Автор: MacLean Norman Название: A River Runs Through It and Other Stories ISBN: 022647206X ISBN-13(EAN): 9780226472065 Издательство: Wiley Рейтинг: Цена: 15840.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: When Norman Maclean sent the manuscript of A River Runs through It and Other Stories to New York publishers, he received a slew of rejections. One editor, so the story goes, replied, "it has trees in it." Forty years later, the title novella is recognized as one of the great American tales of the twentieth century, and Maclean as one of the most beloved writers of our time. The finely distilled product of a long life of often surprising rapture--for fly-fishing, for the woods, for the interlocked beauty of life and art--A River Runs through It has established itself as a classic of the American West. This new edition will introduce a fresh audience to Maclean's beautiful prose and understated emotional insights.
Elegantly redesigned, A River Runs through It includes a new foreword by Robert Redford, director of the Academy Award-winning 1992 film adaptation of River. Based on Maclean's own experiences as a young man, the book's two novellas and short story are set in the small towns and mountains of western Montana. It is a world populated with drunks, loggers, card sharks, and whores, but also one rich in the pleasures of fly-fishing, logging, cribbage, and family. By turns raunchy and elegiac, these superb tales express, in Maclean's own words, "a little of the love I have for the earth as it goes by."

Описание: This volume contains new translations of four of Pushkin's best works of fiction. The Queen of Spades has long been acknowledged as one of the world's greatest short stories, in which Pushkin explores the nature of obsession. The Tales of Belkin are witty parodies of sentimentalism, while Peter the Great's Blackamoor is an early experiment with recreating the past. 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.

Автор: Anton Von Stefan Название: Curse of the Red Crystal: & Other Gothic Tales ISBN: 1926991729 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781926991726 Издательство: Gazelle Book Services Рейтинг: Цена: 24310.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: This book celebrates gothic horror. These eleven tales of terror span the distance from Victorian times to the present day, from Egyptian tombs to modern streets, from creaking ships to stately mansions, and from good intentions to damnation. Mysterious locales, mystical artifacts, eerie omens, and macabre machinations converge to delight and horrify even the most complacent among us in these atmospheric accounts of guilt, revenge and obsession. Be it mad science performed on human bodies or madness infecting the soul, Anton Von Stefan examines what lies beneath the veneer of familiarity to see what hides from us in the shadows. Be prepared -- your hair will bristle and your jaw will drop. Covering your eyes wont make the words on the page go away, it will just burn the images deeper into your mind.
Автор: Chekhov Anton Название: About love and other stories ISBN: 0199536686 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780199536689 Издательство: Oxford Academ Рейтинг: Цена: 9140.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ.

Автор: James Название: The Turn of the Screw and Other Stories ISBN: 0199536171 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780199536177 Издательство: Oxford Academ Рейтинг: Цена: 7380.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: A young, inexperienced governess is charged with the care of Miles and Flora, two small children abandoned by their uncle at his grand country house. She sees the figure of an unknown man on the tower and his face at the window. It is Peter Quint, the master`s dissolute valet, and he has come for little Miles. But Peter Quint is dead. Like the other tales collected here - `Sir Edmund Orme`, `Owen Wingrave`, and `The Friends of the Friends` - `The Turn of the Screw` is to all immediate appearances a ghost story. But are the appearances what they seem? Is what appears to the governess a ghost or a hallucination? Who else sees what she sees? The reader may wonder whether the children are victims of corruption from beyond the grave, or victims of the governess`s `infernal imagination`, which torments but also entrals her? `The Turn of the Screw` is probably the most famous, certainly the most eerily equivocal, of all ghostly tales. Is it a subtle, self-conscious exploration of the haunted house of Victorian culture, filled with echoes of sexual and social unease? Or is it simply, `the most hopelessly evil story that we have ever read`? The texts are those of the New York Edition, with a new Introduction and Notes.
