Abandoned at six months old, Moll has no option but to use her considerable wit and looks to make her way in a world where no mercy is given to the unadaptable. As a woman her options are limited and Moll embarks on a rollicking career of incest, bigamy and crime. Five times married, a whore and a thief, her business is survival - and survive she does, both a prisoner and manipulator of her circumstances, whose timely spiritual regeneration in prison is, she tells us, "the best part of the story".

Англ.яз. AS TO WOMEN THAT DO NOT THINK THEIR OWN SAFETY WORTH THEIR OWN THOUGHT, THAT, IMPATIENT OF THEIR PRESENT STATE, RUN INTO MATRIMONY AS A HORSE RUSHES INTO THE BATTLE, I CAN SAY NOTHING TO THEM BUT THIS, THAT THEY LOOK LIKE PEOPLE THAT VENTURE THEIR ESTATES IN A LOTTERY WHERE THERE IS A HUNDRED THOUSAND BLANKS TO ONE PRIZE.” DANIEL DEFOE’S IRONIC TALE OF ONE WOMAN’S WICKED WAYS.

Born into the seedy world of Newgate Prison and abandoned as a baby at six months old, Moll Flanders soon learns that she can only rely on herself. Her story is an unapologetic one of bigamy, prostitution and theft told in her own indomitable and alluring way. Scurrilous and incorrigible, the reader is left wondering whether Moll is merely a brazen criminal, or a victim or her own circumstance. Defoe's witty romp through the eighteenth-century underworld has much to say about the forces of good and evil and is undeniably one of his most satirical novels.

A tour-de-force of writing by Daniel Defoe, this extraordinary novel tells the vivid and racy tale of a woman`s experience in the seamy side of life in late seventeenth- and early eighteenth-century England and America. Born in Newgate prison, and seduced in the home of her adoptive family, Moll learns to live off her wits, defying the traditional depiction of women as helpless victims. First published in 1722, and one of the earliest novels in the English language, its account of opportunism, endurance, and survival speaks as strongly to us today as it did to its original readers. This new edition offers a critically edited text and a wide-ranging introduction by Linda Bree, who sheds light on the circumstances out of which the novel...

Daniel Defoe was an English trader, writer, pamphleteer and journalist. He is most famous for his novel "Robinson Crusoe", which is second only to the Bible in its number of translations. Moll Flanders details the life of the irresistible Moll and her struggles through poverty and sin in search of property and power. Born in Newgate Prison to a picaresque mother, Moll propels herself through marriages, periods of success and destitution, a trip to the New World and back, only to return to the place of her birth as a popular prostitute and brilliant thief. Daniel Defoe created a female character-narrator who recounts, from a woman`s point of view, her life and adventures, portraying critically the society in which she lived.

Contains 10 cards (5 each of 2 designs) and 10 envelopes. Created at the very height of Impressionism by the leader of the movement, Claude Monet, the two works in this folio of notecards exemplify how the Impressionist artists sought to convey a passing glimpse or impression of nature as seen by the human eye. Both were commissioned by the textile manufacturer Ernest Hoschede, one of the first patrons of the Impressionists, to decorate the large drawing room of his chateau at Montgeron, Rejecting the rules of classical landscapes, Monet concentrated on reflecting changes in light and color, producing an astonishingly fresh momentary impression. In Corner of the Garden at Montgeron, Monet took` as his motif a blooming garden and...

On the one hand, Mr. Hailey`s artistic brilliance is impossible to deny. He`s one of the most skilled writers around, if not the best. His stories are realistic, thrilling, touching, funny - in that sense, they are likely to exceed your expectations. This book, too, contains plot lines, scenes and characters that are just fabulous. On the other hand, this book has one really annoying flaw: Mr. Hailey makes a very strong political statement in support of value-destroyers. By those, I mean incapable people who attempt to destroy other people`s productive achievements by making them feel guilty for no legitimate reason. Productive and selfish people are described very negatively in this book. If you tend to the Socialist/PC way of thinking,...
