The darkness was decorated by the pink of a silk skirt, the crimson of an opera-cloak vivid in the light of a carriage-lamp, with women's faces, necks, and hair. The women sprang gaily from hansoms and pushed through the swing-doors. It was Lubini's famous restaurant. Within the din was deafening.

The Lake
ISBN: 9781438533735 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 186 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. George Moore was an Irish novelist, short-story writer, poet, art critic, memoirist and dramatist. He came from a Roman Catholic landed family and originally wanted to be a painter studying in Paris in the 1870's. As a naturalistic writer, he was among the first English-language authors to study the French realists, and was particularly influenced by the works of Emile Zola. Because of his willingness to tackle such issues as prostitution, extramarital sex and lesbianism, his novels were met with disapproval but eventually as public taste changed they became accepted. The Lake is one man's...

Vain Fortune
ISBN: 9781514333457 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 92 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. I hope it will not seem presumptuous to ask my critics to treat this new edition of Vain Fortune as a new book: for it is a new book. The first edition was kindly noticed, but it attracted little attention, and very rightly, for the story as told therein was thin and insipid; and when Messrs. Scribner proposed to print the book in America, I stipulated that I should be allowed to rewrite it. They consented, and I began the story with Emily Watson, making her the principal character instead of Hubert Price. Some months after I received a letter from Madam Couperus, offering to translate the...

The Untilled Field (1903). By: George Moore: Novel (Original Classics) portraits of Irish rural life.
ISBN: 9781540795076 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 162 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Originally published in 1903, The Untilled Field proved to be one of Moore's works that pleased Moore best for its affectionate portraits of Irish rural life. Though modeled initially on Turgenev's Tales of a Sportsman, the stories soon became original inspirations woven out of Moore's memories of the peasants who lived and worked on his family estate in Mayo. It is one of the richest and most perfectly written of his works. ........ George Augustus Moore (24 February 1852 - 21 January 1933) was an Irish novelist, short-story writer, poet, art critic, memoirist and dramatist. Moore came from...

Pariser Geschichten
ISBN: 9788027261079 / Niemiecki / Miękka / 64 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. George Moore (1852-1933) war ein irischer Schriftsteller und Kunstkritiker. Wegen seines Einsatzes für die irische Sprache gilt Moore als ein Mitbegründer der modernen irischen Literatur.

Ein weiteres Thema für Moore war der Burenkrieg der Briten, gegen den er sich immer wieder aussprach. Inhalt: - Der Blumengarten der Normandie - Eine Kellnerin - Marie...
