The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, Rip Van Winkle, and Other Stories (with an Introduction by Charles Addison Dawson)
“The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, Rip Van Winkle, and Other Stories” is a volume of essays and short stories by Washington Irving that were first published serially between 1819 and 1820 and was originally collected as “The Sketch Book of Geoffrey Crayon, Gent.” It includes some of the works for which would establish Irving as one of the preeminent American authors of his day and cement his literary legacy. The most famous of the works in this volume are arguably “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” and “Rip Van Winkle.” The first is the story of Ichabod Crane, a schoolmaster from Connecticut who has moved to the New York countryside settlement of Tarry Town whose secluded glen called Sleepy Hollow is haunted by an infamous spectre, the Headless Horseman. The second story “Rip Van Winkle” tells the tale of a Dutch-American villager living during the time of the American Revolution who mysteriously falls asleep in New York’s Catskill Mountains only to discover when he awakes that many years have passed and much has changed. Along with these two classic tales thirty-two other stories and essays are included. This edition includes an introduction by Charles Addison Dawson and a preface by the author.
Крокодиловы слезы
Здания и территории, которые строились и благоустраивались для детей,много лет их радовали и создавали условия для нравственного и здорового воспитания, в последние годы некоторые были заняты государственными учреждениями. На конкретных примерах показано, что детские сады были отобраны в самых удобных и востребованных местах среди жилых массивов. Выражен протест и возмущение захватом благоухающих территорий детских садов на фоне удручающего состояния детских площадок рядом.
КОЛИЗЕЙ наш телевизор. Возмущение и протест содержанием телевидения нашей страны
Критический анализ содержимого и качества телевизионных передач на общественных каналах. Возмущение недопустимым преобладанием фильмов о преступлениях, с демонстрацией сцен насилия и убийств, которые губительно влияют на нравственность общества, уродует детские души, калечит психику детей. Оккупация эфирного времени Богемной элитой, представляющую ничтожную часть населения страны. Возмущение обилием различных ток-шоу, интервью, фильмов, посвящённых представителям гуманитарных профессий, оставляя без внимания несоизмеримо большие социальные группы людей других профессий. Подавляющее присутствие на экранах низкопробных фильмов. Протест и разочарование примитивными сюжетами игровых фильмов, которые штампуются сценаристами и режиссерами по банальным образцам.

Владимир Соловьев против Данилевского
Константин Николаевич Леонтьев
«…Нет спора, это так просто, ясно и возвышенно – сделать первый шаг к примирению двух Церквей, разделенных и давно враждующих, но внутренне соединенных общею „благодатью“, как доказывал еще прежде сам Соловьев. Конечно, стоит только христианину вообразить себе на мгновение, что обе Церкви – Восточная и Западная – вместо того, чтобы изнуряться в борьбе друг с другом, соединили бы свои разнородные силы против общего врага, против неверия, против всемирной революции, стоит, говорю я, христианину только на миг вообразить себе это, чтобы сердце его исполнилось радости!..»
Tales of Mystery and Imagination
This antiquarian volume contains a collection of some of Edgar Allen Poe’s most famous tales, including: “The Gold-Bug”, “Ms. Found in a Bottle”, “A Descent into the Maelström”, “The Fall of the House of Usher”, “William Wilson”, “The Murders in the Rue Morgue”, “The Mystery of Marie Roget”, “The Pitt and the Pendulum”, “The Tell-Tale Heart”, “A Tale of the Ragged Mountains”, and more. This volume constitutes a must-have for fans of the macabre, and would make for a fantastic addition to any collection. Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849) was an American author, editor, poet, and critic. Most famous for his stories of mystery and horror, he was one of the first American short story writers, and is widely considered to be the inventor of the detective fiction genre. Many antiquarian books such as this are becoming increasingly rare and expensive. We are republishing "Tales of Mystery and Imagination” now in an affordable, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.
Three Masquerades
"<p><i>The fiction of Rachel Ingalls has haunted me for years. The plots are dramatic, even exaggerated, but the books are quiet and short. The language is plain but curious. I’ve gathered here three works of hers. Two of these are frightening and one less so, although I sometimes change my mind about which one that is.</i> —from the Introduction by Daniel Handler</p>
<p>Daniel Handler assembled this collection from Rachel Ingalls’ wide selection of novellas as a perfect introduction to her beguiling talent. <i>I See a Long Journey</i> and <i>On Ice</i>, novellas Mr. Handler considers basically perfect, originally appeared with a third, <i>Blessed Art Thou</i>, a story he considers to be in an entirely different tone. He felt that <i>Friends in the Country</i> from Ms. Ingalls’ later collection, <i>The End of Tragedy</i>, was a more natural companion to the two earlier works. The author happily agreed.</p>"
The Lists of the Past
In selecting The Lists of the Past as her nomination for reissue by Pharos Editions, Cheryl Strayed was moved by “the intelligent, emotional depth and breadth” of the stories, all but two of which originally appeared in the New Yorker. Hayden’s New York hums with eccentric observation, humor and grit. Her leisurely Connecticut countryside is fresh with tilled soil, distant lapping waves and the summer breeze. Whether describing a child astonished with new perceptions, a distraught woman walking on Fifth Avenue with her concealed liquor flask, or a pair of lovers on a country picnic, her writing is ardent and precise, placing us at the center of her characters’ lives and destinies. Her masterful voice and distinctive clarity show us the often concealed ways our pain and joy turn into knowledge.
