Генри Джеймс - не только один из самых известных классиков мировой литературы, но и ярчайший представитель трансатлантической культуры рубежа XIX и XX веков.
Роман "Вашингтонская площадь" по праву считается прекрасным примером американской психологической прозы. В центре романа - трагедия молодой наивной Кэтрин и тема поиска самого себя. Произведение отличается глубоким вниманием к деталям, точной фиксацией тончайших и едва заметных оттенков внутреннего состояния героев.

An Outcast of the Islands (Т8)

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
An Outcast of the Islands was only Conrad's second novel, but in its theme, in its impressionistic use of scenery, and, and over all, in the enormous richness and power of the writing, it predicts Conrad's position as a literary figure of the highest rank.
Peter Willems, a clerk in Macassar, granted a "second chance" at a remote river trading post, falls ever more hopelessly into traps set by himself and others.
A parable of human frailty, with love and death the major players, this is a story of a man unable to understand others and fated never to possess his own soul.

After seventeen years, Brenda Cryer returns to the tiny Lancashire village of Parson's Fold with a shadowy past and a mysterious fortune. Shortly afterwards she is shot dead, and the one possible witness - her invalid mother - is missing…
The only man available for the job is the notoriously slow and old-fashioned Inspector Mosley, but this case is a radical departure for a man more used to locating missing geese than tracking down a coldblooded killer. And it doesn't help that Mosley refuses to use forensics or computers, preferring to trust 'intuition' and a network of gossips, busybodies and village idlers to get to the bottom of things.
Luckily, high-flying Sergeant Beamish - fresh out of the police academy and nursing a penchant for technology - has been tasked to keep an eye on the unpredictable Mosley.
