Hadji Murad

Leo Tolstoy

Hadji Murad

Tolstoy's novella blends fiction and historical fact to portray a legendary Avar chieftain who switched sides in the nineteenth-century Russo-Caucasian war. Inspired by the author's military service, Hadji Murád offers riveting views of warfare and treason, murder and vengeance, and behind-the-scenes political plotting. An uncharacteristically brief story by the creator of War and Peace, it voices Tolstoy's pacifist beliefs. This novella also provides a...

Rasselas, Prince of Abyssinia

Historically recognized as the man who wrote the dictionary, Dr. Johnson amplified his literary fame with the 1759 publication of «Rasselas, Prince of Abyssinia». This novel was wildly popular upon its release, despite the fact that Johnson completed the work in the evenings of a single week, donning it his «little story book.» The story is of a royal brother and sister who have been kept in a luxurious, fertile valley, where their every desire is quickly fulfilled, and where they are closed off...

Мягкая машина

Уильям Берроуз

Мягкая машина

Второй роман великого Уильяма Берроуза – писателя, изменившего лицо альтернативной литературы XX века. Потрясающее и странное произведение, в котором сюрреалистический талант, впервые заговоривший в полный голос в «Голом завтраке», достиг принципиально новых высот. Нет ничего святого. Нет ничего запретного. В мире, где нищета соседствует с роскошью, где власть и могущество – более мощные наркотики, чем алкоголь, секс и героин, возможно все. Уильям Берроуз, творец миров и реальностей,...

Мастер и Маргарита

Михаил Булгаков

Мастер и Маргарита

Роман «Мастер и Маргарита» – визитная карточка Михаила Афанасьевича Булгакова. Более десяти лет Булгаков работал над книгой, которая стала его романом-судьбой, романом-завещанием. В «Мастере и Маргарите» есть все: веселое озорство и щемящая печаль, романтическая любовь и колдовское наваждение, магическая тайна и безрассудная игра с нечистой силой.
