife lacking in income. As a boy, Swift was taken under the wing of a wealthy uncle, who paid for his education. He attended Trinity College in Dublin and Oxford, and was later ordained as an Anglican priest. Swift remained in England, becoming active in politics, and developed a reputation as a great satirist. His first major work, A Tale of a Tub (1704), an irreverent take on religious excess, was followed by The Battle of the Books (1704) and a 1711 pamphlet attacking the Whig government.
Swift's political activities had an adverse effect on his livelihood, and in 1713, he returned to Ireland.
There he produced his finest writing, including Gulliver's Travels. Presented as the work of Lemuel Gulliver, an adventurer, this unique blending of satire and parody was originally published under the title Travels into ...
