Четверо героев пьесы «Коллекция», супруги Джеймс и Стелла, друзья Гарри и Билл выясняют, что же на самом деле произошло с двумя из них в Лидсе, где они были проездом. Возможно, отношения между Биллом и Стеллой были, а может и нет, а возможно, они даже и не познакомились. Что там было на самом деле драматурга не интересует, его увлекают тайные нити людских взаимоотношений. Тайна остается нераскрытой, и дело не в ней, а в иррациональном напряжении, скрытом между короткими репликами, в принципиальной невозможности наладить контакт между людьми.

Пьеса о том, как трудно человеку найти путь к другому человеку, пробиться к его сознанию, заставить услышать и понять. О том, как сохранить себя и свою неповторимость. Казалось бы, супруги Бет и Дафф вместе, но они далеки друг от друга. Диалог распадается на два монолога, унылых и грустных, как меланхолический пейзаж. Дафф признается жене, что изменил ей, она не слышит, рассказывая ему о цветах и погоде, и о своей любви к нему, о том как ей необходимы его забота и внимание. Дафф делится с ней своими переживаниями о конфликте с прохожим, о том как для него важна его работа. Она также не слышит мужа.

Гарольд Пинтер, лауреат Нобелевской премии, является одним из наиболее значительных драматургов наших дней. Роман "Карлики" - единственное прозаическое произведение мэтра за долгие годы плодотворной литературной деятельности. Это история сложных взаимоотношений трех молодых людей и девушки, живущих в послевоенном Лондоне. Их странная, порой чем-то разрушительная для каждого дружба обусловлена ограничениями и рамками, которые накладывают на жизнь человека сексуальность, интимные отношения и принятая мораль. "Карлики" написаны неожиданно легко, изящно и увлекательно, этот роман открывает еще одну грань таланта писателя и драматурга, чьи…

Настоящее издание - коллекция лучших пьес английского драматурга Гарольда Пинтера, лауреата Нобелевской премии 2005 года.

A collection of five Pinter plays which also contains five revue sketches written during the same period.

Do Hirst and Spooner really know each other, or are they performing an elaborate charade? The ambiguity - and the comedy - intensify with the arrival of Briggs and Foster. All four inhabit a no-man's-land between time present and time remembered, between reality and imagination.

"Pinter is a genius, a poet-playwright who has extended the modernist legacy of Beckett and Joyce into a body of work as impressive as theirs."

This revised third volume of Harold Pinter's work includes The Homecoming, Old Times, No Man's Land, four shorter plays, six revue sketches and a short story. It also contains the speech given by Pinter in 1970 on being awarded the German Shakespeare Prize.

First presented by the Royal Court Theatre in London in September of 1996, Ashes to Ashes is a triumph of power and concision. In the living room of a pleasant house in a university town outside of London, Devlin, threatened by his wife Rebecca's recollections of an abusive ex-lover, questions her relentlessly in his need for a single truth. In her seamless blending of what she knows of violence with the wider violence of the world, Rebecca reveals an eerie communion with the dead victims of unnamed political barbarities.

This volume contains Harold Pinter's first six plays, including The Birthday Party.
"The Birthday Party". Stanley Webber is visited in his boarding house by two strangers, Goldberg and McCann. An innocent-seeming birthday party for Stanley turns into a nightmare.
The Room and The Dumb Waiter In these two early one-act plays, Harold Pinter reveals himself as already in full control of his unique ability to make dramatic poetry of the banalities of everyday speech and the precision with which it defines character.
"The Hothouse". The Hothouse was first produced in 1980, though Harold Pinter wrote the play in 1958, just before commencing work on The Caretaker. In this compelling study of bureaucratic power, we can see the full emergence of a great and original dramatic talent.

Along with Samuel Beckett and Eugene Ionesco, Harold Pinter holds an undisputed place in the front ranks of contemporary dramatists. In volume two of his collected works, the plays and revue sketches mark a period of transition, as Pinter's characters and settings become more recognizably realistic, in contrast to the absurdist atmosphere of his earlier work.
The Caretaker, which first brought him fame on both sides of the Atlantic, was called "a play of strangely compelling beauty and passion" by Howard Taubman of The New York Times. An essay by Pinter, Writing for Myself, introduces this collection.

Dramatist, scriptwriter, short story writer, novelist, poet, director, and actor, Harold Pinter has earned universal praise for his distinctive style and imagination. In this, the most recent of four volumes, Pinter's work echoes many of his earlier themes and techniques—struggles for power and an ambience of menace—while finding fresh subject matter and means to express his changing dramatic vision. This volume contains three of Pinter's most famous plays, including Old Times, which Clive Barnes called "a joyous, wonderful play that people will talk about as long as we have theater"; a television play, Monologue; and a radio piece, Family Voices.

Harold Pinter has long been acknowledged as one of the most influential playwrights in contemporary theatre; his arresting and original works have left a lasting imprint on the development of the stage and screen while delighting audiences around the world. This, the first of four volumes, contains his first five plays, including The Birthday Party (1958), his first full-length drama; as well as two short stories—The Black and White and The Examination—both written before Pinter turned to the theatre. Pinter's exacting and complex use of language and the features that mark his "comedies of menace" are clearly realized in these plays and…

This is the third volume of the collected works of Harold Pinter, who is regarded by many as the foremost playwright in the English language today. Featured are The Homecoming, one of Pinter's best-known works, along with three other plays, six revue sketches, and a short story. The memoir Mac introduces the volume. Pinter's work during this period clearly displays his developing interest in a number of themes, particularly those having to do with power, communication, personal identity, and the unreliability of memory and knowledge. The Homecoming was described by Richard Gilman as "a brilliant piece of writing," and is considered one of modern drama's most effective presentations of these concerns.(
