Один из самых значительных и самых загадочных американских писателей прошлого века. Уроженец Нью-Йорка, ярко заявивший о себе вскоре после Второй Мировой войны сборником Девять историй и романом Над пропастью во ржи , автор был немедленно признан живым классиком и создателем новой молодежной Библии .

Оказавшись на вершине славы, Сэлинджер вдруг покинул шумный Нью-Йорк и поселился затворником в одном из крошечных городишек Новой Англии, не напечатав с тех пор ни единого слова и не дав ни одного интервью.Поклонники и знатоки его творчества утверждают, что всё им написанное - зашифрованные буддистские проповеди, и, выполнив свое земное предназначение, он, как подлинный брамин, отныне стремится лишь достичь собственной Нирваны.

Bierce was born in a log cabin at Horse Cave Creek in Meigs County, Ohio, in 1842. First finding his voice in newspapers, Bierce became a prolific author of short stories often humorous and sometimes bitter or macabre.

He is renowned as a pioneering writer of realist fiction. For his horror writing, Michael Dirda ranked him alongside Edgar Allan Poe and H.

P. Lovecraft.

His war stories influenced Stephen Crane, Ernest Hemingway, and others, and he was considered an influential and feared literary critic. He spoke out against oppression and supported civil and religious freedoms.

In December 1913, Bierce traveled to Chihuahua, Mexico, to gain first-hand experience of the Mexican Revolution. He disappeared, and was rumored to be traveling with rebel troops.

He was never seen again. This collection includes the works of Ambrose Bierce: The Death of Halpin Frayser Chickamauga An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge.

The objective of this study is to estimate inflation threshold and examine its impact on the inflation-growth nexus in selected African regional economic communities. While a number of empirical studies exist in this area for developing countries, they bundle up countries from Asia, Africa and Latin America which do not have the same inflation experiences.

This study therefore focuses on Africa. However, since African regional groupings themselves have different inflation experiences, non-linearity in the relationship between inflation and growth is explored within each grouping separately.

The study uses dynamic panel threshold modeling recently suggested by Kremer et al. (2013) which extends the non-dynamic panel threshold model of Hansen (1999) and the cross-sectional threshold model of Caner and Hansen (2004).

The results indicate that the estimated inflation threshold is different across the regional economic communities. Nonlinearity in inflation-growth nexus seems to hold in CEMAC, COMESA and SADC while it is questioned in WAEMU and WAMZ.

For CEMAC, COMESA and SADC, the findings indicate that inflation above the threshold is harmful to growth. Some correlations are established in this study but further analysis is needed to suggest a policy.

Представляемая на английском языке аудиоверсия рассказов Джека Лондона – это возможность услышать в оригинале один из лучших сборников автора. К тому времени, когда Лондон начал писать, он перепробовал десяток занятий: бродяжничал, был студентом, плавал матросом, состоял в социалистической партии, участвовал в марше безработных, искал золото на Клондайке.

Все эти впечатления нашли непосредственное отражение в его творчестве, именно поэтому его произведения так реалистичны и наполнены подлинным дыханием жизни. Основой сюжета рассказа «Love of Life» («Любовь к жизни») послужили действительные события, происшедшие на Аляске, о которых писатель узнал из газет.

Добавить к ним опыт голоданий и «хождений по мукам», которые пережил сам Лондон, его впечатления от пребывания на Аляске, – и прочный успех у читателя обеспечен. Love of Life The Story of Keesh The White Silence Grit of Women The Marriage of Lit-lit The White Man\'s Way The Story of Jees Uck.
