Описание: Among Ben t's most beautiful and moving works are these eight deceptively simple short stories that he assembled as Tales of Our Time. Each tale uses a seemingly commonplace situation-a class reunion, a funeral, teenagers falling in love in the summer, a family embarrassed by a father's crude joke, a marriage quietly failing under cover of social courtesies-to expose the fraught and complex dimensions of the characters' relationship to society and themselves.
The picture of America that these stories paint is full of wit and humor, but also sorrow and tragic awareness. They are a reminder to today's reader of how much of our "modern" experience is really universal, and how even those people and societies most changed by the course of progress remain at heart the same people, for better and worse.

Описание: Pulitzer Prize-winning author Stephen Vincent Ben t was one of America's greatest storytellers, most famous for his witty and moving tribute to American history, The Devil and Daniel Webster, where a trial for a man's soul becomes a trial of America itself, of all that is best and worst in a great and tumultuous new country.
In addition, this collection includes six more of Ben t's best short stories, which in a similar vein, depict compelling and diverse elements in America's great social tapestry, with memorable and often amusing characters: a man whose toothache leads him to encounter Paul Revere on the eve of the American Revolution; a Jewish immigrant who discovers a new experience of life as a trader on the American frontier; a woman brought from Africa as a slave who teaches her grandson the price of freedom; an old confederate colonel, hateful and unwilling to accept the loss of his old world; and an adventurous young man who discovers the folly in all walks of human life.
The stories included are:
The Devil and Daniel Webster Jacob and the Indians A Tooth for Paul Revere Freedom's a Hard-Bought Thing O'Halloran's Luck The Die-Hard Johnny Pye and the Fool-Killer

Описание: When he is caught by his wife in one ill-advised seduction too many, young William Shakespeare flees Stratford to seek his fortune. Cast adrift in London, Will falls in with a band of players, but greater men have their eye on this talented young wordsmith. England's very survival hangs in the balance and Will finds himself dispatched to Venice on a crucial assignment.
Dazzled by the city's masques and its beauties, he little realizes the peril in which he finds himself. Catholic assassins would stop at nothing to end his mission on the point of their sharpened knives--and lurking in the shadows is a killer as clever as he is cruel.
Suspenseful, seductive, and as sharp as an assassin's blade, The Spy of Venice introduces a major new literary talent to the genre--thrilling if you've never read a word of Shakespeare and sublime if you have.
