When she sees Arbuthnot's tatty London flat, she knows anything will be an improvement. And any gossip she can dig up will be pure gold for the tabloids.

Throughout its course, the novel spans the whole of the nebulous speculative fiction genre, taking on the appearance of science fiction, fantasy and horror all in turn. Perhaps the best way to describe...
Існуе безліч паэтычных формаў, і кожным разам паэт выбірае адну-адзіную, каб менавіта ў яе пераліць уласныя пачуцьці. І можна ўявіць, як нячаста некалькі розных паэтаў абіраюць падобную форму і працуюць у ёй. Для эўрапейцаў традыцыйна абранымі былі трыялеты, актавы, санэты, але ў дадзеным выпадку мы прадстаўляем зборнік хоку. Хоку — трохрадкоўе, якое бярэ выток у японскім вершаскладаньні. Разам з рубаі і танка хоку — гэта прыклад усходняй вершаванай мініятуры. Хоку пісалі вялікія старажытныя...

A lifetime of craving more cuddly companionship than her hectoring mother has led fortyish Bettina Bilby to board her neighbors' felines for a long holiday weekend: an expectant tabby, a pampered blue-eyed Balinese, a depressed ginger Persian with a cod-liver-oil addiction, and Adolf, an imperious mouser with a patchwork face. But a freak storm sets the pigeon among the cats—a carrier bird downed on the doorstep with a tiny load of large flawless diamonds. And Bettina's dilemma escalates, as...

Even less do they expect to find themselves...

Роман «Убить пересмешника...», впервые опубликованный в 1960 году, имел оглушительный успех и сразу же стал бестселлером. Это и неудивительно: Харпер Ли (1926–1975), усвоив уроки Марка Твена, нашла свой собственный стиль повествования, который позволил ей показать мир взрослых глазами ребёнка, не упрощая и не обедняя его. Роман был удостоен одной из самых престижных премий США по литературе — Пулитцеровской, печатался многомиллионными тиражами. Его перевели на десятки языков мира и продолжают...
