Ada or Ardor Penguin
Powie¶ci i opowiadania
Written in mischievous and magically flowing prose, Ada or Ardor: A Family Chronicle - Nabokov's other great love story - offers even more sexual and imaginative surprises than Lolita. A romance that follows Ada from her first childhood meeting with Van on his uncle's country estate, in a 'dream-bright' America, through eighty years of rapture, Nabokov's 'longest, richest, most ambitious novel' also becomes, as Brian Boyd says, a great many other things: 'myth, fairy tale, utopian idyll, family chronicle, personal memoir, historical romance, erotic catalogue ... picture gallery and filmic folly'. 'He derived from no other writers and leaves no true imitators' - Time 'His most gracious compliment to the United States was to merge it, in Ada, with the Russia of his memory to make one paradisal Antiterra' - John Updike 'His puns, echoes and chimes are not inserted currants but the texture of the pastry itself, and the resulting confection is a miraculous mille-feuille. Or, if you prefer, a madeleine' - Eric Korn in The Times Literary Supplement 'A real magician' - Paul Bailey in the Observer

Aphrodite Made Me Do It Central Avenue Publishing
Ksi±¿ki / Literatura obcojêzyczna
Voted one of the best poetry collections of 2019 by readers on Goodreads! Bestselling and Goodreads Choice Award winning poet Trista Mateer pulls out some tarot cards and asks for help in her goddess-themed poetry collection, Aphrodite Made Me Do It. It starts with a dream... Employing tools like lucid dreaming and tarot reading to set the stage, Mateer approaches myth here through a witchcraft-inspired lens, not a traditionalist textbook view; and like many poets before her, she allows herself the room to reinterpret. Part mythology retelling, part healing manifesto, this empowering and feminist collection tackles the timeless topic of love--romantic, platonic, and self-love--while also exploring various pieces of myth from Aphrodite's perspective. "In Troy they fought over Helen like children but Achilles mourned Patroclus the way a soul mourns a body." Using the framework of a conversation, with sections alternating between the perspective of the poet and the goddess herself, Mateer explores issues like: heartbreak, sexuality, trauma, and the restorative power in taking control of your own lore, speaking your truths, and rewriting your origin story. "Like everyone called a woman, they say I had no childhood. They say I rose from the sea fully formed, forced to bear the weight of other people's desire. It's not the truth, but it's close enough." Similar to the witch doesn't burn in this one by amanda lovelace and You'll Come Back to Yourself by Michaela Angemeer, this collection of short powerful poems from Instagram and TikTok poet Trista Mateer will have you believing in the possibility of your own healing.

Sorrows of Young Werther Oxford University Press
Ksi±¿ki / Literatura obcojêzyczna
'I have so much and my feeling for her devours everything, I have so much and without her everything is nothing.' The Sorrows of Young Werther propelled Goethe to instant fame when it first appeared in 1774. Goethe drew on his own unhappy experiences to tell the story of Werther, a young man tormented by his love for Lotte, a tender-hearted girl who is promised to someone else. Overwhelmed by his feelings, Werther begins to see only one way to escape from his anguish. Goethe's story of a sensitive young artist alienated from society channelled the Romantic sensibility of the day and led to a wave of imitations. Werther's searching introspection and the passionate intensity with which he bares his soul have an immediacy that is all the more powerful for being expressed in letters; charting the course of his emotions, they give added drama to the unfolding account. David Constantine's new translation captures the novel's lyric clarity, and his introduction and notes illuminate Goethe's achievement. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe.Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

