ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
Владимир Галактионович Короленко (1853-1921) известен в первую очередь своими хрестоматийными повестями "Слепой музыкант" и "Дети подземелья". Книга же его воспоминаний, которую сам он считал главной в своей творческой биографии, широкому читателю знакома существенно хуже. "История моего современника" описывает детство и молодость писателя - вплоть до его возвращения из череды ссылок в 1885 году, и выдержана в духе лучших образцов русской мемуарной прозы: от "Былого и дум" Александра Герцена до "Записок революционера" Петра Кропоткина. Однако от этих классических текстов "Историю..." отличает примечательное отсутствие эгоцентризма: Короленко пишет не столько о себе на фоне времени, сколько о времени как таковом. Благодаря авторской установке на предельную честность и объективность воспоминания Короленко оказываются волшебным окошком во времена царствования Александра II, позволяющим увидеть эту далекую от нас эпоху во всем ее разнообразии, многолюдьи ...

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
Личность писателя и классика американской литературы Теодора Драйзера, автора знаменитой трилогии "Желание", в которую вошли "Финансист", "Титан" и "Стоик", стала культовой в мировой литературе с самого первого романа "Сестра Керри". В основу произведения легла подлинная история жизни сестры Теодора Драйзера Эммы.
Восемнадцатилетняя Каролина, которую все называют Керри, приезжает из маленького городка к родственникам в Чикаго. Девушка полна радужных мечтаний и надежд, но поиски счастья в большом городе сбивают девушку с истинного пути. Опубликованное в 1900 году, произведение вызвало негодование критиков, назвавших его совершенно безнравственным.

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
Подарочное издание легендарного романа «Мастер и Маргарита» со вступительной статьей Мариэтты Чудаковой и иллюстрациями Павла Оринянского, подготовленное совместно с музеем-театром «Булгаковский дом».
В час жаркого весеннего заката в Москву явился сам Дьявол со свитой. И с людьми начали происходить совершенно неожиданные вещи – кто-то потерял голову на мостовой, кто-то внезапно проснулся на ялтинской набережной, а кто-то, наконец, получил возможность спасти своего возлюбленного. Пусть для этого и потребовалось стать настоящей ведьмой…
Легендарный роман Михаила Булгакова очень многослоен: здесь есть и пронзительная история Мастера и Маргариты, которая ради спасения любимого идет на сделку с Дьяволом, и феерическая сатира на быт и нравы Москвы 30-х годов, и целый «роман в романе» - вечный спор Иешуа с Понтием Пилатом.
«Мастер и Маргарита» была впервые опубликована только в середине 60-х годов и сразу произвела фурор в литературных кругах, даже несмотря на большую цензуру. Персонажи и образы Бу ...

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
At the end of the Great War, Andreas Pum has lost a leg but at least he has a medal and a barrel-organ which he plays on the streets of Vienna. At first the simple-minded veteran is satisfied with his lot, and he even finds an ample widow to marry. But then a public quarrel with a respectable citizen on a tram turns Andreas's life onto a rapid downward trajectory. As he loses first his beggar's permit, then his new wife, and even his freedom, he is finally provoked into rejecting his blind faith in the benevolence of both government and God.

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
One of the greatest poes of Persia's golden age, Jalal al-Din, commonly known as Rumi (1207–73) is, with the exception of Omar Khayyam, the most celebrated of all Persian writers. A scholar and theologian of great subtlety, Rumi is known in the West as a celebrant of Sufism, the mystical branch of Islam which cultivates above all things union with God, the Beloved. This spiritual doctrine he expounded in lyric verse of startling beauty, earthy humour and human sympathy, qualities which still speal to readers in our own time, Muslim or non-Muslim. By drawing on versions from different translators, ranging from the free to the near-literal, this selection from the huge corpus of Rumi's work reveals an engaging, brilliant and passionate poet with a seemingly limitless fund of vivid metaphor and homely fable.

When Bertie Wooster goes to stay with his Aunt Dahlia at Brinkley Court and finds himself engaged to the imperious Lady Florence Craye, disaster threatens from all sides.

Throw in a disappearing pearl necklace, Aunt Dahlia's magazine Milady's Boudoir, her cook Anatole, the Drones Club Darts match and Mr and Mrs L.G. Trotter from Liverpool, and you have all the ingredients for a classic Wodehouse farce.

Mike and Psmith (Everyman)

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
An early Wodehouse novel, this is both a sporting story and a tale of friendship between two boys at boarding school. Mike (introduced in Mike at Wrykyn) is a seriously good cricketer who forms an unlikely alliance with old Etonian Psmith ('the P is silent') after they both find themselves fish out of water at a new school, Sedleigh. Full of entertainment, the plot reaches a satisfying conclusion as the pair eventually overcome the hostility of others and their own prejudices to become stars. Even readers uninterested in cricket are likely to be gripped by descriptions of matches, but the real meat of the book is to be found in the characters, especially the elegant Psmith, one of Wodehouse's immortal creations, who features in three of his later novels.

Wodehouse is at his most sparkling in this collection of stories concering members of the Drones Club.

They and their contemporaries populate a series of vignettes in which the plot-twists keep you on your toes while the jokes keep on coming.

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
The nearest Wodehouse ever came to a serious story, The Coming of Bill is a fascinating blend of social comment and light comedy. It concerns the offspring of Ruth, a spoilt heiress, and Kirk, an impecunious artist of perfect physique, brought together by Ruth’s aunt, a believer in eugenics. The young couple are eventually successful in retrieving their child and their marriage from the influence of the overbearing Mrs Porter, but only after a series of comic mishaps in a book which features a galaxy of vintage Wodehouse characters, including the bossy aunt, a tetchy millionaire, a good-natured ex-boxer and an orotund English butler.

The Man with Two Left Feet (Everyman)
скидки на товар нигде нет ;( это обычная* цена - 2374.00 руб.

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
These early stories, first published together in 1917, show Wodehouse perfecting his craft. Characters include a talking dog, a private eye who wants to be an actor, a bank clerk who cannot dance, an ugly policeman, a baseball-mad businessman, and a black cat. The star attraction of the volume for most readers will probably be ‘Extricating Young Gussie’, the first story to feature Jeeves, though in a minor role. His employer, Bertie (furnished with an Aunt Agatha but no surname) had not yet, like Wodehouse himself, ‘appreciated the man’s qualities’. All the stories, however, bear the unmistakable imprint of the author’s comic genius.
