Yates Richard Eleven Kinds of Loneliness
First published in 1962, a year after Revolutionary Road, this sublime collection of stories seems even more powerful today. Out of the lives of Manhattan office workers, a cab driver seeking immortality, frustrated would-be novelists, suburban men and their yearning, neglected women, Richard Yates creates a haunting mosaic of the 1950s, the era when the American dream was finally coming true - and just beginning to ring a little hollow.

Йейтс Ричард Одиннадцать видов одиночества
Впервые на русском — вторая классическая книга автора прославленной "Дороги перемен" — романа, который вошел в шортлист Национальной книжной премии США и послужил основой недавно прогремевшего фильма Сэма Мендеса с Леонардо Ди Каприо и Кейт Уинслет в главных ролях (впервые вместе после "Титаника"!). Кейт Аткинсон называла Йейтса "реалистом высшей пробы, наследником Хемингуэя", а New York Times писала: "Стоит упомянуть само это название, “Одиннадцать видов одиночества”, — и целое поколение читателей понимающе улыбнется. Йейтс создал ни больше ни меньше — нью-йоркский эквивалент “Дублинцев” Джойса". Заглавие сборника успело стать нарицательным (и даже наши отечественные меломаны помнят альбом Таниты Тикарам "Eleven Kinds of Loneliness"). Итак, вашему вниманию предлагаются одиннадцать историй о встречах и расставаниях, о любви и ненависти, о хрупкости человеческих отношений и цене обмана — от "одного из величайших американских писателей двадцатого века" (Sunday Telegraph).

Taylor Elizabeth A Wreath Of Roses
Spending the holiday with friends, as she has for many years, Camilla finds that their private absorptions - Frances with her painting and Liz with her baby - seem to exclude her from the gossipy intimacies of previous summers. Anxious that she will remain encased in her solitary life as a school secretary, and perhaps to spite of her friends, Camilla steps into an unlikely liaison with Richard Elton, a handsome, assured - and dangerous - liar. Elizabeth Taylor's darkest novel is a skillful exploration of the danger we'll go to to avoid loneliness. Taylor is increasingly recognised as one of the best writers of the twentieth century, and this little-known novel displays her range admirably.
