The Death of Ivan Ilyich and Other Stories is a collection of stories that emerged from a profound spiritual crisis, during which Leo Tolstoy believed that he had encountered death itself. This Penguin Classics edition is translated with an introduction by Anthony Briggs, David McDuff and Ronald Wilks • These seven compelling stories explore, in very different ways, Tolstoy's preoccupation with mortality. 'The Death of Ivan Ilyich' is a devastating account of a man fighting his inevitable end, and asks the existential question: why must a good person be taken before his time? In 'Polikushka', a light-fingered drunk's chance to prove himself has tragic repercussions, while 'Three Deaths' depicts the last moments of an aristocrat, a peasant and a tree, and 'The Forged Coupon' shows a seemingly minor offence that leads inexorably to ever more horrific crimes

Известный фантастический роман Герберта Уэллса о гениальном ученом докторе Моро, пытавшемся нарушить законы природы и сотворить из диких животных людей. Полученные в результате его бесчеловечных опытов существа обладали способностью к мышлению и даром речи, но людьми так и не стали. Звериные инстинкты оказались сильнее… • Этот том объединяет четыре самых живых и увлекательных рассказа Уэллса о странной эволюции и поведении животных, включая людей. За "Островом доктора Моро" следуют три фантастических, но в то же время пугающе правдоподобных рассказа о встречах человека и животных • Книга на английском языке • Moreau's highly controversial methods and ambitions conflict with the religious, moral and scientific norms of his day and Wells later called The Island of Doctor Moreita "a youthful exercise in blasphemy"
