ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
Painstakingly restored from Tolkien's manuscripts and presented for the first time as a fully continuous and standalone story, the epic tale of The Children of Hurin will reunite fans of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings with Elves and Men, dragons and Dwarves, eagles and Orcs, and the rich landscape and characters unique to Tolkien.
There are tales of Middle-earth from times long before The Lord of the Rings, and the story told in this book is set in the great country that lay beyond the Grey Havens in the West: lands where Treebeard once walked, but which were drowned in the great cataclysm that ended the First Age of the World.
In that remote time Morgoth, the first Dark Lord, dwelt in the vast fortress of Angband, the Hells of Iron, in the North; and the tragedy of Turin and his sister Nienor unfolded within the shadow of the fear of Angband and the war waged by Morgoth against the lands and secret cities of the Elves.
Their brief and passionate lives were dominate ...

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
"Сравнительные жизнеописания" - это биографии великих героев античности в изложении древнегреческого писателя Плутарха (ок. 45-ок. 127), своеобразная величественная "портретная галерея" знаменитых греков и римлян.
До Плутарха историки Греции и Рима, составляя биографию исторического деятеля, стремились просто хронологически изложить основные события его жизни. Плутарху удалось избежать нагромождения бессвязных историй, сделав акцент на понимании образа мыслей и характера человека.
"Сравнительные жизнеописания" Плутарха имеют огромное значение для изучения античной истории Греции и Рима, так как многие произведения писателей, из которых он почерпнул сведения, не дошли до нас, и его сочинения являются единственной информацией о многих исторических событиях, их участниках и свидетелях.

Brave New World (Everyman)

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
Not so far into the future, the world has become a single supranational state, ruled by a council of World Controllers. Consumerism has replaced religion, science has eliminated illness and ageing; the happiness of all is ensured by genetic engineering, brainwashing, recreational sex and tranquilizing drugs. But Bernard Marx feels alienated from a society in which 'everybody belings to everybody else' and begins to show alarming signs of individualism. When he plucks a Shakespeare-reasing 'Savage' from a South American reservation and brings him back to Lodnon, two incompatible views of the world come into conflict, with dramatic results.
First published in 1932, Huxley's bleak dystiouan novel explores the very real dangers of social and technological progress, questions the nature of freedom and uncovers the dark side of mankind's seemingly insationable appetite for amusement.

All Quiet on the Western Front (Everyman)

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
In 1914 Paul Baumer and his classmates are marched to the local recruiting office by a sentimentally patriotic form-master. On a calm October day in 1918, only a few weeks before the Armistice, Paul will be the last of them to be killed. In All Quiet on the Western Fronthe tells their story.
A few years after it was published in 1929 the Nazis would denounce and publicly burn Remarque'snovel for insulting the heroic German army - in other words, for 'telling it like it was' for the common soldier on the front line where any notions of glory and national destiny were soon blasted away by the dehumanizing horror of modern warfare.
Remarque has an extraordinary power of describing fear: the appalling tension of being holed up in a dugout under heavy bombardment; the animal instinct to kill or be killed which takes over during hand-to-hand combat. He also has an eye for the grimly comic: the consignment of coffins Paul and his friends pass as they make their way up the line for ...

Love in a Cold Climate. The Pursuit of Love (Everyman)
скидки на товар нигде нет ;( это обычная* цена - 4971.00 руб.

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
Nancy Mitford modelled the characters in her best-known novels on her own unconventional (and at the time of writing, notorious) family. We are introduced to the Radletts through the eyes of their cousin, Fanny ('the Bolter's girl'), on one of her frequent visits to their country estate: Uncle Matthew the blustering patriarch, owner of that bloodied entrenching tool above the fireplace, who hunts his children with bloodhounds; vague Aunt Sadie, and six children recklessly eager to grow up.
The Pursuit of Love is the story of Linda, the most beautiful and wayward of the Radlett daughters, who falls first for a stuffy Tory politician, then an ardent Communist (whom she follows to the Spanish Civil War), and finally a very wicked and irresistibly charming French duke.
Love in a Cold Climate, again related by Fanny, focuses on Polly Hampton, long groomed for the perfect marriage by her fearsome mother, Lady Montdore, but secretly determined to pursue her own course.

