Книга "Толстой. Мысли на каждый день" составлена из фрагментов писем, дневников, записных книжек Льва Николаевича. Эти цитаты способны замотивировать, развеселить, помочь переосмыслить жизнь и, конечно, лучше узнать и понять самого Толстого, чьи философские взгляды и самобытность вдохновляют до сих пор. "Изумительно велик этот человек, и поражает он живучестью своего духа, так поражает, что думаешь — подобный ему — невозможен..." — говорил о нем Максим Горький.

Die "Rhone Saga" verbindet lyrische Emphase mit sachlicher Beschreibung. In "Brüchen und Neuanfängen" evoziert Imhasly die alpine und die mediterrane Kultur als eine elementare Landschaft, deren Geheimnis sich in den archaischen Bräuchen und in der ungebändigten Natur offenbart.

Story
Трилогия о мушкетерах Александра Дюма была и остается эталоном приключенческого жанра, который не только пробуждает в детстве интерес к истории и историческим романам, но и знакомит с понятиями "настоящая дружба", "честь" и "бесстрашие", оставляя впечатление на всю жизнь. Действие романа разворачивается через двадцать лет после событий «Трех мушкетеров». Дерзкий и смелый девиз «Один за всех и все за одного» гораздо легче срывается с уст энергичной и бесшабашной молодости. А потом даже самые неутомимые герои стареют, беднеют и теряют запал.

Записки из подполья — произведение классика русской литературы и одного из лучших романистов мирового уровня Ф. М. Достоевского (1821–1881). Повесть построена на контрастах. Кроме того, автор описывает не конкретного героя, а некий тип людей — собирательный образ. Повесть написана так необычно, что читатели не сразу поняли ее и отождествляли идеологию «подпольного» человека (замкнутого, озлобленного, порвавшего связь с внешним миром) с мировоззрением писателя.

A disturbing tale of a young man's uncanny ability to remain both young and beautiful while descending into a life of heartless debauchery, The Picture of Dorian Gray was considered proof of both Wilde's genius and his perversion. Oscar Wilde's scandalous best seller of 1891 was one of the most damning pieces of evidence used against him in the trial that brought about his downfall.

Story
From his perspective in Renaissance Italy, Machiavelli's aim in this classic work was to resolve conflict with the ruling prince, Lorenzo de Medici. Machiavelli based his insights on the way people really are rather than an ideal of how they should be. This is the world's most famous master plan for seizing and holding power. Astonishing in its candor The Prince even today remains a disturbingly realistic and prophetic work on what it takes to be a prince, a king, or a president.

Story
The Trial tells the story of a man arrested for an unknown crime by a remote, inaccessible authority and his struggle for control over the increasing absurdity of his life. One of Franz Kafka's best-known works, The Trial has been variously interpreted as an examination of political power, a satirical depiction of bureaucracy, and a pessimistic religious parable. Left unfinished at the time of Kafka's 1924 death, The Trial is nevertheless a trenchant depiction of the seemingly incomprehensible nature of existence....

Allow yourself to get lost in the lives of three Russian aristocratic families, whose triumphs and challenges are every bit as resonant to today’s listener as they were to original readers.
