Эта книга для каждого, кто хотя бы раз забывал события предыдущего вечера, просыпался с похмелья или с неопознанными синяками, для каждого, кто сболтнул лишнего или морщился, любуясь видеозаписью с вечеринки со своим участием. Это искренняя история о двух современных женщинах, которые решили отказаться от алкоголя на год, и о том, что из этого вышло. А вышла своеобразная энциклопедия причин, по которым мы на самом деле пьем. Здесь не будет громких уничижений и попытки пристыдить любителей...

The Benefactor is Susan Sontag's first book and first novel. It was originally published in 1963, and introduced a unique writer to the world. In the form of a memoir by a latter-day Candide named Hippolyte, The Benefactor leads us on a kind of psychic Grand Tour, in which Hippolyte's violently imaginative dream life becomes indistinguishable from his surprising experiences in the 'real world'.

Following the events of one single day in Dublin, the 16th June 1904, and what happens to the characters Stephen Dedalus, Leopold Bloom and his wife Molly, Ulysses is a monument to the human condition. It has survived censorship, controversy and legal action, and even been deemed blasphemous, but remains an undisputed modernist classic: ceaselessly inventive, garrulous, funny, sorrowful, vulgar, lyrical and ultimately redemptive. It confirms Joyce's belief that literature 'is the...
