Àííîòàöèÿ: The short stories in this volume deal with Scott's favorite themes: the Highlands and Lowlands of Scotland, historical change, the supernatural, and language. From the stark tragedy of "The Two Drovers" to the chilling and comic portrayal of the supernatural in "Wandering Willie's Tale," these stories provide a natural starting point for those unacquainted with Scott's work as well as those who love his novels.

Àííîòàöèÿ: The time is May, 1810, deep into the Napoleonic Wars. Hornblower, newly in command of his first ship of the line is on his way to Spain with a ragtag, brutish crew. All their seamanship and all of Hornblower s ingenuity are demanded when the Sutherland takes on four French men-of-war.

Àííîòàöèÿ: A crazy, breathless, steam-powered adventure of the First World War. C.S. Forester is at his most entertaining in this story of the missionary woman and the Cockney mechanic marooned in German Central Africa. As they fight their ramshackle old launch downriver to strike a blow for England. the African Queen seems to breathe the spirit of Hornblower himself.

Àííîòàöèÿ: This famous collection of letters shows the growth of this legend in all its aspects:the dedicated writer, full of lively concern for the work of his contemporaries, dominates his uninhibited correspondence with Ernest Hemingway, Edmund Wilson, John Peale Bishop and Maxwell Perkins, his publisher and confidant. The genius wracked by failure and domestic tragedy is revealed in his searing letters to his daughter and to his wife, Zelda. Others, such as the extraordinary letters to Gerald and Sarah Murphy, who were so imoirtant in the shaping of Tender is the night, show specific influences on his work

Àííîòàöèÿ: Encompassing the very best of F. Scott Fitzgerald's short fiction, this collection spans his career, from the early stories of the glittering Jazz Age, through the lost hopes of the thirties, to the last, twilight decade of his life. It brings together his most famous stories, including 'The Diamond as Big as the Ritz', a fairy tale of unlimited wealth; the sad and hilarious stories of Hollywood hack Pat Hobby; and 'The Lost Decade', written in Fitzgerald's last years.

Àííîòàöèÿ: Special English is a series providing instruction in English as a foreign language for students with specialized interests...

Àííîòàöèÿ: The Penguin Dictionary of Building can claim to be the only inexpensive work of its kind in print.This dictionary will certainly have a wide appeal, since the terms included refer to the people, materials and methods of traditional and modern-building, rather than massive civil engineering structures of earth, concrete, steel etc.

Àííîòàöèÿ: The Penguin Dictionary of Building can claim to be the only inexpensive work of its kind in orint, and a useful handbook to have with you on the job. The entries, ranging from foundations and footings to the fixin of roof tiles, cover bricklaying, joinery, plastering, brazing, soldering, plumbing, shoring, lightweight concrete work, and the fixing of doore and windows, among explanations of a host of other processes, tools and materials. Many of the new terms added in this Third Edition are of especial interest to DIY house-owners who want to find out about damp-proofing and plumbing, for example, or double glazing and security. There are also some extra terms particularly relevant to the student and professional builder, and the dictionary is now illustrated throughout with clear explanatory line drawings.

Àííîòàöèÿ: This book presents itself as a survey, from the first to the latest, of English-Canadian poetry.

Àííîòàöèÿ: April 1803, and the Peace of Amiens is failing as Horatio Hornblower takes a three-master on a vital reconnaissance mission...

With thoughts of his new life as a husband intruding on his duties, Hornblower must prove himself to be not only the most capable commander in the fleet, but also its most daring if he is to stop the French gaining the upper hand.

Àííîòàöèÿ: Born in a mock-gothic castle to a charismatic charlatan and a beautiful heiress, Justina's idyllic Victorian childhood was only distantly shadowed by the Boer War. But her golden youth spent on the coast of Scotland and in the great houses of Ireland, was soon to be shattered by the urgent realities of the Twentieth Century. Justina and her generation dreamt of love, of fame, of fulfilment: but violence loomed - first in France, in 1914, then in Dublin in 19 19. An artist, a feminist, a woman of passion and pride, Justina Bride Melrose's story mirrors the story of modern European history... Alison Scott Skelton brilliantly portrays an indomitable woman's search for truth, honour and greatness as the guns boom - and innocence fails.
