Любовные похождения шевалье де Фобласа (Ладомир)

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
Настоящее издание впервые представляет на русском языке полный перевод знаменитого романа Жан-Батиста Луве де Кувре (1760-1797) "Любовные похождения шевалье де Фобласа" (1787-1790), оставившего значительный след как в мировой, так и в русской классической литературе.
Это лучшее произведение Луве де Кувре, вобравшее в себя дух литературы XVIII века и предвосхитившее появление идеалов и ценностей, характерных уже для века XIX; автор отдает дань аристократической галантной культуре в обеих ее ипостасях: возвышенной и либертинской. Роман отмечен яркой театральностью: действие развивается стремительно, как в классической комедии, а быстрая смена картин расцвечена остроумной болтовней либо переживаниями героя, пытающегося оправдать свое непостоянство. Субретка, обманутый муж, доктор-шарлатан, верный слуга, друт-наперсник, мудрый отец, злодейка проходят перед читателем в вихре взбаламученных чувств, случайных встреч, переодеваний, вражеских козней, разлук и обретений.
Благодаря влиянию Ж.-Ж. Ру ...

Life and Fate (Everyman)

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
Based around the pivotal WWII battle of Stalingrad (1942-3), where the German advance into Russia was eventually halted by the Red Army, and around an extended family, the Shaposhnikovs, and their many friends and acquaintances, Life and Fate recounts the experience of characters caught up in an immense struggle between opposing armies and ideologies. Nazism and Communism are appallingly similar, 'two poles of one magnet', as a German camp commander tells a shocked old Bolshevik prisoner. At the height of the battle Russian soldiers and citizens alike are at last able to speak out as they choose, and without reprisal - an unexpected and short-lived moment of freedom. Grossman himself was on the front line as a war correspondent at Stalingrad - hence his gripping battle scenes, though these are more than matched by the drama of the individual conscience struggling against massive pressure to submit to the State. He knew all about this from experience too. His central character, Viktor Shtrum, eventua ...

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
Part of Penguin's beautiful hardback Clothbound Classics series, designed by the award-winning Coralie Bickford-Smith, these delectable and collectible editions are bound in high-quality colourful, tactile cloth with foil stamped into the design.
In Herman Melville's Moby-Dick, Captain Ahab is an eerily compelling madman who focuses his distilled hatred and suffering (and that of generations before him) into the pursuit of a creature as vast, dangerous and unknowable as the sea itself. More than just a novel of adventure, this is a haunting social commentary populated with some of the most enduring characters in literature. Written with wonderfully redemptive humour, Moby Dick is a profound and timeless inquiry into character, faith and the nature of perception.

Сибилла (Ладомир)

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
Роман "Сибилла, или Две нации" увидел свет в 1845 году. Это был зрелый труд уже состоявшегося автора: злободневный, острый, интересный; в литературной среде он выстрелил подобно фейерверку и быстро стал достоянием английского читателя. Книга не утратила популярность и тогда, когда социально-политическая напряженность в Англии начала спадать, и наступила эпоха викторианского благоденствия. Роман был переведен на европейские языки. В России же "Сибиллой" интересовались в основном историки, литературоведы и биографы Дизраэли.
Что же такое "Сибилла" для современного русского читателя?
Во-первых, "Сибилла" - это связующее звено. Тугая нить, проходящая через восемь столетий: битва при Гастингсе и Реформация Генриха VTTI, Вильгельм Завоеватель и королева Виктория, разрушенные монастыри и древние замки гармонично обитают под одним переплетом. Автор связывает воедино политический контекст, историческую хронику и перипетии реальной жизни. Он открывает читателю самые р ...

Tristram Shandy (Everyman)

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
This ribald, high-spirited novel, whose author was described by Diderot as 'the Rabelais of the English', provoked literary scandal when it was first published in 1760. With its ingenious structure and its exuberant pretence of being an autobiography, Tristram Shandy fascinates like a verbal game of chess. Milan Kundera has said that it is the eighteenth-century novel he loves best.

The Complete Novels (Everyman)

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
In the five novels by Ireland's greatest comic writer we can explore the full range of his invention, from the multi-layered madness of At Swim-Two Birds to the piercing realism of The Hard Life and the surreal logic of The Third Policeman. This is a world where bicycles listen to conversations, inventors search for methods of 'diluting' water, and characters play truant while novelists sleep; a world where spiteful fairies wreak havoc and heroes from legend blunder into suburban sitting-rooms. This is recognizably the Ireland of Joyce and Beckett - rowdy, high-spirited, by turns sensual and cerebral - transformed by O'Brien's unique vision.

