Автор: Mark Twain Жанр: Random House, Inc. Год: 1984 Страниц: 679 Дата загрузки: 27 апреля 20091985-12-20

«For deft plotting, riotous inventiveness, unforgettable characters, and language that brilliantly captures the lively rhythms of American speech, no American writer comes close to Mark Twain. This sparkling anthology covers the entire span of Twain's inimitable yarn-spinning, from his early broad comedy to the biting satire of his later years. Every one of his sixty stories is here: ranging from the frontier humor of «The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County», to the bitter vision of humankind in «The Man That Corrupted Hadleyburg», to the delightful hilarity of «Is He Living or Is He Dead?» Surging with Twain's ebullient wit and penetrating insight into the follies of human nature, this volume is a vibrant summation of the career of — in the words of H. L. Mencken — «the father of our national literature.»

Eugene Onegin and Other Poems
Автор: Alexander Pushkin Жанр: Random House, Inc. Год: 1999 Страниц: 256 Дата загрузки: 22 сентября 20092001-07-24
|
|
Eugene Onegin (1833) is a comedy of manners, written in exquisitely crafted verse, about two young members of the Russian gentry, the eponymous hero and the girl Tatyana, who don't quite connect. It is also the greatest masterpiece of Russian literature — the source of the human archetypes and the attitudes that define and govern the towering fictional creations of nineteenth century Russia and one of the most celebrated poems of the world. Before Alexander Pushkin (1799-1837) wrote Eugene Onegin, his nation's literature was a parochial one; after he wrote it, due in no small part to its power and influence, the Russian tradition became one of the central traditions of Western civilization.