Khachaturian: Ballet Suites brilliant classics
Ksi±¿ki naukowe>Sztuka>Muzyka, ¶piew i taniec>Muzyka powa¿na
Along with Shostakovich and Prokofiev, Khachaturian was one of the most famous and celebrated composers of the Soviet Union. Born in Tbilisi, Georgia, his earliest musical influences were the folk music of Georgia and of his ancestral homeland, Armenia. His ballet Gayaneh, composed in 1942, tapped into this passion for his Armenian heritage; set on a collective farm, its story is concerned with the triumph of love and loyalty to the Motherland over treason - themes that would keep Stalin happy. Khachaturian's later ballet Spartacus, written in 1956, took the famous story of the Greek slave turned gladiator and his defeat of the Roman general Crassus as its basis. Composed in the dying years of Stalin's rule, Khachaturian and his audiences were drawn to the story's theme of resistance against tyranny.Several movements from these ballets have taken on a life outside the original ballet suites - for example, the Sabre Dance from Gayaneh and the famous Adagio from Spartacus - ensuring that these wonderful and colourfully scored ballet suites have become firm favourites in the concert hall.Other information:- Recording made in 2000- Includes booklet notes- 'The Bolshoi orchestra are obviously completely at home in this repertoire, and Svetlanov's ear for orchestral detail is as sure as ever. How beautifully he handles the tapering down at the end of the 'Dance of the Nymphs' (from Spartacas), while the opening of the 'Dance of the Young Girls of Gades' brings a slow, subtle crescendo... The famous 'Adagio of Spartacus and Phrygia' has never sounded more touchingly refined on record and the climax does not disappoint. In Gayaneh there is a beguilingly sinuous sophistication in 'Ayesha's dance', and the 'Lullaby' and 'Gayeneh's Adagio' are beautifully played, creating much delicacy of texture.' Gramophone, April 2001...

And maybe they'll be right."

Selected Stories Oxford University Press
Ksi±¿ki / Literatura obcojêzyczna
'I was jealous of her writing. The only writing I have ever been jealous of.' Virginia Woolf Virginia Woolf was not the only writer to admire Mansfield's work: Thomas Hardy, D. H. Lawrence, and Elizabeth Bowen all praised her stories, and her early death at the age of thirty-four cut short one of the finest short-story writers in the English language. This selection covers the full range of Mansfield's fiction, from her early satirical stories to the subtly nuanced comedy of 'The Daughters of the Late Colonel' and the macabre and ominous 'A Married Man's Story'. The stories that pay what Mansfield calls 'a debt of love' to New Zealand are as sharply etched as the European stories, and she recreates her childhood world with mordant insight. Disruption is a constant theme, whether the tone is comic, tragic, nostalgic, or domestic, echoing Mansfield's disrupted life and the fractured expressions of Modernism. This new edition increases the selection from 27 to 33 stories and prints them in the order in which they first appeared, in the definitive texts established by Anthony Alpers.ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe.

Jolivet: Complete Songs
Ksi±¿ki naukowe>Sztuka>Muzyka, ¶piew i taniec>Muzyka powa¿na
20th Century French composer André Jolivet was known for his devotion to French culture and this can be clearly seen in his fine mélodies, or French art songs, which combine all the qualities of rich melody and sensitivity to text that are essential requirements for this form. This is the first complete recording of Jolivet's edited Mélodies for solo voice and piano.Jolivet's Mélodies were composed over almost a quarter of a century (1928-1951) and they cover many different styles and moods, from easy songs inspired by folk tunes to more complex and sophisticated works, some intimate and intense, some humorous or sarcastic. The huge variety he displays reflects his diverse inspiration, from medieval and classical forms to the atonal music of Schoenberg and Berg, as well as Debussy, Fauré and particularly his teacher, the iconoclast Edgard Varese.Jolivet draws most of his text from French poets through the ages, but some he wrote himself. The Deux poésies de Francis Jammes tell of a heart-breaking love story, where Jolivet transforms intimate sorrow into a bare, chromatic language. By contrast the lively Chewing Gum sparkles with jazz flavour and La mule de Lord Bolingbroke is also a delightful and bubbly work. Other themes are comments on social issues. His tragic experience as a front-line solider inspired Les Trois complaints du soldat, perhaps Jolivet's best-known song cycle, featuring early music forms and a simplicity typical of his war-time compostions. One of Jolivet's most successful cycles, Jardins d'hiver follows the changing moods of a love affair from joy and tenderness in the beginning to disillusionment, bitterness and finally acceptance. As an hommage to Jolivet's muse, the collection is completed with Varese's La grand sommeil noir.The Mélodies are performed by Sophie Marilley, mezzo-soprano, René Perler, baritone, Christian Immler, baritone and accompanied by the pianist Filippo Farinelli.About the artist:Since 2006/07 Sophie Marilley has been appearing as a soloist in the ensemble of the Wiener Staatsoper, performing roles such as Cherubino (Le Nozze di Figaro). At the same time, she was a guest at the Teatro Sao Carlo in Lisbon (Sesto in La Clemenza di Tito) and at the Théâtre Royal de la Monnaie (Cherubino in Le Nozze di Figaro). From 2011/12 on, she will be joining the ensemble of the Staatsoper Stuttgart, starting with roles such as Ruggiero (Alcina), Cherubino (Le Nozze di Figaro) and Junon (Platée). She will also get back to the Monnaie for a new production of Massenet's Cendrillon (le Prince)....

