Nostromo (Everyman)

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
Conrad’s foresight and his ability to pluck the human adventure from complex historical circumstances were such that his greatest novel, Nostromo – though over one hundred years old – says as much about today’s Latin America as any of the finest recent accounts of that region’s turbulent political life. Insistently dramatic in its storytelling, spectacular in its recreation of the subtropical landscape, this picture of an insurrectionary society and the opportunities it provides for moral corruption gleams on every page with its author’s dry, undeceived, impeccable intelligence.

|
ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
A brand new omnibus of 55 short stories, presented for the first time in chronological order.
Described by her friend Dolly Bantry as ‘ the typical old maid of fiction’, Miss Marple has lived almost her entire life in the sleepy hamlet of St Mary Mead. Yet, by observing village life she has gained an unparalleled insight into human nature – and used it to devasting effect. As her friend Sir Henry Clithering, the ex-Commissioner of Scotland Yard has been heard to say: ‘She’s just the finest detective God ever made.’ – and many Agatha Christie fans would agree.
Appearing for the first time in The Murder at The Vicarage (1930) her crime-fighting career spanned over forty years when she solved her final case in 1977 in Sleeping Murder. With every tale flawlessly plotted by the Queen of Crime herself, these short stories provide a feast for hardened Agatha Christie addicts as well as those who have grown to love the detective through her many film and television appearances.

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
"Собор Парижской Богоматери" - признанный шедевр мировой литературы XIX века, выросший из идеи Виктора Гюго создать "в одно и то же время роман, драму и эпопею, конечно живописный, но в то же время поэтический, действительный, но в то же время идеальный, правдивый, но в то же время величественный". В этой книге искусно переплетаются история и будничная жизнь средневекового Парижа , реальные события и художественный вымысел, философские размышления и романтический сюжет, в центре которого - драматичная история любви "короля шутов" Квазимодо к уличной танцовщице Эсмеральде.
Величественные своды собора Парижской Богоматери, "каменной летописи веков" и вместе с тем символа новой эпохи, предстают во всем своем великолепии в иллюстрациях французских художников XIX века.

Госпожа Бовари (Речь)

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
"Госпожа Бовари" стоила Флоберу более четырех лет напряженного беспрерывного труда: писатель не только тщательно разработал психологическую основу романа, но и приложил все свои силы, чтобы довести текст до идеала. Роман рождался из колоссального количества черновиков, готовых фрагментов и сюжетных вариантов. Эмма Бовари тяготится браком, пускается навстречу любовным приключениям и по легкомыслию истрачивает все небольшое состояние мужа...
Трагическая история провинциалки получила скандальную известность после первой публикации, а сам Флобер и его издатели - обвинение в "оскорблении общественной морали, религии и добрых нравов". Однако уже очень скоро "Госпожа Бовари" была по достоинству оценена во всем мире и признана одним из литературных шедевров.
Роман сопровождают иллюстрации Михаила Майофиса, передающие атмосферу буржуазного общества XIX века.

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
Widely known for her extraordinary novels, including The Last September, The Death of the Heart and The Heat of the Day, Elizabeth Bowen (1899-1973) surpassed even herself as a writer of short fiction. 'The supreme genius of her time, writes John Banville in his introduction; 'There is not a story in this substantial volume ... that is not brought off beautifully.'
There are seventy-nine stories in all, amongst them of course such well-loved classics as 'Mysterious Kor', 'The Demon Lover', 'Summer Night', 'Ivy Gripped the Steps' and 'The Happy Autumn Fields'. Written over four decades, they range in setting from the County Cork of the author's Anglo-Irish childhood to bomb-ravaged London where she coolly sat out World War II, every scene evoked with vivid and impeccable artistry. Children, frustrated lovers and even ghosts inhabit her tales with an urgency and emotional complexity, which make it clear that the drama of human c ...
