Автор: Twain Mark Название: Pudd`nhead Wilson and Other Tales ISBN: 0199554714 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780199554713 Издательство: Oxford Academ Рейтинг: Цена: 7490 T Наличие на складе: Поставка под заказ. Описание: Pudd'nhead Wilson (1894) was Mark Twain's last serious work of fiction, and perhaps the only real novel that he ever produced. Written in a more sombre vein
than his other Mississippi writings, the novel reveals the sinister forces that Mark Twain felt to be threatening the American dream. In spite of a plot which includes child swapping,
palmistry, and a pair of Italian twins, this astringent work also raises the serious issue of racial differences.
This volume also includes two other late works 'Those Extraordinary
Twins' and 'The Man that Corrupted Hadleyburg'.

Автор: Hoffmann, E.t.a. Название: The Golden pot and other tales ISBN: 0199552479 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780199552474 Издательство: Oxford Academ Рейтинг: Цена: 6720 T Наличие на складе: Есть Описание: Hoffmann is among the greatest and most popular of the German Romantics. This selection, while stressing the variety of his work, puts in the foreground those tales in which the real and the supernatural are brought into contact and conflict. The humour of these tales is a result of the incongruity of supernatural beings at large in an ostentatiously everyday world. They include The Golden Pot, recognized as Hoffmann`s masterpiece by himself and posterity;its spine-chilling companion tale, The Sandman, which Offenbach drew on for his opera Tales of Hoffmann, and which Freud examines in his essay `The Uncanny`; two longer and more elaborate fantasies, set respectively in Germany and Italy; and the late story, My Cousin`s Corner Window, which shows the powers ofthe imagination being applied to everyday urban life, and marks a transition in European literature generally from Romanticism to Realism. Ritchie Robertson`s detailed introduction places the stories in their intellectual and historical context and explores their compelling narrative complexities.

Описание: This volume contains new translations of four of Pushkin's best works of fiction.

The Captain's Daughter is a novel-length masterpiece which combines historical fiction in the manner of Sir Walter Scott with the devices of the Russian fairy-tale. The introduction provides close readings of the stories and places them in their European literary context.