Far from the Madding Crowd Oxford University Press
Ksi±¿ki / Literatura obcojêzyczna
'I shall do one thing in this life - one thing for certain - that is, love you, and long for you, and keep wanting you till I die.' Gabriel Oak is only one of three suitors for the hand of the beautiful and spirited Bathsheba Everdene. He must compete with the dashing young soldier Sergeant Troy and respectable, middle-aged Farmer Boldwood. And while their fates depend upon the choice Bathsheba makes, she discovers the terrible consequences of an inconstant heart. Far from the Madding Crowd was the first of Hardy's novels to give the name of Wessex to the landscape of south-west England, and the first to gain him widespread popularity as a novelist. Set against the backdrop of the unchanging natural cycle of the year, the story both upholds and questions rural values with a startlingly modern sensibility. This new edition retains the critical text that restores previously deleted and revised passages. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe.Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

Puccini: Madama Butterfly brilliant classics
Ksi±¿ki naukowe>Sztuka>Muzyka, ¶piew i taniec>Muzyka powa¿na
One of the best-loved of all operas, Puccini's Madama Butterfly was given its premiere at La Scala Milan in 1904, where it received a terrible reception. The chemistry of the collaborators should have ensured success -- the librettists Luigi Illica and Guiseppe Giacosa had worked with the composer on La boheme and Tosca. Puccini withdrew the work and revised it thoroughly. When this version was presented to the public the adulation was extraordinary, and the work has been a central part of the operatic repertoire ever since.The story is a highly emotional one -- of cynical colonial exploitation, blind love and infidelity, a potent mix fuelled by Puccini's high-octane score. The aria 'Un bel di' (One fine day) is the high point of the work where Butterfly, living in poverty with Pinkerton's child and her maid Suzuki sings of her confidence that her handsome US Navy captain will return to her. He does eventually return, but not for Butterfly, with tragic consequences.Other information:- 'Gavazzeni has life, warmth and a sure control. Then there is the compassionate and beautifully sung Sharpless of Tito Gobbi, a more effective presence than that of Mario Sereni, good as he is in the second recording. A better (though hardly ideal) Suzuki further strengthens the cast, and it is good to hear Maria Huder once again in the role of Kate which she sang as long ago as 1939 to the Butterfly of Toti dal Monte. Los Angeles herself is adorable in both sets, the voice in richest bloom here, the portrayal almost unbearably vivid in charm and magnanimity,' Gramophone October 1988- One of the most popular and famous operas of all time- Star cast with the the great Victoria de los Angeles.- Essential title in the Brilliant Classics Opera series!...

The Ladies of Grace Adieu BLOOMSBURY
Opowiadania i miniatury literackieHorror, literatura grozyFantasy
Like Clarke's first novel, the bestselling Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell, these eight stories (seven previously published) are set in an England where magic is a serious but sometimes neglected field of study. The first story sees the erudite Strange tangling with country witches. Others show Austenesque concern with love and its outcomes ("Did you not hear me ask you to marry me?"), often involving fairies. In "The Duke of Wellington Misplaces His Horse," the duke visits Faerie, a kingdom located on the other side of the wall in the village of Wall (a location Clarke borrows from Neil Gaiman and Charles Vess), and meets a woman whose needlework affects the future. In the footnoted "Tom Brightwind or How the Fairy Bridge...," a "monumental" stone bridge is built in one afternoon. Clarke humorously revisits Rumplestiltzkin in "On Lickerish Hill," in which it is revealed that "Irishmen have tailes neare a quarter of a yard longe." Clarke may have trouble reaching a new audience in short form, as the stories provide less opportunity to get lost in fantastical material, but the author's many fans will be glad to have these stories in one volume.
