Àííîòàöèÿ: Felicity Lawrence's Sunday Times bestseller Not on the Label, updated with extraordinary new material on the horsemeat scandal In 2004 Felicity Lawrence published her ground-breaking book, Not on the Label, where, in a series of undercover investigations she provided a shocking account of what really goes into the food we eat. She discovered why beef waste ends up in chicken, why a single lettuce might be sprayed six times with chemicals before it ends up in our salad, why bread is full of water. And she showed how obesity, the appalling conditions of migrant workers, ravaged fields in Europe and the supermarket on our high street are all intimately connected. Her discoveries would change the way we thought about the UK food industry for ever...

Àííîòàöèÿ: The colossus among critics (New York Times Magazine) presents his personal selection, with commentary, of the finest poems in the English language. An anthology of poems which attempts to give readers the possession of six centuries of great British and American poetry.

Àííîòàöèÿ: ...it is an universal phenomenon of our nature that the mournful, the fearful, even the horrible, allures with irresistible enchantment. - Chaucer Burr, Memoir, 1850. The Wordsworth Book of Horror Stories is a superb collection of some of the greatest tales of the genre, many are classics while others are lesser-known gems unearthed from this vintage era of the supernatural

Àííîòàöèÿ: What does it feel like to be a child? Learning how to negotiate with the unpredictable adult world, learning how to pick a path through life's traps and hazards, learning when the time has come to put away childish things. The writers of these short stories show us the world as seen from the far side of the child-adult divide, a gap that is sometimes small, and sometimes an unbridgeable chasm. This collection contains stories by John Updike, Graham Greene, William Boyd, Susan Hill, D. H. Lawrence, Saki, Penelope Lively, Bernard MacLaverty, Frank Tuohy and Morley Callaghan.

Àííîòàöèÿ: `I tell you I have written a great book/// Read my novel, it is a great novel`, Lawrence declared shortly before Sons and Lovers was published in 1913. Drqwing on his own Childhood and asolescence, Lawrence depicts the early married life of the Morels - the father a hardworking, hard - drinking Nottinghamshire coal miner, the mother a refined woman of middle - class aspitations. Born into the family battle, their son Pau Vorel initially takes his mother`s part, until in adolescence he meets and falls in love with a young girl, Miriam, and discovers a new conflict of loyalties. Sons and Lovers portrays the sexual and emotional struggle of Paul Morel, caught benween the women he attempts to love, and in it D.H.Lawrence transforms autobiography into art

Àííîòàöèÿ: Women in Love is, however, a profound response to a whole cultural crisis. The "progress" of the modern industrialized world had led to the carnage of the First World War. What, then, did it mean to call ourselves "human"? On what grounds could we place ourselves above and beyond the animal world? What are the definitive forms of our relationships - love, marriage, family, friendship - really worth? And how might they be otherwise?

Àííîòàöèÿ: This collection now contains 175 poems by 86 poets and ranges chronologically from W.B.Yeats to Geoffrey Hill.The character of the anthology can be simply indicated.It is a representative collection of English verse written between 1918 and 1960.The present collection, which was first published under the title THE PENGUIN BOOK OF CONTEMPORARY VERSE in 1950 and has been frequently reprinted, has been widely acclaimed and remains one of the best known and most constantly used anthologies of modern poetry to have appeared

Àííîòàöèÿ: Written during the winter of 1929-30 and his last major work, Apocalypse is Lawrence s radical criticism of the political, religious and social structures that have shaped Western civilization. In his view the perpetual conflict within man, in which emotion, instinct and the senses vie with the intellect and reason, has resulted in society s increasing alienation from the natural world. Yet Lawrence s belief in humanity's power to regain the imaginative and spiritual values which alone can revitalize our world also makes Apocalypse a powerful statement of hope. Presenting his thoughts on psychology, science, politics, art, God and man, and including a fierce protest against Christianity, Apocalypse is Lawrence s last testament, his final attempt to convey his vision of man and of the cosmos.
