Описание: It is universally acknowledged that Leo Tolstoy, author of War and Peace and Anna Karenina, was as much a master of the short story as of the full-length novel. This original collection, which features some of his most hard-to-find tales, will enchant longtime enthusiasts of Tolstoy's work as well as new readers. The Forged Coupon traces how an act of deception leads to both murder and redemption. After the Dance depicts an army deserter's punishment and explores the subjective nature of opinions on good and evil. Alyosha the Pot profiles a simple man content to live according to others' expectations. A Prisoner in the Caucasus undermines the romantic conceptions associated with the region in particular and with war in general. The Bear Hunt forms a cautionary tale of acting in anger; Two Old Men suggests that the best way to honor God is to love and care for other people; additional stories include The Raid, The Snow-Storm, and The Godson.
Описание: This outstanding collection of more than 30 brilliant short stories — each just six or fewer pages in length — includes such popular tales as Kafka's "A Country Doctor," Poe's "The Cask of Amontillado," Chopin's "A Pair of Silk Stockings," plus works by Dickens, O. Henry, Chekhov, Wilde, and many others.

Описание:
Miss Marple: The Complete Short Stories gathers together in one magnificent volume all of Agatha Christie's short stories featuring her beloved intrepid investigator, Miss Marple. It's an unparalleled compendium of murder, mayhem, mystery, and detection that represents some of the finest short form fiction in the crime fiction field, and is an essential omnibus for Christie fans.
Described by her friend Dolly Bantry as "the typical old maid of fiction," Miss Marple has lived almost her entire life in the sleepy hamlet of St. Mary Mead. Yet, by observing village life she has gained an unparalleled insight into human nature--and used it to devastating effect. As her friend Sir Henry Clithering, the ex-Commissioner of Scotland Yard, has been heard to say: "She's just the finest detective God ever made"--and many Agatha Christie fans would agree.

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. Ideal for students of Russian literature, this magnificent collection will appeal to a wide audience.
