Maturin’s best-known work and one of the last of the classic Gothic novels.

Melmoth the Wanderer is a slow-burning supernatural story of suspense and horror that follows the menacing, ageless Wanderer through a complex web of nested stories within stories, told by his would-be victims and others who have crossed his path over his unnaturally long life.

Siegfried Sassoon had built a reputation as a poet and man of letters, though he had not yet published prose. It wasn’t until the end of the decade that he finally made the attempt with Memoirs of a Foxhunting Man, the first volume of his fictionalized autobiography—and he was so nervous about the prospect of publishing prose that he published it anonymously.

George Sherston, the semi-autobiographical stand-in for Sassoon, is a young boy growing up in the English countryside under the gentle care of his aunt Evelyn. His youth is idyllic, and he spends many afternoons..." data-title="Книга Memoirs of a Foxhunting Man">

Walter de la Mare was most famous for his uncanny fiction, and Memoirs of a Midget fits the description perfectly. The protagonist, who we know simply as “M.” or “Midgetina,” is a young woman just a few inches in height—though at times it seems that her height varies. Sometimes she’s small enough to be accosted by birds and carried on trays, and at other times it seems she’s large enough to ride horseback and even pass as a ten-year-old. She trips over hairbrushes, reads books that are larger than her, and must be especially careful around dogs and cats. The people around her seem to take this bizarre state of affairs in stride, and indeed, it’s the only..." data-title="Книга Memoirs of a Midget">

Peter Kropotkin begins his autobiographical Memoirs in his childhood, in a landholding family in Russia. During his adolescence, he notes the difference between the life of the servant class and that of the aristocracy. He relates the political efforts to end serfdom, and the push by reformers for more radical change, which runs against a reactionary response from the Russian rulers.

Graduating from military school, Kropotkin chooses an assignment in Siberia, and goes on geological expeditions to explore the eastern regions of the Russian Empire. Along the way he develops relationships with common peasants and workers, and wishes for a better life for them. After..." data-title="Книга Memoirs of a Revolutionist">

“The best science fiction writer working today in any language.” — Newsweek In this widely acclaimed sequel to The Star Diaries, Ijon Tichy, space traveler of future centuries, discovers that “out there” isn’t very different from “down here.” Especially when he finds a galactic society over which the Plenum Moronicum presides, which appoints as ruler a ruthless Machine; the inhabitants, docilely cooperating in their own destruction, go by the name of Phools. Tichy seems to attract inventors of splenetic genius, such as the madman who has invented the soul, or another who invents kitchen appliances so good at their jobs they might as well be wives or slaves. Throughout these nine wild adventures, surprise follows witty surprise for the discerning reader...

Amazon.com Review 'The year I turned ninety, I wanted to give myself the gift of a night of wild love with an adolescent virgin.' So begins Memories of My Melancholy Whores, and it becomes even more unlikely as the novel unfolds. This slim volume contains the story of the sad life of an unnamed, only slightly talented Colombian journalist and teacher, never married, never in love, living in the crumbling family manse. He calls Rosa Cabarcas, madame of the city's most successful brothel, to seek her assistance. Rosa tells him his wish is impossible-and then calls right back to say that she has found the perfect girl. The protagonist says of himself: 'I have never gone to bed with a woman I didn't pay… by the time I was fifty...