Vanity Fair (Everyman)

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
Set in the years before and after Waterloo, Vanity Fair tells the parallel stories of two schoolfriends: the quiet, long-suffering Amelia and the brilliant, scheming Becky Sharp. With a fine eye for the main chance, Becky almost succeeds in climbing the highest pinnacles of high society, until brought down by a combination of bad luck and over-ambition. With a superb cast of secondary characters - the old roue, the dull banker, the patient lover, the fat buffoon - the novel is as brilliant and brutal as a cartoon by Rowlandson or Gillray.

The Pickwick Papers (Everyman)

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
When young Charles Dickens was commissioned to write the text for a series of sporting illustrations in 1836, no one could have suspected that this journeyman task was to turn in to one of the great comic novels in English literature. After the premature death of the original illustrator, Dickens took charge of the project, which was published in monthly parts. The result is a brilliant panorama of English life in the 1830s, a cornucopia of stories and vignettes featuring dozens of vividly drawn characters. Chief among them are Mr Pickwick himself, a later day Don Quixote travelling about the country righting wrongs; and his Sancho Panza, Sam Weller, whose pithy sayings and bizarre anecdotes immediately became and remained part of national mythology. With The Pickwick Papers Dickens established himself at a single stroke as a major creative artist, revealing the depth of his human sympathies, the breadth of his interests and his extraordinary linguistic virtuosity. His first novel, published when he was 25, i ...

The Best of Wodehouse. An Anthology (Everyman)

|
ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
P. G. Wodehouse was, by common consent, the most brilliant writer of English comedy in the twentieth century, equally celebrated on both sides of the Atlantic. He achieved the unusual distinction of combining the widest possible popularity with the highest literary standards, attracting both the devotion of readers and the respect of his peers from Hilaire Belloc to Graham Greene. Several of his characters have already entered popular mythology. This anthology includes two novels, fourteen short stories and extracts from Wodehouse’s autobiography. The Code of the Woosters was written in 1938, Uncle Fred in the Springtime in 1939, when Wodehouse was at the height of his powers. The short stories feature all Wodehouse’s most famous creations – Jeeves and Wooster, Ukridge, Bingo Little, Mr Mulliner, the Earls of Emsworth and Ickenham. Finally, extracts from Over Seventy, a memoir as amusing and beautifully written as the novels, offer an insight into the attitudes and working habits of a very private man.

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
Перед читателем — последний роман великого Мигеля де Сервантеса, увидевший свет после обеих частей «Дон Кихота» и невольно оказавшийся в его тени, хотя совершенно незаслуженно. Этот роман Сервантес писал на смертном одре — уже «занося ногу в стремя», — и постарался передать в нем самое важное, то, к чему шел, в раздумьях и размышлениях, всю свою жизнь. Так родилось самое насыщенное смыслами, самое глубокое сочинение испанского гения, представляющее собой квинтэссенцию всех его взглядов.
«Странствия Персилеса и Сихизмунды» — не просто приключенческий или паломнический роман, это сказание о вечном Пути, главная мысль которого: всякий человек — скиталец на свете, влачащий свою жизнь под мудрым Провидением. Читатель следует за героями — отважным принцем Периандром-Персилесом и его возлюбленной — Ауристелой, Путеводной Звездой, выводящей героев из тьмы варварства, мрака отчаяния — к надежде, утешению и Свету. В путешествии по морям и суше герои посещают края несказанной красы; в пути их ждут судьбоносные в ...

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
As with her other novels, Sense and Sensibility concerns the question of suitable romantic partnerships and, ultimately, marriage.
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.

Bertie may be in danger of having his spine severed in five places by that jealous gorilla G. D'Arcy (Stilton) Cheesewright, but, as Jeeves insists, the priorities still have to be observed. And so, thanks to Jeeves, they are throughout this bumper volume, whatever mayhem may be loosed upon the befuddled head and generous heart of Bertram Wilberforce Wooster. Gathered in this volume are three of Wodehouse's hilarious Jeeves and Wooster novels: Jeeves and the Feudal Spirit, Stiff Upper Lip, Jeeves and Jeeves in the Offing.

'Shoot all the bluejays you want, if you can hit 'em, but remember it's a sin to kill a mockingbird.'
Atticus Finch gives this advice to his children as he defends the real mockingbird of this classic novel - a black man charged with attacking a white girl. Through the eyes of Scout and Jem Finch, Lee explores the issues of race and class in the Deep South of the 1930s with compassion and humour. She also creates one of the great heroes of literature in their father, whose lone struggle for justice pricks the conscience of a town steeped in prejudice and hypocrisy.
