ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
'Do you think, because I am poor, obscure, plain and little, I am soulless and heartless? You think wrong! - I have as much soul as you, - and full as much heart!'
Meek, measured, but determined, Jane Eyre is a child born into unfortunate circumstances. Orphaned, mistreated by her cruel aunt and eventually sent away to boarding school, it is not until she becomes a governess at the imposing Thornfield Hall that Jane begins to find happiness, drawn to Mr Rochester, the brooding and stormy master. But strange and unnerving events have been occurring at Thornfield, and the demons of Rochester's past threaten to shatter everything Jane has grown to hold dear.
Originally published in 1847 under the pseudonym Currer Bell, Jane Eyre is Charlotte Bronte's best known novel, a Gothic masterpiece of character and emotion.

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
HarperCollins is proud to present its range of best-loved, essential classics.
Lady Chatterley's Lover was banned on its publication in 1928, creating a storm of controversy. Lawrence tells the story of Constance Chatterley's marriage to Sir Clifford, an aristocratic and an intellectual who is paralyzed from the waist down after the First World War. Desperate for an heir and embarrassed by his inability to satisfy his wife, Clifford suggests that she have an affair. Constance, troubled by her husband's words, finds herself involved in a passionate relationship with their gamekeeper, Oliver Mellors. Lawrence's vitriolic denunciations of industrialism and class division come together in his vivid depiction of the profound emotional and physical connection between a couple otherwise divided by station and society.

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
HarperCollins is proud to present its range of best-loved, essential classics.
‘The woman who first gives life, light, and form to our shadowy conceptions of beauty, fills a void in our spiritual nature that has remained unknown to us till she appeared.’
One of the earliest works of ‘detective’ fiction with a narrative woven together from multiple characters, Wilkie Collins partly based his infamous novel on a real-life eighteenth century case of abduction and wrongful imprisonment. In 1859, the story caused a sensation with its readers, hooking their attention with the ghostly first scene where the mysterious ‘Woman in White’ Anne Catherick comes across Walter Hartright. Chilling, suspenseful and tense in mood, the novel remains as emotive for its readers today as when it was first published.

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
'Wuthering Heights is commonly thought of as "romantic", but try rereading it without being astonished by the extremes of physical and psychological violence' Jeanette Winterson
Emily Bronte's novel of impossible desires, violence and transgression is a masterpiece of intense, unsettling power. It begins in a snowstorm, when Lockwood, the new tenant of Thrushcross Grange on the bleak Yorkshire moors, is forced to seek shelter at Wuthering Heights. There he discovers the history of the tempestuous events that took place years before: the intense passion between the foundling Heathcliff and Catherine Earnshaw, her betrayal of him and the bitter vengeance he now wreaks on the innocent heirs of the past.

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
Бесстрашный охотник Аллан Квотермейн по прозвищу Макумазан, что означает «человек, который встает после полуночи», никогда не любил сырости и чопорности родной Англии, предпочитая жаркий пыльный простор африканского вельда; его влекли неизведанные, полные опасностей земли Черного континента, где живут простодушные и жестокие, как все дети природы, люди, где бродят стада диких буйволов и рычат по ночам свирепые львы. Вот эта жизнь была по нраву Квотермейну — любимому герою замечательного писателя Генри Райдера Хаггарда (1856–1925), который посвятил отважному охотнику множество книг. Цикл приключений Аллана Квотермейна продолжают «Священный цветок», «Чудовище по имени Хоу-Хоу», «Она и Аллан» (роман выходит в новом переводе), «Сокровище озера». Эти произведения печатаются с сохранением примечаний английских издателей. Книга иллюстрирована классическими рисунками Мориса Грайфенхагена и замечательной графикой Елены Шипицыной.

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
‘Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks, But bears it out even to the edge of doom’
Sonnets are for romantics, starry-eyed lovers and ardent hearts. And Shakespeare’s sonnets are the best ever written.
But this is why they are also for cynics, for star-crossed lovers and for those who know the anguish of unrequited love.
Some of them are written to a young man, some of them to a woman. And although the poems are full of mystery – why did Shakespeare write them, what was his sexuality? – each one speaks to us from across the centuries of love, hate and the intensity of being alive.
Includes exclusive content: In the 'Backstory' you can find a short, handy, funny guide to everything you might want to know about Shakespeare and his sonnets.
