ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
Frank Wentworth, Perpetual Curate of St Roque’s, has basked in the popularity of Carlingford, beloved in the gracious homes of Grange Lane and the slums of Wharfside alike. But there are some among the sober-minded citizens who would see him as a ‘dilettante Anglican, given over to floral ornaments and ecclesiastical upholstery’ – a verdict shared by the new Rector who regards the presence of a young and energetic rival as an intolerable encumbrance. Imperceptibly, the tide starts turning against Frank Wentworth: his love for Lucy Wodehouse is threatened by his lack of prospects; his Evangelical aunts, in charge of a family living, disapprove of his high church ways, and rumours about a pretty shopgirl begin circulating. Slowly it dawns on Frank that he may well be doomed to a life of perpetual – and single – curacy.

When Fanny's uncle is absent in Antigua, Mary Crawford and her brother Henry arrive in the neighbourhood, bringing with them London glamour and a reckless taste for flirtation.

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
Northanger Abbey is often referred to as Jane Austen's Gothic parody. Decrepit castles, locked rooms, mysterious chests, cryptic notes, and tyrannical fathers give the story an uncanny air, but one with a decidedly satirical twist.
The story's heroine is Catherine Morland, an innocent seventeen-year-old woman from a country parsonage. While spending a few weeks in Bath with a family friend, Catherine meets and falls in love with Henry Tilney, who invites her to visit his family estate, Northanger Abbey

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
One of England's greatest writers, Jane Austen was born on 16 December 1775 at Steventon, Hampshire, where she lived the better part of her life. With her only sister, Cassandra, she was schooled briefly by a Mrs Ann Cawley, and rounded out her education through the efforts of her older brothers and her father, an Anglican vicar.
Sense and Sensibility began as Elinor and Marianne, Austen's first full-length novel, which is thought to have been written before 1796. She returned to the work late in 1797, revising it greatly. Published in 1811, when she was 35, Sense and Sensibility was the first of Austen's novels to appear in English bookstores. It was a well-received work, selling out its print-run in under two years, and was followed by Pride and Prejudice (1813), Mansfield Park (1814) and Emma (1816).
As with her other novels, Sense and Sensibility concerns the question of suitable romantic partnerships and, ultimately, marriage. However, the author herself never wed, though she w ...

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
Jane Austen's novels concern the gentle, rural English middle class existence and conventions of the early 18th-century. The author was born into just such a lifestyle on 16 December 1775 at Steventon, a small village in Hampshire, England. Her father, a vicar who supplemented his salary through farming, provided much of her education. Austen's talents were encouraged by her parents and siblings, who provided both a receptive and critical audience for her unpublished work.
Austen began writing Pride and Prejudice in 1796, under the title First Impressions. Completed the following year, it became a family favourite. However, when her father attempted to place the work with a London publisher, it was rejected. The novel first appeared in print in 1813, after Austen had proven herself something of a commercial success with Sense and Sensibility (1811), her first published novel.
Pride and Prejudice is perhaps the most comic of Austen's novels. It concerns the considerable efforts of a ...

The Prince Regent, the future George IV, was a particular admirer of Austen's work. Emma was dedicated reluctantly to the prince at the urging of the author's friends.

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
Роман "Мадам Потифар" - центральное произведение французского писателя-романтика и поэта-бунтаря Петрюса Бореля (1809-1859), известного отечественному читателю по сборнику "Шампавер. Безнравственные рассказы" (опубликован в серии "Литературные памятники" в 1971 году).
Выход этого сборника в 1833 году потряс современников: книгу переполняли богохульства, кровавые страсти, сцены сумасшествия, пыток и убийств. "Ликантроп", "волкочеловек", ненавидящий людей, поскольку они не заслуживают того счастья, которого он им желает, - таков был демонический герой "безнравственных рассказов", составивших "Шампавер" - яркий образец готического стиля.
В 1839 году Борель выступил с куда более мощным произведением - романом "Мадам Потифар". Положив в основу его сюжета ужасающую судьбу безвестного узника Бастилии, долгие годы томившегося в ожидании освобождения, но так и не сумевшего им воспользоваться, автор разворачивает перед читателем ...

In the years following the First World War a new generation emerges, wistful and vulnerable beneath the glitter.
