Lady Chatterley's Lover	CRW Publishing
Автор: Lawrence D.H. Издательство: CRW Publishing, 2005	DOC, 512 страниц, 1.00 МБ 5 Оценка:
Connie's unhappy marriage to Clifford Chatterley is one scarred by mutual frustration and alienation. Crippled from wartime action, Clifford is confined to a wheelchair, while Connie's solitary, sterile existence is contained within the narrow parameters of the Chatterley ancestral home, Wragby. She seizes her chance at happiness and freedom when she embarks on a passionate affair with the estate's gamekeeper, Mellors, discovering a world of sexual opportunity and pleasure she'd thought lost to her. The explosive passion of Connie and Mellors' relationship — and the searing candour with which it is described — marked a watershed in twentieth century fiction, garnering Lady Chatterley's Lover a wide and enduring readership and lasting notoriety.

Moby Dick	CRW Publishing
Автор: Melville H Издательство: CRW Publishing, 2004	PDF, 768 страниц, 23.04 МБ 7 Оценка:
On board the whaling ship Pequod a crew of wise men and fools, renegades and seeming phantoms is hurled through treacherous seas by a crazed captain hell-bent on hunting down the mythic White Whale. Melville transforms the little world of the whale-ship into a crucible where mankind's fears, faith and frailties are pitted against a relentless fate. Teeming with ideas and imagery, and with its extraordinary, compressed intensity sustained by mischievous irony and moments of exquisite beauty, Moby-Dick is both a great American epic and a most profoundly imaginative literary creation.

The Odyssey	CRW Publishing
Автор: Homer Издательство: CRW Publishing, 2004	PDF, 407 страниц, 12.21 МБ 0 Оценка:
The Odyssey can claim to be Western literature's first adventure story, and describes the ten-year wanderings of Odysseus in his quest to return home after the Trojan war. He encounters giants, sorceresses and sea-monsters before he can get home and then must remain in disguise while seeking a way to rid his home of the suitors who, believing him dead, have besieged his wife. Both an enchanting fairy tale and a gripping drama, The Odyssey is eminently readable, not least for the rich complexity and magnetism of its hero.

The Origin Of Species	CRW Publishing
Автор: Darwin Charles Издательство: CRW Publishing, 2004	DjVu, 576 страниц, 23.04 МБ 0 Оценка:
In The Origin of Species Darwin outlined his theory of evolution, which proposed that species had been evolving and differentiating over time under the influence of natural selection.

The Picture of Dorian Gray	CRW Publishing
Автор: Wilde O. Издательство: CRW Publishing, 2003	PDF, 256 страниц, 7.68 МБ 0 Оценка:
On its first publication The Picture of Dorian Gray was regarded as dangerously modern in its depiction of fin-de-sicle decadence. In this updated version of the Faust story, the tempter is Lord Henry Wotton, who lives selfishly for amoral pleasure; Dorian's good angel is the portrait painter Basil Hallward, whom Dorian murders. The book highlights the tension between the polished surface of high society and the life of secret vice. Although sin is punished in the end the book has a flavour of the elegantly perverse.

A Portrait of The Artist as a Young Man	CRW Publishing
Автор: Joyce James Издательство: CRW Publishing, 2005	DjVu, 304 страницы, 12.16 МБ 0 Оценка:
This is one of the most significant literary works of the 20th century, and one of the most innovative. Young Irish Catholic, Stephen Dedalus, rejects religion and national ties to develop unfettered as an artist. Strongly autobiographical, the novel is one of the founding texts of Modernism and the precursor of Ulysses. Its originality shocked contemporary readers on its publication in 1916, who found its treating of the minutiae of daily life indecorous, and its central character unappealing.

The Prince and The Art Of War	CRW Publishing
Автор: Machiavelli N. Издательство: CRW Publishing, 2004	PDF, 440 страниц, 13.20 МБ 8 Оценка:
Written in the sixteenth century and almost immediately a subject of controversy, The Prince presents Machiavelli's advice to a ruler who would seek to maintain his power most effectively. Pragmatism and expediency are seen to be more important considerations than ethical ones, and a ruler must be prepared to take actions in the interest of public order that might conflict with purely private ethical concerns. A good ruler must avoid being hated by his subjects however. In The Art of War Machiavelli examines ancient military practices for their relevence to modern political issues, and asserts that military power is at the base of all civil order.
