Àííîòàöèÿ: The short story has become one of the major forms of modern literary expression - in some ways the most modern of them all'. The story of the British short story since the Second World War is one of change and revolution and this powerful and moving collection brilliantly demonstrates the evolution of the form. Containing thirty-four of the most widely regarded postwar British writers, it features tales of love and crime, comedy and the supernatural, the traditional as well as the experimental. This many-storied, many-splendored collection is a brilliant portrait of the generation of writers who have immediately influenced the brightest, sharpest and most intriguing writers who continue to emerge today

Àííîòàöèÿ: The seventies. No decade in Britain's modern political history has been more important, more compelling and more condemned. The seventies saw strikes that destroyed governments, the rise of Margaret Thatcher, the IMF crisis, the three-day week and the Winter of Discontent. Yet the seventies have often been misunderstood and misrepresented. WHEN THE LIGHTS WENT OUT moves beyond the traditional bleak view of the decade and shows the seventies afresh. It includes candid interviews with key political players, many of them now dead, from Edward Heath to Jack Jones to Arthur Scargill. It also unearths the stories of the forgotten figures away from Westminster who gave the period so much of its excitement and significance-from the Gay Liberation Front to the first British environmentalists, from early feminists to hippy anarchists. And it shows a decade full of new possibilities as well as disasters and dead ends. This book tells us what life feels like when politics really matters. It restores to the British seventies their true vividness and complexity. And it casts a new light on the British crisis of today.

Àííîòàöèÿ: Samuel Beckett, the recipient of the 1969 Nobel Prize for Literature and one of the greatest writers of our century, first published these ten short stories in 1934; they originally formed part of an unfinished novel. They trace the career of the first of Beckett—s antiheroes, Belacqua Shuah.Belacqua is a student, a philanderer, and a failure, and Beckett portrays the various aspects of his troubled existence: he studies Dante, attempts an ill-fated courtship, witnesses grotesque incidents in the streets of Dublin, attends vapid parties, endures his marriage, and meets his accidental death. These early stories point to the qualities of precision, restraint, satire, and poetry found in Beckett—s mature works, and reveal the beginning stages of Beckett—s underlying theme of bewilderment in the face of suffering.
