Gryll Grange
ISBN: 9781519572585 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 290 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Excerpt from Gryll Grange: Illustrated by F. H. Townsend, With an Introd, by George Saintsbury
But since the wit is as bright as ever, though less hard, it seems unreasonable to impute as a defect what, but for very obvious reasons, would be admitted as an improvement. Except Brougham, who still comes in for some severe language, no one of Peacock's old favourite abominations undergoes personal chastisement.

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.

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.
