Христианство оказало глубокое воздействие на мировую литературу, поэтому во многих произведениях нашли свое художественное воплощение и события Священного Писания, и память о них — церковные праздники. Так, литературное значение Рождества давно признано и писателями, и читателями: существует даже жанр «рождественского или святочного рассказа». А вот Пасха как главный православный праздник получала художественное развитие преимущественно в русской литературе.

Jahre später trifft der nun deutlich gealterte Baron seine Gattin im Zug wieder - und ist entzückt von der strahlenden Schönheit, die ihm gegenüber im Zugabteil sitzt.

Story
Este relato corto cuestiona la moralidad de dos amigos dublineses, Lenehan y Corley. Mientras deambulan por las calles de Dublín, su diálogo revela un plan: Corley ha convencido a su enamorada, una criada, para que robe de sus empleadores y le dé el dinero a él. Lenehan, es partícipe del plan. Joyce pinta con detalle la atmósfera urbana y captura el lenguaje vivo de la calle. El relato culmina con la anticipación tensa de Lenehan por la señal de éxito de Corley, que llega cuando este último finalmente exhibe un objeto robado, simbolizando la corrupción y la explotación en las relaciones humanas.

One of Jane Austen’s most beloved works, Pride and Prejudice, is vividly brought to life by Academy Award nominee Rosamund Pike ( Gone Girl). In her bright and energetic performance of this British classic, she expertly captures Austen’s signature wit and tone. Her attention to detail, her literary background, and her performance in the 2005 feature film version of the novel provide the perfect foundation from which to convey the story of Elizabeth Bennet, her four sisters, and the inimitable Mr. Darcy.

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.
