Animal Farm
Orwell George 177 ₪Животным с фермы мистера Джонса с хозяином не повезло: он ленивый пьяница, не заботящийся об их благополучии и регулярно забывающий их кормить. Однажды их терпение подходит к концу и, вдохновившись речами недавно почившего старого и умудрённого жизнью борова, они решаются на восстание.У зверей получается прогнать фермера, и поначалу они надеются, что у них получится построить светлое будущее. Будущее без изнурительного труда и скотобоен. Будущее, в котором все четвероногие (или крылатые) создания будут наслаждаться свободой, равенством и братством. Но потихоньку начинает зарождаться новая элита, извращающая идеалы революции. На смену одному тирану приходит другой, и совсем скоро оказывается, что все животные равны, но некоторые равнее других…Повесть-притча Джорджа Оруэлла «Скотный двор – полная едкой сатиры аллегория Советского Союза при Сталине. Поначалу её отказывались публиковать, ведь писатель закончил работу над ней в 1944 году, когда Британия и СССР были союзниками. Да и после выхода «Скотного двора» в печать в 1945 году не все критики остались от него в восторге. Но со временем эта удостоенная премии «Хьюго» история о развращающем влиянии власти и смертельной опасности демагогии добилась статуса нестареющей классики. Неудивительно: данная повесть – один из самых ярких примеров литературного мастерства и сатирического таланта Джорджа Оруэлла.«Скотный двор» и роман «1984» – самые известные его произведения.Повесть была неоднократно экранизирована: по ней был снят одноимённый телефильм, а также полнометражный мультфильм «Звероферма».Издательство HarperCollins с гордостью представляет серию известных и значимых произведений классической литературы.Книга на английском языке.

Alices Adventures in Wonderland’
Carroll Lewis 198 ₪‘Alice was beginning to get very tired of sitting by her sister on the bank, and of having nothing to do: once or twice she had peeped into the book her sister was reading, but it had no pictures or conversations in it, “and what is the use of a book,” thought Alice, “without pictures or conversations?”’So begins the tale of Alice, who follows a curious White Rabbit down a hole and falls into Wonderland, a fantastical place where nothing is quite as it seems: animals talk, nonsensical characters confuse, Mad Hatters throw tea parties and the Queen plays croquet. Alice’s attempts to find her way home become increasingly bizarre, infuriating and amazing in turn.A beloved classic, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland has continued to delight readers, young and old, for over 150 years.

Orlando
Woolf Virginia 301 ₪‘Orlando had become a woman – there is no denying it. But in every other respect, Orlando remained precisely as he had been. The change of sex, though it altered their future, did nothing whatever to alter their identity.’Boisterous and defiant, Virginia Woolf’s queer classic subverts restraints of genre, time and gender. Traversing the complexities of human emotion and society’s obsession with conformity, the wild adventures of Woolf’s gender fluid hero begin in Elizabethan England and end in 1928 – yet Orlando ages just 36 years.A satirical romp that spans over three hundred years of history, Woolf’s fantastical biography was decades ahead of its time.

Lawrence David Herbert 169 ₪Lady Chatterley’s Lover was banned on its publication in 1928, creating a storm of controversy.

Constance, troubled by her husband’s words, finds herself involved in a passionate relationship with their gamekeeper, Oliver Mellors.

Mrs Dalloway
Woolf, Virginia 84 ₪HarperCollins is proud to present its incredible range of best-loved, essential classics.Clarissa Dalloway is a woman of high-society — vivacious, hospitable and sociable on the surface, yet underneath troubled and dissatisfied with her life in post-war Britain. This disillusionment is an emotion that bubbles under the surface of all of Woolf’s characters in Mrs Dalloway.Centred around one day in June where Clarissa is preparing for and holding a party, her interior monologue mingles with those of the other central characters in a stream of consciousness, entwining, yet never actually overriding the pervading sense of isolation that haunts each person.One of Virginia Woolf’s most accomplished novels, Mrs Dalloway is widely regarded as one of the most revolutionary works of the 20th century in its style and the themes that it tackles. The sense that Clarissa has married the wrong person, her past love for another female friend and the death of an intended party guest all serve to amplify this stultifying existence.

Tess of the D Urbervilles’
Hardy Thomas 79 ₪«Hardy watches over Tess like a stricken victim. He is as tender to Tess as Tess is to the world. Tender and helpless» — Irving Howe Into his story of a simple but beautiful country girl’s seduction by another man which causes her husband to leave her on their wedding night and thereby precipitates a course of events that ends in murder, Hardy wove a luminous tenderness and longing. ‘1 have never been able to put on paper all that she is, or was to me,’ he said. In defying convention and making a milkmaid the subject of tragedy, Hardy gave rein to his feeling for landscape and rural life — its harshness, seasonal rhythms and reminders of death and resurrection — and endows them with a brooding symbolism and visionary beauty.Издание полностью на английском языке.

The Hound of the Baskervilles
Doyle Arthur Conan 264 ₪‘It came with the wind through the silence of the night, a long, deep mutter, then a rising howl, and then the sad moan in which it died away.

The Road to Wigan Pier
Orwell George 132 ₪If there is one man to whom I do feel myself inferior, it is a coalminer.In the mid-1930s, George Orwell was given an assignment from his publisher — to write a book about unemployment and social conditions in the economically depressed north of England. Revolutionary for its time, The Road to Wigan Pier documents Orwell’s stint in towns likes Barnsley, Sheffield and Wigan in 1936, where he met and observed working-class people living in the bleak industrial heartlands of Yorkshire and Lancashire.Orwell graphically and emphatically describes the hardships of ordinary people living in cramped slum housing, working in dangerous mines and growing hungry through malnutrition and social injustice. It is an honest, gripping and humane study that also looks at socialism as a solution to the problems facing working-class northerners — something many readers at the time were uncomfortable discussing.The Road to Wigan Pier cemented ideas that would be found in Orwell’s later works, and remains a powerful portrait of poverty, injustice and class divisions in Britain to this day.
