Французский роман

Фредерик Бегбедер, 2013

Французский роман

«Французский роман» – книга автобиографическая. В основе ее реальная история из жизни автора: за употребление кокаина в общественном месте Фредерик Бегбедер, к тому времени уже знаменитый писатель, был задержан полицейскими и препровожден в тюрьму. Оказавшись в грязной тесной камере, он приходит в отчаяние. И внезапно, выплыв из глубин памяти, перед ним возникают воспоминания детства и юности, мрачные стены словно раздвигаются и на время исчезают, а на их месте одна за другой появляются картины...

99 франков

Фредерик Бегбедер, 2013

99 франков

Роман «99 франков» представляет собой злую сатиру на рекламный бизнес, безжалостно разоблачает этот безумный и полный превратностей мир, в котором все презирают друг друга и так бездарно растрачивается человеческий ресурс… Роман Бегбедера провокационен, написан в духе времени и весьма полемичен. Он стал настоящим событием литературного сезона, а его автор, уволенный накануне публикации из рекламного агентства, покинул мир рекламы, чтобы немедленно войти в мир бестселлеров.

A Hero of Our Time

Mikhail Lermontov

A Hero of Our Time

"Of lasting appeal to readers of all countries and centuries."—Vladimir NabokovRussian literature's first major prose novel, this gripping work was a primary influence on Tolstoy, Dostoyevsky, and other great nineteenth-century writers.

Published in 1840, one year before the author's death at age twenty-six in a duel,...

A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man - The Original Classic Edition

Joyce is about as challenging as they come in the literary world. However, since it seemed like Ulysses or Finnegans Wake would be a bit much to start with, you will find yourself reading A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man as an introduction to his work. <p> And although you will find this book about as easy to get into as Princeton, it was about as rewarding as well. Portrait is certainly anything but a light read. Joyces meandering narrative and serpentine prose can be confusing...

A Rogue's Life

Уилки Коллинз

A Rogue's Life

'A Rogue's Life' was published in a magazine some twenty years before it was made into a book. It is a very clever story, and the interest is well sustained throughout. There is just about enough of it, inasmuch as a short tale like this is more interesting than some of the author's longer works, wherein the complicated plots and lengthened mysteries are too apt to weary the reader before his curiosity is satisfied. We cannot help feeling quite an affection for the «Rogue,»...

Заза Бурчуладзе

Adibas

Новейший роман Зазы Бурчуладзе написан по следам событий августа 2008 года. «Маленькая победоносная война», выгодная политикам обеих стран, обернулась глубокой травмой для простых людей. Нет, ни в реальности, ни на страницах книги не дымятся развалины и не валяются груды трупов. Эта странная война остается как бы за кадром, но незримо присутствует в мыслях как навязчивый невроз. Расслабленная жизнь южного города, dolce far niente золотой тбилисской молодежи, бокал холодного белого вина, забытый...

At Fault

Kate Chopin

At Fault

In her own time, the works of Kate Chopin (1851–1904) shocked readers and critics with their challenge to contemporary mores. Her stories and novels reveal unsparing truths about the interior lives of women, some of whom experienced profound disillusionment with the rigid yoke of marriage, combined with an unfulfilled longing for self-realization. Celebrated today as a precursor of twentieth-century feminism, Chopin's fiction is considered to be among the masterpieces of American...

Бессмертная традиция

Игорь Журавель

Бессмертная традиция

Город Нью-Вавилон на первый взгляд мало чем отличается от современных мегаполисов. Но привычные для нас вещи соседствуют здесь с проявлениями дикой фантастической магии и сошедших с ума божественных сил. На улицах разворачивается война между Орденом Единого Бога, стремящимся к возврату цивилизации к ценностям Средневековья, и Конторой – организацией, цель которой состоит в объединении современной науки с древними религиозными традициями. Содержит нецензурную брань.
