The Walls of Jericho (Harpercollins)

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
The first novel by one of the legends of the Harlem Renaissance, a classic in the annals of Black fiction.
When Black lawyer Fred Merrit purchases a house in the most exclusive white neighbourhood bordering Harlem, he has to hire the toughest removal firm in the area to help him get his belongings past the hostile neighbours. The removal men are Jinx Jenkins and Bubber Brown, who make the move anything but straightforward.
This hilarious satire of jazz-age Harlem derides the walls people build around themselves-colour and class being chief among them. In their reactions to Merrit and to one another, the characters provide an invaluable view of the social and philosophical scene of the times.
First published in 1928, The Walls of Jericho is the first novel by Rudolph Fisher, author of The Conjure-Man Dies, whom Langston Hughes called 'the wittiest of the Harlem Renaissance writers, whose tongue was flavoured with the sharpest and saltiest humour'.

A Voice Like Velvet (Harpercollins)

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
A sensational wartime crime novel about a BBC announcer who abuses his position to commit crimes against the rich and famous…
By day Ernest Bisham is a velvet-voiced announcer for the BBC; the whole country recognises the sound of his meticulous pronouncements. By night, however, Mr Bisham is a cat-burglar, careless about his loot, but revelling in the danger and excitement of his running contest with Scotland Yard. But as he gets away with more and more daring escapades, there will come a time when he goes too far . . .
When Donald Henderson’s Mr Bowling Buys a Newspaper caused something of a sensation, his publishers were keen to capitalise on their author’s popularity, quickly reissuing The Announcer (originally published under his pen-name ‘D. H. Landels’) with the more alluring title A Voice Like Velvet. Despite a small edition of just 3,000 copies, it was his best reviewed work, as suspenseful and offbeat as his earlier success.
This Detective Club classic includes an int ...

Hitting a Straight Lick with a Crooked Stick (HQ)

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
In 1925, college student Zora Neale Hurston - the sole black student at Barnard College, New York - was living in the city, 'desperately striving for a toe-hold on the world.'
During this period, she began writing short works that captured the zeitgeist of African American life and transformed her into one of the central figures of the Harlem Renaissance. Nearly a century later, this singular talent is recognised as one of the most influential and revered American artists of the modern period.
Hitting a Straight Lick with a Crooked Stick is an outstanding collection of stories about love and migration, gender and class, racism and sexism that proudly reflect African American folk culture. Brought together for the first time in one volume, they include eight of Hurston's 'lost' Harlem stories, which were found in forgotten periodicals and archives.
These stories challenge conceptions of Hurston as an author of rural fiction and include gems that ...

Moby Dick (William Collins)

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
HarperCollins is proud to present its new range of best-loved, essential classics.
‘Towards thee I roll, thou all-destroying but unconquering whale; to the last I grapple with thee; from hell’s heart I stab at thee; for hate’s sake I spit my last breath at thee…’
Few literary masterpieces cast quite as awesome a shadow as Herman Melville’s Moby Dick. Captain Ahab’s quest for the white whale is a timeless epic – a thrilling tale of vengeance and obsession, and a searing parable about humanity lost in a universe of moral ambiguity.
Inspired by true events, Moby Dick is a work of astonishing psychological depth. It is perhaps the finest sea story ever told and one of the great classics of literature.

Frankenstein (William Collins)

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
HarperCollins is proud to present its new range of best-loved, essential classics.
‘The rain pattered dismally against the panes, and my candle was nearly burnt out, when, by the glimmer of the half-extinguished light, I saw the dull yellow eye of the creature open…’
Victor Frankenstein’s monster is stitched together from the limbs of the dead, taken from ‘the dissecting room and the slaughter-house’. The result is a grotesque being who, rejected by his maker and starved of human companionship, sets out on a journey to seek his revenge. In the most famous gothic horror story ever told, Shelley confronts the limitations of science, the nature of human cruelty and the pathway to forgiveness.
Written when Mary Shelley was only eighteen years old and published two years later, this chilling tale of a young scientist’s desire to create life – and the consequences of that creation – still resonates today.

