The Doll: The Lost Short Stories
|
HarperCollins Publishers
|
Автор: Daphne du Maurier
Издательство: HarperCollins Publishers, 2011
|
PDF, 209 страниц, 6.27 МБ
|
«The lost stories of Daphne du Maurier, collected in one volume for the first time. Before she wrote «Rebecca», the novel that would cement her reputation as a twentieth-century literary giant, a young Daphne du Maurier penned short fiction in which she explored the images, themes, and concerns that informed her later work. Originally published in periodicals during the early 1930s, many of these stories never found their way into print again... until now. Tales of human frailty and obsession, and of romance gone tragically awry, the thirteen stories in «The Doll» showcase an exciting budding talent before she went on to write one of the most beloved novels of all time. In these pages, a waterlogged notebook washes ashore revealing a dark story of jealousy and obsession, a vicar coaches a young couple divided by class issues, and an older man falls perilously in love with a much younger woman — with each tale demonstrating du Maurier's extraordinary storytelling gifts and her deep understanding of human nature.»

PDF, 250 страниц, 7.50 МБ

«La Bruja de Portobello» relata la vida de Athena mediante la gente que la conocia bien o que no la conocia nada. Entre ellos, su madre adoptiva, un periodista, una sacerdotisa, un historiador y una actriz. Cada persona ilustra un aspecto diferente del caracter de Athena, describiendo lo que vieron y experimentaron y tambien compartiendo sus propias impresiones, creencias e inquietudes. Edda, sacerdotisa: «El gran problema de Athena era ser una mujer del siglo XXII, viviendo en el siglo XXI, permitiendo que todos lo viesen. Pago un precio? Sin duda. Pero habria pagado un precio mucho mas alto si hubiera reprimido su exuberancia.» Andrea McCain, actriz: «No me sorprende que su vida terminara de esa manera: vivia flirteando con el peligro... Athena era consciente de su carisma, e hizo sufrir a todos los que la amaron. Incluso a mi.» Heron Ryan, periodista: «Las personas crean una realidad y despues se vuelven victimas de ella. Athena se revelo contra eso y pago un precio alto.»

What happens in Vegas... doesn't always stay there. Autumn Haven's Las Vegas to-do list said to catch a show and play the slots — not wake up married to a sexy jerk like Sam LeClaire.

Return to the unique and evocative world of The Dying Earth, edited by best-selling author George R. R. Martin, in this tribute anthology featuring the most distinguished fantasists of our day. Here are twenty-two brand-new adventures set in the world of Jack Vance's greatest novel. A dim place, ancient beyond knowledge. The sun is feeble and red. A million cities have fallen to dust. Here live a few thousand souls, dying, as the Earth dies beneath them. Just a few short decades remain to the long history of our world. At the last, science and magic are one, and there is evil on Earth, distilled by time! Earth is dying. Half a century ago, Jack Vance created the world of the Dying Earth, and fantasy has never been the same. Now, for the first time, Jack has agreed to open this intriguing and darkly beautiful world to other fantasists, to play in as their very own. The list of twenty-two contributors eager to honour Jack Vance by writing for this anthology includes Neil Gaiman, Tad Williams, Elizabeth Hand, Tanith Lee, Dan Simmons, Robert Silverberg, and George R.R. Martin himself.

A wide-ranging and eclectic collection of short stories on the theme of love in its various forms: romantic, erotic, impossible, undying and exhausted. No other aspect of the human experience regularly inspires such an outpouring of poetry, prose and philosophy as love. From passionate declarations to clinical analysis, writers of every age have been fascinated, tormented and inspired by love. This beautifully produced collection of short stories will combine the best of contemporary and classic fiction on the theme of love, from Catullus to Alice Munro. Edited and introduced by the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of 'Middlesex', this wonderfully heterodox look at love will include, amongst others, 'A Rose for Emily' by William Faulkner, 'The Lady with the Lapdog' by Anton Chekhov and stories by Lorrie Moore, Milan Kundera and Guy de Maupassant.

To celebrate The Hobbit's 75th anniversary of publication, a pocket-sized hardback of J.R.R. Tolkien's timeless classic, perfect for little Hobbits everywhere. Bilbo Baggins enjoys a quiet and contented life, with no desire to travel far from the comforts of home; then one day the wizard Gandalf and a band of dwarves arrive unexpectedly and enlist his services — as a burglar — on a dangerous expedition to raid the treasure-hoard of Smaug the dragon. Bilbo's life is never to be the same again. The Hobbit became an instant success when it was first published in 1937, and 75 years later Tolkien's epic tale of elves, dwarves, trolls, goblins, myth, magic and adventure, with its reluctant hero Bilbo Baggins, has lost none of its appeal. Now, for the first time, the classic hardback edition is available in a one-off special pocket-sized edition. Featuring the distinctive cover illustration painted by Tolkien himself, plus his own drawings in the book, this edition will be the perfect gift for little Hobbits everywhere!
