ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
Enter the world of Gormenghast...the vast crumbling castle to which the seventy-seventh Earl, Titus Groan, is Lord and heir. Gothic labyrinth of roofs and turrets, cloisters and corridors, stairwells and dungeons, it is also the cobwebbed kingdom of Byzantine government and age-old rituals, a world primed to implode beneath the weight of centuries of intrigue, treachery, manipulation and murder.
Gormenghast is more than a sequel to Titus Groan - it is an enrichment and deepening of that book.The fertility of incident, character and rich atmosphere combine in a tour de force that ranks as one of the twentieth century's most remarkable feats of imaginative writing.

And 'Laura' expresses the hope of revenge via reincarnation. For punchlines, twists, satire and pure mirth, Saki's stories are second-to-none.

Olinger Stories (Everyman)

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
These autobiographical stories about growing up in small-town Pennsylvania are among John Updike’s best, and were the closest to his heart.
Selected by the author from his first eight years of work for The New Yorker, these tales set in the fictional town of Olinger were first gathered in one volume in 1964, in a paperback edition that has long been out of print. They are brought together again now - for the first time ever in hardcover - in a fiftieth-anniversary edition.
The eleven stories include ‘Pigeon Feathers’ in which a farm boy’s innocent faith is tested by the seeming faithlessness of parents and clergy; ‘The Happiest I’ve Been’, a timeless tale of leaving home and taking the first steps towards adulthood; and ‘Packed Dirt, Churchgoing, A Dying Cat, A Traded Car’, a reverie on the everyday that is, magically, as detailed and eventful as any novel. Updike considered this his signature collection, one that communicated his freshest impressions of life in Berks County, Pennsylvania, in the 1930s and

Sons and Lovers is a highly autobiographical and compelling portrayal of childhood, adolescence, and the price of family bonds.

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
Described as 'a masterpiece' by Stefan Zweig, this extraordinary novel of love, war, ghosts and memory features an introduction by Patti Smith
Baron Bagge, a cavalry officer in the Carpathian Mountains during the First World War, receives orders from his unhinged commander to ride into Russian machine guns. But instead of meeting certain death, he and his brigade pass, unscathed, into a peaceful, otherworldly country where festivities are in full swing. There he meets Charlotte Szent-Kiraly, and finds himself entangled in a strange love - a love harrowed at its edges by the threat of the enemy, and intimations from his fellow officers about the nature of his survival...
Baron Bagge - Alexander Lernet-Holenia's masterpiece - glimmers with a wintry, exquisite light. A story of duty and desire, courage and stupidity, it is a waking dream of a novel; haunting in every sense. This edition includes an exchange between Lernet-Holenia and Stefan Zweig, one of the novella' ...

Sonnets (Vintage books)

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
Love 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 appear to be written to a young man, some to a woman. And although the poems are full of mystery - why did Shakespeare write them, and to whom? - each one speaks to us from across the centuries of love, hate and the intensity of being alive.

Written and published in journals during the Second World War, these seventeen short stories distil the atmosphere, themes and psychological intensity that make Simenon's famous detective series so compelling.

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
"The Story of the Stone" (c. 1760), also known as "The Dream of the Red Chamber", is one of the greatest novels of Chinese literature. The fifth part of Cao Xueqin's magnificent saga, "The Dreamer Awakes", was carefully edited and completed by Gao E some decades later. It continues the story of the changing fortunes of the Jia dynasty, focussing on Bao-yu, now married to Bao-chai, after the tragic death of his beloved Dai-yu. Against such worldly elements as death, financial ruin, marriage, decadence and corruption, his karmic journey unfolds. Like a sleepwalker through life, Bao-yu is finally awakened by a vision, which reveals to him that life itself is merely a dream, 'as moonlight mirrored in the water'.

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
The Story of the Stone (c. 1760), also known by the title of The Dream of the Red Chamber, is the great novel of manners in Chinese literature.
Divided into five volumes, of which The Warning Voice is the third, it charts the glory and decline of the illustrious Jia family (a story which closely accords with the fortunes of the author's own family). The two main characters, Bao-yu and Dai-yu, are set against a rich tapestry of humour, realistic detail and delicate poetry, which accurately reflects the ritualized hurly-burly of Chinese family life. But over and above the novel hangs the constant reminder that there is another plane of existence - a theme which affirms the Buddhist belief in a supernatural scheme of things.

