Tales of Unease - Doyle Arthur

Wordsworth / Classics
Полный, неадаптированный текст произведения.
This book is selected and with an introduction by David Stuart Davies. In these twilight excursions, Doyle’s vivid imagination for the strange, the grotesque and the frightening is given full rein. We move from the mysteries of Egypt and the strange powers granted by The Ring of Thoth to the isolated ghostlands of the Arctic in «The Captain of the Polestar»; we encounter a monstrous creature in «The Terror of Blue John Cap» and the beings that live above our head in «The Brazilian Cat and The Leather Funnel»; and we shudder at the thing in the next room in «Lot 249».

Austen Jane — Persuasion, 2004 год

Persuasion - Austen Jane

Wordsworth / Classics
Полный, неадаптированный текст произведения.
What does persuasion mean — a firm belief, or the action of persuading someone to think something else? Anne Elliot is one of Austen’s quietest heroines, but also one of the strongest and the most open to change. She lives at the time of the Napoleonic wars, a time of accident, adventure, the making of new fortunes and alliances.
A woman of no importance, she manoeuvres in her restricted circumstances as her long-time love Captain Wentworth did in the wars. Even though she is nearly thirty, well past the sell-by bloom of youth, Austen makes her win out for herself and for others like herself, in a regenerated society.

Shakespeare William — Hamlet. На английском языке, 2005 год

Hamlet. На английском языке - Shakespeare William

Wordsworth / Classics
Полный, неадаптированный текст произведения.
The Wordsworth Classics’ Shakespeare Series presents a newly-edited sequence of William Shakespeare’s works. The textual editing takes account of recent scholarship while giving the material a careful reappraisal.
Hamlet is not only one of Shakespeare’s greatest plays but also the most fascinatingly problematic tragedy in world literature.
First performed around 1600, this is a gripping and exuberant drama of revenge, rich in contrasts and conflicts. Its violence alternates with introspection, its melancholy with humor, and its subtlety with spectacle. The Prince, Hamlet himself, is depicted as a complex, divided, introspective character. His reflections on death, morality and the very status of human beings make him ‘the first modern man’.

Twain Mark — Tom Sawyer & Huckleberry Finn. На английском языке, 1995 год

Tom Sawyer & Huckleberry Finn. На английском языке - Twain Mark

Wordsworth / Classics
Полный, неадаптированный текст произведения.
Tom Sawyer, a shrewd and adventurous boy, is as much at home in the respectable world of his Aunt Polly as in the self-reliant and parentless world of his friend Huck Finn. The two enjoy a series of adventures, accidentally witnessing a murder, establishing the innocence of the man wrongly accused, as well as being hunted by Injun Joe, the true murderer, eventually escaping and finding the treasure that Joe had buried.
«Huckleberry Finn» recounts the further adventures of Huck, who runs away from a drunken and brutal father, and meets up with the escaped slave Jim. They float down the Mississippi on a raft, participating in the lives of the characters they meet, witnessing corruption, moral decay and intellectual impoverishment.
Sharing so much in background and character, these two stories, the best of Twain, indisputably belong together in one volume. Though originally written as adventure stories for young people, the vivid writing provides a profound commentary on provincial American life in the mid-nineteenth century and the institution of slavery.

Romeo fnd Juliet - Shakespeare William

Wordsworth / Classics
Полный, неадаптированный текст произведения.
Love, sex and death are the components of Shakespeare’s classic story of the love of two young people which reaches across the barriers of family and convention. It encompasses great love, high drama, low comedy and a tragic ending.
«Romeo and Juliet» is a pure tragedy of youth told in verse that is both youthful and intense. The loveliness and the music of the poetry make believable the otherwise commonplace afflictions of blighted love. The beautiful personification of some of the main characters has caused Romeo, Juliet, Mercutio and the Nurse to become part of the world’s literary mythology.
