The Yellow Wall-Paper, Herland, and Selected Writings

Charlotte Perkins Gilman was an American sociologist, author, poet, and lecturer whose influential work and unorthodox lifestyle made her an icon for future generations of feminists. Much of her work criticized common perceptions of the role of women in marriage and society, and advocated for educational, financial, and cultural equality amongst the sexes. Her advocacy is exhibited in her novella “Herland”, in which she describes a utopian society composed entirely of women, who reproduce...

This Side of Paradise

Fitzgerald's first novel, This Side of Paradise (1920) was an immediate, spectacular success and established his literary reputation. Perhaps the definitive novel of that «Lost Generation,» it tells the story of Amory Blaine, a handsome, wealthy Princeton student who halfheartedly involves himself in literary cults, «liberal» student activities, and a series of empty flirtations with young women. When he finally does fall truly in love, however, the young woman rejects him for another....

This Side of Paradise

Few author’s personal lives have been as intertwined with their writing as that of F. Scott Fitzgerald. The author’s popularity may have as much to do with the interest in his personal life as with his writing itself. The story behind “This Side of Paradise” certainly lends credence to this idea. When Fitzgerald’s future wife, Zelda Sayre, broke of their courtship in the summer of 1919, the author returned home to finish work on his first novel in hopes that its publication would bring him a...

Three Men in a Boat

A level 4 Oxford Bookworms Library graded readers. Retold for Learners of English by Diane Mowat. ‘I like work. I find it interesting… I can sit and look at it for hours.’ With ideas like this, perhaps it is not a good idea to spend a holiday taking a boat trip up the River Thames. But this is what the three friends – and Montmorency the dog – decide to do. It is the sort of holiday that is fun to remember afterwards, but not so much fun to wake up to early on a cold, wet morning. This...

Тихий американец

Грэм Грин

Тихий американец

Идея романа «Тихий американец» появилась у Грэма Грина после того, как он побывал в Индокитае в качестве военного корреспондента лондонской «Таймс». Выход книги спровоцировал скандал, а Грина окрестили «самым антиамериканским писателем». Но время все расставило на свои места: роман стал признанной классикой, а название его и вовсе стало нарицательным для американских политиков, силой насаждающих западные ценности в странах третьего мира. Вьетнам начала 50-х годов ХХ века, Сайгон. Жемчужина...
