Aesop's Fables
Жанр: CRW Publishing Год: 2014 Страниц: 272 Дата загрузки: 14 апреля 20182019-08-03
|
|
This timeless collection brings together three hundred of the most enduringly popular of Aesop fables in a collection that will delight young and old readers alike. Here are all the age-old favourites — the wily fox, the vain peacock, the predatory cat and steady tortoise — just as endearingly vivid and relevant now as they were for their very first audience. While their lifespan over several millennia marks them out as one of the most enduring staples of world literature, they have also been the inspiration for countless other forms of narrative in various languages. For all their entertainment value — this is a world where even a lamp and the moon can speak, and mice taunt bulls — they have also come to be fondly regarded as a playful compendium of secular wisdom.

Barchester Towers
Автор: Trollope Anthony Жанр: CRW Publishing Год: 2013 Страниц: 688 Дата загрузки: 15 июня 20152018-08-14
|
|
Trollope's comic masterpiece of plotting and backstabbing opens as the Bishop of Barchester lies on his deathbed. Soon a pitched battle breaks out over who will take power, involving, among others, the zealous reformer Dr Proudie, his fiendish wife and the unctuous schemer Obadiah Slope, the smooth Archdeacon Grantly and his father-in-law, the saintly Mr Harding. Barchester Towers is one of Trollope's best-loved novels and captures nineteenth-century provincial England with wit, worldly wisdom and an unparalleled gift for characterisation.

Black Beauty
Автор: Sewell Anna Жанр: CRW Publishing Год: 2008 Страниц: 240 Дата загрузки: 22 марта 20112011-02-19
|
|
Black Beauty tells the story of the horse's own long and varied life, from a well-born colt in a pleasant meadow, to an elegant carriage horse for a gentleman, to a painfully overworked cab horse. Throughout, Sewell rails — in a gentle, nineteenth-century manner — against animal maltreatment. Young readers will follow Black Beauty's fortunes, good and bad, with gentle masters as well as cruel. Children can easily make the leap from horse-human relationships to human-human relationships, and begin to understand how their own consideration of others may be a benefit to all.

Cider with Rosie is the first part of the poet Laurie Lee's (1914-1997) autobiographical trilogy. It describes his life in the Gloucestershire village of Slad from his earliest years until he was twenty. He tells of thin winters, fat summers, local legends and ghosts, of neighbours and relations, and of growing up against a half-pagan landscape in which violence and madness, country follies and feasts were all part of one pastoral mess-pot.

Madame Bovary is the story of a beautiful young woman who marries a luckless country doctor. She tries to escape the narrow confines of her life through a series of passionate affairs, hoping to find in other men the romantic ideal she always dreamed about.
