ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
В комплекте представлены книги Маркиза де Сада: "Преступления любви", "Злоключения добродетели" и "Философия в будуаре".
Каким является человек, живущий идеей абсолютной свободы? И какими становятся люди, не ограниченные нравственностью и законами?
Французский мыслитель, вольнодумец и скандальный писатель Маркиз де Сад (1740-1814) - человек не бездумно поддавшийся пороку, а осознанно подчинившийся своим первородным инстинктам и перенесший эту философию на страницы своих произведений.
Для писателя не существовало понятий "нельзя" и "неправильно". Всю свою жизнь он являлся сторонником учения, где разрешено все, что душе угодно, все человеческие пороки, которые возникают в сознании по щелчку пальцев. Удовольствия - вот ради чего стоит жить. В своих произведениях он перекладывает такой образ жизни и на персонажей. Они безнравственны, праздны и ни во что не ставят общепринятые правила хорошего тона. Большинство текстов написано этим классико ...

The Adventures Of Elizabeth In Rugen (Virago)

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
In 1901 the 'real' Elizabeth holidayed on the Baltic island of Rьgen with just her maid, a coachman, a carriage piled with luggage, and a woman friend. From such unpromising beginnings Elizabeth weaves a captivating farrago around her encounters. There's the snobbish bishop's wife and her personable, handsome son, a dressmaker and, astonishingly, a long-lost cousin - Charlotte - who is trying to evade the pursuit of her husband, the maddeningly genial old professor.
Here, with delightfully astringent humour, Elizabeth recounts the misadventures that befall her. And, as she immortalised her Pomeranian wilderness in the famous Elizabeth and Her German Garden, she now writes enticingly of this remote and attractive island.

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
Edith Wharton (1862-1937), the grande dame of American literature, was also a subtle and spirited critic of its society.
Twenty years earlier, Kate Clephane had exiled herself from husband, child and the rigidity of New York society because of her guilty elopement. Now, living quietly on the Rivera, she is overjoyed to be summoned home by her daughter, Anne. But back in the charmed circle, she finds post-war New York, though changed in many ways, still locked into petty and snobbish constrictions. This touching study of complex issues shows how Kate’s joy in being with Anne is soon threatened by the reappearance of the only man Kate had truly loved.

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
Hans Christian Andersen (1805-1875) was born in Odense, the son of a shoemaker. His early life was wretched, but he was adopted by a patron and became a short-story writer, novelist and playwright, though he remains best-known for his magical fairy tales which were published between 1835 and 1872. For 150 years his stories have been delighting both adults and children. Packed with a light-hearted whimsy combined with a mature wisdom they are as entrancing as ever. Here are all of Andersen's 154 tales, and among the favourites are The Red Shoes, The Mermaid, The Real Princess, The Emperor's New Clothes, The Tinder Box and of course The Ugly Duckling.

The Complete Stories of Sherlock Holmes (Wordsworth)

|
ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
It is more than a century since the ascetic, gaunt and enigmatic detective, Sherlock Holmes, made his first appearance in A Study in Scarlet. From 1891, beginning with The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, the now legendary and pioneering Strand Magazine began serialising Arthur Conan Doyle's matchless tales of detection, featuring the incomparable sleuth patiently assisted by his doggedly loyal and lovably pedantic friend and companion, Dr Watson. The stories are illustrated by the remarkable Sydney Paget from whom our images of Sherlock Holmes and his world derive and who first equipped Holmes with his famous deerstalker hat. The literary cult of Sherlock Holmes shows no sign of fading with time as each new generation comes to love and revere the penetrating mind and ruthless logic which were the undoing of so many Victorian master criminals.

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
Jacob Grimm (1785-1863) and his brother Wilhelm (1786-1859) were philologists and folklorists. The brothers rediscovered a host of fairy tales, telling of princes and princesses in their castles, witches in their towers and forests, of giants and dwarfs, of fabulous animals and dark deeds. Together with the well-known tales of Rapunzel, The Goose Girl, Sleeping Beauty, Hansel and Gretel and Snow White, there are the darker tales such as Death's Messengers which deserve to be better known, and which will appeal not only to all who are interested in the history of folklore, but also to all those who simply love good story-telling.

The Collected Works of Oscar Wilde (Wordsworth)
скидки на товар нигде нет ;( это обычная* цена - 3330.00 руб.

