Complete and unabridged. A pocket sized book - 10 x 15.5 cm. ... The four great comedies of Oscar Wilde, "Lady Windermere's Fan", "A Woman of No Importance", "An Ideal Husband" and "The Importance of Being Earnest", were all written at the height of the controversial Irish author's powers in his last, doomed decade, the 1890s.

Тортила Флет е съществуваща местност в Калифорния, макар и в Кармел, а не в Монтерей, където я разполага Джон Стайнбек - писателят, който по единодушното мнение на световната критика разбира американците по-добре от всеки друг. Той събира в този неголям по обем, но необятен по литературност роман истински истории за паисанос (потомци на испанци, индианци, мексиканци и европейци), жители на този маргинален квартал, и, следвайки епичната традиция на легендите за крал Артур и неговите рицари, сладкодумно ниже повествованието за Дани и неговите приятели. Разказът на места е забавен, на места - сериозен, а героите се ... |
