Influential and innovative, James Joyce (1882 - 1941) led the vanguard of 20th-century fiction. Sooner or later, most undergraduates encounter him, and many scholars devote their entire careers to his exuberantly eloquent prose. Joyce's experimental use of language and stream-of-consciousness techniques continues to captivate modern readers and writers, and this anthology offers a first-rate introduction to the Irish author's fiction and poetry. "A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man", Joyce's coming-of-age novel, appears here in its entirety. Readers will also find the complete texts of the ... |

Това е история, в която привидно нищо не се случва: трима души в Ерусалим обитават обща порутена къща – прекъснал следването си студент революционер, разочарована от мъжете привлекателна вдовица и прикован на легло учител по история. Но в къщата живеят и призраци – на Юда, на Исус, на починалия съпруг, на низвергнатия баща, на предадения син. Това е история за любовта – за невъзможната любов, за силата на любовта, за предателството на любовта и за любовта, която променя дори онези, които отказват да се променят. История от зимата на 1959 година, в която има заблуди и страст, несподелена любов и един религиозен въпрос, ... |

"Стихосбирката на Мария Лалева Благословете Юда предварително е обречена на успех. За тези, които живеят със стиховете ѝ от Личен архив и Не съм ви ближна е единствено нетърпението да прочетат продължението на извечните теми, които Мария интерпретира по своя темпераментен и нетрадиционен начин, далеч от плачливите напъни и декларативни недомислици, извън общоприетите тълкувания на света около нас в неговата библейска предначертаност и ежедневните възторзи и падения. Лалева отдавна се е превърнала в запазена марка в съвременната ни литература. Тя има не само собствен ритъм и собствени рими, притежава ... |

В сборника са включени разкази на писателя, които са посветени на евангелски събития. Общото между тях, наред с тематиката и високото художествено майсторство, е нестандартният подход на автора към отдавна превърналите се в клишета евангелски образи на предателя и на чудодейно възкръсналия. Юда Искариот е вероятно най-впечатляващото произведение на Андреев, което не оставя читателя безразличен, тъй като в него се предлагат отговори на редица въпроси от психологическо, философско и дори езотерично естество, които не винаги съвпадат с популярните трактовки. Включените в този сборник разкази на Леонид Андреев ще събудят ... |

James Joyce's astonishing masterpiece, Ulysses, tells of the diverse events which befall Leopold Bloom and Stephen Dedalus in Dublin on 16 June 1904, during which Bloom's voluptuous wife, Molly, commits adultery.

Eliot and Ernest Hemingway. Scandalously frank, wittily erudite, mercurially eloquent, resourcefully comic and generously humane, Ulysses offers the reader a life-changing experience. ... |
