ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
Шарлотта Бронте с детства мечтала стать писательницей. Вместе с сестрами и братом она сочиняла истории о сказочных королевствах и воображаемых колониях в Африке. Дети английского викария грезили об удивительных мирах - их собственная жизнь мало напоминала сказку: бедность и отсутствие перспектив были повседневной реальностью. Вне семейных стен успехи Шарлотты не поощрялись - критики долго не замечали ее литературный талант. Но она решила писать вопреки всему. И создала роман о девушке, которая так же, как и она сама, бросила вызов обществу.
Джейн Эйр боролась с предрассудками, отстаивая свою любовь к мистеру Рочестеру: любовь гувернантки к аристократу в те годы не приветствовалась так же, как и карьера писательницы для женщины. Однако Шарлотта Бронте победила, как и Джейн Эйр, - отстояла свое право быть собой, раскрывать свои чувства и творить. Она доказала, что настоящий талант, как и истинная любовь, разбивают лед условностей и расцветают в самом недружелюбном мире. А бедная гувернантка может любить и быть

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
"Петр Первый" - не просто роман, это долгая, много раз переосмысленная и аукнувшаяся тема в собственной жизни Алексея Толстого (1882-1945). Как царь Петр был охвачен строительством новой России, так и А. Н. Толстой видел себя у начал нового государства ХХ века. Страна менялась на глазах писателя: он вернулся из эмиграции еще при Ленине и Троцком и стал свидетелем быстрого и жестокого идеологического слома. Но двигало писательским замыслом вовсе не стремление уподобить двух властителей - царя и генерального секретаря. Толстой был заворожен открывшейся ему далекой эпохой, увиденной им через подлинный язык времени. Этот язык оказался столь живым и ясным, что прошлое внезапно приблизилось и стало почти сегодняшним. Судьбы вымышленных героев романа, переплетенные с биографиями подлинных исторических фигур, позволили Толстому создать у читателя иллюзию присутствия при драматических событиях, а самому писателю помогли подмешать в толщу истории свои собственные горести и радости.

A new edition of Orwell's savage satire of the Soviet Revolution, introduced and annotated by his biographer, D.J. Taylor

The Richer, The Poorer (Virago)

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
The stories contained here are as American as jazz, and as wise and multifaceted as their writer. Dorothy West's metier is the unique crucible in which America places its black middle class, but her themes are universal: the daily misunderstandings between young and old, men and women, rich and poor that can lead to tragedy; and the ways in which bonds of family and community can bring us together, and tear us asunder.
Dorothy West's autobiographical essays explore the poles of her remarkable life - from growing up black and middle-class in Boston to her near-mythic trip to Moscow in 1933 with Langston Hughes and other Harlem Renaissance writers to life on her beloved Martha's Vineyard. They cohere into a beautiful and poignant memoir of a singular American life, a memoir that communicates with her short stories in a host of fertile ways. Taken as a whole, The Richer, The Poorer Is a triumphant celebration of the long life and work of one of America's genuine treasures.

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
Set on a bucolic Martha's Vineyard in the 1950s, THE WEDDING tells the story of life in the Oval, a proud, insular community made up of the best and brightest of the East Coast's black bourgeoisie. Within this inner circle of 'blue-vein society', we witness the prominent Coles family gather for the wedding of their loveliest daughter, Shelby, who could have chosen from 'a whole area of eligible men of the right colors and the right professions.' Instead, she has fallen in love with and is about to be married to Mead Wyler, a white jazz musician from New York. A shock wave breaks over the Oval as its longtime members grapple with the changing face of its community.
Not just the story of one wedding, but of many, this compelling story offers insights into issues of race, prejudice and identity while maintaining its firm belief in the compensatory power of love.
Through a delicate interweaving of past and present, North and South, black and white, The Wedd ...

When Lelia is found brutally murdered, both lovers are suspects - and each suspects the other.

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
A gripping novel that explores the shifting sands of moral values - is murder still murder when committed in a lawless place?
Howard Ingham, an American writer, is in Tunisia working on a screenplay, and feeling stranded. No one has written to him since he arrived - neither the film director who he is supposed to be meeting in Tunis, nor his lover in New York. The erratic mail eventually brings news of the director's suicide. For reasons obscure even to himself, Ingham decides to stay and work on a novel, but a series of events - a hushed-up murder and a vanished corpse - lures him inexorably into the deep, ambivalent shadows of the town; into deceit and away from conventional morality. Ultimately, what is in question is not justice or truth, but the state of his oddly quiet conscience.

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
Denham Dobie has been brought up in Andorra by her father, a retired clergyman. On his death, she is snatched from this reclusive life and thrown into the social whirl of London by her sophisticated relatives. Denham, however, provides a candid response to the niceties of 'civilised' behaviour. Crewe Train is Macaulay's wittiest social satire. The reactions of Denham to the manners and modes of the highbrow circle in which she finds herself provide a devastating - and very funny - social commentary as well as a moving story.
This bitingly funny, elegantly written comedy of manners is as absorbing and entertaining today as on the book's first publication in 1926.

Abandoned by the retreating Spanish army during the Peninsular War, the gun is an eighteen pounder bronze cannon, thirteen feet long, weighing three tons.
When a group of Spanish partisans come across it two years later they see in it a chance for victory against the French - but first they must haul it across the mountains with nothing but a handful of donkeys and half-starved oxen.
On its epic journey the cannon begins to gain almost mystical significance. For, with the gun, they are no longer a band of Spanish irregulars, they are an army able to take on the cream of Napoleon's troops...
