A dazzling collection of early stories and later fragments which throw an entirely new light on Jane Austen. In particular, they reveal a precociously brilliant genius with a talent for broad comedy and even farce. Most of the pieces in this collection are very funny indeed, and several - including the novella Lady Susan and the unfinished novel Sandition are also neglected masterpieces. Other material includes the celebrated History of England, poems, prayers, the Plan of a Novel, etc. The volume is arranged in two parts, with the mature stories in Part 1 edited for easy reading, and the juvenilia collected by Austen herself presented exactly as she wrote them in Part 2. It includes everything she wrote apart from letters and the six famous novels, and is the final volume in the complete Everyman edition of her works now available in seven uniform volumes подробнее

The spirit of satire flourished during the Enlightenment as in no other period and the crowning achievement of that caustic, brilliantly learned age was Voltaire’s Candide, published in 1759, at the height of its author’s enormous European fame. Following the worldwide encounters – with shipwrecks, earthquakes, pestilence and human insanity – of its hero and his incomparably absurd tutor, Dr Pangloss, Candide is the most entertaining of all philosophical novels and the most philosophical of entertainments

Comprising one finished novel, Lady Susan, which was published posthumously, and two unfinished fragments, Sanditon and The Watsons, this collection – full of melodrama and burlesque, and exploring a range of literary styles and social classes – spans the entirety of Jane Austen’s writing life • The epistolary novel Lady Susan is the darkly humorous tale of the amatory schemes and machinations of an ambitious and unprincipled coquette. The Watsons is the tale of the refined and well-educated Emma Watson, forced by the second marriage of her aunt to return to the house of her impecunious father and face the marital plots and intrigues of her sisters. Begun in the last few months of Jane Austen’s life, Sanditon, set in a fast-growing former fishing village, swiftly becoming a fashionable resort, pokes fun at the inhabitants of the new coastal town, with all their hypochondria, witlessness and self-obsession

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

Роберт Льюис Стивенсон - английский писатель шотландского происхождения, поэт, автор приключенческих романов и повестей, крупнейший представитель английского неоромантизма. Единоборство добра и зла стало основной темой его произведений. В "Странной истории доктора Джекила и мистера Хайда" происходит переосмысление традиционной для романтизма и готического романа темы двойничества под углом зарождающейся научной фантастики, где зловещий двойник получает свободу действий благодаря раздвоению личности. Поглощая зелье своего собственного изготовления, доктор Джекил, добродетельный ученый, превращается в своего страшного двойника мистера Хайда, низкого душевно и отвратительного физически. Загадочная история таинственного Генри Джекила наводит на безотчетный ужас своей необъяснимостью

In Alligator and Other Stories, Dima Alzayat captures luminously how it feels to be 'other': as a Syrian, as an Arab, as an immigrant, as a woman. Each one of the nine stories collected here is a snapshot of those moments when unusual circumstances suddenly distinguish us from our neighbours, when our difference is thrown into relief • Here are 'dangerous' women transgressing, missing children in 1970s New York, a family who were once Syrian but have now lost their name, and a young woman about to discover the hollowness of the American dream. At its centre lies 'Alligator': a remarkable compilation of real and invented sources, which rescues from history the story of a Syrian American couple who were murdered at the hands of the state • Alzayat explores experiences that are startling and real, delivering an emotional punch that lingers long after reading

Douglas Clayton • These stories from the middle period of Chekhov's career include - influenced by his own experiences as a doctor - 'Ward No. 6', a savage indictment of the medical profession set in a mental hospital; 'The Black Monk', portraying an academic who has strange hallucinations, explores ideas of genius and insanity; 'Murder', in which religious fervour leads to violence; while in 'The Student', Chekhov's favourite story, a young man recounts a tale from the gospels and undergoes a spiritual epiphany

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
