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.

Jackie Kay’s new collection is a lyric counterpart to her memoir, Red Dust Road, the extraordinary story of the search for her Nigerian and Highland birth-parents; but it is also a moving book in its own right, and a deep enquiry into all forms of human friendship. Fiere – Scots for ‘companion, friend, equal’ – is a vivid description of the many paths our lives take, and of how those journeys are made meaningful by our companions on the road: lovers, friends, parents, children, mentors – as well as all the remarkable and chance acquaintances we would not otherwise have made.

In fuga dalla schiavitù, il viaggio di una madre alla ricerca dei figli e della libertà. "È questa la libertà?" si chiede Rachel, mentre corre in una foresta immersa nel buio, sola, atterrita, esausta. Sta scappando dalla piantagione in cui ha trascorso tutta la sua esistenza, da un lavoro sfibrante, da un padrone brutale. Lo stesso padrone che, quella mattina del 1834, ha annunciato la fine della schiavitù, per poi aggiungere che tutti loro avrebbero dovuto prestare servizio come apprendisti per altri sei anni. Una beffa atroce. In quell'istante, qualcosa in Rachel si è spezzato.

Inhalt: Londoner Vergnügungen und Ergötzlichkeiten charakterisiert amüsant die englische Mittelklasse, deren Feierabend- und Wochenendaktivitäten durch die Konstanz bzw.

Der Strom richtet den Fokus auf die Wassersportbegeisterung der Londoner und zwar in aktiver wie passiver Weise. Zu einer Zeit als Die Morgenpostkutschen ein alternatives Beförderungsinstrument der Großstadt abbildeten, war es mit gewissen Unannehmlichkeiten verbunden sich einen Platz in selbigen zu sichern.

Наталка Полтавка Івана Котляревського — це романтично-сатирична п'єса про любов і вірність. Наталка і Петро кохають одне одного, однак злидні і бідність змушують їх розлучитися, а в цей час до дівчини сватається багатий возний Тетерваковський, нелюбий її серцю. Однак, для закоханих матеріальний достаток не є важливішим за щирі почуття. Перемежована піснями і легким гумором, Наталка Полтавка Івана Котляревського є класичним українським драматургічним твором. П'єса написана двома мовами — українською та російською.

Story
Este libro está dirigido a los lectores que buscan una introducción a la confusa diversidad de la literatura alemana. El orden cronológico elegido es el más adecuado para este fin porque, a diferencia de los métodos de ordenación orientados a temas o géneros, muestra una génesis y traza la genealogía de la literatura alemana. El hecho de que la novela de Goethe Wilhelm Meisters Lehrjahre probablemente habría tenido un aspecto completamente distinto sin el Simplicissimus de Hans Jakob Christoffel von Grimmelshausen puede mostrarse más fácil y eficazmente en el contexto de un viaje en el tiempo presentado cronológicamente.

Story
П'єса класика української драматургії Івана Карпенка-Карого Сто тисяч є психологічною трагікомедією, у якій розкриваються такі людські вади, як жадоба наживи та споживацький спосіб життя. Для головного героя твору — сільського багатія Герасима Калитки, сенс життя зводиться до того, аби купувати все більше і більше землі, ставати все багатшим і перевершити найзаможнішого чоловіка на селі — Жолудя. Прагнучи з усього отримати вигоду, Калитка позичає гроші кумові під заставу та прагне одружити свого сина з донькою багатія Пузиря.

Story
Un annuncio misterioso, uno scherzo innocente e un duello tra un coniglio e una pantera immateriali danno il via a Sorella di Messalina di Annie Vivanti, una storia avvincente. Alberto, un giovane pittore di talento, si ritrova intrappolato in una rete di inganni e distruzione tessuta da una donna enigmatica. Conosciuta come Raimonda per Alberto e Rosalia per Adriano, questa donna misteriosa danza nelle tenebre. Il suo vero nome non ha importanza. Non è bella, né giovane, né buona, ma chiunque la incontri non può più lasciarla, pur sapendo che non c’è speranza di uscirne indenne.

Story
"Hay una miríada de relatos en la tradición judía, y en parte también en la musulmana, que describe a Caín de forma diferente a la versión bíblica; y yo, que al fin y al cabo no soy más que un cuentacuentos, he trabajado sobre esos relatos alternativos." En esta obra, Andrea Camilleri ofrece una visión insólita y sorprendente del primer homicida de la historia. Se trata de un Caín inventor del concepto de elección, y por tanto de la idea de responsabilidad de la que descienden las nociones tan radicadas en la cultura occidental, de culpa y culpabilidad.

Story
Este es un relato inquietante, cruel y sobrecogedor. Es breve, contado a manera de diario. Aunque corto, sus palabras no son efímeras. A lo largo de los días, el juez desvela los secretos de la naturaleza humana. Quien rastree sus pasos se percatará que no existe criterio moral para salvar una vida u otra. En este relato, El Loco, Maupassant nos invita a seguir a un juez, que ha muerto a sus ochenta y dos años de edad. Muchos lo aclamaban en vida y fueron ellos los que le lloraron el día de su funeral.
Written by: Guy de Maupassant
