Independent and spirited Bathsheba Everdene has come to Weatherbury to take up her position as a farmer on the largest estate in the area. Her bold presence draws three very different suitors: the gentleman-farmer Boldwood, soldier-seducer Sergeant Troy and the devoted shepherd Gabriel Oak. Each, in contrasting ways, unsettles her decisions and complicates her life, and tragedy ensues, threatening the stability of the whole community. The first of his works set in Wessex, Hardy's novel of swiftpassion and slow courtship is imbued with his evocative descriptions of rural life and landscapes, and with unflinching honesty about sexual relationships.

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
George Orwell's masterwork, now in the Penguin Clothbound Classics series with a cover designed by Coralie Bickford-Smith
One of the BBC's '100 Novels that Shaped the World'
'Who controls the past controls the future: who controls the present controls the past'
Hidden away in the Record Department of the sprawling Ministry of Truth, Winston Smith skilfully rewrites the past to suit the needs of the Party. Yet he inwardly rebels against the totalitarian world he lives in, which demands absolute obedience and controls him through the all-seeing telescreens and the watchful eye of Big Brother, symbolic head of the Party. In his longing for truth and liberty, Smith begins a secret love affair with a fellow-worker Julia, but soon discovers the true price of freedom is betrayal.
George Orwell's dystopian masterpiece, Nineteen Eighty-Four is perhaps the most pervasively influential book of the twentieth century.

Beautiful, clever, rich - and single - Emma Woodhouse is perfectly content with her life and sees no need for either love or marriage. Nothing, however, delights her more than interfering in the romantic lives of others. But when she ignores the warnings of her good friend Mr Knightley and attempts to arrange a suitable match for her protegee Harriet Smith, her carefully laid plans soon unravel and have consequences that she never expected. With its imperfect but charming heroine and its witty and subtle exploration of relationships, Emma is often seen as Jane Austen's most flawless work.

Stevenson's first full-length work of fiction brought him immediate fame and continues to captivate readers of all ages.

Part of Penguin's beautiful hardback Clothbound Classics series, designed by the award-winning Coralie Bickford-Smith, these delectable and collectible editions are bound in high-quality colourful, tactile cloth with foil stamped into the design. After reading Christmas Carol, the notoriously reculsive Thomas Carlyle was "seized with a perfect convulsion of hospitality" and threw not one but two Christmas dinner parties. The impact of the story may not always have been so dramatic but, along with Dickens other Christmas writings, it has had a lasting and significant influence upon our ideas about the Christmas spirit, and about the season as a time for celebration, charity, and memory.

When Elizabeth Bennet first meets eligible bachelor Fitzwilliam Darcy, she thinks him arrogant and conceited; he is indifferent to her good looks and lively mind. When she later discovers that Darcy has involved himself in the troubled relationship between his friend Bingley and her beloved sister Jane, she is determined to dislike him more than ever. In the sparkling comedy of manners that follows, Jane Austen shows the folly of judging by first impressions and superbly evokes the friendships,gossip and snobberies of provincial middle-class life.

At twenty-seven, Anne Elliot is no longer young and has few romantic prospects. Eight years earlier, she had been persuaded by her friend Lady Russell to break off her engagement to Frederick Wentworth, a handsome naval captain with neither fortune nor rank. What happens when they encounter each other again is movingly told in Jane Austen's last completed novel. Set in the fashionable societies of Lyme Regis and Bath, Persuasion is a brilliant satire of vanity and pretension, but, above all,it is a love story tinged with the heartache of missed opportunities.

