Anton Tchekhov - The Party and Other Stories краткое содержание
AFTER the festive dinner with its eight courses and its endless conversation, Olga Mihalovna, whose husband's name-day was being celebrated, went out into the garden. The duty of smiling and talking incessantly, the clatter of the crockery, the stupidity of the servants, the long intervals between the courses, and the stays she had put on to conceal her condition from the visitors, wearied her to exhaustion. She longed to get away from the house, to sit in the shade and rest her heart with thoughts of the baby which was to be born to her in another two months. She was used to these thoughts coming to her as she turned to the left out of the big avenue into the narrow path. Here in the thick shade of the plums and cherry-trees the dry branches used to scratch her neck and shoulders; a spider's web would settle on her face, and there would rise up in her mind the image of a little creature of undetermined sex and undefined features, and it began to seem as though it were not the…

Anton Chekhov (1860-1904) was a master of the short story. The son of a former serf in southern Russia, he attended Moscow University to study medicine, writing short stories for periodicals in order to support his family. What began as a necessity became a legitimate career in 1886 when he was asked to write in St. Petersburg for the Novoye Vremya (New Times), owned by millionaire magnate Alexey Suvorin. Chekhov began paying more attention to his writing, revising and developing his own...
THE evening service was being celebrated on the eve of Palm Sunday in the Old Petrovsky Convent. When they began distributing the palm it was close upon ten o'clock, the candles were burning dimly, the wicks wanted snuffing; it was all in a sort of mist. In the twilight of the church the crowd seemed heaving like the sea, and to Bishop Pyotr, who had been unwell for the last three days, it seemed that all the faces–old and young, men's and women's–were...

ONE day when she was younger and better-looking, and when her voice was stronger, Nikolay Petrovitch Kolpakov, her adorer, was sitting in the outer room in her summer villa. It was intolerably hot and stifling. Kolpakov, who had just dined and drunk a whole bottle of inferior port, felt ill-humoured and out of sorts. Both were bored and waiting for the heat of the day to be over in order to go for a walk.<br><br>All at once there was a sudden ring at the door. Kolpakov, who was...
П’єр Паоло Пазоліні (1922—1975) — відомий італійський письменник і режисер, що полюбляв експериментувати у своїй творчості: він писав вірші, романи, сценарії до театральних постановок, нариси й кіносценарії. «Я розпочав писати книгу, яка буде моєю справою протягом років, може, до кінця життя. Не хочу про неї розповідати…; досить сказати, що це щось штибу «підсумку» всього, що я пізнав, усіх моїх спогадів». Так Пазоліні описав свій останній роман, якому судилося лишитися незавершеним через...
Найджел, Гарольд и Карма — обычные люди. Такие же, как мы с вами. Но кто сказал, что «обычные люди» не могут стать образцом настоящего насилия? Нью-Йорк. 2017-й год. Лучшее время и место для того, чтобы жить счастливо. Но они не могут. И у каждого на это своя причина: одиночество, зависть, неразделенная любовь… Думаете, что вы никогда не переступите черту? Они тоже так думали. Но у жизни на нас свои планы.
Привет,этот роман жесток,сюрреалистичен и в нем много событий,схожих с теми,что происходят в повседневной жизни. Некоторым он покажется интересным,некоторым покажется кощунственным,но равнодушным точно не оставит. В центре повествования– простой человек, который в силу обстоятельств слышит голоса и пытается от них избавиться.
