Maid Marian
ISBN: 9781544646503 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 110 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The friars, it may be well supposed, and such of the king's men as escaped unhurt from the affray, found their spirits a cup too low, and kept the flask moving from noon till night. The peaceful brethren, unused to the tumult of war, had undergone, from fear and discomposure, an exhaustion of animal spirits that required extraordinary refection. During the repast, they interrogated Sir Ralph Montfaucon, the leader of the soldiers, respecting the nature of the earl's offence. -A complication of offences, - replied Sir Ralph, -superinduced on the original basis of forest-treason.

Nightmare Abbey
ISBN: 9781519572622 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 90 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Mr Glowry is a melancholy gentleman who likes to surround himself with servants with long faces or dismal names such as Raven, Graves or Deathshead. The few visitors he welcomes to his home are mostly of a similar cast of mind: Mr Flosky, a transcendental philosopher; Mr Toobad, a Manichaean Millenarian; Mr Listless, Scythrop's languid and world-weary college friend; and Mr Cypress, a misanthropic poet. The only exception is the sanguine Mr Hilary, who, as Mr Glowry's brother-in-law, is obliged to visit the abbey from family interests.

Nightmare Abbey
ISBN: 9781535355858 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 92 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Classics for Your Collection: goo.gl/U80LCr --------- Nightmare Abbey is a Gothic topical satire in which the author pokes light-hearted fun at the romantic movement in contemporary English literature, in particular its obsession with morbid subjects, misanthropy and transcendental philosophical systems. Most of the characters in the novella are based on historical figures whom Peacock wishes to pillory. Christopher Glowry, Esquire, a morose widower lives with his only son Scythrop in his semi-dilapidated family mansion Nightmare Abbey,...

Crotchet Castle
ISBN: 9781519572578 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 116 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Like in his earlier novel Headlong Hall, Peacock assembles a group of eccentrics, each with a single monomaniacal obsession, and derives humour and social satire from their various interactions and conversations. Peacock's novels are unlike those of other men: they are the genuine expressions of an original and independent mind. His reading and his thinking ran together; there is free quotation, free play of wit and satire, grace of invention too, but always unconventional. The story is always pleasant, although always secondary to the play of thought for which it gives occasion.

Gryll Grange
ISBN: 9781544625430 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 236 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. It is fortunate, however, for the interest of Gryll Grange that politics, in the strict sense, occupy so small a part of it; for of all subjects they lose interest first to all but a very select number of readers. The bulk of the satiric comment of the book is devoted either to purely social matters, or to the debateable land between these and politics proper. A little but not very much of this is obsolete or obsolescent. American slavery is no more; and the 'Pantopragmatic Society' (in official language the Social Science Congress) has ceased to exist as a single recognised institution. But...
