Edgar Allan Poe: Collected Stories and Poems	CRW Publishing
Автор: Poe Edgar Allan Издательство: CRW Publishing, 2012	PDF, 384 страницы, 11.52 МБ 0 Оценка:
This collection of Poe's work contains some of the most exciting and haunting tales ever written. They range from the poetic to the mysterious and the darkly comic, yet all possess the genius of the grotesque that defines Poe's writing. The stories are so alive with compelling mysteries, vibrant images and unforgettably tormented characters, that it is easy to associate Edgar Allan Poe solely with entertainment and forget that he was also one of the greatest innovators in modern literature. This volume contains all of Poe's Tales of Mystery and Imagination and Tales of the Grotesque and Arabesque, and a selection of his poetry.

Pride and Prejudice	CRW Publishing
Автор: Austen Jane Издательство: CRW Publishing, 2012	PDF, 490 страниц, 14.70 МБ 8 Оценка:
To celebrate the bicentenary of the publication of Pride and Prejudice, the Collector's Library will publish its lavishly illustrated edition in colour in January. Jane Austen's best-loved novel is a memorable story about the inaccuracy of first impressions, about the power of reason, and above all about the strange dynamics of human relationships and emotions. Here, where Hugh Thomson's delightful period illustrations were originally black-and-white, they have been sensitively coloured by Barbara Frith, one of Britain's most accomplished colourists. Hugh Thomson (1860-1920) was the finest exponent of period illustration in what is sometimes known as the 'powder and patch' school.

North and South	CRW Publishing
Автор: Gaskell Elizabeth Cleghorn Издательство: CRW Publishing, 2013	DOC, 652 страницы, 1.00 МБ 5 Оценка:
The 'north and south' of the title are the Satanic mills of the industrial north and the leisured life of London society and rural Hampshire. When her father leaves the Church, Margaret Hale is uprooted from her comfortable home in Hampshire to move with her family to the North of England. Initially repulsed by the ugliness of her new surroundings in the industrial town of Milton, Margaret becomes aware of the poverty and suffering of local mill workers and develops a passionate sense of social justice and a turbulent relationship with mill-owner John Thornton. North and South depicts a young woman discovering herself, in a nuanced portrayal of what divides people, and what brings them together.

Tales of the Jazz Age	CRW Publishing
Автор: Fitzgerald F.Scott Издательство: CRW Publishing, 2012	PDF, 367 страниц, 11.01 МБ 0 Оценка:
Published in 1922, the eleven Tales of the Jazz Age feature the flappers and lost young men of the period as well as a great variety of characters and scenes. Among them, the critically acclaimed novella May Day contrasts drunken debutantes with a mob of war veterans battling socialists in the streets, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, filmed with Brad Pitt, Cate Blanchett and Tilda Swinton, is a fantasy about a man who ages in reverse, and A Diamond as Big as the Ritz is a surreal fable of excess.

The Taming of the Shrew	CRW Publishing
Автор: Shakespeare William Издательство: CRW Publishing, 2013	PDF, 180 страниц, 5.40 МБ 8 Оценка:
The Taming of the Shrew is one of the most famous and controversial of Shakespeare's comedies, and feminists have been divided in their responses. The central relationship, in which Petruchio boisterously 'tames' a rebellious Kate, has often appeared problematic. In the theatre, it has been treated in a diversity of ways, so that Kate's apparent capitulation varies between the ironic and the sincere. But the play remains one of Shakespeare's most popular dramas, and has been memorably staged and filmed as the musical Kiss Me Kate, with music and lyrics by Cole Porter.

The Warden	CRW Publishing
Автор: Trollope Anthony Издательство: CRW Publishing, 2013	PDF, 272 страницы, 8.16 МБ 8 Оценка:
Trollope's witty, satirical story of a quiet cathedral town shaken by scandal — as the traditional values of Septimus Harding are attacked by zealous reformers and ruthless newspapers — is a drama of conscience that pits individual integrity against worldly ambition. In The Warden Anthony Trollope brought the fictional county of Barsetshire to life, peopled by a cast of brilliantly realised characters that have made him among the supreme chroniclers of the minutiae of Victorian England. It is the first book in The Chronicles of Barsetshire, and its sequel is Barchester Towers, also available in The Collector's Library.

Go-Between	CRW Publishing
Автор: Hartley L.P. Издательство: CRW Publishing, 2013	PDF, 360 страниц, 10.80 МБ 8 Оценка:
'The past is a foreign country; they do things differently there', begins L. P. Hartley's tale of nostalgia, the reawakening of lost memories and sexual awareness. It is 1952. Leo, now in his sixties, comes upon an old diary describing one long, hot summer with a school-friend at Brandham Hall, where he acted as a messenger between Ted, a local farmer, and Marian, the beautiful young woman up at the Hall. He becomes drawn deeper and deeper into their dangerous game of deceit and desire. This haunting story of a young boy's awakening into the secrets of the adult world is also an unforgettable evocation of the boundaries of Edwardian society.

Peter Pan	CRW Publishing
Автор: Barrie Издательство: CRW Publishing, 2014	PDF, 200 страниц, 6.00 МБ 8 Оценка:
Peter Pan is a fantasy of extraordinary imagination, and a national treasure. It has everything — airborne children, mocking mermaids, bloodthirsty pirates, and a homicidal crocodile with a nasty tick. In this novelization of the original play, J.M. Barrie brings the cast and the action of the drama brilliantly to life on the page. We travel to the surreal world of Neverland, and meet the true characters of the story, as Barrie created them: Wendy Darling and Captain Hook, Tinker Bell and Tiger Lily, and above all, the enchanting, boastful boy who refuses to grow up.

This phantasmagoric study in terror is set in Second World War London. Arthur Rowe's mind is hamstrung by guilt — a Graham Greene speciality — and he stands aside from the war until he happens to guess both the true and the false weight of the cake at a charity fete. From that moment he is the quarry of malign and shadowy forces from which he tries to escape with a mind that is out of focus. The action plays out as bombs pound the city, and who is friend and who foe becomes increasingly uncertain.