Critique of Pure Reason (Penguin)

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
Kant's profound and challenging investigation into the nature of human reason is the central text of modern philosophy
In his landmark work Kant argues that reason is the seat of certain concepts that precede experience and make it possible, but we are not therefore entitled to draw conclusions about the natural world from these concepts. The Critique of Pure Reason brings together two opposing schools of philosophy: rationalism, which grounds all our knowledge in reason, and empiricism, which traces all our knowledge to experience. Kant's transcendental idealism indicates a third way that goes far beyond these alternatives.

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
Now a classic feminist text, Jane Eyre was the first of Charlotte Bronte’s novels to be published, in 1847. Like her sister Emily’s Wuthering Heights, which it matches in power, Charlotte’s story is a variation on the theme of the eternal triangle. It is also that rare thing, a completely personal book.

Les Miserables (BBC books)

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
Where there is love, there is hope.
Accompanying a 6-part series on BBC One from the makers of War and Peace, and starring Dominic West, Lily Collins, David Oyelowo and Olivia Coleman, this edition of Les Miserables also has a foreword from screenwriter Andrew Davies (War and Peace, Pride and Prejudice).
Les Miserables is Victor Hugo's classic tale of injustice, heroism and love following the fortunes of Jean Valjean, an escaped convict determined to put his criminal past behind him. Those attempts are constantly put under threat: by his own conscience, and by the relentless investigations of the dogged policeman Javert. A compelling and compassionate view of the victims of early nineteenth-century French society, this is a novel on an epic scale, moving from the Battle of Waterloo to the the June rebellion of 1832. With striking intensity and relevance to us today, it is testimony to the struggles of France's underclass.

Independent People (Everyman)

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
Set in the early twentieth century, Independent People, by Nobel Prize-winning author Halldor Laxness, recalls both Iceland's medieval epics and such classics as Sigrid Undset's Kristin Lavransdatter. If Bjartur of Summerhouses, the book's protagonist, is an ordinary sheep farmer, his flinty determination to achieve independence is genuinely heroic and, at the same time, terrifying and bleakly comic. Having spent eighteen years in humiliating servitude, Bjartur wants nothing more than to raise his flocks unbeholden to any man. But Bjartur's spirited daughter wants to live unbeholden to him. What ensues is a battle of wills that is by turns harsh and touching, elemental in its emotional intensity and intimate in its homely detail. Vast in scope and deeply rewarding, Independent People is a masterpiece.

Забавы придворных (Наука)

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
Вальтер Мап (1130/1135—1209/1210) — английский священнослужитель и писатель, входил в окружение короля Англии Генриха II Плантагенета, чей двор во второй половине XII века был важным культурным и литературным центром Западной Европы.
Мап играл значимую роль в интеллектуальной среде английского королевства и уже при жизни пользовался среди современников репутацией остроумца. Уроженец Уэльса, он принимал участие в зарождении легенды о короле Артуре. Главное сочинение Вальтера Мапа «Забавы придворных» — причудливое переплетение придворных сплетен, фольклорных историй и рассказов — по праву делает его одной из главных фигур культурного Ренессанса XII века.
В подготовке издания принимали участие медиевисты Шмараков Роман Львович, доктор филологических наук, доцент Департамента филологии НИУ ВШЭ (петербургский кампус); Воскобойников Олег Сергеевич, доктор исторических наук, доктор Высшей школы социальных наук (Париж), профессор Школы исторических наук факультета гуманитарных наук НИУ ВШЭ, старший научный сотрудник

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
"Мои желание - прежде всего" - таков был девиз Фрэнка Алджерона Каупервуда и главного героя второй книги "Титан" из "Трилогии желаний" американского писателя Теодора Драйзера, опубликованной в 1912 году. Роман повествует о жизни талантливого финансиста в Филадельфии, сыгравшего значительную роль в разработке системы общественного транспорта в Чикаго и Лондоне. С самого начала книги Драйзер показывает, как окружающая финансово-экономическая среда с самого детства формирует личность коммерсанта и биржевого дилера, для которого все средства хороши при достижении власти и богатства. В книге рассказывается как частная жизнь и бизнес не только тесно переплетаются между собой, но и оказывают влияние друг на друга. С одной стороны Фрэнк и его женщины, его любовь к живописи и искусству и попытки быть принятым в высшем обществе, и, с другой стороны, его бизнес.
