ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
Офицер британского военного флота Фредерик Марриет (1792-1848) прославился у себя в отечестве почти легендарными подвигами в морских сражениях с французами, в экспедициях в южные моря и особенно в бирманской кампании 1824 года, принесшей ему высшие почести. И все-таки имя капитана Марриета затерялось бы во флотских летописях, если бы не перешло на обложки приключенческих морских романов, которые сделали его известным не только в Англии, но и во всем мире.
Настоящее иллюстрированное издание включает четыре знаменитых романа Фредерика Марриета - "Мичман Изи", "Корабль-призрак", "Королевская собственность", "Приключения Ньютона Форстера".
Издание снабжено многочисленными иллюстрациями английских художников.

Lucy Snowe, the narrator of this book, flees from an unhappy past in England to begin a new life as a teacher at a French boarding school in the great cosmopolitan capital of Villette.

Bronte's strikingly modern heroine must decide if there is any man in her society with whom she can live and still be free.

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
Настоящее издание позволяет по-новому взглянуть па классика английской литературы Джозефа Конрада (1857-1924), который известен российскому читателю несколько однобоко - как маринист и автор приключенческих романов, действие которых разворачивается в экзотических странах. Личность Конрада по-своему уникальна: поляк по происхождению, он, не зная английского в детстве, виртуозно овладел им и стал не только капитаном британского торгового флота, но затем и писателем, чьи авантюрно-психологические романы подготовили явление европейского модернизма. Его мастерство признавал даже такой эстет, как Г. Джеймс.
Не менее парадоксально и то, что автор, декларировавший неприязнь ко всему русскому (к русской литературе, русскому языку, русскому богоискательству, русской революционной идее), на самом пике своего творчества создает два романа - "Тайный агент: Простая история" (1907) и "На взгляд Запада" (1910), объединенные именно "русской темой", в трактовке которой Конрад во многом следу ...

The Deerslayer or The First Warpath (Т8)

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
James Fenimore Cooper was a prolific and popular American writer of the first half of the 19th century. His historical romances of frontier and Indian life in the early American days created a unique form of American literature. The Deerslayer was the last of Cooper's Leatherstocking Tales to be written, however, it is considered to be the prequel to the rest of the series. This novel introduces Natty Bumppo as "Deerslayer": a young frontiersman in early 18th-century New York, who objects to the practice of taking scalps, on grounds that every living thing should follow "the gifts" of its nature.

Comic Sagas and Tales from Iceland (Penguin)

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
Icelandic literary culture was one of the richest and most important in the medieval world. Texts that were written in Iceland during this period include Njal's Saga, Egil's Saga, The Vinland Sagas, as well as the Comic Sagas and Tales collected in this volume.
Comic Sagas and Tales brings together the finest comic stories from medieval Iceland. With feuding families and moments of grotesque violence, the sagas see such classic mythological figures as murdered fathers, disguised beggars, corrupt chieftains and avenging sons do battle with axes, words and cunning. The tales, meanwhile, follow heroes and comical fools through dreams, voyages and religious conversions in Iceland and beyond. Shaped by Iceland's oral culture and their conversion to Christianity, these stories are works of ironic humour and stylistic innovation.
In the introduction to these new translations, Vi?ar Hreinsson examines how the stories satirised old-style sagas while exploiting their classic the ...

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
Joris-Karl Huysmans' shocking novel of an innocent's descent into a world of depraved, blasphemous rituals, The Damned (La-Bas) caused a scandal when it was first published in nineteenth-century France. This Penguin Classics edition is translated with an introduction and notes by Terry Hale.
Durtal, a shy, censorious man, is writing a biography of Gilles de Rais, the monstrous fifteenth-century child-murderer thought to be the original for 'Bluebeard'. Bored and disgusted by the vulgarity of everyday life, Durtal seeks spiritual solace by immersing himself in another age. But when he starts asking questions about Gilles's involvement in satanic rituals and is introduced to the exquisitely evil madame Chantelouve, he is soon drawn into a twilight world of black magic and erotic devilry in fin-de- siecle Paris. Published in 1891, The Damned cemented Huysmans's reputation as a writer at the forefront of the avant-garde and as one of the most challenging and innovative f ...

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
The exhilaration that comes from reading Adam Bede owes its existence to the fact that on every page George Eliot seems absorbed in the process of spiritual discovery. The evocations of bygone rural life for which Adam Bede was so resoundingly praised on its publication in 1859 are charged with a personal passion that intensifies the novel’s outer dramas of seduction and betrayal, and inner dramas of moral growth and redemption.

In this, Mann's first novel, his astounding, semi-autobiographical family epic, he portrays the transition of genteel Germanic stability to a very modern uncertainty.

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
One of the greatest poes of Persia's golden age, Jalal al-Din, commonly known as Rumi (1207–73) is, with the exception of Omar Khayyam, the most celebrated of all Persian writers. A scholar and theologian of great subtlety, Rumi is known in the West as a celebrant of Sufism, the mystical branch of Islam which cultivates above all things union with God, the Beloved. This spiritual doctrine he expounded in lyric verse of startling beauty, earthy humour and human sympathy, qualities which still speal to readers in our own time, Muslim or non-Muslim. By drawing on versions from different translators, ranging from the free to the near-literal, this selection from the huge corpus of Rumi's work reveals an engaging, brilliant and passionate poet with a seemingly limitless fund of vivid metaphor and homely fable.
