Àííîòàöèÿ: The literature of World War II has emerged as an accomplished, moving, and challenging body of work, produced by writers as different as Norman Mailer and Virginia Woolf, Primo Levi and Ernest Hemingway, Jean-Paul Sartre and W. H. Auden. This Companion provides a comprehensive overview of the international literatures of the war: both those works that recorded or reflected experiences of the war as it happened, and those that tried to make sense of it afterwards. It surveys the writing produced in the major combatant nations (Britain and the Commonwealth, the USA, Japan, Germany, France, Italy, and the USSR), and explores its common themes. With its chronology and guide to further reading, it will be an invaluable source of information and inspiration for students and scholars of modern literature and war studies.

Àííîòàöèÿ: When all sorts of favourite authors like Joan Aiken, John Christopher, Helen Cresswell, Peter Dickinson, Jill Paton Walsh, Ivan Southall, and lots of others who are marvellous storytellers themselves, choose their own favourite stories by other writers, the result is bound to be really special, and this book certainly is. Animal stories, funny stories, magical stories, historical stories, or science fiction, whatever you like, there's something here for you to enjoy and to lead you in to other kinds you may not have before.

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.
