Howards End

E. M. Forster

Howards End

First published in 1910, “Howards End” is E. M. Forster’s classic story regarding social conventions of different strata of English society at the end of the 19th century. The story centers around three families; the Wilcoxes, a wealthy family who made their fortune in the African colonies; the Schlegels, three siblings, Margaret, Helen, and Tibby, who represent the intellectual bourgeoisie; and the Basts, a young struggling couple from a lower class background. The Schlegels are lively...

Dubliners

Joyce James

Dubliners

These vivid, tightly focused observations about the life of Dublin's poorer classes originally made publishers uneasy: the stories contain unconventional themes and coarse language, and they mention actual people and places. Today, however, the stories are admired. They are considered to be masterful representations of Dublin done with economy and grace-representations, as Joyce himself once explained, of a chapter in the moral history of Ireland that give the Irish a good look at...

Море — мой брат. Одинокий странник

Джек Керуак, 2015

Море — мой брат. Одинокий странник

Еще при жизни Керуака провозгласили «королем битников», но он неизменно отказывался от этого титула. Все его творчество, послужившее катализатором контркультуры, пронизано желанием вырваться на свободу из общественных шаблонов, найти в жизни смысл. Поиски эти приводили к тому, что он то испытывал свой организм и психику на износ, то принимался осваивать духовные учения, в первую очередь буддизм, то путешествовал по стране и миру. Единственный в его литературном наследии сборник малой прозы...

Sense and Sensibility

Джейн Остин

Sense and Sensibility

A level 5 Oxford Bookworms Library graded reader. Retold for Learners of English by Clare West. Sometimes the Dashwood girls do not seem like sisters. Elinor is all calmness and reason, and can be relied upon for practical, common sense opinions. Marianne, on the other hand, is all sensibility, full of passionate and romantic feeling. She has no time for dull common sense – or for middle-aged men of thirty-five, long past the age of marriage. True love can only be felt by the young, of course....

The Betrothed

Alessandro Manzoni

The Betrothed

Set in northern Italy in 1628, during the terrible, oppressive years under Spanish rule, it is sometimes seen as a veiled attack on Austria, which controlled the region at the time the novel was written. It is also noted for the extraordinary description of the plague that struck Milan around 1630.

Сад Иеронима Босха

Тим Скоренко

Сад Иеронима Босха

Нет, Мессия не спустился с небес в белых одеждах в окружении ангелов и сиянии славы. Он приехал в Рим на случайной попутке, на ногах у него были грязные стоптанные ботинки, а во рту не хватало нескольких зубов. Он крал, убивал и прелюбодействовал, но это не имело значения, потому что его назвали новым Христом в прямом эфире всех телеканалов мира. И человечество получило того, кого заслуживало.

New Grub Street

George Gissing

New Grub Street

George Gissing (1857-1903) was an English novelist of the late-Victorian era. Gissing's career as a novelist, at least until the late twentieth century, has been assessed in the framework of the nineteenth century realism and naturalism. Like many writers at the end of the nineteenth century, he was caught between the sociological realists with reform instincts and the adherents of an aesthetic movement with their emphasis on the attainment of ideal beauty. Gissing never achieved fame or...

Жюль Верн

Off on a Comet

Jules Gabriel Verne (1828-1905) has been ranked alongside Hugo Gernsback and H.G. Wells for the title of «Father of Science Fiction.» The French novelist wrote about scientific and technological advancements – particularly in air, space and water travel – before they existed. His popular stories of travelers in unknown realms, known as his «voyages extraordinares», have made him the second-most translated author in the world. His 1877 novel, «Off on a Comet», takes place on a large comet that...

Dorian Gray portree

Oscar Wilde

Dorian Gray portree

> Oscar Wilde’i lugu moekast noormehest, kes müüb oma hinge igavese nooruse ja ilu saavutamiseks, on üks kirjaniku kuulsamaid teoseid. Wilde’ile iseloomulikus sädelevas ja epigramlikus stiilis kirjutatud lugu Dorian Gray moraalsest lagunemisest põhjustas esmailmumise ajal 1890 märgatava skandaali. Wilde’i süüdistati dekadentsis ja lugejate moraali rikkumises. Hiljem on teosest siiski saanud aegumatu klassika.
