ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
Twenty Years After (1845), the sequel to The Three Musketeers, is a supreme creation of suspense and heroic adventure.
Two decades have passed since the musketeers triumphed over Cardinal Richelieu and Milady. Time has weakened their resolve, and dispersed their loyalties. But treasons and strategems still cry out for justice: civil war endangers the throne of France, while in England Cromwell threatens to send Charles I to the scaffold. Dumas brings his immortal quartet out of retirement to cross swords with time, the malevolence of men, and the forces of history. But their greatest test is a titanic struggle
with the son of Milady, who wears the face of Evil.
In his Introduction to this edition David Coward sets both the author and his exciting tale in their historical and cultural contexts.

The Queen of Spades and Other Stories (Oxford)

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
The Queen of Spades has long been acknowledged as one of the world's greatest short stories. In this classic literary representation of gambling, Alexander Pushkin explores the nature of obsession. Hints of the occult and gothic alternate with scenes of St Petersburg high-society in the story of the passionate Hermann's quest to master chance and make his fortune at the card-table. Underlying the taut plot is an ironical treatment of the romantic dreamer and
social outcast.
This volume contains three other major works of Pushkin's fiction, moving from the witty parodies of sentimentalism and high melodrama in The Tales of Belkin to an early experiment with recreating the past in Peter the Great's Blackamoor. It concludes with the novel-length masterpiece The Captain's Daughter, which combines historical fiction in the manner of Sir Walter Scott with the colour and devices of the Russian fairy-tale in a narrative of rebellion and romance.

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
В XIV веке, когда Италия была объята эпидемией чумы, сотни трупов застилали мостовые города, люди готовились к концу света. Три благородных юноши и семь юных девушек сбежали из самого жерла эпидемии за город. Закрывшись от мира на старинной вилле, они стали коротать вечера, рассказывая друг другу истории. Одни из историй поражали своей откровенностью, другие - пугали, а третьи заставляли молодых людей неожиданно вспомнить о том, что на самом деле значат такие слова, как: любовь, человечность и благородство. Каждый день они обсуждали ужасные подробности чумной эпидемии, почти уничтожившей их родной город, и каждый день, желая ощутить радость жизни на пороге смерти, они рассказывали все более захватывающие и ужасающие истории. Десять дней они рассказывали по десять историй.
"Декамерон" Боккаччо стал одним из главных произведений итальянского Ренессанса. Великая книга была написана в 1350-х годах, после вспышки чумы, унесшей половину населения Италии. Церковь запретила "Декамерон" из-за ...

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
Самый известный роман австрийского писателя, драматурга и эссеиста Роберта Музиля (1880-1942) "Человек без свойств" так и не был закончен, и несмотря на это, роман стал важнейшей вехой в истории немецкой литературы XX века, встав рядом с лучшими произведениями Томаса Манна, Стефана Цвейга и Лиона Фейхтвангера. Главный герой романа Ульрих, столкнувшись с "невероятным одиночеством человека в пустыне мелочей", старается отгородиться от "блеска и нищеты" внешнего мира с помощью своего "эго". И история его жизни становится, по сути, кропотливым исследованием души современного человека, не утратившего способности мечтать и быть готовым к непредсказуемым последствиям, становящимся его судьбой. Во второй том вошли главы с 87 по 123.

Barchester Towers (Everyman)

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
Anthony Trollope was well aware that the seemingly parochial power struggles that determine the action of Barchester Towers – struggles whose comic possibilities he exploits to hilarious effect – actually went to the heart of mid-Victorian English society, and had, in other times and other guises, led to civil war and constitutional upheaval. That awareness heightens the comedy and intensifies the drama in this magnificent novel and it transforms the story of a fight for ascendency among the clergy and dependants of a great English cathedral into something fundamental and universal. Barchester Towers is the second of Trollope's six Barchester Novels, all published by Everyman's Library.

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
The Story of the Stone (c. 1760), also known by the title of The Dream of the Red Chamber, is the great novel of manners in Chinese literature.
Divided into five volumes, of which The Debt of Tears is the fourth, it charts the glory and decline of the illustrious Jia family (a story which closely accords with the fortunes of the author's own family). The two main characters, Bao-yu and Dai-yu, are set against a rich tapestry of humour, realistic detail and delicate poetry, which accurately reflects the ritualized hurly-burly of Chinese family life. But over and above the novel hangs the constant reminder that there is another plane of existence - a theme which affirms the Buddhist belief in a supernatural scheme of things.

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
The Story of the Stone (c.1760) is one of the greatest novels of Chinese literature. The first part of the story, The Golden Days, begins the tale of Bao-yu, a gentle young boy who prefers girls to Confucian studies, and his two cousins: Bao-chai, his parents' choice of a wife for him, and the ethereal beauty Dai-yu. Through the changing fortunes of the Jia family, this rich, magical work sets worldly events - love affairs, sibling rivalries, political intrigues, even murder - within the context of the Buddhist understanding that earthly existence is an illusion and karma determines the shape of our lives.

The Story of the Stone (c. 1760), also known as The Dream of the Red Chamber, is one of the greatest novels of Chinese literature. The fifth part of Cao Xueqin's magnificent saga, The Dreamer Awakes, was carefully edited and completed by Gao E some decades later. It continues the story of the changing fortunes of the Jia dynasty, focussing on Bao-yu, now married to Bao-chai, after the tragic death of his beloved Dai-yu. Against such worldly elements as death, financial ruin, marriage, decadence and corruption, his karmic journey unfolds. Like a sleepwalker through life, Bao-yu is finally awakened by a vision, which reveals to him that life itself is merely a dream, 'as moonlight mirrored in the water'.
