Описание:
One of the most widely read of all American writers, Jack London (1876-1916) based his novels and stories on the experiences and observations of a life that took him from the frozen wilds of the Klondike to the sun-drenched atolls of the South Seas. This volume presents a selection of five of his best stories, each brimming with the energy, color, and drive typical of London's vivid story-telling style. The White Silence, In a Far Country, and An Odyssey of the North are suspenseful tales that bring the harshness of the frozen wilderness of the north powerfully to life. The Seed of McCoy reflects London's experience as a sailor in the South Pacific. The last story, The Mexican, displays London's celebrated talents as a sportswriter in this sympathetic portrayal of a prizefighter working for the success of the Mexican Revolution. Here are five stories that epitomize Jack London's mastery of the adventure story and the compelling prose style that influenced generations of writers.

Описание:
Among the country's greatest artistic contributions, 20th-century Russian literature was revolutionary in its approach to realism, injecting characters with human weaknesses familiar to all. It also provided fodder for other such important concepts as existentialism and even passive resistance, which was rooted in the works of Tolstoy, and practiced resistance, which was rooted in the works of Tolstoy and practiced successfully by Gandhi and Martin Luther King. The 12 powerful short stories in this collection are excellent examples of writing by the foremost authors from Russia's Golden Age of Literature. Included are The Queen of Spades by Alexander Pushkin; The Overcoat by Nikolai Gogol; The District Doctor by Ivan S. Turgenev; White Nights by Fyodor Dostoyevsky; How Much Land Does a Man Need? by Leo Tolstoy; The Clothesmender by Nicholay Leskov; The Signal by Vsevolod M. Garshin; The Lady with the Toy Dog by Anton Chekhov; The White Mother by Theodor Sologub; Twenty-Six Men and a Girl by Maxim Gorky; The Outrage -- A True Story by Alexander Kuprin; and Lazarus by Laonid Andreyev.
