Настоящее издание – явление удивительное, даже уникальное, во многих аспектах. Полное собрание сочинений. Автор – Эдвард Лир (1812–1888), знаменитый английский поэт и художник XIX века. Основоположник поэзии нонсенса. Отец литературного лимерика. Переводчик – Борис Архипцев, совершивший своего рода творческий подвиг, отдав работе над книгой без малого четверть века. Значительная часть текстов переведена на русский впервые. Всё, переведённое заново, выводит отечественные интерпретации Э. Лира на новый, прежде недостижимый уровень. Переводы Архипцева (ему же принадлежат и все прочие русские материалы в книге – предисловие, комментарии и т. д.) отличает редкостный сплав точности, верности автору, его замыслу и воле, с поразительной свободой изложения, лёгкостью и изяществом слога. Книга двуязычна: переводы сопровождаются авторскими текстами на языке оригинала и собственными иллюстрациями Эдварда Лира.

A level 5 Oxford Bookworms Library graded reader. Retold for Learners of English by Clare West. Sometimes the Dashwood girls do not seem like sisters. Elinor is all calmness and reason, and can be relied upon for practical, common sense opinions. Marianne, on the other hand, is all sensibility, full of passionate and romantic feeling. She has no time for dull common sense – or for middle-aged men of thirty-five, long past the age of marriage. True love can only be felt by the young, of course. And if your heart is broken at the age of seventeen, how can you ever expect to recover from the passionate misery that fills your life, waking and sleeping?