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
Wilde's works are suffused with his aestheticism, brilliant craftsmanship, legendary wit and, ultimately, his tragic muse. He wrote tender fairy stories for children employing all his grace, artistry and wit, of which the best-known is The Happy Prince. Counterpoints to this were his novel The Picture of Dorian Gray, which shocked and outraged many readers of his day, and his stories for adults which exhibited his fascination with the relations between serene art and decadent life. Wilde took London by storm with his plays, particularly his masterpiece The Importance of Being Earnest.
His essays - in particular De Profundis- and his Ballad of Reading Gaol, both written after his release from prison, strikingly break the bounds of his usual expressive range. His other essays and poems are all included in this comprehensive collection of the works of one of the most exciting writers of the late nineteenth century.

The Complete Novels of Jane Austen (Wordsworth)

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
Jane Austen is without question, one of England's most enduring and skilled novelists. With her wit, social precision, and unerring ability to create some of literature's most charismatic and believable heroines, she mesmerises her readers as much today as when her novels were first published.
Whether it is her sharp, ironic gaze at the Gothic genre invoked by the adventures of Catherine Morland in Northanger Abbey; the diffident and much put-upon Fanny Price struggling to cope with her emotions in Mansfield Park; her delightfully paced comedy of manners and the machinations of the sisters Elinor and Marianne in Sense and Sensibility; the quiet strength of Anne Elliot in Persuasion succeeding in a world designed to subjugate her very existence; and Emma - 'a heroine whom no one but myself will like' teased Austen - yet another irresistible character on fire with imagination and foresight. Indeed not unlike her renowned creator.
Jane Austen is as sure-footed in her steps throu ...

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
Настоящий подарок для всех любителей нестандартных детективных историй и приключений — девять самых ранних новелл про Арсена Люпена с акварельными ретро-иллюстрациями!
Арсен Люпен — загадочная фигура, неуловимый грабитель, который держит в страхе богатеев Франции. Его почерк узнаваем, потому что он всегда заметает следы и стирает свою личность, а каждый, кто говорит, что вот он, Арсен Люпен, — ошибается. Ведь каждое дело Арсена Люпена — будь то кража картин, невероятно дорогого украшения или даже редкой книги — это тщательно спланированный трюк, мистификация, фокус. Обманутся все, ведь чаще всего он скрывается под личиной того, кто у всех на виду: один из ничем не примечательных попутчиков или собеседников. Он появляется там, где его не может быть, и также неожиданно пропадает.
В книге — девять новелл, написанных Морисом Лебланом в самом начале XX века и представляющих собой первые приключения Арсена Люпена. Первая история «Арест Арсена Люпена» была опубликована в июле 1905 года в га ...

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
The complete novels of one of the greatest German writers of all time, collected together in one literary masterpiece.
Kafka's characters are victims of forces beyond their control, estranged and rootless citizens deceived by authoritarian power. Filled with claustrophobic description and existential profundity, Kafka has been compared to a literary Woody Allen.
In The Trial Joseph K is relentlessly hunted for a crime that remains nameless.
The Castle follows K in his ceaseless attempts to enter the castle and to belong somewhere.
In Amerika Karl Rossmann also finds himself isolated and confused when he is 'packed off to America by his parents'. Here, ordinary immigrants are also strange, and 'America' is never quite as real as it seems.

Gargantua and Pantagruel (Penguin)
скидки на товар нигде нет ;( это обычная* цена - 3346.00 руб.

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
The dazzling and exuberant moral stories of Rabelais (c. 1471-1553) expose human follies with their mischievous and often obscene humour, while intertwining the realistic with carnivalesque fantasy to make us look afresh at the world. Gargantua depicts a young giant, reduced to laughable insanity by an education at the hands of paternal ignorance, old crones and syphilitic professors, who is rescued and turned into a cultured Christian knight. And in Pantagruel and its three sequels, Rabelais parodied tall tales of chivalry and satirized the law, theology and academia to portray the bookish son of Gargantua who becomes a Renaissance Socrates, divinely guided in his wisdom, and his idiotic, self-loving companion Panurge.

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
Famous for his novels, Thomas Mann is more accessible through the shorter fictions which span his entire career. The most famous of these stories is one of the earliest. Death in Venice was made into the celebrated Visconti film, but all his mature preoccupations are present in this story: the need for a sense of meaning in existence, the relationship between life and art, the central role of sexual energy and the strange forms it can take, the place of death and disease, the importance of work, the individual's complex relations with his society and the dominant culture. These themes are developed in a series of brilliant stories, may of them very short and displaying the author's talent for macabre comedy.
