Clovelly

Max Brand

One of Max Brands worth reading as an alternative to his western stories. Michael Clovelly might not have been the greatest swordsman ever to come to London town during the reign of the Merry Monarch, Charles the Second, but if a better man ever wielded a blade, he had not yet stepped forth to claim the distinction. Seeking gold with which to elevate his beggarly fortunes, Clovelly chances to encounter a bully, and his fierce sword work brings him to the attention of Lord Teynham, who has need of a resourceful man with a rapier. The commission: to turn highwayman and rob a certain coach. The reasons? They are both murky and mysterious. But they have to do with a certain lady of impeccable character...

To the Lighthouse

Virginia Woolf

An exquisite novel in which times of action are mixed and intertwined, and the summer spent by the wealthy Ramsey family on the Isle of Skye turns out to be a kind of British chronicle of lost time a fragile, almost idyllic time, doomed to be destroyed soon by the First World War. Children will grow up someone will survive and grow up, someone will lay their heads on the battlefields. Small failures and grievances will be forgotten. The old house will be abandoned, the garden will grow. But will the dream of a trip to a distant lighthouse come true even for one of Ramseys children? ..

Birds of Prey

Mary Elizabeth Braddon

Birds of Prey is the first part of the story of Charlotte and her family and friends. At first, the birds of prey are a little confusing, since each of the first few chapters is a separate vignette about one of the characters, without any visible links to the others. The main plot theme revolves around the hunt for the legitimate descendant of a wealthy man whose great legacy awaited the gift. And in this context, there are several more or less unscrupulous people who trace this genealogy.

Sketches by Boz. Illustrative of Every-Day Life and Every-Day People

Charles Dickens

Sketches by Boz, Illustrative of Every-day Life and Every-day People is a collection of short pieces published by Charles Dickens in 1836. The 56 sketches concern London scenes and people and are divided into four sections: Our Parish, Scenes, Characters, and Tales. The material in the first three of these sections is non-fiction. The last section comprises fictional stories. It was Dickenss first book, published when he was twenty-four, and in it we find him walking the London streets, in theatres, pawnshops, law-courts, prisons, along the Thames, and on the omnibus, missing nothing, recording and transforming urban and suburban life into new terrain for literature. Originally, the sketches were published in various newspapers and periodicals from 1833-1836 before being published collectively in one volume. If you enjoy the works of Charles Dickens then this collection is highly recommended for your book collection.

Bad News for Bad Men

Max Brand

Western. Bad News for Bad Men is just that for the Burwell clan when Jimmy Jones arrives in town to take over the Jasper Journal. Joness uncle has given him the small-town newspaper because Jimmys life so far has been divided into two equal halves: In the first twelve years you were a small child and a schoolboy. In the last twelve years you have tried to raise hell continually. Now, instead of being called a gunfighter, Jimmy can be called an editor. His uncle warns Jimmy that there is no news in Jasper except bad news, so Jimmy should be right at home. Notwithstanding, the rival newspaper prints only good news. Jimmy changes that from the start by stating that an act of heroism was actually a murder and that the Jasper Journal will tell readers how it happened and who committed it. The collection includes also 2 novels The Lions Share and The Red Well.

Вешние воды (Wiosenne wody)

Иван Сергеевич Тургенев, Iwan Siergiejewicz Turgieniew

Проза Ивана Сергеевича Тургенева, пожалуй, самая изящная в русской классической литературе, самая живописная. Пейзажи Тургенева точны и подробны и в то же время пронизаны щемящей сердце меланхоличной поэзией. Так же подробно и живо выписаны тургеневские характеры. В повести 201eВешние воды201d (1871) вновь сталкиваются психологическое и социальное, идеальная любовь и гибельная, разрушительная страсть. Старе­ющий одинокий помещик вспо­ми­нает, как в моло­дости, путе­ше­ствуя по Европе, он влюбился в краса­вицу-итальянку, хотел жениться на ней, но был соблазнён богатой замужней дамой и потерял любимую. Повесть снабжена комментарием, подробно раскрывающим историю ее создания и факты биографии автора, легшие в основу сюжетной линии и образов героев, а также постраничными примечаниями.
