Описание: `Truth uncompromisingly told will always have its ragged edges.' So wrote Melville of Billy Budd, Sailor, among the greatest of his works and, in its richness and ambiguity, among the most problematic. The selection in this volume represents the best of Melville's shorter fiction, and uses the most authoritative texts. The eight shorter tales included here were composed during Melville's years as a magazine writer in the mid 1850's and establish him, along with Hawthorne and Poe, as the greatest American story writer of his age. All show Melville a master of irony, point-of-view, and tone, whose fables ripple out in ever increasing circles of meaning. Bartleby, the Scrivener; Cock-A-Doodle-Doo!; The Fiddler; The Paradise of Bachelors and the Tartarus of Maids; The Lightning-Rod Man; The Encantadas, or Enchanted Isles; Benito Cereno; I and My Chimney; Billy Budd, Sailor (An Inside Narrative).
Описание: When Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm published their Children`s and Household Tales in 1812, followed by a second volume in 1815, they had no idea that such stories as "Rapunzel," "Hansel and Gretel," and "Cinderella" would become the most celebrated in the world. Yet few people today are familiar with the majority of tales from the two early volumes, sinc

Описание: Pudd'nhead Wilson (1894) was Mark Twain's last serious work of fiction, and perhaps the only real novel that he ever produced. Written in a more sombre vein
than his other Mississippi writings, the novel reveals the sinister forces that Mark Twain felt to be threatening the American dream. In spite of a plot which includes child swapping,
palmistry, and a pair of Italian twins, this astringent work also raises the serious issue of racial differences.
This volume also includes two other late works 'Those Extraordinary
Twins' and 'The Man that Corrupted Hadleyburg'.

Описание: Since their first publication in the 1830s and 1840s, Edgar Allan Poe`s extraordinary Gothic tales have established themselves as classics of horror fiction and have also created many of the conventions which still dominate the genre of detective fiction. As well as being highly enjoyable, Poe`s tales are works of very real intellectual exploration. Attentive to the historical and political dimensions of these very American tales, this new selection places the most popular - `The Fall of the House of Usher`, `The Masque of the Red Death`, `The Murders in the Rue Morgue; and `The Purloined Letter` - alongside less well-known travel narratives, metaphysical essays and political satires. MS Found in a Bottle; Berenice; Morella; Ligeia; The Man That Was Used Up; The Fall of the House of Usher; William Wilson; The Man of the Crowd; The Murders in the Rue Morgue; Eleonora; The Masque of the Red Death; The Pit and the Pendulum; The Mystery of Marie Roget; The Tell-Tale Heart; The Gold-Bug; The Black Cat; A Tale of the Ragged Mountains; The Purloined Letter; The Systems of Doctor Tarr and Professor Fether; The Imp of the Perverse; The Cask of Amontillado; The Domain ofArnheim; Hop-Frog; Von Kempelen and his Discovery

Описание: Stevenson`s short novel, published in 1886, became an instant classic. It was a Gothic horror originating in a feverish nightmare, that has thrilled readers ever since. Also included in this edition are a number of short stories and essays of the 1880s and extracts from writings on personality disorder that set the works in their historical context.
