Àííîòàöèÿ: The fifth volume of Poets of the English Language brings together the most representative poets of two latter-day groups. In style and craftsmanship the poetry of the last half of the nineteenth century and first part of the twentieth extended, developed, and refined the discoveries of the early Romantics.

Àííîòàöèÿ: 147 poets in a far-ranging survey of the Victorian age s significant poetic achievements. The pleasures of Victorian poetry lie in its multitude of lyric and dramatic voices and, above all, in its rhythmic power and subtlety. Nowhere else can these reading pleasures be better enjoyed than in the pages of Daniel Karlin s enormous selection of poetry written and published during the reign of Queen Victoria (1837-1901). Ranging from the late Romantic period to the brink of high modernism, The Penguin Book of Victorian Verse features a generous sampling of poems.

Àííîòàöèÿ: Als Krissie, Sarah und Kyle auf einer Zelttour durch die schottischen Highlands mal richtig abschalten wollen, geht alles schief: Krissie und Kyle stürzen sich Halsüber Kopf in eine Affäre und Sarah von einem Felsen. Doch das ist erst der Anfang eines Höllentrips, bei dem nichts so bleibt, wie es gewesen ist.

Àííîòàöèÿ: This anthology presents over 170 poems by the major poets of the 19th century, including Alfred, Lord Tennyson, Robert Browning, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Arthur Hugh Clough, Edward FitzGerald, Matthew Arnold, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, Christina Rossetti, Rudyard Kipling, and many others. An introduction and brief biographical notes on the poets are included

Àííîòàöèÿ: Published in 1922, the eleven Tales of the Jazz Age feature the flappers and lost young men of the period as well as a great variety of characters and scenes. Among them, the critically acclaimed novella "May Day" contrasts drunken debutantes with a mob of war veterans battling socialists in the streets, "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button", filmed with Brad Pitt, Cate Blanchett and Tilda Swinton, is a fantasy about a man who ages in reverse, and "A Diamond as Big as the Ritz" is a surreal fable of excess

Àííîòàöèÿ: The parties at Gatsby's Long Island mansion were legendarily glamorous affairs. Yet amid the throng of guests, starlets and champagne waiters, their host would appear oddly aloof. For there was only one person Jay Gatsby sought to impress. She was Daisy Buchanan: married, elegant, seducing men with a silken charisma and `a voice... full of money`. As Gatsby pursues shady deals and his doomed obsession with Daisy, F.Scott Fitzgerald distills the essence of the Jazz Age, and probes to the empty heart of the American Dream

Àííîòàöèÿ: As he hangs Hollywood Pat Hobby relives the golden days of his success< and the antics of this seedy, once talented charmer are both hilarious and sad. Told with the author's dry wit and evocative nostalgia Pat Hobby/s story takes on tragic proportions which reflect the ruins of Fitzgerald's own life

Àííîòàöèÿ: This title includes an introduction and notes by Stuart Hutchinson, University of Kent at Canterbury. "The Diamond as Big as the Ritz" is an ominous fable about the pursuit of great wealth. Readers will be transported to a fabulous fantasy land of such opulence that its very existence has to remain a jealously guarded secret. Fatal consequences lie in store for 'bona fide' guests and uninvited visitors alike, while the sybaritic luxury of the place is evoked in an effortless prose style which is quintessentially F. Scott Fitzgerald. Also featured in this volume are "The Cut-Glass Bowl", "May Day", "The Rich Boy", "Crazy Sunday", "An Alcoholic Case", "The Lees of Happiness", "The Lost Decade" and "Babylon Revisited".

Àííîòàöèÿ: Published in 1934, Tender Is the Night was one of the most talked-about books of the year. "It's amazing how excellent much of it is," Ernest Hemingway said to Maxwell Perkins. "I will say now," John O'Hara wrote Fitzgerald, "Tender Is the Night is in the early stages of being my favorite book, even more than This Side of Paradise." And Archibald MacLeish exclaimed: "Great God, Scott...You are a fine writer. Believe it -- not me." Set on the French Riviera in the late 1920s, Tender Is the Night is the tragic romance of the young actress Rosemary Hoyt and the stylish American couple Dick and Nicole Diver. A brilliant young psychiatrist at the time of his marriage, Dick is both husband and doctor to Nicole, whose wealth goads him into a lifestyle not his own, and whose growing strength highlights Dick's harrowing demise. A profound study of the romantic concept of character -- lyrical, expansive, and hauntingly evocative -- Tender Is the Night, Mabel Dodge Luhan remarked, raised F. Scott Fitzgerald to the heights of "a modern Orpheus."

Àííîòàöèÿ: First published in 1922, The Beautiful and the Damned followed Fitzgerald's impeccable debut, This Side of Paradise, thus securing his place in the tradition of great American novelists. Embellished with the author's lyrical prose, here is the story of Harvard-educated, aspiring aeshete Anthony Patch and his beautiful wife, Gloria. As they await the inheritance of his grandfather's fortune, their reckless marriage sways under the influence of alcohol and avarice. A devastating look at the nouveaux riches and New York nightlife, as well as the ruinous effects wild ambiion, The Beautiful and the Damned achieved stature as one of Fitzgerzld's most accomplished novels. Its distinction as a classic endures to this day. Pocket Book's Enriched Classics present the great works of world literature enhaced for the contemporary reader. Special features include critical perspectives, suggestions for further read, and a unique visual essay composed of period photographs that help bring every word to life

Àííîòàöèÿ: The 24 stories in this volume all bear the unmistakable stamp of Fitzgerald's genius, and make wonderfully entertaining reading.
