James Henry The Europeans
Cooper's most enduringly popular novel combines heroism and romance with powerful criticism of the destruction of nature and tradition. Set against the French and Indian siege of Fort William Henry in 1757, The Last of the Mohicans recounts the story of two sisters, Cora and Alice Munro, daughters of the English commander, who are struggling to be reunited with their father. They are aided in their perilous journey by Hawk-eye, a frontier scout, and his companions Chingachgook and Uncas, the only two survivors of the Mohican tribe. But their lives are endangered by Magua, the savage Indian traitor who captures the sisters, wanting Cora to be his squaw. Издание полностью на английском языке.

Heart of Darkness
More than a century after its publication Heart of Darkness remains an indisputably classic text and arguably Conrad's finest work. Taking place mostly in Africa, it tells the story of Europeans going to the Congo in search of goods to bring back, mostly ivory. They do this in the name of "Imperialism", but Conrad makes it very clear from the beginning that there is no civilization creation going on. Through corruption and exploitation of the blacks, the Europeans gain as much ivory as they can. However, it seems there is another process going on. The deep recesses of the jungle do something to a man, change him, and somehow demoralization begins.

James H. The europeans. The Madonna of the future. Novels / Новеллы
Henry James was one of the greatest prose writers in American literature. Enormously prolific, James authored 22 novels, hundreds of short stories, and dozens of volumes of non-fiction including biographies, travel writing, art and literary criticism, and memoirs. James's public remained limited during his lifetime, but, after a revival of interest in his work during the 1940-s and '50-s, he reached an ever-widening audience. His works were translated in many countries, and he was recognized in the late 20th century as one of the subtlest craftsmen who ever practiced the art of the novel. . .He is best known for a number of novels dealing with the social and marital interplay between emigre Americans, English people, and continental Europeans -examples of such novels include The Portrait of a Lady, The Ambassadors, and The Wings of the Dove. James favored internal, psychological drama, and his work is often about conflicts between imaginative protagonists and their difficult environments.
