Описание: A humorist, narrator, and social observer, Mark Twain is unsurpassed in American literature. Best known as the author of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Mark Twain, not unlike his protagonist, Huck, has a restless spirit. He found adventure prospecting for silver in Nevada, navigating steamboats down the Mississippi, and making people laugh around the world.

But Twain also had a serious streak and decried racism and injustice. His fascinating life is captured candidly in this enjoyable biography.

Описание: A crisis erupts worldwide when a mysterious meteor-like object hits the sea off Ireland, quickly followed, globally, by thousands more, creating vast amounts of vapour but little damage. But within weeks comes a shocking realisation. Men are suddenly and inexplicably impotent, with their sperm infertile. Doctors' surgeries are now packed, and markets across the globe begin to collapse as the implications of a terminally reducing and ageing world sink in. Experts now conclude that an alien force intends to take over the world by the appalling means of destroying human reproduction. A radical idea is secretly mooted as the only possible solution - the creation of 'havens' hidden from both the aliens in space and the rest of the world, where all available stored sperm should be used to create a new military generation. But will this even work? Worse, a new nightmare is soon on its way...

Описание: Finbarr and Manus are young orphans who are taken under the protection of the eccentric Mr Collopy (whose chief occupation is the extravagant discussion of the state of the world) and into his household, where they grow up with good whiskey and bad cooking. Manus proves to be a business genius, from organising correspondence courses in walking the tightrope to his creation of a cure for arthritis. When Mr Collopy's health is endangered by this cure they embark on a pilgrimage to Rome, to meet Pope Pius X, where a miracle is the least to be expected.

Life in Dublin at the turn of the twentieth-century is hard, poverty and squalor are common while public toilets for ladies are less frequent. In The Hard Life O'Brien celebrates the Irish genius for conversation while his use of language shows why he is regarded as the equal of his more famous contemporaries, James Joyce and Samuel Beckett, and one of the greatest comic writers of the twentieth-century. The Hard Life conceals its satire on the Roman Catholic Church and Irish education system through its uproarious comic energy.

Описание: The offbeat musicals... The stylized biopics... The visceral social dramas... The one-of-kind genre films... These are the types of films British director, writer, producer and cartoonist Sir Alan Parker has worked on. Parker is known for his humility as a director and has never considered himself an auteur. This book is the first study of his complete body of feature films (1976-2003).

Описание: On the twentieth anniversary of its publication, "The Things They Carried" returns to Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, with over two million copies in print. A classic work of American literature that has not stopped changing minds and lives since it burst onto the literary scene, "The Things They Carried" is a ground-breaking meditation on war, memory, imagination, and the redemptive power of storytelling. "The Things They Carried" depicts the men of Alpha Company: Jimmy Cross, Henry Dobbins, Rat Kiley, Mitchell Sanders, Norman Bowker, Kiowa, and the character Tim O'Brien, who has survived his tour in Vietnam to become a father and writer at the age of forty-three. Taught everywhere--from high school classrooms to graduate seminars in creative writing--it has become required reading for any American and continues to challenge readers in their perceptions of fact and fiction, war and peace, courage and fear and longing.

Описание: I thought of life`s many bounties, to have known the extremities of joy and sorrow, love, success and failure, fame and slaughter, to have read in the newspapers that as a writer I was past my sell-by date, yet regardless, to go on writing and reading, to be lucky enough to live in these two intensities that have buttressed my whole life.
