AND OTHER SKETCHES
Εκδότης: HESPERUS
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 0957-0015

Hailed by Doris Lessing as 'five-finger exercises for future excellence', Carlyle's House and other Sketches is the first publication of one of Virginia Woolf's early notebooks. From the cold formality of London town-houses with their rows of austere portraits, to the dull chaos of the academic's abode, and the eccentric spinsters' Hampstead home, Virginia Woolf paints a series of portraits of everyday life, capturing character and setting in exquisite detail. Stemming from her own experiences, these sketches offer a precious insight into ...

Εκδότης: HESPERUS
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 0957-0167

One of the finest German language authors of the first half of the twentieth century, Joseph Roth was born to Jewish parents on 2 September 1894 in Brody, then little more than a shtetl in East Galicia, at that time a territory of the Habsburg Austro-Hungarian Empire, and now in Ukraine. He began his higher education in nearby Lemberg (now Lviv) and in 1914 moved to the University in Vienna to study literature.

Εκδότης: HESPERUS
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 0957-0213

A profound and moving piece of investigative journalism, Jack London's study of the London underworld remains, a century after it was written, a timely tale of poverty and injustice. In 1902, Jack London purchased some second-hand clothes, rented a room in the East End, and set out to discover how the London poor lived. His research makes shocking reading.