The Yellow Wallpaper & Herland (William Collins)

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
HarperCollins is proud to present its incredible range of best-loved, essential classics.
'There are things in that wallpaper that nobody knows about but me, or ever will'
Hailed as one of the most distinctive and compelling literary voices of her era, Charlotte Perkins Gilman is praised today for her ground-breaking, feminist writing. Collected here, both The Yellow Wallpaper and Herland are extraordinary for scrutinising the patriarchal norms of turn-of-the-century America.
In The Yellow Wallpaper a woman frantically paces the empty nursery at the top of a secluded mansion. Her husband John, a physician, is of no comfort and she can't bear to sit with the new baby as his crying makes her much too nervous. And then there's the putrid, yellow wallpaper which seems to shift and creep around the room before her very eyes…
Herland, first published in 1915, follows a group of three men as they arrive in a female-only society. Peace and tranq ...

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
Elizabeth Smart’s passionate fictional account of her intense love-affair with the poet George Barker, described by Angela Carter as ‘Like MADAME BOVARY blasted by lightning … A masterpiece’.
One day, while browsing in a London bookshop, Elizabeth Smart chanced upon a slim volume of poetry by George Barker – and fell passionately in love with him through the printed word. Eventually they communicated directly and, as a result of Barker’s impecunious circumstances, Elizabeth Smart flew both him and his wife from Japan, where he was teaching, to join her in the United States. Thus began one of the most extraordinary, intense and ultimately tragic love affairs of our time. They never married but Elizabeth bore George Barker four children and their relationship provided the impassioned inspiration for one of the most moving and immediate chronicles of a love affair ever written – ‘By Grand Central Station I Sat Down and Wept’.
Originally published in 1945, this remarkable book is now wid ...

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
Republished for the first time in nearly 95 years, a classic winter country house mystery by the founder of the Detection Club, with a twist that even Agatha Christie couldn’t solve!
Stephen Munro, a demobbed army officer, reconciles himself to taking a job as a footman to make ends meet. Employed at Wintringham Hall, the delightful but decaying Sussex country residence of the elderly Lady Susan Carey, his first task entails welcoming her eccentric guests to a weekend house-party, at which her bombastic nephew – who recognises Stephen from his former life – decides that an after-dinner seance would be more entertaining than bridge. Then Cicely disappears!
With Lady Susan reluctant to call the police about what is presumably a childish prank, Stephen and the plucky Pauline Mainwaring take it upon themselves to investigate. But then a suspicious death turns the game into an altogether more serious affair…
This classic winter mystery incorporates all the trappings of the Go ...

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
HarperCollins is proud to present its new range of best-loved, essential classics.
‘So he rose and lighted one lamp after another, till he had lighted the whole eighty and the palace seemed to dance with brilliancy.’
Beginning with the legend of King Shahryr, whose anger at his queen’s infidelity leads him to murder a new wife each day, Arabian Nights weaves together ancient folklore and magic in an anthology of fantastical and evocative stories dating from the ninth century.
Rich with suspense, passion and tragedy, Sir Richard Burton’s celebrated translation continues to transport readers across oceans, to mystical lands and ancient palaces in tales such as ‘The Lovers of Bessorah’, The Fellah and His Wicked Wife’ and ‘The Hunchback’s Tale’.

Emma (William Collins)

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
'The real evils, indeed, of Emma's situation were the power of having rather too much her own way, and a disposition to think a little too well of herself...'
Beautiful, rich, self-assured and witty, Emma Woodhouse delights in matchmaking those around her, with no apparent care for her own romantic life. Taking young Harriet Smith under her wing, Emma sets her sights on finding a suitable match for her friend. Chided for her mistakes by old friend Mr Knightley, it is only when Harriet starts to pursue her own love interests that Emma realises the true hidden depths of her own heart.
Delightful, engaging and entertaining, and with a dazzling gallery of characters, Emma is arguably Austen's most well-loved social comedy.

