Издание полностью на английском языке. Contains a new afterword by Chuck - published in the UK for the very first time. Every weekend, in basements and parking lots across the country, young men with good white-collar jobs and absent fathers take off their shoes and shirts and fight each other barehanded for as long as they have to. Then they go back to those jobs with blackened eyes and loosened teeth and the sense that they can handle anything. Fight Club is the invention of Tyler Durden, projectionist, waiter and dark, anarchic genius. And it's only the beginning of his plans for revenge on a world where cancer support groups have the corner on human warmth.

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. Адаптация, сокращение и словарь А.В. Шитовой.

From the author of Fight Club, comes a dark, irreverent, hilarious, and brilliant satire about adolescence, Hell, and the Devil. Madison is the thirteen-year-old daughter of a narcissistic film star and a billionaire. Abandoned at her Swiss boarding school over Christmas, she dies over the holiday, presumably of a marijuana overdose. The last thing she remembers is getting into a town car and falling asleep. Then she's waking up in Hell. Literally. Madison soon finds that she shares a cell with a motley crew of young sinners: a cheerleader, a jock, a nerd, and a punk rocker, united by their doomed fate, like an afterschool detention for the damned. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
