Керрі Бредшоу, головна героїня серіалу «Секс у великому місті», подарувала Сарі Джессіці Паркер всесвітню популярність і неймовірну долю, принаймні судячи з передумов. Давним-давно, до Керрі, була Сара: розумна та жвава дівчинка, яка народилася в Огайо в дуже бідній родині, але переконана у важливості мистецтва в житті кожної людини. Незважаючи на те, що дитинство нагадувало роман Діккенса, Сара, жертвуючи чимало, розвивала своє мистецьке покликання й почала грати в театрі, а потім і в кіно в дуже ранньому віці. До її посвячення в ту роль, яка зробила її відомою в усьому світі, в одному з телесеріалів, які змінили обличчя телебачення і для якого її ролі, не тільки як головної героїні, але й як виконавчого продюсера, були фундаментальними. Після успішного періоду серіалу Сара Джессіка Паркер разом із кар’єрою актриси здійснює різноманітні особисті проекти в гуманітарній, культурній та підприємницькій сферах із врівноваженістю та спокоєм, які її відрізняють. У сьогоднішній Сарі є багато від маленької дівчинки з Нельсонвілля: розумна, прагматична жінка з великим серцем.
Carrie Bradshaw, protagonista della serie TV "Sex and the City", ha regalato a Sarah Jessica Parker una notorietà planetaria e un destino non immaginabile, stando almeno alle premesse. C’era una volta, prima di Carrie, Sarah: una bambina intelligente e vivace, nata in Ohio, da una famiglia poverissima, ma convinta dell’importanza dell’arte nella vita di ogni persona. Nonostante un’infanzia da romanzo di Dickens, Sarah ha coltivato, con immensi sacrifici, la propria vocazione artistica e cominciato prestissimo a recitare in teatro e poi al cinema. Fino alla consacrazione in quel ruolo che l’ha resa notissima in tutto il mondo, in una delle serie TV che hanno cambiato il volto della televisione e per cui i suoi ruoli, non solo di protagonista ma anche di produttore esecutivo, sono stati fondamentali. Dopo la fortunata parentesi del serial, Sarah Jessica Parker, insieme alla carriera di attrice, porta avanti diversi progetti personali in ambito umanitario, culturale e imprenditoriale con l’equilibrio e la pacatezza che la contraddistinguono. C’è molto della bambina di Nelsonville nella Sarah di oggi: una donna intelligente, pragmatica e di grande cuore.

'The unhappiness that I need and long for ...is of the kind that will let me suffer with eagerness and die with lust. That is the unhappiness, or happiness, that I am waiting for'. Alienated from society, Harry Haller is the Steppenwolf, wild, strange and shy. His despair and desire for death draw him into an enchanted, Faust-like underworld. Through a series of shadowy encounters, romantic, freakish and savage by turn, Haller begins to rediscover the lost dreams of his youth. Adopted by the Sixties counterculture, "Steppenwolf" captured the mood of a disaffected generation that was beginning to question everything.

One of the world's most famous novels, One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez, winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature, blends the natural with the supernatural in on one of the most magical reading experiences on earth. 'Many years later, as he faced the firing squad, Colonel Aureliano Buendia was to remember that distant afternoon when his father took him to discover ice.' Gabriel Garcia Marquez's great masterpiece is the story of seven generations of the Buendia family and of Macondo, the town they have built. Though little more than a settlement surrounded by mountains, Macondo has its wars and disasters, even its wonders and its miracles. A microcosm of Columbian life, its secrets lie hidden, encoded in a book, and only Aureliano Buendia can fathom its mysteries and reveal its shrouded destiny. Blending political reality with magic realism, fantasy and comic invention, One Hundred Years of Solitude is one of the most daringly original works of the twentieth century. "Dazzling" (The New York Times)

Originally conceived as a novel but then transformed into a play by Ayn Rand, Ideal is the story of beautiful but tormented actress Kay Gonda. Accused of murder, she is on the run, and she turns for help to six fans who have written letters to her, each telling her that she represents their ideal-a respectable family man, a farleft activist, a cynical artist, an evangelist, a playboy, and a lost soul. Each reacts to her plight in his own way, their reactions a glimpse into their secret selves and their true values. In the end their responses to her pleas give Kay the answers she has been seeking. Ideal was written in 1934 as a novel, but Ayn Rand thought the theme of the piece would be better realized as a play and put the novel aside. Now, both versions of Ideal are available for the first time ever to the millions of Ayn Rand fans around the world, giving them a unique opportunity to explore the creative process of Rand as she wrote first a book, then a play, and the differences between the two.

Gabriel Allon, art restorer and spy, is about to face the greatest challenge of his life. An al-Qaeda suspect is killed in London, and photographs are found on his computer – photographs that lead Israeli intelligence to suspect that al-Qaeda is planning one of its most audacious attacks ever, straight at the heart of the Vatican. Allon warns the Pope’s private secretary, his old friend Monsignor Luigi Donati, and rushes to Rome to assist in the security. But what neither he nor Donati knows is that the Vatican has been thoroughly penetrated. An extraordinary enemy walks among them … and he’s just getting started. In the days and weeks to come, Allon and his colleagues will find themselves in a deadly duel of wits against one of the most dangerous men in the world – a hunt that will take them across Europe to the Caribbean and back again. But for them, there may simply not be enough of anything: enough time, enough facts, enough luck. All Allon can do is set his trap – and hope that he himself is not the one caught in it. Filled with remarkable characters and breathtaking double and triple turns of plot, The Messenger confirms Silva’s reputation as his generation’s finest writer of international thrillers.