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
HarperCollins is proud to present its new range of best-loved, essential classics.
‘People glorify all sorts of bravery except the bravery they might show on behalf of their nearest neighbours’
Rejecting the conventional narratives of the time, Middlemarch shows a realistic portrayal of Victorian village life. Peopling this ground-breaking work are Tertius Lydgate, a talented yet naive young doctor; Dorothea Brooke, stuck in a loveless marriage; and the religious hypocrite Bulstrode, hiding shocking crimes from his past.
An intricate story weaving together many lives, Middlemarch is described as one of the best-loved novels of all time and heralded as ‘one of the few English novels written for grown-up people’ by Virginia Woolf. It is a richly nuanced drama that is a quintessential English classic.

Sir Gawain And The Green Knight with Pearl and Sir Orfeo (Harper Collins UK)
скидки на товар нигде нет ;( это обычная* цена - 1327.00 руб.
|
ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
This smart new paperback edition contains the fully-reset text of three medieval English poems, translated by Tolkien for the modern-day reader and containing romance, tragedy, love, sex and honour. It features a beautifully decorated text and includes as a bonus the complete version of Tolkien’s acclaimed lecture on Sir Gawain.
Sir Gawain and the Green Knight and Pearl are two poems by an unknown author written in about 1400. Sir Gawain is a romance, a fairy-tale for adults, full of life and colour; but it is also much more than this, being at the same time a powerful moral tale which examines religious and social values.
Pearl is apparently an elegy on the death of a child, a poem pervaded with a sense of great personal loss: but, like Gawain it is also a sophisticated and moving debate on much less tangible matters.
Sir Orfeo is a slighter romance, belonging to an earlier and different tradition. It was a special favourite of Tolkien’s.
The three translations represent the complete ...

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
Роман "Смерть героя" английского писателя и поэта Ричарда Олдингтона (1892-1962) - роман антивоенный. Создан он в 1929 году. Время его действия - годы Первой мировой войны, в которой участвовал и сам автор.
Олдингтона считают одним из самых значимых писателей "потерянного поколения", тех, кто принял участие в Первой мировой, уцелел, но не смог приспособиться к мирному течению жизни.
Свое произведение писатель называет "роман-джаз", и его части озаглавлены музыкальными терминами.
…Эта книга, в сущности, - надгробный плач, слабая попытка создать памятник поколению, которое на многое надеялось, честно боролось и глубоко страдало. Вы - военное поколение. Вы рождены для того, чтобы сражаться в этой войне, ее нужно выиграть - и вы ее выиграете, это мы твердо решили. Что до каждого из вас в отдельности - не имеет ни малейшего значения, будете вы убиты или нет. Вероятнее всего, вас убьют - во всяком случае, большинство. Советую заранее с этим примириться.
Ричард Олдингтон

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
Посленаполеоновская Франция насквозь пропитана сиропом иезуитского лицемерия. Но даже такая Франция - прекрасна. Быть может, только здесь слава и богатство неотделимы от успеха у женщин. У безродного провинциала Жюльена Сореля есть все, чтобы покорить мир: талант, ум, отвага. А главное, он способен внушить женщине безоглядную страсть к себе. Этот выскочка уже близок к осуществлению всех своих честолюбивых надежд. В его власти обожаемая дочь маркиза де Ла Моля, одного из сильных мира сего. Победа над юной аристократкой обеспечивает красавцу слуге триумфальный взлет. Но другая женщина, прежняя жертва его чар, готова отомстить даже ценой всесветного позора, который уничтожит и ее, и ее семью - детей, мужа. Психологический экспрессионизм Достоевского в декорациях "Графа Монте-Кристо" - вот что делает роман Стендаля "Красное и черное" (1830) явлением, не знающим аналогов в литературе XIX века.
