Real analysis book suggestion I am searching for a real analysis book (instead of Rudin's) which satisfies the following requirements:


*

*clear, motivated (but not chatty), clean exposition in definition-theorem-proof style;

*complete (and possibly elegant and explicative) proofs of every theorem;

*examples and solved exercises;

*possibly, the proofs of the theorems on limits of functions should not use series;

*generalizations of theorem often given for $\mathbb{R}$ to metric spaces and also to topological spaces.


Thank you very much in advance for your assistance.
 A: Mathematical Analysis by Tom M Apostol
A: I recommend  a combination of books Real Mathematical Analysis (Undergraduate Texts in Mathematics) by Charles C. Pugh  together with
Elementary Classical Analysis
by Jerrold E. Marsden, Michael J. Hoffman.These books are concise, motivate the theorems are an elegant presentation.But do not introduce topological spaces.
I believe the book that will satisfy all the requirements of the question will be: Analysis I and Analysis II written by  Vladimir A. Zorich. This book has the disadvantage of having an encyclopedic character. 
The Zorich's book brings the generalizations of theorem is often do given to $\mathbb{R}$ to metric spaces and topological spaces also to.
A: Lang's "Real and Functional Analysis" is very thorough and to the point.  Rather than presenting theorems for $\mathbb{R}$ and then generalizing to metric/topological spaces, Lang typically presents theorems in their most general form up front and then specializes as necessary to illustrate important cases.  This is, in fact, my favorite part of this book: Lang has some extremely general (and elegant) constructions that I have not seen anywhere else.  The prime example here is the Lebesgue integral, which usually is developed first for positive, real-valued functions, then extended to general real-valued functions, then to vector-valued functions, etc.  Instead, Lang jumps straight to integrating functions on Banach spaces, knocking off all the aforementioned cases simultaneously.  This results in a much more streamlined presentation (in my opinion).
The price you have to pay for the greater generality is some loss of motivation.  It's worth noting in this vein that many analysists are not fond of Lang's book (presumably for this reason).  I think it's worthwhile (especially if you intend to use this as a supplement to books like Rudin's).
A: Intro to Real Analysis by Brannan from Cambridge University Press.
A: The Elements of Real Analysis by Robert Bartle
Methods of Real Analysis by Goldberg (harder to find maybe)
Foundations of Modern Analysis by Friedman (perhaps more terse than what you are after but excellent at highlighting what's important)
A: Real Analysis by Royden and Fitzpatrick...
...+ solutions manual
A: When I asked this question to my professor he told me to get 'Introduction to Analysis' by Maxwell Rosenlicht. It's a short read, but It covered everything I needed for the course.
A: Analysis 1 and Analysis 2 by Terence Tao.
A: I really like Howland's 'Basic Real Analysis'.  The only unfortunate bit is that the topology proofs are in appendices. That said, the book is readable with only basic calculus, and really well-written for the student (rather than as a reference text). 
A: Real Analysis for Graduate Students by Richard Bass.
A: Transcript of Vaughan Jones's Lecture Notes (virtually verbatim)
