  The chimes. The cricket on the hearth / Íîâîð³÷í³ äçâîíè. Öâ³ðêóí äîìàøíüîãî âîãíèùà (English Library) Charles Dickens

  "The Chimes" and "The Cricket on the Hearth" by Charles Dickens (1812—1870) belong to his well-known cycle "Christmas Stories". The events of the first one develop on the New Year's Eve when the casual messenger Toby after his talk with the alderman begins to believe that all the poor people are bad ones already by birth and therefore his daughter does not deserve happiness as well. However, the spirits of the bells do not agree with him — the fairy-tale charms change the chain of events, and Toby himself. In the second story, the ideal family of the carrier has been described: he and his wife have a lot of friends, a little Baby, a songful Cricket and a dog, Boxer. Dramatic events caused by the appearance of a stranger menace the family's happiness. Still, the magic creatures come to their relief again, that is why this story will have quite unex- Felix Ehrlich's painting "Christmas" (1889) was used in the cover design.

  The red badge of courage = ×åðâîíèé çíàê çâèòÿãè (American Library) Crane S.

  Stephen Crane (1871—1900) — a classic of American literature, one of the writers who at the end of the 19th century determined the ways of its further development. Having lived only 28 years he left brilliant and original creative heritage. "The Red Badge of Courage" (1895) is one of the best works of world literature about war. Crane managed to psychologically convincingly convey the complex gamut of the feelings of the novel's main hero, recruit Henry Fleming, who faced with the severe reality of war. The book carries the reader away and leads him to the view that the war is a phenomenon incompatible with the life of the civilized world.

  The Rich Boy and Other Stories / Áàãàòèé õëîïåöü òà ³íø³ ³ñòîð³¿. (English Library) Fitzgerald F.Scott

  In the proposed collection, the best novellas by the well-known American writer F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896—1940) from such author’s collections as “Flappers and Philosophers”, “Tales of the Jazz Age”, “All the Sad Young Men” and “Taps at Reveille” are presented. The fate of the heroes of these works turns out in different ways. But describing the life of each of them the author asserts that: whatever the epoch a man lives in, the moral values remain invariable — domestic warmth, charity, sincerity, the ability of prizing everything one owns always promise every prospect of happiness. Whereas, false pride, arrogance, impertinence doom us to fruitless search for happy fate.

  The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn / Ïðèãîäè Ãåêëüáåð³ Ô³ííà. (English Library) Twain M.

  «The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn» is one of Mark Twain’s best-known literary works. The story is devoted to Tom Sawyer’s best friend, homeless boy Huckleberry Finn who runs away from his brutal father-drunkard to the desert island. Here he quite unexpectedly meets up a fugitive slave Jim — the noblest character of the book. They travel together on the raft along the Mississippi. Unlooked-for adventures and dangerous trials are awaiting for them, but unselfishness, kindness, and loyalty to friendship help them stand out in complicated circumstances. The book is full of profound respect for a man, love for life and teaches to live according to simple, eternal laws of justice and humanity. «Ïðèãîäè Ãåêëüáåðð³ Ô³ííà» — îäèí ³ç íàéâ³äîì³øèõ òâîð³â Ìàðêà Òâåíà.

  Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849) - a classic of American literature, a man of brilliant talent and tragic fate. The proposed collection includes Poe's stories written in Gothic style whose heroes are distinguished for their unusual disposition and eccentric behaviour. The stories excel in deep psychologism, extreme situations in which only those strong in spirit survive. Mastery combination of mystical elements, horror scenes, the deeds which are at variance with generally accepted norms of life and death, with romance, satire, hints and allusions makes Edgar Poe's works interesting and attractive for today's readers as well.

  England, my England. (English Library) Ëîóðåíñ Ä.Ã.

  "England, My England" — a collection of stories by one of the leading British writers David Herbert Lawrence (1885—1930). The author's world views were essentially influenced by the events of the First World War which he condemned as a manifestation of the extreme insanity, trying in his works to propound the recipe of salvation. In particular, the writer reckoned that a man should defer to his own inner desires and feelings and saw the solution in setting free instinctive energy. Just because of it, all the stories of the collection are about love, initial, sensual and passionate; about relations in which "he" and "she" are eager to implement the potential laid up in a man by nature.

  "Frankenstein; or, the Modern Prometheus" is the first and best-known novel by the English writer Mary Shelley (1797—1851) which she wrote being 19 years old. The book quickly gained in popularity and exercised noticeable influence over the whole world art. It is a history of a scientist who decided to follow God's example and create a man... an artificial one. And his attempt turned out well. Actually, the intention, noble from the very start, having been realized in life, had pernicious consequences — the creature raised his arm against his creator aiming at punishing him and, in one go, the whole human kind.

  The legend of sleepy hollow / Ëåãåíäà ïðî ñîííó áàëêó òà ³íø³ ³ñòîð³¿. (American Library) Washington I.

  The proposed collection comprises the best-known works by Washington Irving (1783—1859), the founder of the American short-story prose. Being over head and ears in love with the legends about the first settlers on the shores of the Hudson, the writer takes their plots as a basis for his stories. Still, his mythical heroes are often endowed with not fairy-tale features at all. They are go-ahead, quick-witted, they objectively perceive their surroundings. That is why the author's novelle breathe humor, easiness, and irony, thrill the readers with the mixture of the serious and the ludicrous, of fiction and reality. Having united illusion and triviality, Irving determined the ways of the development of American romanticism and forever went down in history of the world writers' community as one of the first classic-romanticist in American literature.
