Nicholas's dad has had an idea – always a cue for disaster! This time he's planning to take the whole family camping. Sounds great, but Tomato is taking her pet carrot (don't ask) and Cheese is smuggling his pet hen into the camping van, while Granny and Lancelot are planning on bringing the goat... How much chaos can one family cause! The sixth story in this very popular series is every bit as silly and delightful as all the rest, while Rowan Clifford's black-and-white illustrations add to the fun.

“The Age of Innocence” is the best-known novel by the American writer Edith Wharton (1862—1937) for which she got the Pulitzer Prize. The action of the novel unfolds in the 70s of the 19th century and, by the author’s confession, it was her escape into the memories of childhood about America which had disappeared long ago, the attempt to reconcile that old world with the new one which arose after the First World War. The writer touchingly and at the same time ironically narrates the story of love of Newland Archer, a respectable young lawyer, and Countess Olenska, an extravagant cousin of his bride. Her heroes suffer badly, strive for happiness, but will they have enough moral powers to assert their feelings?

The suggested collection of short stories consists of selected works of a famous 19th century writer Elizabeth Gaskell (1810—1865). The stories represent the genre of gothic fiction. The author artfully pictures the atmosphere of horror and mystery that is common for gothic tradition. At the same time the writer delicately and free of pedantry weaves into her stories Victorian moral values and demonstrates refined sense of humor. Mystic events are naturally intertwined with real ones thus making Elizabeth Gaskell's literary works particularly attractive.

Rainbow Rowell continues to break down boundaries with Carry On, an epic fantasy following the triumphs and heartaches of Simon and Baz from her beloved bestselling book, Fangirl. Now with a brand new cover look. Simon Snow just wants to relax and savour his last year at the Watford School of Magicks, but no one will let him. His girlfriend broke up with him, his best friend is a pest and his mentor keeps trying to hide him away in the mountains where maybe he'll be safe. Simon can't even enjoy the fact that his room-mate and longtime nemesis is missing, because he can't stop worrying about the evil git. Plus there are ghosts. And vampires. And actual evil things trying to shut Simon down. When you're the most powerful magician the world has ever known, you never get to relax and savour anything. Based on the characters Simon and Baz who featured in Rainbow Rowell's bestselling Fangirl, Carry On is a ghost story, a love story, a mystery and a melodrama. It has just as much kissing and talking as you'd expect from a Rainbow Rowell story - but far, far more monsters.

An international bestseller and a truly unforgettable and life-changing story. The story of The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas is very difficult to describe. Usually we give some clues about the book on the cover, but in this case we think that would spoil the reading of the book. We think it is important that you start to read without knowing what it is about. If you do start to read this book, you will go on a journey with a nine-year-old boy called Bruno. And sooner or later you will arrive with Bruno at a fence. We hope you never have to cross such a fence.

The book includes fairytales written by Oscar Wilde (1854—1900) which introduce the reader to the fairyland where everything is fable and everything is truth. The writer applies to the eternal values — love, friendship, sacrifice for the sake of the neighbour’s happiness, people’s feelings and relations. Thanks to the fairy-tale form, poetic manner of narration, pictorial descriptions and metaphors, these complicated philosophical problems assume emotional and expressive resonance. The adduced works evoke reader’s feeling of reverence for the beauty of life, noble actions, lofty qualities of human soul and genuine protest against the world’s injustice.
Казки Оскара Вайльда (1854—1900), за словами автора, — “етюди в прозі, для яких з метою надання романтичного звучання обрана форма фантазій”. До збірки увійшли твори, які вводять читача в чарівний світ, де все — вигадка і все — правда. Письменник звертається до вічних цінностей — любові, дружби, співчуття, жертовності заради щастя ближніх, людських почуттів та взаємин. Завдяки казковій формі, поетичності оповіді, мальовничості описів, метафоричності складні філософські питання набувають проникливого і виразного звучання. Наведені твори викликають у читача почуття благоговіння перед красою життя, благородних вчинків, високих якостей людської душі і щирий протест проти несправедливостей світу.

The Architecture of Happiness is Alain de Botton's exploration of the hidden links between buildings and our well being. In The Architecture of Happiness, bestselling author Alain de Botton explores one of our most intense but often hidden love affairs: with our houses and their furnishings. He asks: • What makes a house truly beautiful? • Why are many new houses so ugly? • Why do we argue so bitterly about sofas and pictures - and can differences of taste ever be satisfactorily resolved? To answer these questions and many more, de Botton looks at buildings across the world, from medieval wooden huts to modern skyscrapers; he examines sofas and cathedrals, tea sets and office complexes, and teases out a host of often surprising philosophical insights. The Architecture of Happiness will take you on a beguiling tour through the history and psychology of architecture and interior design, and will change the way you look at your home.
