"It is the history of a revolution that went wrong - and of the excellent excuses that were forthcoming at every step for the perversion of the original doctrine, wrote Orwell for the first edition of Animal Farm in 1945. Orwell wrote the novel at the end of 1943, but it almost remained unpublished. Its savage attack on Stalin, at that time Britain's ally, led to the book being refused by publisher after publisher. Orwell 's simple, tragic fable, telling what happens when the animals drive out Mr Jones and attempt to run the farm themselves, has since become a world-famous classic." The Authoritative ... |

"In Genesis, my camera allowed nature to speak to me. And it was my privilege to listen." Sebastiao Salgado On a very fortuitous day in 1970, 26-year-old Sebastião Salgado held a camera for the first time. When he looked through the viewfinder, he experienced a revelation: suddenly life made sense. From that day onward - though it took years of hard work before he had the experience to earn his living as a photographer - the camera became his tool for interacting with the world. Salgado, who "always preferred the chiaroscuro palette of black-and-white images," shot very little color in his early ... |

"Фермата на животните" е алегоричен роман, който излиза през 1945 г. и цели да алармира западния свят за опасността от тоталитарния режим на съветския лидер Йосиф Сталин. Тук специално е включен предговорът на Оруел, който отпада от оригиналното издание, защото показва с какви трудности се среща творба, насочена срещу победоносния в този момент Съветски съюз. Също както в "1984", другия пророчески роман на Оруел, така и тук големият британски писател е сред малцината, които съзират ясно истината зад пропагандата и предупреждават за заплахата, която всяко тоталитарно управление представлява за ... |

Две гениални пророчества съдържа комплект от две книги - 1984 и Фермата на животните. ... Фермата на животните И в света на животните, и в този на хората се случва свинете да вземат властта. И тогава тежко на тревопасните, преживните и пасивните. Предшестващ с 4 години появата на другия шедьовър на Оруел, антиутопията "1984", този приказен роман е блестяща сатира на всяко общество, което позволи да го яхнат арогантни и безмилостни типове. Препратките към конкретни исторически събития са ясни, по-важно е обаче да се проследи как се е стигнало до тях. Язвителна и умна, пестелива и прецизна в обрисовката на ... |

"The Third Chimpanzee" was first published in 1991 and has been in print ever since. This new, illustrated edition is aimed at a young readership. In it, Jared Diamond explores what makes us human and poses fascinating questions. If we share more than 98% of our DNA with chimpanzees, how is it that we can write, read, talk, build telescopes and bombs, while we put our speechless and bomb-less close relatives in cages and zoos? What can woodpeckers teach us about spacecraft? Is genocide a human invention? Why does extinction matter? Why are we destroying the natural resources on which we depend for survival? ... |

When Buck is smuggled from his beloved home in the Santa Clara Valley and forced to work as a sled-dog in the frozen wilderness of the Yukon, he must forget the long, lazy Californian days and face a life of constant toil and danger under the whip of cruel or inept masters, where survival itself must be fought for. But with his primal instincts stirred, how long can Buck resist the call of the wild? Set at the time of the Klondike Gold Rush, The Call of the Wild is one of the greatest evocations of the natural world, and perhaps the best example of London's famously urgent and vivid style. Contains: Extra material ... |
