ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
Pillar of society and stern upholder of Victorian values, god-fearing Norfolk merchant John Barnard presides over a large and largely unhappy family. This is their story - his brandy-swilling wife, their hapless offspring and their changing fortunes - over the decades. Sylvia Townsend Warner's last novel, The Flint Anchor gloriously overturns our ideas of history, family and storytelling itself.

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
A preacher called Deke O'Malley's been selling false hope: the promise of a glorious new life in Africa for just $1,000 a family. But when thieves with machine guns steal the proceeds - and send one man's brain matter flying - the con is up. Now Grave Digger Jones and Coffin Ed mean to bring the good people of Harlem back their $87,000, however many corpses they have to climb over to get it.
Cotton Comes to Harlem is a non-stop ride, with violence, sex, double-crosses, and the two baddest detectives ever to wear a badge in Harlem.

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
The prize-winning translation of Miguel de Cervantes's mock-epic masterwork
Don Quixote has become so entranced by reading romances of chivalry that he determines to become a knight errant and pursue bold adventures, accompanied by his squire, the cunning Sancho Panza. As they roam the world together, the aging Quixote's fancy leads them wildly astray, tilting at windmills, fighting with friars, and distorting the rural Spanish landscape into a fantasy of impenetrable fortresses and wicked sorcerers. At the same time the relationship between the two men grows in fascinating subtlety. Often considered to be the first modern novel, Don Quixote is a wonderful burlesque of the popular literature its disordered protagonist is obsessed with.
John Rutherford's landmark translation of Don Quixote won the 2002 Premio Valle Inclan prize for translation. His introduction discusses the traditional works parodied in Don Quixote and issues of literary translation.

Mary and Maria. Matilda (Penguin)

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
These three works of fiction - two by Mary Wollstonecraft, the radical author of A Vindication of the Rights of Woman, and one by her daughter Mary Shelley, creator of Frankenstein - are powerfully emotive stories that combine passion with forceful feminist argument. In Mary Wollstonecraft's Mary, the heroine flees her young husband in order to nurse her dearest friend, Ann, and finds genuine love, while Maria tells of a desperate young woman who seeks consolation in the arms of another man after the loss of her child. And Mary Shelley's Matilda - suppressed for over a century - tells the story of a woman alienated from society by the incestuous passion of her father. Humane, compassionate and highly controversial, these stories demonstrate the strongly original genius of their authors.

Rashomon and Seventeen Other Stories (Penguin)

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
Ryunosuke Akutagawa (1892-1927) is one of Japan's foremost stylists - a modernist master whose short stories are marked by highly original imagery, cynicism, beauty and wild humour. 'Rashomon' and 'In a Bamboo Grove' inspired Kurosawa's magnificent film and depict a past in which morality is turned upside down, while tales such as 'The Nose', 'O-Gin' and 'Loyalty' paint a rich and imaginative picture of a medieval Japan peopled by Shoguns and priests, vagrants and peasants. And in later works such as 'Death Register', 'The Life of a Stupid Man' and 'Spinning Gears', Akutagawa drew from his own life to devastating effect, revealing his intense melancholy and terror of madness in exquisitely moving impressionistic stories.

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
Smurov, a fussily self-conscious Russian tutor, shoots himself after a humiliating beating by his mistress' husband. Unsure whether his suicide has been successful or not, Smurov drifts around Berlin, observing his acquaintances, but finds he can discover very little about his own life from the opinions of his distracted, confused fellow-emigres. Nabokov's shortest novel, The Eye is both a satirical detective story and a wonderfully layered exploration of identity, appearance and the loss of self in a world of word-play and confusion.

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
Reminiscent of her classic story 'The Lottery', Jackson's disturbing and darkly funny first novel exposes the underside of American suburban life.
'Her books penetrate keenly to the terrible truths which sometimes hide behind comfortable fictions, to the treachery beneath cheery neighborhood faces and the plain manners of country folk; to the threat that sparkles at the rainbow's edge of the sprinkler spray on even the greenest lawns, on the sunniest of midsummer mornings' Donna Tartt
In Pepper Street, an attractive suburban neighbourhood filled with bullies and egotistical bigots, the feelings of the inhabitants are shallow and selfish: what can a neighbour gain from another neighbour, what may be won from a friend? One child stands alone in her goodness: little Caroline Desmond, kind, sweet and gentle, and the pride of her family. But the malice and self-absorption of the people of Pepper Street lead to a terrible event that will destroy the community ...

When newly orphaned Cassandra Dashwood arrives as governess to little Sophy, the scene seems set for the archetypal romance between young girl and austere widowed employer. Strange secrets abound in the ramshackle house. But conventions are subverted in this atmospheric novel: one of its worlds is suffused with classical scholarship and literary romance, but the other is chaotic, quarrelsome and even farcical. Cassandra is to discover that in real life, tragedy, comedy and acute embarrassment are never far apart.

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
Под одним переплетом публикуются три романа конца XVIII в., и сегодня интересные тем, что не только некогда вызвали ажиотажный интерес у читателей по всей Европе, но и породили множество переводов, продолжений и подражаний, отголоски которых встречаются до сих пор. Романы объединяет ряд общих мотивов: мистика и ее разоблачение, могущественные тайные общества, заговоры, приключения, неожиданные перипетии, связанные с переодеваниями и "узнаваниями", мнимые смерти и воскрешения, волнующие любовные коллизии. Все три автора без преувеличения создали памятники своей эпохе, уловив дух времени, вписав прихотливый сюжет в контекст глобальных дилемм столетия: зло и справедливость, рациональное и сверхъестественное, слабость и сила человека.
В романе "Духовидец" (1789) великого немецкого поэта и мыслителя Фридриха Шиллера главный герой, на время обосновавшийся в Венеции немецкий принц, становится жертвой политических козней и мистификаций со стороны загадочных и далеко не безобидных проходимце ...

Глафира Семеновна и Николай Иванович Ивановы уже в статусе бывалых путешественников отправились в Константинополь. В пути им было уже не так сложно. После цыганского царства - Венгрии - маршрут пролегал через славянские земли, и общие братские корни облегчали понимание. Однако наши соотечественники смогли отличиться - чуть не попали в криминальные новости. Глафира Семеновна метнула в сербского таможенного офицера кусок ветчины, а Николай Иванович выступил самозванцем, раздавая интервью об отсутствии самоваров в Софии и их влиянии на российско-болгарские отношения.
