Àííîòàöèÿ: Tim White—s paintings give shape to the fantastic, to the might-have-been and what-still-could-happen. With its frequently optimistic tone and obsessive attention to detail, White—s art offers a convincing landscape of the imagi-nation. —A collection of White—s vivid commercial works spanning a decade....the captivating paintings that transport the viewer from the outwardly familiar to the alien skies.—

Àííîòàöèÿ: William Hale White (1831-1913) was a product of the strong Protestant tradition of Bedford's Old Meeting, the chapel associated with John Bunyan, but while studying for the ministry in a Dissenting theological college, he was expelled for heresy.

Àííîòàöèÿ: There are five Aysgill children, but when their father dies, a way of life dies with him. The surging power of the Industrial Revolution forces them and thousand like them off the land and into the teeming life of the city. This is the compelling story of how the Aysgills follow their separate destinies, yet still remain a family; a story of ambition and innocence, of passion and pride, of bitter despair and soaring success.

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: From "the coming of the English" into the Romanized province of Britain (traditionally dated to the year 449) to the Norman Conquest of 1066, it was the Anglo-Saxons who controlled the territory of England. In this book, the author draws on a range of evidence to offer an analysis of their way of life. She examines the basic structures of society - the hierarchy descending from the King, his court and the noblemen to the churls and slaves - the systems of administration and law and the role and organization of the Church. Britain may have been at the edge of the civilized world, yet the Anglo-Saxons produced a distinguished body of literature, Latin and vernacular, and many important works of art.

Àííîòàöèÿ: The present collection, which was first published in 1950 and has been reprinted seventeen times, has been widely acclaimed and remains one of the best known and most constantly used anthologies of modern poetry to have appeared.

Àííîòàöèÿ: The plot of this novel is of epic simplicity: in 1845 Voss sets out with a small band to cross the Australian continent for the first time. The tragic story of their terrible journey and its inevitable end is told with imaginative understanding.The figure of Voss takes on superhuman proportions, until he appears to those around him as both deliverer and destroyer. His relationship with Laura Trevelyan is the central personal theme of the story. The true record of Ludwig Leichardt, who died in the Australian desert in 1848, suggested Voss to the author.

Àííîòàöèÿ: Cora is a slave on a cotton plantation in Georgia. Life is hell for all the slaves, but especially bad for Cora; an outcast even among her fellow Africans, she is coming into womanhood-where even greater pain awaits. When Caesar, a recent arrival from Virginia, tells her about the Underground Railroad, they decide to take a terrifying risk and escape. Matters do not go as planned-Cora kills a young white boy who tries to capture her. Though they manage to find a station and head north, they are being hunted. In Whitehead—s ingenious conception, the Underground Railroad is no mere metaphor-engineers and conductors operate a secret network of tracks and tunnels beneath the Southern soil. Cora and Caesar—s first stop is South Carolina, in a city that initially seems like a haven. But the city s placid surface masks an insidious scheme designed for its black denizens. And even worse: Ridgeway, the relentless slave catcher, is close on their heels. Forced to flee again, Cora embarks on a harrowing flight, state by state, seeking true freedom. Like the protagonist of Gulliver s Travels, Cora encounters different worlds at each stage of her journey-hers is an odyssey through time as well as space. As Whitehead brilliantly re-creates the unique terrors for black people in the pre—Civil War era, his narrative seamlessly weaves the saga of America from the brutal importation of Africans to the unfulfilled promises of the present day. The Underground Railroad is at once a kinetic adventure tale of one woman—s ferocious will to escape the horrors of bondage and a shattering, powerful meditation on the history we all share.
