ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
Гринландия - страна, созданная фантазий замечательного русского писателя Александра Грина. Впервые в одной книге собраны наиболее известные произведения о жителях этой загадочной сказочной страны. Гринландия - полуостров, почти все города которого являются морскими портами. Там можно увидеть автомобиль и кинематограф, встретить девушку Ассоль и, конечно, пуститься в плавание на парусном корабле. Гринландией называют синтетический мир прошлого... Мир, или миф будущего...
Писатель Юрий Олеша с некоторой долей зависти говорил о Грине: "Он придумывает концепции, которые могли бы быть придуманы народом. Это человек, придумывающий самое удивительное, нежное и простое, что есть в литературе, - сказки".

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
In June 1862, Dostoevsky left Petersburg on his first excursion to Western Europe. Ostensibly making the trip to consult Western specialists about his epilepsy, he also wished to see firsthand the source of the Western ideas he believed were corrupting Russia. Over the course of his journey he visited a number of major cities, including Berlin, Paris, London, Florence, Milan, and Vienna. His impressions on what he saw, "Winter Notes on Summer Impressions", were first published in the February 1863 issue of Vremya (Time), the periodical he edited.

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
On a train journey, Pozdnyshev tells his story to a stranger: how his relationship with his wife gradually deteriorated from one of love and passion to jealousy and resentfulness, culminating in a mad act of desperation while she practised Beethoven's Kreutzer Sonata with her violin teacher.
An uncompromising examination of lust, suspicion and infidelity which was once forbidden by censors in Russia and banned in the US due to its shocking content, Tolstoy's controversial novella - here presented in a new translation, along with 'The Prisoner of the Caucasus', 'Master and Man' and 'After the Ball' - is now considered one of the masterpieces of Tolstoy's late period.

Diaboliad and Other Stories (Alma Books)

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
In Bulgakov's 'Diaboliad', the modest and unassuming office clerk Korotkov is summarily sacked for a trifling error from his job at the Main Central Depot of Match Materials and tries to seek out his newly assigned superior, responsible for his dismissal. His quest through the labyrinth of Soviet bureaucracy takes on the increasingly surreal dimensions of a nightmare.
This early satirical story, reminiscent of Gogol and Dostoevsky, was first published in 1924 and incurred the wrath of pro-Soviet critics. Along with the three other stories in this volume, which also explore the themes of the absurd and bizarre, it provides a fascinating glimpse into the artistic development of the author of The Master and Margarita.
Contains 'Diaboliad', 'No.13 - The Elpit Workers' Commune Building', 'A Chinese Tale', 'The Adventures of Chichikov'.

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
История развития литературы - понятие куда более обширное, чем можно предположить, и куда более сложное, чем может вообразить студент-первокурсник филологического факультета. Неизменно всякий выбор "лучших книг" и "обязательных к прочтению" писателей сопровождается беспощадным отсечением жемчужин мысли от одобренной нормы и "золотого стандарта". За бортом остается множество гениев, признанных и непризнанных, и шедевров мировой литературы. Книги серии "World Classics Books" - попытка расширить устоявшееся в умах понятие классических книг и обязательных для образованного человека авторов, предложив читателю произведения, о которых он либо совсем не слышал, либо знаком очень издалека. Однако представленные в серии труды - в некотором роде веховые этапы на сложном пути развития мировой литературы, без которых трудно составить представления о различных жанрах, литературных школах и целых эпохах развития мировой культуры.
