The Time Traveller finds himself in a verdant, seemingly idyllic landscape where he is greeted by the diminutive Eloi people. The Eloi are beautiful but weak and indolent, and the explorer is perplexed by their fear of the dark. He soon discovers the reason for their fear - the Eloi are not the only race to have inherited the earth. When his time machine disappears, the Time Traveller must descend alone into the subterranean tunnels of the Morlocks - a terrifying, carnivorous people who toil in darkness - to reclaim it.

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
On a perfect June morning, Clarissa Dalloway – fashionable, worldly, wealthy, an accomplished hostess – sets off to buy flowers for the party she will host that evening. She is preoccupied with thoughts of the present and memories of the past, and from her interior monologue emerge the people who have touched her life. On the same day, Septimus Warren Smith, a shell-shocked survivor of the Great War, commits suicide, and casual mention of his death at the party provokes in Clarissa thoughts of her own isolation and loneliness.
Bold and experimental, Virginia Woolf's Mrs Dalloway is a landmark in twentieth-century fiction and a book that gets better and better with every reading.
This elegant Macmillan Collector’s Library edition of Virginia Woolf's modernist classic features an afterword by editor and publisher Anna South.

Diary of a Provincial Lady (Macmillan)

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
E. M. Delafield's largely autobiographical novel takes the form of a journal written by an upper-middle-class lady living in a Devonshire village. Written with humour, this charming novel is full of the peculiarities of daily life. The Provincial Lady of the title attempts to avoid disaster and prevent chaos from descending upon her household. But with a husband reluctant to do anything but doze behind The Times, mischievous children and trying servants, it's a challenge keeping up appearances on an inadequate income, particularly in front of the infuriating and haughty Lady Boxe. As witty and delightful today as when it was first published in 1930, Diary of a Provincial Lady is a brilliantly observed comic novel and an acknowledged classic.
This beautiful Macmillan Collector's Library edition features an introduction by author and journalist Christina Hardyment.

Hard Times (Macmillan)
скидки на товар нигде нет ;( это обычная* цена - 2059.00 руб.
|
ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
A novel of social and moral themes, Hard Times is the archetypal Dickens novel, filled with family difficulties, estrangement, rotten values and unhappiness. Published in 1854, it is set in the imaginary Coketown, an industrial city inspired by Preston, and tells the story of the family of Thomas Gradgrind, a man obsessed with misguided 'Utilitarian' values that make him trust facts, statistics and practicality over emotion. Based on James Mill (the Utilitarian leader), Gradgrind raises his own children, Louisa and Tom, in line with these same views, forcing an artless existence on them. Contemporary critics such as Macaulay savaged the book for its supposed 'sullen socialism' but it has become well regarded since earning the favour of George Bernard Shaw.
This Macmillan Collector's Library edition is illustrated by Harry French, with an afterword by David Stuart Davies.

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
Возможна ли абсолютная свобода - или нам навеки суждено оставаться в узких рамках дозволенного? Что такое любовь - унизительный психологический атавизм или, напротив, одна из высших свобод, доступных мужчине и женщине? И где проходит грань между прозябанием и полноценной жизнью? "Быть или не быть?" - главный, в сущности, вопрос, который мыслители задают себе и человечеству. Однако Сартр, сторонник концепции "обесценивая жизни", дает на него весьма и весьма необычный ответ… В "Дорогах свободы" ярко выражены философские, политические, интеллектуальные и творческие убеждения Жана Поля Сартра.
