Everyman The Sonnets and Narrative Poems Шекспир Уильям

Beyond the few known facts we have about William Shakespeare, our real knowledge of him comes from the substantial body of non-dramatic verse he left behind. The strikingly modern sonnets and the invigorating narratives drawn from classical subjects suggest that had Shakespeare concentrated his extraordinary energies on these forms alone, and had he never written a single play, he would still hold the place he does in the hierarchy of world literature

В сборник "Степь" вошли повести, написанные Чеховым в плодотворный и во многом переломный для его творчества период 1880—1890-х гг. В них молодой писатель, уже лишившийся юношеского оптимизма, а впоследствии достигший спокойной и ироничной умудренности зрелых лет, открыл для себя тему, которая стала для него главной, — тему русской интеллигенции • Любовь и профессиональная деятельность, отношения с людьми, родительские чувства и попытки обрести смысл существования — все это для героев его повестей становится поводом для сложного и беспощадного самоанализа • Книга на английском языке • Anton Chekhov widely hailed as the supreme master of the short story also wrote five works long enough to be called short novels-here brought together in one volume for the first time in a masterly new translation by the award-winning translators Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky

За окном 1909 год. Наступило лето, и вся Англия слишком увлечена крикетом, чтобы заметить, что на неё напали немцы. И русские. И китайцы. О лихом отряде младотурков, безумном мулле и североафриканских пиратах мы и вовсе промолчим. Правительство недавно постановило распустить армию, так что захватчиков ждёт максимум вежливое безразличие. По крайней мере, именно так бы развивались события, не благослови английскую землю своим присутствием Кларенс Чагуотер. Этот патриотичный и смелый мальчик – единственный, кто готов дать отпор врагам. И, разумеется, Кларенс освобождает свою страну посредством хитрого и дерзкого плана. Не просто так же он числится в рядах бойскаутов… • «Бросок!» – остроумная история П. Г.

The liberal hero, Balint, is at odds with the politics of his time; he lyrically describes the idyllic pre-industrial world of Hungarian Transylvania, later to fall into the hands of first the Nazis and then the Communists, his love for Adrienne, married to an unpleasant and dangerous lunatic, and a Proustian society helplessly bent on its own destruction.This is a novel hard to put down, a masterpiece of twentieth-century literature that deserves to be much more widely known.First published in English in the early 1990s by a small publisher, and a huge word-of-mouth success, this is the first edition in hardback, and in two rather than three volumes

The Radetsky March is subtle and touching study of family life at the end of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Writing in the traditional form of the family saga, Roth nevertheless manages to bring to his story a completely individual manner which gives at the same time the detailed and intimate portrait of a life and the wider panorama of a failing dynasty. Not yet well known in English-speaking countries, Joseph Roth is one of the most distinguished Austrian writers of our century, worthy to be bracketed with Musil and Kraus

These eighteen classic stories from across John Updike’s career form a luminous chronicle of the life and times of one marriage in all its rich emotional complexity. In 1956, Updike published a story, ‘Snowing in Greenwich Village’, about a young couple, Joan and Richard Maple, at the beginning of their marriage. Over the next two decades, he returned to these characters again and again, tracing their years together raising children, finding and losing moments of romantic rapport, and facing the heartbreak of infidelity and estrangement. Now these stories appear in a single volume in hardcover for the first time, with the addition of a later story ‘Grandparenting’, which returns us to the Maples long after their wrenching divorce. Together, The Maples Stories offers a nuanced portrait of a flawed marriage between two sympathetic, well-intentioned practitioners of twentieth-century family life

Benvenuto Cellini is an artist-craftsman, one of the greatest sculptors in the renaissance, passionately devoted to art, the worshipper and frequenter of the great men of his time, the 'divine' Michelangelo, who came to his studio, the 'marvellous' Titian (the adjectives are Cellini's ). He loathed the sculptor Torregiano because he had broken Michelangelo's nose.His autobiography gives a quite extraordinarily vivid account of daily life in Renaissance Florence and Rome, its studios, its taverns, its violence, his loves, the kings, cardinals and popes who commission his works. At 27 he helps direct the defence of the castello San Angelo; his account of his imprisonment there under a mad castellan (who thought he was a bat), his escape by an improvised rope, his recapture, his confinement in 'a cell of tarantulas and venomous worms' is a chapter of adventure equal to any in fact or fiction
