Buchan J The Thirty-Nine Steps

Убийства, погони, переодевания, государственные секреты - всего пару дней назад Ричард Хэнней даже представить себе не мог, что все эти «прелести» шпионской жизни ворвутся в его размеренное существование в результате случайной встречи на лондонской улице. Но в предвоенной Европе идет большая игра, и на кону стоит судьба целой страны, так что герою волей-неволей придется принять участие в опасном противостоянии. .Остросюжетный роман Джона Бакена, послуживший основой для одноименного фильма Альфреда Хичкока, адаптирован в настоящем издании по методу Ильи Франка: снабжен транскрипцией, дословным переводом на русский язык и необходимым лексико-грамматическим комментарием (без упрощения текста оригинала). Уникальность метода заключается в том, что запоминание слов и выражений происходит за счет их повторяемости, без заучивания и необходимости использовать словарь

A historic trail through the heart of Japan, as told by two legendary woodblock artists • The Kisokaido route through Japan was ordained in the early 1600s by the country's then-ruler Tokugawa Ieyasu, who decreed that staging posts be installed along the length of the arduous passage between Edo (present-day Tokyo) and Kyoto. Inns, shops, and restaurants were established to provide sustenance and lodging to weary travelers. In 1835, renowned woodblock print artist Keisai Eisen was commissioned to create a series of works to chart the Kisokaido journey. After producing 24 prints, Eisen was replaced by Utagawa Hiroshige, who completed the series of 70 prints in 1838 • Both Eisen and Hiroshige were master print practitioners. In The Sixty-Nine Stations along the Kisokaido, we find the artists' distinct styles as much as their shared expertise
