The Old English Baron by Clara Reeve, Fiction, Horror
ISBN: 9781598183559 / Angielski / Miękka / 132 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Clara Reeve (1729-1807), novelist, was the author of several novels, of which only one is remembered -- "The Old English Baron" (1777), written in imitation of, or rivalry with, the "Castle of Otranto" by Horace Walpole, 4th Earl of Orford, with which it has often been printed. Her novel has noticeably influenced Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein." Her innovative history of prose fiction, "The Progress of Romance" (1785), can be regarded generally as a precursor to modern histories of the novel and specifically as upholding the tradition of female literary history.

Frustrated, irate, and helpless, Bennie does the only thing he can: he starts to write a letter.

The Correspondence of Fradique Mendes: A Novel
ISBN: 9781933227320 / Angielski / Miękka / 152 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Correspondence of Fradique Mendes--ostensibly letters, with an arch introduction--actually ranges widely and revels in many forms of discourse. In this singular work, originally published in 1900, one finds meditations, dialogues, observations, grand shifts in tone, occulted ironies, pastiches, lampoons, and an underlying hilarity throughout. Readers will be reminded of Ishmael's lofty digressions, of Ivan Karamazov's dialogues with his imaginary devil, of Flaubert's stylistic virtuosity, of Gogol's quiet comedy--and more. Fradique, at one point, disingenuously tells us he will never...
