Àííîòàöèÿ: This book presents itself as a survey, from the first to the latest, of English-Canadian poetry. The book differs from previous Penguin Anthology, the earlier poets more solidly represented, the periods better balanced. This revised edition, coinciding with Canada's own Centennial, presents a surney of the work done in English by Canadian poets during the past one hundred years.

Àííîòàöèÿ: Love and Liberty or The Jolly Beggars was a unique effort by Robert Burns. He did nothing similar to it ever again, and indeed, if he is to be believed, thought so little of it that he forgot its very existence. And yet it is surely one of the finest flowerings of his poetic genius.

Àííîòàöèÿ: In this two-volume edition, which contains Wordsworth's complete works the editor has returned, in compliance with Wordsworth's own wishes, to the final copy of the texts to be prepared in the poet's lifetime. The poems, arranged in chronological order so that Wordsworth's developing interests in themes and forms clearly emerge, are illuminated by the editor's extensive notes and the Preface to the Lyrical Ballads, which forms one part of the Appendixes.

Àííîòàöèÿ: Linked by the mysterious binding power of nomenclature, Paul Hammer and Eliot Nailles are nonetheless violently opposite. Nailles, a chemist dedicated to the elimination of bad breath, is strictly monogamous and, apparently, an exemplary father to his teenage son Tony. Hammer is the illegitimate son of a socialist kleptomaniac, and certainly not the scrubbed and decent citizen he seems...When the two men are viewed together as halved of the overburdened American psyche, John Cheever's satirical etching of small-town American life begins to take on a lethal new dimension.

Àííîòàöèÿ: Set against the religious struggles and civil wars of seventeenth century Scotland, John Buchan's Witch Wood is a gripping atmospheric tale in the spirit of Stevenson and Neil Munro.As a moderate presbyterian minister, young David Sempill disputes with the extremists of his faith, as all around, the defeated remnants of Montrose's men are being harried and slaughtered.There are still older conflicts to be faced however, symbolised by the presence of the Melanudrigall Wood, a last remnant of the ancient Caledonian forest. Here there is black magic to be uncovered, but also the more positive pre-Christian intimations of nature worship.In such setting, and faced with the onset of the plague, David Sempill's struggle and eventual disappearance take on a strange and timeless aspect in what was John Buchan's own favourite among his many novels.

Àííîòàöèÿ: Richard Hannay narrates, feels old. Teen son Peter John helps keep his promise in Rhodesia a quarter century before, to help Haraldsen, successful Danish gold-mining speculator. His son calls on Hanney and Lombard. Gang led by the son of his father's enemy Troth, tries to frighten Haraldsen into surrendering clue and right to father's discovery of wealth in the Far East.With the help of Lord Clanroyden and falcon Morag, Haraldsen and his daughter on their Island of Sheep outwit enemies. Haraldsen gains more than material riches. He discovers himself, and throws off the diffidence and nervousness that helped his enemies at first.

Àííîòàöèÿ: A teenage girl makes friends with a proud old Cornishman who, after his wife's death, stays on alone in the house they had shared, only needing someone to share his memories with.

Àííîòàöèÿ: ... there is within every human being a deep well of thinking over which a heavy iron lid is kept clamped. Winesburg, Ohio (1919) is Sherwood Anderson's masterpiece, a cycle of short stories concerning life in a small Ohio town at the end of the nineteenth century. At the centre is George Willard, a young reporter who becomes the confidant of the town's `grotesques' - solitary figures unable to communicate with others. George is their conduit for expression and solace from loneliness, but he has his own longings which eventually draw him away from home to seek a career in the city. He carries with him the dreams and unuttered words of remarkable characters such as Wing Biddlebaum, the disgraced former teacher, and the story-telling Doctor Parcival. The book has influenced many American writers, including Ernest Hemingway, William Faulkner, John Updike, Raymond Carver, and Joyce Carol Oates. It reshaped the development of the modern short story, turning the genre away from an emphasis upon plot towards a capability for illuminating the emotional lives of ordinary people. This new edition corrects errors in earlier editions and takes into account major criticism and textual scholarship of the last several decades

Àííîòàöèÿ: The molecular evidence has not had popular exposure and this book will do a lot to correct the imbalance...many people will be enthralled.

Àííîòàöèÿ: The newspapers dubbed the thief the 'Mad Hatter,' and his outrageous pranks amused all London. but the laughter turned to horror when a corpse with a crossbow through the heart was found at the Tower of London in a top hat.As Dr. Gideon Fell was to discover, the whole case turned on the matter of hats-- in fact, threatened to become a nightmare of hats. For the victim was none other than Sir William Bitton's nephew, dressed in a golfing suit and wearing Sir William's stolen opera hat. And tying Sir William to his murdered nephew with a scarlet thread was the stolen manuscript of a completely unknown story said to be the handiwork of Edgar Allan Poe.In a tale as freighted with menace as the Traitor's Gate, portly Dr. Fell unravels a crime unique by even his standards of the bizarre

Àííîòàöèÿ: Kush - the imaginary African nation of John Updike's wildly inventive tale - is a large, land-locked, drough-ridden territory whose ruler, one Colonel Hakim Felix Ellelou, has four wives, a silver Mercedes, and a fanatic aversion to all things American. The United States, however, won't leave Kush alone, which annoys the good colonel no end - and makes for a novel of extraordinary humour and passion, a brilliant work of the imagination from one of our finest storytellers.

Àííîòàöèÿ: Anna Maxwell - a glamorous New York socialite, married to an eminent art-dealer. Janet Taylor - an English medic learning the secrets of Oriental healing in Malaya, her lover a Chinese communist on the run. Genevieve Fleury - a morphine addict and retired courtesan, running a highly exclusive finishing school in Switzerland. Yet these three women, divided by oceans, were forever linked by a past begun in the teeming Warsaw ghetto, and by the daring mission that freed them from its horrors. They were also linked by Janna, the bastard child of the beautiful gypsy, Keja. Janna, adopted by Anna, educated by Genevieve, fostered by Janet. Janna, who fell in love with the ruthless and seductive Derek. Janna, who unknowingly carried the seeds of destruction. With her stalked a shadow poised to strike them all down in pursuit of some inscrutable revenge...

Àííîòàöèÿ: The Pearl, an old Mexican folk tale, is deeply moving story of the great pearl, how it discovered, and how it - along with the dreams it represented - was lost. It is the story, too, of a family - the special solidarity of a man, a woman, and their child. The Red Pony, set on a ranch in the California mountains, is the story of the joy and sorrow a young boy finds in his responsibility for his horse. The memorable characters include the boy's impatient father; his grandfather, once "the leader of the people"; and the hired hand whom the boy believes to be invincible.

Àííîòàöèÿ: Here are the hard-hitting dispatches that John Steinbeck wrote from England, Africa, and Italy at the height of World War II. "Steinbeck was not interested in strategy and generals, but in the soldiers, Gl or lieutenant, and what they did," said the Chicago Tribune. " No one has ever excelled him in this field. If you have forgotten what war was like, Steinbeck will refresh you. Age can never dull this kind writing."
