Book Description
«Загадочная история Бенджамина Баттона» – один из самых известных фантастических рассказов Фрэнсиса Скотта Фицджеральда, которые он называл «сказками века джаза»: человек родился 70-летним и прожил жизнь наоборот, пройдя путь от старика до младенца. О замысле этого необычного произведения автор писал так: «Идея сюжета родилась из замечания Марка Твена о том, как жаль, что лучшая часть жизни проходит ближе к началу, а худшая – ближе к концу. Мой эксперимент всего лишь над одним человеком в самом обычном мире едва ли смог в полной мере воздать должное этой идее».В книгу также вошли рассказы в стиле «сказок века джаза» «Первое мая» и «О, рыжая ведьма!».Текст сокращён и адаптирован. Уровень B1.

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 257
Book Description
A haunting tribute to the heroic pioneers who shaped the American Midwest This powerful novel by Willa Cather is considered to be one of her finest works and placed Cather in the forefront of women novelists. It tells the stories of several immigrant families who start new lives in America in rural Nebraska. This powerful tribute to the quiet heroism of those whose struggles and triumphs shaped the American Midwest highlights the role of women pioneers, in particular.

The two form an enduring bond and through his chronicle, we watch Antonia shape the land while dealing with poverty, treachery, and tragedy. “No romantic novel ever written in America...is one half so beautiful as My Ántonia.” -H. L. Mencken Willa Cather (1873–1947) was an American writer best known for her novels of the Plains and for One of Ours, a novel set in World War I, for which she was awarded the Pulitzer Prize in 1923.

By the time of her death she had written twelve novels, five books of short stories, and a collection of poetry.
