Thirteen year old Madison has problems: she's overweight, ignored by her movie star parents, and in love with her adopted brother. She's also dead. But not just dead. Madison is in Hell. Chuck Palahniuk's latest, Damned, takes us on Madison's journey through Hell, as she navigates the Hillocks of Discarded Nail Pairings and the River of Vomit, meeting everyone from Charles Darwin to Marilyn Monroe, with a colorful cast of characters (damned for unspeakable acts, like wearing white shoes after Labor Day), to determine why she's really there, and whether she will be damned for eternity. In Damned, Hell really does exist, as a place where your only career choice is telemarketer (yes, that's where those calls actually originate), the currency is Halloween candy, and 'the in-flight movie is always The English Patient, never The Breakfast Club.' With witty, laugh-out-loud prose, and a twist like only Palahniuk can write, this dark comedic novel is sure to be ranked among his best.

Нашумевший Бойцовский клуб американского писателя Чака Паланика начинался как короткий рассказ, который в конечном итоге стал шестой главой сильного культового произведения, опубликованного в конце ХХ века. Роман произвёл эффект разорвавшейся бомбы. Циничный текст мгновенно растащили на цитаты, а три года спустя на экраны вышел одноимённый фильм, до сих пор числящийся среди лучших картин, вызвавших большой общественный резонанс. Литературные критики по-разному трактуют тематику романа: здесь и нигилизм, и религиозные мотивы, и игры разума, и критика общества потребления, и история романтических отношений. Но как утверждает сам автор, его герой - это просто одинокий человек, ищущий способы сблизиться с окружающими, быть понятым, принятым и любимым. В книге представлен сокращённый и адаптированный текст уровня Intermediate. .

JUNE 1814. As London celebrates the defeat of Napoleon, the festive atmosphere is marred by the brutal murder of a disgraced British nobleman long thought dead. Sebastian St. Cyr, Viscount Devlin, feels a kinship with the deceased man and is drawn into the investigation by his valet, an old friend of the victim. Eighteen years earlier, Nicholas Hayes, the third son of the late Earl of Seaforth, was accused of killing a beautiful young French emigre and then transported to Botany Bay for life. Even before his conviction, Hayes had been disowned by his father, and few in London were surprised when they heard he died a convict in New South Wales. But those reports were obviously wrong. Recently Hayes returned to London with a mysterious young boy in tow—a child who vanishes shortly after Nicholas's body is discovered. Sebastian begins to piece together the shattered life of the late Earl's ill-fated youngest son. Why did Nicholas risk his life and freedom by returning to England? And why did he bring the now-missing young boy with him? Several nervous Londoners had reason to fear that Nicholas Hayes had returned to kill them. One of them might have decided to kill him first.
