ISBN: 9781421889092 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 236 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In the Five Towns human nature is reported to be so hard that you can break stones on it. Yet sometimes it softens, and then we have one of our rare idylls of which we are very proud, while pretending not to be. The soft and delicate South would possibly not esteem highly our idylls, as such. Nevertheless they are our idylls, idyllic for us, and reminding us, by certain symptoms, that though we never cry there is concealed somewhere within our bodies a fount of happy tears.

Anna of the Five Towns (Aziloth Books)
ISBN: 9781911405108 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Arnold Bennett was born and grew up in Hanley, deep in the heart of the 'Potteries' (his 'Five Towns'), a land scarred and its people debilitated by industrial pollution and greed of gain. He left the area in 1898, aged 21, to work as a solicitor's clerk in London, writing in his spare time for magazines such as Tit-Bits. Bennett was a follower of Guy de Maupassant, believing that interesting and enlightening books could be written around the lives of ordinary people, a view vindicated in 1902, when he began publishing a series of books on life in the Potteries to instant critical...

The sedate reddish browns and reds of the composition, all netted in flowing scarves of smoke, harmonised exquisitely with the chill blues of the chequered sky. Beauty was achieved, and none saw it. The boys descended without a word through the brick-strewn pastures, where a horse or two cropped the short grass. At the railway bridge, which carried a branch mineral line over the path, they exchanged a brief volley of words with the working-lads who always played pitch-and-toss there in the dinner-hour; and the Sunday added to the collection of shawds and stones lodged...

ISBN: 9781421893075 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 276 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In the Five Towns the following history is related by those who know it as something side-splittingly funny-as one of the best jokes that ever occurred in a district devoted to jokes. And I, too, have hitherto regarded it as such. But upon my soul, now that I come to write it down, it strikes me as being, after all, a pretty grim tragedy. However, you shall judge, and laugh or cry as you please. It began in the little house of Mrs Carpole, up at Bleakridge, on the hill between Bursley and Hanbridge. Mrs Carpole was the second Mrs Carpole, and her husband was dead. She had a stepson, Horace,...
