Medieval and Renaissance Poets. Langland to Spenser — 1978 (Poets of the English Language)
Аннотация: The poetry in this volume represents that portion of the great poetry of Christendom that was written in English--at first in Middle English, but soon in our own tongue--from the fourteenth century through most of the sixteenth. Its beginnings in the Middle Ages have special meaningfulness for us today, when we are beset by the need to rediscover the unity that was then felt between man and society, feeling and intellect. In the development of allegory, particularly, we find one of its characteristic modes. Following on through these wide-ranging selections, we get an illuminating view of the pre-Shakespearean poetic temper, when verse was universally the popular medium for instruction and entertainment. In addition to Auden s brilliant introduction to the period, this volume contains a helpful guide to the poems in Middle English, and footnote glossaries of unfamiliar words.

Дайер Д., Влюбиться в Венеции, умереть в Варанаси — 2010
Аннотация: На книге написано, что она удостоена премии Вудхауса — за лучшее юмористическое произведение. Что лишний раз подтверждает несовместимость мою и английского юмора. От английского юмора мне всегда хотелось плакать. Он раскрывал передо мной безнадежную скуку и тоскливый абсурд бытия. Что именно в книге Дайера было квалифицированно как «смешное» — не знаю. Хотя эту книгу лучше прочесть, чем не прочесть. Она необыкновенно насыщенна. Она не занимательна, не содержательна — она именно насыщенна. Чтение этого текста — неспешное, доставляющее почти физическое удовольствие пережевывание чужих впечатлений, поданных настолько ярко и выразительно, что они без всякого усилия со стороны читателя становятся его собственными.

Dyer L.F., More Than a Memory — 1992
Аннотация: It was a summer straight out of a fairy tale. The sultry air of the Iowa nights was laced with the heavy scent of summer roses and the distinctive flavor of lake water. The silvery moon was reflected on the lake as Cole McFadden emerged from the water and found an ebony-haired seductress waiting on the dock. At the age of twenty-five, Cole knew what he wanted from life. No one was going to stop him from becoming one of the top racers in the NASCAR circuit. And nothing was going to keep him from tasting the sweet lips of Melanie Winters, the princess he found waiting at the shore. As long summer days gave way to fragrant nights, they found a love that branded Cole's heart, a love he cherished, until he discovered that the green-eyed seductress was not a senior in college, but a senior in high school. He'd fallen in love with a seventeen-year-old kid! Eight years later, Cole found himself back in Castle Rock, face to face with Melanie. More beautiful than ever, she still hadn't forgiven him for leaving her years ago. How could he convince her that their fairy-tale dreams of the past could have a happy ending at last?
