ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
The shocking first-hand account of one man's remarkable fight for freedom; now an award-winning motion picture.
'Why had I not died in my young years - before God had given me children to love and live for? What unhappiness and suffering and sorrow it would have prevented. I sighed for liberty; but the bondsman's chain was round me, and could not be shaken off.'
1841: Solomon Northup is a successful violinist when he is kidnapped and sold into slavery. Taken from his family in New York State - with no hope of ever seeing them again - and forced to work on the cotton plantations in the Deep South, he spends the next twelve years in captivity until his eventual escape in 1853.

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.

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. Melville unites narrative virtuosity with a lifetime of sailing experience in perhaps the single most important classic of American literature.

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
В литературе и вообще в культуре некоторые произведения вызывают творческое эхо, как камешек, брошенный в воду, вызывает круги на ее поверхности. Пушкинская «Метель» стала таким «камешком», не давала покоя сочинителям, и наконец Владимир Соллогуб откликнулся, причем прямо обозначил, что именно Пушкин его вдохновил. Вскоре в творческое соревнование вступил Лев Толстой — так появились три новеллы с одним и тем же названием «Метель» и зародилась литературная традиция, пополнив ряд «бродячих сюжетов». О притягательности образа метели в литературе и разнообразном его воплощении от Пушкина до наших дней рассказал профессор Сергей Стахорский в предисловии, им же написаны комментарии. Этой книгой издательство «Никея» начинает новую линейку «литературных расследований» — изысканный подарок для книжных гурманов.

'This was the slaying of the Minotaur, which put an end forever to the shameful tribute of seven youths and seven maidens which was exacted from the Athenians every nine years.'
The gods, heroes and legends of Greek mythology and their Roman interpretations are as fascinating as they are instructive. They include the almighty Zeus and his many wives; heroic Perseus, slayer of the snake-headed Medusa; Helen of Troy, whose beauty caused a great war; Medea, driven mad by jealousy; and tragic Persephone, doomed to live half of each year in the Underworld, condemning the world above to winter.
First published in 1880, this comprehensive collection is an early modern retelling of the characters and tales of ancient Greece and Rome; a popular account which offers an important insight into the ancient civilisations that it evokes, and forms a basis for our understanding of the classical world.
