The Lover`s Path : An Illustrated Novel

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book Description Filamena Ziani is the much younger sister of the most famous courtesan in sixteenth-century Venice, Tullia Ziani. Orphaned as an infant, Filamena has come of age bent like a branch to her sister`s will, sheltered and lonely in the elegant but stifling confines of their palazzo by the sea. Then a dark-haired stranger offers a gift that will change the course of her life forever: a single ripe plum, and an invitation to walk along the lover`s path, wherever it may lead. The Lover`s Path , a moving tale of forbidden love, is a feminist epic told in multiple layers. Through a novel combination of Filamena`s narrative, famous allegorical love stories from history and mythology, sumptuously ornate illustrations, and `actual` letters to and from Filamena that must be opened to be read, Filomena`s path is beautifully described and, finally, stunningly revealed. Praised by The New York Times Book Review for her `quality of myth and magic,` Waldherr… [detailed...]

The Lovers of Algeria: A Novel (Lannan Translations Selection Series)

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: A breathless story of love and survival in war-torn Algeria-past and present The devil has entered our country, and his footprints are everywhere. Nine-year-old Jallal is old enough to know that his life in Algeria is precarious at best. Having run away from home, he survives by selling peanuts and single cigarettes on the street. The proposal by the elderly Swiss woman named Anna is shocking and preposterous: go to the mountains with her, as a translator, so she can find her lost lover from decades ago and pray over the graves of their murdered children. Anna and Jallal`s journey is wrought with danger and unspeakable tragedy. It was under similar circumstances that Anna first met the Arab Nasreddine. Ousted from the traveling circus where she performed as a trapeze artist, she had little choice but to accept Nasreddine`s dangerous offer to live with him in a makeshift tent. But it was here, amid poverty, racism, and terrifyingly random violence,… [detailed...]

Publisher: Three Rivers Press
Description: Ten years after Charles I was deposed and executed, his son, Charles II, regains the throne after many years in exile. Charles is determined not only to restore the monarchy but also to revive a society that has suffered under many years of Puritan rule, when everything from theater to Christmas festivals was illegal. As king, Charles II throws himself into the gaiety of court life, becoming a patron of the arts and a consummate lover of women. He first secures a strong dynastic alliance by marrying Catherine of Braganza, a shy, plain Portuguese princess who falls in love with her handsome husband and brings him great wealth, but can never give him the son he longs for. For many years, his `untitled queen` is a bold and sensual older woman - Barbara, Countess of Castlemaine - whose husband is routinely paid to look the other way. But when the politically ambitious Lady Castlemaine becomes too powerful, she is replaced by Louise de Keroualle, a baby-faced French-noblewoman who may have… [detailed...]

Maxim Gorky
The Lower Depths

2000 y.
Publisher: Dover Publications
Description: In `The Lower Depths`, his dramatic masterpiece of 1902, Gorky presented a grimly realistic view of a desperate circle of lost souls. The play unfolds in a derelict boarding house, where an impoverished cast of despairing characters argue, play cards, tell stories, and debate the merits of two opposite worldviews: a self-reliant existence, free of illusions, or a romanticized outlook that colors and softens the pain of daily life. Shrewd observations, lifelike characters, and compelling dialog make this landmark play a work of enduring vitality. In addition to its dramatic interest and literary merit, The Lower Depths offers a revealing look at the social atmosphere that led to the Russian Revolution of 1917. Издание на английском языке.
