The Pioneers (Т8)

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
The Pioneers enters of Cooper's Leatherstocking Tales, and the one that incorporates most fully his own experience of growing up in a town of the American frontier. The heart of the novel is a conflict over who owns America, and by what concept of right. The competing claims of Native Americans, Tory loyalists, roving hunters, and visionary cultivators are pitted against one another in the area of history, and the magical village of Cooper's youth becomes the scene in which a nation's destiny is forged.
Just as accessible and enjoyable for today's modern readers as it would have been when first published well over a century ago, the novel is one of the great works of American literature and continues to be widely read throughout the world.

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
Один из самых популярных и читаемых классиков французской литературы, автор всемирно известных "Собора Парижской Богоматери", "Отверженных", "Человека, который смеется", Виктор Гюго (1802-1885) в настоящем томе представлен своими дебютными романами - "Ган Исландец" и "Бюг-Жаргаль". Оба произведения созданы в 20-е годы XIXв., когда их юный автор еще не переступил порог двадцатилетия, оба интересны не только с точки зрения эволюции самого Гюго, поражающего своей рано проявившейся одаренностью, а впоследствии и творческим долголетием, но и в контексте формирования столь актуального для современной литературы жанра, как исторический роман. Публикуемые романы оказались на перекрестке двух эпох - просветительской и романтической, а потому впитали в себя и традицию готики, восходящую к Г.Уолполу, А Радклиф и М.-Г.Льюису, и живой интерес романтиков к разного рода экзотике (красочно-южной, как в "Бюг-Жаргале", или сумеречно-северной, как в "Гане Исландц ...

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
В своем «тюремном романе», вопреки традиции жанра, Борель представляет весьма обширную географию: следуя за автором, читатель пройдет по сумрачным аллеям замковых парков, зеленым тропинкам ирландской провинции, широким улицам и площадям Парижа, «этого огромного скопления людей и камней», посетит цветущий остров Святой Маргариты, проникнет в погруженные во тьму склепы Венсеннского замка и чадящие смрадом подземелья Бастилии. Борель обращается и к экзистенциальным вопросам, противопоставляя три вечные силы, борющиеся в груди человека, трех всадников: Мир с его развлечениями и пирами, Скит с раздумьями и аскезой, Небытие с его ни с чем не сравнимым покоем. За читателем остается выбор, как воспринимать роман «Мадам Потифар», через который красной нитью проходит единая мысль — о неисповедимости путей, мудрости Провидения и неотвратимости Возмездия за содеянное. В разделе «Дополнения» представлены два эссе: отзыв «князя критиков» Жюля Жанена на роман «Мадам Потифар» и эссе Шарля Бодлера, посвященное творчеству Бо ...

One of Wodehouse's funniest books, The Heart of Goof is a collection of peerlessly comic short stories.

‘To dive into a Wodehouse novel is to swim in some of the most elegantly turned phrases in the English language' Ben Schott
‘There are moments, Jeeves, when one asks oneself, "Do trousers matter?"'
‘The mood will pass, sir.'
Aunt Dahlia has tasked Bertie with purloining an antique cow creamer from Totleigh Towers. In order to do so, Jeeves hatches a scheme whereby Bertie must charm the droopy and altogether unappealing Madeline and face the wrath of would-be dictator Roderick Spode. Though the prospect fills him with dread, when duty calls, Bertie will answer, for Aunt Dahlia will not be denied.
In a plot that swiftly becomes rife with mishaps, it is Jeeves who must extract his master from trouble. Again.
‘To have one of his books in your hand is to possess, by way of a pill, that which can relieve anxiety, rageiness, or an afternoon-long tendency towards the sour. Paper has rarely been put to better use than printing Wodehouse' Caitlin Moran

Several terrible misunderstandings later and facing chaos, Bertie turns, yet again, to Jeeves who swiftly and ingeniously saves the day.

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
The War is just over. In Venice, a city elaborately and affectionately described, the American Colonel, Richard Cantrell, falls passionately in love with Renata, a young Italian countess who has 'a profile that could break your or anyone else's heart'. Cantrell is embittered, war-scarred and old enough to be Renata's father, but he is overwhelmed by the selflessness and freshness of the love she is offering.
But this is no fairy tale. The fighting may be ended, but the wounds of war have not yet healed. And for some, the longed-for peace has come too late. A lesser known classic by one of the great American writers of the twentieth century, Across the River And Into The Trees is still vintage Hemingway.

Barchester Towers (Penguin)

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
After the death of old Dr Grantly, a bitter struggle begins over who will succeed him as Bishop of Barchester. And when the decision is finally made to appoint the evangelical Dr Proudie, rather than the son of the old bishop, Archdeacon Grantly, resentment and suspicion threaten to cause deep divisions within the diocese. Trollope's masterly depiction of the plotting and back-stabbing that ensues lies at the heart of one of the most vivid and comic of his Barsetshire novels, peopled by such very different figures as the saintly Warden of Hiram's Hospital, Septimus Harding, the ineffectual but well-meaning new bishop and his terrifying wife, and the oily chaplain Mr Slope who has designs on Mr Harding's daughter.

The Master of Ballantrae (Penguin)

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
Set at the time of the Jacobite uprising, The Master of Ballantrae tells of a family divided. James Durie, Master of Ballantrae, abandons his ancestral home to support the Scottish rebellion - leaving his younger brother Henry, who is faithful to the English crown, to inherit the title of Lord Durrisdeer. But he is to return years later, embittered by battles and a savage life of piracy on the high seas, to demand his inheritance. Turning the people against the Lord, he begins a savage feud with his brother that will lead the pair from the Scottish Highlands to the American Wilderness. Satanic and seductive, the Master was regarded by Stevenson as 'all I know of the devil'; his darkly manipulative schemes dominate this subtle and compelling tragedy.
This edition takes as its text the Edinburgh Edition of the novel, the last approved by the author. The introduction considers the novel's inspiration and its place as one of Stevenson's greatest studies in cruelty.

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
Mark Robarts is a clergyman with ambitions beyond his small country parish of Framley. In a naive attempt to mix in influential circles, he agrees to guarantee a bill for a large sum of money for the disreputable local Member of Parliament, while being helped in his career in the Church by the same hand. But the unscrupulous politician reneges on his financial obligations, and Mark must face the consequences this debt may bring to his family. One of Trollope's most enduringly popular novels since it appeared in 1860, Framley Parsonage is an evocative depiction of country life in nineteenth-century England, told with great compassion and acute insight into human nature.
