Day and night Jay Gatsby`s mansion on West Egg buzzes with bright young things drinking, dancing and debating his mysterious character. For Gatsby - young, handsome, fabulously rich - always seems alone in the crowd, watching and waiting, although no one knows what for. Beneath the shimmering surface of his life he is hiding a secret longing that can never be fulfilled. In The Great Gatsby, Fitzgerald brilliantly captures both the disillusion of post-war America and the moral failure of a society obsessed with wealth and status. But he does more than render the essence of a particular time and place, for in chronicling Gatsby`s tragic pursuit of his dream, Fitzgerald re-creates the universal conflict between illusion and reality.

Издание полностью на английском языке. Полный, неадаптированный текст произведения. The parties at Gatsby's Long Island mansion were legendarily glamorous affairs. Yet amid the throng of guests, starlets and champagne waiters, their host would appear oddly aloof. For there was only one person Jay Gatsby sought to impress. She was Daisy Buchanan: married, elegant, seducing men with a silken charisma and `a full of money`. As Gatsby pursues shady deals and his doomed obsession with Daisy, Fitzgerald distills the essence of the Jazz Age, and probes to the empty heart of the American Dream.

David Copperfield was Dickens` `favourite child`, and is a novel of personal development with richly comic as well as deeply poignant moments. Great Expectations also traces the progress of a young man through life but, as a novel of the author`s maturity, is expressed in subtler shades of nuance. Oliver Twist is more black-and-white than either, highlighting the incorruptibility of young Oliver as he battles with the evil of Fagin and Bill Sikes. A Christmas Carol is both a ghost story and a moral tale which defined the pattern of Christmas celebrations. The four books in one volume represent much of Dickens` finest writing. This elegant edition is quarter bound in bonded leather, with head and tail bands, a ribbon marker, gilt top...

These Comedies are among the best loved of Shakespeare`s plays. In each a problem emerges, is then intensified to a point of maximum confusion and potential upset, before the chaos is resolved, however improbably, into general goodwill and a spate of marriages. The triumph of these plays lies in the way they mingle humorous stage business and dexterous word play with a more serious study of identity, gender, dreaming, the meaning of love, even of the theatre itself. They reassure us that with all its faults, the world will always in the end be redeemable. `Not for an age but for all time.` So Ben Jonson established what we now take for granted: Shakespeare`s unique place among the world`s great authors. Romeo and Juliet shows us the...