'The remarkable story of an astounding transformation' George Monbiot, author of Feral. In Wilding, Isabella Tree tells the story of the `Knepp experiment', a pioneering rewilding project in West Sussex, using free-roaming grazing animals to create new habitats for wildlife. Part gripping memoir, part fascinating account of the ecology of our countryside, Wilding is, above all, an inspiring story of hope. Forced to accept that intensive farming on the heavy clay of their land at Knepp was economically unsustainable, Isabella Tree and her husband Charlie Burrell made a spectacular leap of faith: they decided to step back and let nature take over. Thanks to the introduction of free-roaming cattle, ponies, pigs and deer - proxies of the large animals that once roamed Britain - the 3,500 acre project has seen extraordinary increases in wildlife numbers and diversity in little over a decade. Extremely rare species, including turtle doves, nightingales, peregrine falcons, lesser spotted woodpeckers and purple emperor butterflies, are now breeding at Knepp, and populations of other species are rocketing. The Burrells' degraded agricultural land has become a functioning ecosystem again, heaving with life - all by itself. Personal and inspirational, Wilding is an astonishing account of the beauty and strength of nature, when it is given as much freedom as possible.

“The Good Soldier” is one of the best novels of Ford Madox Ford (1873—1939), a reputable writer that significantly influenced the development of English literature and that is often called a godfather of E. Hemingway and D. H. Lawrence. The story of a soldier Edward Ashburnham is presented in a form of memories. The narrator neglects chronological order, sometimes mixes up dates, forgets some details and, having remembered them, goes off on a tangent — thus creating an effect of a trustful narration to a close person. Ford himself called his style literary impressionism and as in music or painting tried not only to narrate but also to communicate impressions.

Theodore Dreiser (1871—1945) is one of the most outstanding writers-realists of the USA at the turn of the 20th century, the epoch which is characterized not only by considerable social shifts but also by significant transformation of thinking. In his stories, the writer ponders over the moral state of modern American society of his time and emphasizes the growth of the personality’s amorality and aggression. He continually forces his heroes to make their choice revealing the inconsistency of human nature and demonstrates in addition the ability of the great expert at writing profoundly and on a good scale to elucidate acute problems in the small literary form.

The Power meets We Were Liars in Rory Power's compelling, visceral and completely unputdownable YA debut about survival and the power of female friendships. Everyone loses something to the Tox; Hetty lost her eye, Reese has her bad hand, and Byatt just disappeared completely. It's been eighteen months since the Raxter School for Girls was put in quarantine. The Tox turned the students strange and savage, the teachers died off one by one. Cut off from the mainland, the girls don't dare wander past the school's fence where the Tox has made the woods wild and dangerous. They wait for the cure as the Tox takes; their bodies becoming sick and foreign, things bursting out of them, bits missing. But when Byatt goes missing, Hetty will do anything to find her best friend, even if it means breaking quarantine and braving the horrors that lie in the wilderness past the fence. As she digs deeper, she learns disturbing truths about her school and what else is living on Raxter Island. And that the cure might not be a cure at all . . .

Among the cases which Sherlock Holmes investigates in this collection are not only those ones in which the peccable nature of the criminals and human weak points are being revealed (“Silver Blaze”, “The Cardboard Box”, “The Stockbroker’s Clerk”, “The Gloria Scott”), but also the cases in which the solutions of them impel the detective’s clients to take humane decisions and commit noble deeds (“The Yellow Face”); in one of the stories, Holmes even tries to reveal the state secret of the Charles I and Charles II epochs (“The Musgrave Ritual”). In all these cases his logical thought, his attention to details, the knack of analysing remain worthy of amazement and enchant.
Серед справ, які Шерлок Холмс розслідує в цій збірці, не лише ті, де виявляються гріховна сутність злочинців та людські слабкості (“Срібносяйний”, “Картонна коробка”, “Біржовий клерк”, “Глорія Скотт”), але й ті, розгадки котрих спонукають клієнтів детектива до гуманних рішень та шляхетних вчинків (“Жовте обличчя”); в одній з історій Холмс навіть здійснює спробу розкрити історичну таємницю часів Карла I та Карла II (“Обряд родини Масґрейвів”). І в усіх цих випадках його логічне мислення, уважність до деталей, вміння аналізувати лишаються гідними подиву та зачаровують.

In this one-of-a-kind volume, indispensable for students of art, architecture and film, Alex Danchev presents 100 Artists' Manifestos, each reproduced with an introduction on the author and the associated movement, in Penguin Modern Classics. This remarkable collection of 100 manifestos from the last 100 years is cacophony of voices from such diverse movements as Futurism, Dadaism, Surrealism, Feminism, Communism, Destructivism, Vorticism, Stridentism, Cannibalism and Stuckism, taking in along the way film, architecture, fashion, and cookery. Artists' manifestos are nothing if not revolutionary. They are outlandish, outrageous, and frequently offensive. They combine wit, wisdom, and world-shaking demands. This collection gathers together an international array of artists of every stripe, including Kandinsky, Mayakovsky, Rodchenko, Le Corbusier, Picabia, Dalí, Oldenburg, Vertov, Baselitz, Kitaj, Murakami, Gilbert and George, together with their allies and collaborators - such figures as Marinetti, Apollinaire, Breton, Trotsky, Guy Debord and Rem Koolhaas. Editor Alex Danchev is the author of an acclaimed biography of artist Georges Braque and is Professor of International Relations at the University of Nottingham. His other works include Alanbrooke War Diaries: Field Marshall Lord Alanbrooke, The Iraq Warand Democratic Politics and On Art and War and Terror. If you enjoyed 100 Artists' Manifestos, you might like John Berger's Ways of Seeing, also available in Penguin Modern Classics.