Joseph And His Brothers (Everyman)

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
Thomas Mann regarded his monumental retelling of the biblical story of Joseph as his magnum opus. He conceived of the four parts-The Stories of Jacob, Young Joseph, Joseph in Egypt, and Joseph the Provider-as a unified narrative, a "mythological novel" of Joseph's fall into slavery and his rise to be lord over Egypt. Deploying lavish, persuasive detail, Mann conjures for us the world of patriarchs and pharaohs, the ancient civilizations of Egypt, Mesopotamia, and Palestine, and the universal force of human love in all its beauty, desperation, absurdity, and pain. The result is a brilliant amalgam of humor, emotion, psychological insight, and epic grandeur.
Now the award-winning translator John E. Woods gives us a definitive new English version of Joseph and His Brothers that is worthy of Mann's achievement, revealing the novel's exuberant polyphony of ancient and modern voices, a rich music that is by turns elegant, coarse, and sublime.

Любовные похождения шевалье де Фобласа (Ладомир)

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
Настоящее издание впервые представляет на русском языке полный перевод знаменитого романа Жан-Батиста Луве де Кувре (1760-1797) "Любовные похождения шевалье де Фобласа" (1787-1790), оставившего значительный след как в мировой, так и в русской классической литературе.
Это лучшее произведение Луве де Кувре, вобравшее в себя дух литературы XVIII века и предвосхитившее появление идеалов и ценностей, характерных уже для века XIX; автор отдает дань аристократической галантной культуре в обеих ее ипостасях: возвышенной и либертинской. Роман отмечен яркой театральностью: действие развивается стремительно, как в классической комедии, а быстрая смена картин расцвечена остроумной болтовней либо переживаниями героя, пытающегося оправдать свое непостоянство. Субретка, обманутый муж, доктор-шарлатан, верный слуга, друт-наперсник, мудрый отец, злодейка проходят перед читателем в вихре взбаламученных чувств, случайных встреч, переодеваний, вражеских козней, разлук и обретений.

In Herman Melville's Moby-Dick, Captain Ahab is an eerily compelling madman who focuses his distilled hatred and suffering (and that of generations before him) into the pursuit of a creature as vast, dangerous and unknowable as the sea itself. More than just a novel of adventure, this is a haunting social commentary populated with some of the most enduring characters in literature. Written with wonderfully redemptive humour, Moby Dick is a profound and timeless inquiry into character, faith and the nature of perception.

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
Роман "Сибилла, или Две нации" увидел свет в 1845 году. Это был зрелый труд уже состоявшегося автора: злободневный, острый, интересный; в литературной среде он выстрелил подобно фейерверку и быстро стал достоянием английского читателя. Книга не утратила популярность и тогда, когда социально-политическая напряженность в Англии начала спадать, и наступила эпоха викторианского благоденствия. Роман был переведен на европейские языки. В России же "Сибиллой" интересовались в основном историки, литературоведы и биографы Дизраэли.
Что же такое "Сибилла" для современного русского читателя?
Во-первых, "Сибилла" - это связующее звено. Тугая нить, проходящая через восемь столетий: битва при Гастингсе и Реформация Генриха VTTI, Вильгельм Завоеватель и королева Виктория, разрушенные монастыри и древние замки гармонично обитают под одним переплетом. Автор связывает воедино политический контекст, историческую хронику и перипетии реальной жизни. Он открывает читателю самые р ...

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
This ribald, high-spirited novel, whose author was described by Diderot as 'the Rabelais of the English', provoked literary scandal when it was first published in 1760. With its ingenious structure and its exuberant pretence of being an autobiography, Tristram Shandy fascinates like a verbal game of chess. Milan Kundera has said that it is the eighteenth-century novel he loves best.

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
In the five novels by Ireland's greatest comic writer we can explore the full range of his invention, from the multi-layered madness of At Swim-Two Birds to the piercing realism of The Hard Life and the surreal logic of The Third Policeman. This is a world where bicycles listen to conversations, inventors search for methods of 'diluting' water, and characters play truant while novelists sleep; a world where spiteful fairies wreak havoc and heroes from legend blunder into suburban sitting-rooms. This is recognizably the Ireland of Joyce and Beckett - rowdy, high-spirited, by turns sensual and cerebral - transformed by O'Brien's unique vision.
