Dinesen Isak Babette's Feast
Little Clothbound Classics: irresistible, mini editions of short stories, novellas and essays from the world's greatest writers, designed by the award-winning Coralie Bickford-Smith. Karen Blixen, author of the acclaimed memoir Out of Africa, was also a master of the short story form: her tales offer luminous meditations on rebirth and redemption, on the mystery and unexpectedness of human behaviour. Alongside 'Babette's Feast', this selection also includes 'Sorrow-Acre', often thought to be one of her finest stories.

Dinesen Isak Babette's Feast and Other Stories
These five rich, witty and magical stories from the author of Out of Africa include one of her most well-known tales, 'Babette's Feast', which was made into the classic film. It tells the story of a French cook working in a puritanical Norwegian community, who treats her employers to the decadent feast of a lifetime. There is also a real-life Prospero and his Ariel in 'Tempests', a mysterious pearl-fisher in 'The Diver' and a brief, tragic encounter in 'The Ring'. All the stories have a mystic, fairy-tale quality, linked by themes of angels, the sea, dreams and fate. They were among the last to be written by Isak Dinesen, and show her as a master of short fiction.

Dinesen Isak Winter's Tales
If one theme unifies the 11 tales collected here, it is that of longing. Written after her return from Kenya and during the dark days of the Nazi occupation, they derive their themes and locales from Isak Dinesen's childhood in Denmark. Isak Dinesen was the pen-name of Karen Blixen, who was born in Rungsted, Denmark in 1885. After studying art at Copenhagen, Paris and Rome, she married her cousin, Baron Bror Blixen-Finecke, in 1914. Together they went to Kenya to manage a coffee plantation. After their divorce in 1921, she continued to run the plantation until a collapse in the coffee market forced her back to Denmark in 1931.

Dinesen Isak Seven Gothic Tales
Romantics, adventurers, sensualists, melancholics and dreamers inhabit the bizarre and exotic world conjured up in these seven intricately interwoven tales, whose settings range from Tuscany and Elsinore, to a dhow on its way from Lamu to Zanzibar. Proclaimed a masterpiece on its publication in 1934, this collection is shot through with themes of love and desire - from the maiden lady who now believes herself to have been the grand courtesan of her time, to the Count whose wife is so jealous that she cannot bear him to admire her jewels, and Lincoln Forsner, an Englishman whose search for a woman he met in a brothel leads him into many strange adventures.

Dickens Charles, Вулф Вирджиния, Золя Эмиль Stories from the Kitchen
A tempting anthology of tales about the culinary arts, from across the centuries and around the world. Stories from the Kitchen presents a mouth-watering smorgasbord of stories with food in the starring role, by authors ranging from Dickens, Chekhov and Saki through Evelyn Waugh and Isak Dinesen to Jim Crace and Amy Tan. The bill of fare includes choice titbits from classic novels - the triumphant boeuf en daube served in Woolf's To the Lighthouse; Proust's rhapsodic memory of the family cook preparing asparagus in Remembrance of Things Past; Zola's extravagant 'cheese symphony' scene from The Belly of Paris. Here too are over-the-top amuse-bouches by Gerald Durrell and Nora Ephron, a touching story about food and love by American food writer M.F.K. Fisher, and a delightful account of the perfect meal by eighteenth-century epicure Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin, who famously declared, 'Tell me what you eat and I will tell you what you are.' From a barrel of oysters endowed with the powers of seduction to a dish of stewed tripe liberally spiced with vengeance, this is a feast of fiction to tantalize, entice and satisfy literary gourmands everywhere.

Byatt A. S., Готорн Натаниель, Гейман Нил Bedtime Stories
As Scheherazade proved long ago, good stories make the best bedtime entertainment. The tales collected here represent the essence of the storyteller’s art, with its ancient roots in fantastical legends and tales told around a fire. In Bedtime Stories, great writers of the past two centuries explore the boundaries between the real and the unreal, between waking and dreaming. From the surreal night visions of Nathaniel Hawthorne’s ‘Young Goodman Brown’ to the unspeakable horror that haunts two little girls in A. S. Byatt’s ‘The Thing in the Forest’, from Washington Irving’s comical ‘The Legend of Sleepy Hollow’ to Ursula K. LeGuin’s sly perspective on Sleeping Beauty in ‘The Poacher’, these spellbinding stories transform the stuff of fables and fairy tales into high art. Robert Louis Stevenson, H. G. Wells, Isak Dinesen, Vladimir Nabokov, Angela Carter, Haruki Murakami and many more mingle their voices in this one-volume gateway to dreams – the perfect bedside companion for fiction lovers everywhere.

Bradbury Ray, По Эдгар Аллан, Киплинг Редьярд Джозеф Stories of the Sea
An anthology of the best maritime fiction from the last two hundred years: tales of shipwrecks and storms at sea, of creatures from the deep, and of voyages testing human endurance to its limits. Classic adventure stories by Joseph Conrad, Rudyard Kipling, Stephen Crane, Robert Louis Stevenson and Jack London mix with marvellously imaginative tales by Isak Dinesen, Patricia Highsmith and J. G. Ballard. Robert Olen Butler explores the memories of a Titanic victim who has become part of the sea that swallowed him; Ray Bradbury’s ‘The Fog Horn’ summons something primeval and lonely from the ocean depths; John Updike’s lovers retrace the route of Homer’s Odyssey on a cruise ship. From Edgar Allan Poe’s dramatic ‘A Descent into the Maelstrom’ to Ernest Hemingway’s chilling ‘After the Storm’, the stories here are as wide-ranging and entrancing as the sea itself.
