Penguin The Road to San Giovanni Calvino Italo

В середине тридцатых годов издатель Джорджа Оруэлла поручил ему написать книгу о безработице и социальных условиях экономически неблагополучного севера Англии. Результатом его усилий стала «Дорога на Уиган-Пирс», это революционное для своего времени произведение. В нём знаменитый писатель и журналист рассказывает о жизни в городах Барнсли, Шеффилд и Уиган, где ему довелось побывать в 1936 году. Там он познакомился, пообщался и пожил бок о бок в паршивой ночлежке с представителями рабочего класса из безблагодатных промышленных районов Йоркшира и Ланкашира • Оруэлл ярко и пронизанным сочувствием тоном описывает трудности простых людей, живших в трущобах, работавших в опасных условиях, получавших гроши, и изголодавшихся как по сытной еде, так и по справедливости

Один из величайших умов современности, Фридрих Ницше разрушил убеждения своей эпохи. Эти труды, которые во многом укрепили его репутацию философа, предлагают некоторые из его самых сильных и тревожных мыслей: о том, как ценности новой, агрессивной элиты спасут нигилистическую, посредственную Европу, и, что наиболее известно, о "воле к власти" - идеях, за которые ухватились и искаженный более поздними читателями. Взятая из неопубликованных записных книжек Ницше и собранная его сестрой после его смерти, "Воля к власти" теперь выходит с исправленными предыдущими ошибками • Книга на английском языке • 'This world is the will to power - and nothing besides!' • One of the great minds of modernity, Friedrich Nietzsche smashed through the beliefs of his age

Pin is a bawdy, adolescent cobbler's assistant, both arrogant and insecure who - while the Second World War rages - sings songs and tells jokes to endear himself to the grown-ups of his town - particularly jokes about his sister, who they all know as the town's 'mattress'. Among those his sister sleeps with is a German sailor, and Pin dares to steal his pistol, hiding it among the spiders' nests in an act of rebellion that entangles him in the adults' war • Italo Calvino, one of Italy's finest postwar writers, has delighted readers around the world with his deceptively simple, fable-like stories. He was born in Cuba in 1923 and raised in San Remo, Italy; he fought for the Italian Resistance from 1943-45. His major works include Cosmicomics (1968), Invisible Cities (1972), and If on a winter's night a traveler (1979)

The process of getting the IRA to end its so-called 'armed struggle' was always the prerequisite of the search for peace.
