Vanity Fair (Everyman)
скидки на товар нигде нет ;( это обычная* цена - 5596.00 руб.

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
Set in the years before and after Waterloo, Vanity Fair tells the parallel stories of two schoolfriends: the quiet, long-suffering Amelia and the brilliant, scheming Becky Sharp. With a fine eye for the main chance, Becky almost succeeds in climbing the highest pinnacles of high society, until brought down by a combination of bad luck and over-ambition. With a superb cast of secondary characters - the old roue, the dull banker, the patient lover, the fat buffoon - the novel is as brilliant and brutal as a cartoon by Rowlandson or Gillray.

The Pickwick Papers (Everyman)

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
When young Charles Dickens was commissioned to write the text for a series of sporting illustrations in 1836, no one could have suspected that this journeyman task was to turn in to one of the great comic novels in English literature. After the premature death of the original illustrator, Dickens took charge of the project, which was published in monthly parts. The result is a brilliant panorama of English life in the 1830s, a cornucopia of stories and vignettes featuring dozens of vividly drawn characters. Chief among them are Mr Pickwick himself, a later day Don Quixote travelling about the country righting wrongs; and his Sancho Panza, Sam Weller, whose pithy sayings and bizarre anecdotes immediately became and remained part of national mythology. With The Pickwick Papers Dickens established himself at a single stroke as a major creative artist, revealing the depth of his human sympathies, the breadth of his interests and his extraordinary linguistic virtuosity. His first novel, published when he was 25, i ...

The Best of Wodehouse. An Anthology (Everyman)
скидки на товар нигде нет ;( это обычная* цена - 5596.00 руб.
|
ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
P. G. Wodehouse was, by common consent, the most brilliant writer of English comedy in the twentieth century, equally celebrated on both sides of the Atlantic. He achieved the unusual distinction of combining the widest possible popularity with the highest literary standards, attracting both the devotion of readers and the respect of his peers from Hilaire Belloc to Graham Greene. Several of his characters have already entered popular mythology. This anthology includes two novels, fourteen short stories and extracts from Wodehouse’s autobiography. The Code of the Woosters was written in 1938, Uncle Fred in the Springtime in 1939, when Wodehouse was at the height of his powers. The short stories feature all Wodehouse’s most famous creations – Jeeves and Wooster, Ukridge, Bingo Little, Mr Mulliner, the Earls of Emsworth and Ickenham. Finally, extracts from Over Seventy, a memoir as amusing and beautifully written as the novels, offer an insight into the attitudes and working habits of a very private man.

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
Перед читателем — последний роман великого Мигеля де Сервантеса, увидевший свет после обеих частей «Дон Кихота» и невольно оказавшийся в его тени, хотя совершенно незаслуженно. Этот роман Сервантес писал на смертном одре — уже «занося ногу в стремя», — и постарался передать в нем самое важное, то, к чему шел, в раздумьях и размышлениях, всю свою жизнь. Так родилось самое насыщенное смыслами, самое глубокое сочинение испанского гения, представляющее собой квинтэссенцию всех его взглядов.
«Странствия Персилеса и Сихизмунды» — не просто приключенческий или паломнический роман, это сказание о вечном Пути, главная мысль которого: всякий человек — скиталец на свете, влачащий свою жизнь под мудрым Провидением. Читатель следует за героями — отважным принцем Периандром-Персилесом и его возлюбленной — Ауристелой, Путеводной Звездой, выводящей героев из тьмы варварства, мрака отчаяния — к надежде, утешению и Свету. В путешествии по морям и суше герои посещают края несказанной красы; в пути их ждут судьбоносные в ...

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
As with her other novels, Sense and Sensibility concerns the question of suitable romantic partnerships and, ultimately, marriage.
The novel first appeared in print in 1813, after Austen had proven herself something of a commercial success with Sense and Sensibility (1811), her first published novel.
Pride and Prejudice is perhaps the most comic of Austen's novels.

Through the eyes of Scout and Jem Finch, Lee explores the issues of race and class in the Deep South of the 1930s with compassion and humour.

The H.P.Lovecraft Collection. Classic Tales of Cosmic Horror (Arcturus)

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
"If you look at the way critics describe Lovecraft... they often say he's purple, overwritten, overblown, verbose, but
it's un-put-downable. There's something about that kind of hallucinatorily intense purple prose which completely breaches all rules of'good writing', but is somehow utterly compulsive and affecting."
- China Mieville, Science Fiction Studies.
Since his stories began to appear in magazines such as Weird Tales in the 1920s and 30s, H. P. Lovecraft and his vivid
imagination have been entertaining generations of readers with tales that both drew upon and pushed the boundaries of
the genres of horror and science fiction.
Lovecraft's influence has been immense: countless writers - from Stephen King to Neil Gaiman - and filmmakers such
as Guillermo del Того have acknowledged the way in which Lovecraft has inspired them.
Filled with suspense, amazing creatures and sensationally scary scenarios, this chronological ...

The Nature Of Middle-Earth (Harpercollins)
скидки на товар нигде нет ;( это обычная* цена - 5823.00 руб.
|
ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
First ever publication of J.R.R. Tolkien's final writings on Middle-earth, covering a wide range of subjects and perfect for those who have read and enjoyed The Silmarillion, The Lord of the Rings, Unfinished Tales, and The History of Middle-earth, and want to learn more about Tolkien's magnificent world.
It is well known that J.R.R. Tolkien published The Hobbit in 1937 and The Lord of the Rings in 1954-5. What may be less known is that he continued to write about Middle-earth in the decades that followed, right up until the years before his death in 1973.
For him, Middle-earth was part of an entire world to be explored, and the writings in The Nature of Middle-earth reveal the journeys that he took as he sought to better understand his unique creation. From sweeping themes as complex and profound as the metaphysics of Elvish immortality and reincarnation, and the Powers of the Valar, to the more earth-bound subjects of the lands and beasts of Numenor, the geography of the Rivers and Beacon-hills

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
In the Tale of The Fall of Gondolin are two of the greatest powers in the world. There is Morgoth of the uttermost evil, unseen in this story but ruling over a vast military power from his fortress of Angband. Deeply opposed to Morgoth is Ulmo, second in might only to Manwe, chief of the Valar.
Central to this enmity of the gods is the city of Gondolin, beautiful but undiscoverable. It was built and peopled by Noldorin Elves who, when they dwelt in Valinor, the land of the gods, rebelled against their rule and fled to Middle-earth. Turgon King of Gondolin is hated and feared above all his enemies by Morgoth, who seeks in vain to discover the marvellously hidden city, while the gods in Valinor in heated debate largely refuse to intervene in support of Ulmo's desires and designs.
Into this world comes Tuor, cousin of Turin, the instrument of Ulmo's designs. Guided unseen by him Tuor sets out from the land of his birth on the fearful journey to Gondolin, and in one of the most arrest ...