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
This generous collection of fifty-two stories selected from across her prolific career by the author, is preceded by a preface in which she discusses the sources of her art.
With irony and an unfailing eye for the telling detail, Gallant weaves stories of spare complexity, often pushing the boundaries of the form in boldly unconventional directions. The settings in the Collected Stories range from Paris to Berlin to Switzerland, from the Riviera to the Cote d'Azur, and her characters are almost all exiles of one sort or another, as she herself was the most of her expatriate life.
The wit and precision of her prose, combined with her expansive view of humanity, provide a rare and deep reading pleasure. With breathtaking control and compression, Gallant delivers a whole life, a whole world, in each story.

David Copperfield (Everyman)

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
David Copperfield – Dickens’s most celebrated novel, and the author’s own favourite – is the classic account of one boy growing up in a world which is by turns magical, fearful and grimly realistic. In a book which is part fairy tale, part thinly-veiled autobiography, Dickens transmutes his life-experience into a brilliant series of comic and sentimental adventures in the spirit of the great eighteenth-century novelists he so much admired. Few readers can fail to be touched by David’s fate, and fewer still to be delighted by his story. This edition reprints the original Everyman preface by G. K. Chesterton and includes thirty-nine illustrations by ‘Phiz’.

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.

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
Ни одна книга в европейской литературе последних веков не может даже приблизиться по популярности к роману Брэма (Абрахама) Стокера (1847-1912) "Дракула" (1897), главный герой которого вырвался далеко за рамки не только самого романа, но и литературы в целом, и превратился в один из символов минувшего столетия и, даже шире, - всей современности. На основе европейских преданий и легенд, оккультизма и эзотерики викторианской эпохи Стокеру, продолжателю "готической" линии М. Шелли и Ш. Ле Фаню, Р.-Л. Стивенсона и О. Уайлда, удалось создать свой необычайно красивый неоготический мир, простирающийся от средних веков до наших дней, от загадочной Трансильвании до уютного Лондона. А главное - предложить человечеству нового мифического героя. Героя на все времена.
Т.Н. Красавченко, переводчик "Дракулы", специально для данного издания подготовила новую, более полную и точную, редакцию перевода полюбившегося читателю романа.

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
"Крошка Цахес, по прозванию Циннобер" - одно из самых значительных сказочных созданий великого немецкого писателя Э. Т. А. Гофмана. В ней со свойственной автору иронией отражены реальные приметы его эпохи: уродство абсолютизма, тупое верноподданничество обывателей, торжествующее беззаконие и сервильная роль официальной науки. Заглавный герой сказки гротескно нелеп и смешон, уродлив и глуп. Тем не менее благодаря фее Розабельверде он наделен удивительным свойством: все хорошее и доброе, что творится в его присутствии, приписывается ему. Почти все склоняются перед ничтожеством, и лишь благодаря волшебнику Просперу Альпанусу юный Бальтазар одерживает над ним верх и рассеивает чары.

'I had sent my heroine straight down a rabbit-hole without the least idea what was to happen afterwards,' wrote Dodgson, describing how Alice was conjured up one 'golden afternoon' in 1862 to entertain his child-friend Alice Liddell. In the magical world of Wonderland and the back-to-front Looking-Glass kingdom, order is turned upside-down: a baby turns into a pig; time is abandoned at a tea-party; and a chaotic game of chess makes a 7-year-old a Queen.

In William Thackeray's Vanity Fair, no one is better equipped in the struggle for wealth and worldly success than the alluring and ruthless Becky Sharp, who defies her impoverished background to clamber up the class ladder. Her sentimental companion Amelia, however, longs only for caddish soldier George. As the two heroines make their way through the tawdry glamour of Regency society, battles - military and domestic - are fought, fortunes made and lost. The one steadfast and honourable figure in this corrupt world is Dobbin with his devotion to Amelia, bringing pathos and depth to Thackeray's gloriously satirical epic of love and social adventure.
