ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
If music be the food of love, play on;
Give me excess of it, that, surfeiting,
The appetite may sicken, and so die.
A comedic romance of mistaken identity, Twelfth Night begins with a shipwreck, splitting up Viola and her twin brother Sebastian. Alone in a strange land, Viola disguises herself as a male servant Cesario in order to work for the Duke Orsino. Orsino is in love with Lady Olivia, but it is Cesario that Olivia falls for. A farcical tale of misplaced love, confusion, gender-swapping and aspiration, Twelfth Night remains one of Shakespeare's best-loved and inventive comedies.

Not long after the voyage has begun, Ahab tells the crew about his secret plot to hunt down the whale that crippled him on a previous voyage, Moby Dick. The crew of the Pequod are also after as much sperm oil as their ship can carry, and the account of the crew's years-long pursuit of the White Whale is interspersed with detailed and encyclopaedic descriptions of a whaler's life.

Yet, as Winston begins to write his own history, a seed of rebellion begins to grow in his heart - one that could have devastating consequences.

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
Роман Андре Жида "Фальшивомонетчики", впервые напечатанный в 1925 году, сразу был признан новаторским по форме и скандальным по содержанию. Новаторским он считается до сих пор, поскольку во многом определил дальнейшее развитие французской литературы XX века, а что касается скандальности… Пожалуй, представления об этом за минувшие сто лет сильно изменились. Современный читатель вряд ли сочтет скандальной историю о разрушении устоев и о душевных метаниях молодого поколения, которому традиционные ценности кажутся фальшивыми.
