Приключения Шерлока Холмса: Человек с рассеченной губой = The Man with the Twisted Lip
Приключения Шерлока Холмса: Человек с рассеченной губой = The Man with the Twisted Lip

«Человек с рассеченной губой» – один из самых захватывающих рассказов Артура Конан Дойла из цикла о Шерлоке Холмсе (1892 год). Как замечает сам Шерлок Холмс, в его практике не было случая, который на первый взгляд казался бы таким простым и был бы в действительности таким трудным. Текст незначительно сокращен и адаптирован, сопровождается комментариями, разными видами упражнений и кратким слова...

With these audacious and murderous witty stories, Donald Barthelme threw the preoccupation of our time into the literary equivalent of a Cuisinart and served up a gorgeous salad of American culture, high and low. Here are urban upheavals reimagined as frontier myth; travelogues through countries that might have been created by Kafka; cryptic dialogues that bore down to the bedrock of our longings,...

И все же в архиве Набокова сохранилось триста писем, охватывающих более чем пятьдесят лет их совместной жизни, совпавших с самыми драматичными перипетиями ХХ века.
