Penguin The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman Sterne Laurence

'L-d! said my mother, what is all this story about? - A COCK and a BULL, said Yorick - And one of the best of its kind, I ever heard' • Laurence Sterne's great masterpiece of bawdy humour and rich satire defies any attempt to categorize it, with a rich metafictional narrative that might classify it as the first 'postmodern' novel. Part novel, part digression, its gloriously disordered narrative interweaves the birth and life of the unfortunate 'hero' Tristram Shandy, the eccentric philosophy of his father Walter, the amours and military obsessions of Uncle Toby, and a host of other characters, including Dr Slop, Corporal Trim and the parson Yorick. A joyful celebration of the endless possibilities of the art of fiction, Tristram Shandy is also a wry demonstration of its limitations

Penguin The Fairy Tales of Charles Perrault Картер Анджела

In eighteenth century France, Charles Perrault rescued from the oral tradition fairy tales that are known and loved even today by virtually all children in the West. Angela Carter came across Perrault's work and set out to adapt the stories for modern readers of English. In breathing new life into these classic fables, she produced versions that live on as classics in their own right, marked as much by her signature wit, irony, and subversiveness as they are by the qualities that have made them universally appealing for centuries

Penguin The History and Topography of Ireland Gerald of Wales

Gerald of Wales was among the most dynamic and fascinating churchmen of the twelfth century. A member of one of the leading Norman families involved in the invasion of Ireland, he first visited there in 1183 and later returned in the entourage of Henry II. The resulting Topographia Hiberniae is an extraordinary account of his travels. Here he describes landscapes, fish, birds and animals; recounts the history of Ireland's rulers; and tells fantastical stories of magic wells and deadly whirlpools, strange creatures and evil spirits. Written from the point of view of an invader and reformer, this work has been rightly criticized for its portrait of a primitive land, yet it is also one of the most important sources for what is known of Ireland during the Middle Ages

Penguin The Life and Opinions of the Tomcat Murr Гофман Эрнст Теодор Амадей

Кот Мурр - милое животное-самоучка, написавшее свою собственную автобиографию. Но ошибка печатника привела к тому, что его история была случайно смешана с книгой о композиторе Йоханнесе Крейслере. Поскольку две версии обрываются и чередуются в драматические моменты, из путаницы возникают два совершенно разных персонажа - Мурр, уверенный в себе ученый, любовник, кутила и скандалист, и угрюмый, ипохондрический гений Крейслер. В своем буйном и причудливом романе Гофман блестяще раскрывает фантастическое, смешное и возвышенное в будничной суете повседневной жизни, делая "Жизнь и мнения кота Мурра" одним из самых смешных и странных романов девятнадцатого века • Книга на английском языке • Tomcat Murr is a loveable, self-taught animal who has written his own autobiography

Penguin The Cyberiad Лем Станислав

A charming, mind-bending and anarchic book of imagined civilizations • 'Most cosmic civilizations long for things, in the depths of their souls, they would never openly admit to...' • Trurl and Klapaucius are 'constructors' - they travel around the universe creating machines of astonishing inventiveness and power and visiting a bewildering variety of violent, peculiar and morose civilizations. The Cyberiad is oddly reminiscent of Gulliver's Travels, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, The Phantom Tollbooth and Alice in Wonderland. Charming, mind-bending and anarchic, it is perhaps Lem's greatest work. This edition includes all of Daniel Mroz's hallucinatory original illustrations
