ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
Clare Kendry has severed all ties to her past. Elegant, fair-skinned and ambitious, she is married to a white man who is unaware of her African-American heritage. When she renews her acquaintance with her childhood friend Irene, who has not hidden her origins, both women are forced to reassess their marriages, the lies they have told - and to confront the secret fears they have buried within themselves. Nella Larsen's intense, taut and psychologically nuanced portrayal of lives and identities dangerously colliding established her as a leading writer of America's Harlem Renaissance.

Read this stunning Vintage Classics edition of the original story of alien invasion from the father of science fiction, H.G. Wells.
No one would have believed in the last years of the nineteenth century that this world was being watched keenly and closely by intelligences greater than man's; that as men busied themselves about their various concerns they were scrutinised and studied. Yet across the gulf of space, intellects vast and cool and unsympathetic regarded this earth with envious eyes, and slowly and surely drew their plans against us.
Then, late one night, in the middle of the English countryside, they landed.

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
James Fenimore Cooper was a prolific and popular American writer of the first half of the 19th century. His historical romances of frontier and Indian life in the early American days created a unique form of American literature. The fourth work chronologically in Cooper's Leatherstocking Tales, The Pioneers is a historical novel that follows the later life of Natty Bumppo. Already introduced by the previous novels as the archetypal American frontiersman and friend to Indians, Natty now struggles with hunting and new societal laws that restrict the freedom of the wilderness he has always known. Just as accessible and enjoyable for today's modern readers as it would have been when first published, the novel is one of the great works of American literature and continues to be widely read throughout the world.

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
В книге впервые публикуется центральное произведение художника и поэта Павла Яковлевича Зальцмана (1912-1985) - незаконченный роман "Щенки", дающий поразительную по своей силе и убедительности панораму эпохи Гражданской войны и совмещающий в себе черты литературной фантасмагории, мистики, авангардного эксперимента и реалистической экспрессии. Рассказы 1940-50-х гг. и повесть "Memento" позволяют взглянуть на творчество Зальцмана под другим углом и понять, почему открытие этого автора "заставляет в известной мере перестраивать всю историю русской литературы XX века"

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.
