Nil, nell'estate del 1919, è un bambino timido che pensa alla felicità, quando d'un tratto la Guerra civile travolge il suo piccolo mondo.

È il suo apprendistato al coraggio - il coraggio di "non essere mai stanco di vivere", nonostante tutto. Nei bassifondi, Nil impara a non voltarsi indietro, a sgattaiolare tra gli orrori e a gioire profondamente delle poche cose importanti: la libertà, l'amicizia, l'amore, nella sua banda di mendicanti armati di coltelli finlandesi.

Il giovane studioso Anton Lizavin, nel compilare una tesi sugli scrittori della sua regione, si imbatte nel nome di Simeon Milaševič, una figura marginale e dimenticata, eppure velata di fascino e mistero. Indagando negli archivi, Anton rinviene un piccolo baule pieno di carte apparentemente senza valore, ma sulle quali sono annotati appunti sparsi, riflessioni sospese e aforismi densi di complessità: sono involucri di caramelle che Milaševič ha utilizzato per riversarvi i suoi pensieri, nascondendovi una rivelazione assoluta che Anton è determinato a decifrare.

После развода ее родителей прошло десять лет. Теперь, дочь встречает отца-дальнобойщика и отправляется с ним в дорогу. Их путь лежит через центральную Россию и южные регионы, где их окружает необъятная степь. «Степь» — очень личный роман, пропущенный Оксаной Васякиной через призму своих переживаний. Язык «Степи» — это символизм, поиск образов в пейзажах из окна фуры и глубокие эмоциональные и философские размышления – обо всем что порой так контрастно, но нескончаемо актуально: о жизни и смерти, болезни и здравии, родителях и детях, мужском и женском.

Сюжет основан на реальных фактах из жизни промышленного Урала XIX века. Глубина и художественная сила, с которыми изображается в романе победное шествие капитализма, буржуазные взаимоотношения, исключающие какие-либо нравственные нормы, — поразительны. Автор поставил перед собой задачу показать Россию в её движении по капиталистическому пути, и сделал это первым.

Доктрине прогресса (поступательного развития), которая господствовала в умах европейцев с наступлением эпохи Просвещения, Ницше противопоставил учение о вечном возвращении, о цикличности любого развития. Только сверхчеловек способен с готовностью принять бесконечное возвращение однажды пережитого, включая самые горькие минуты. Отличие такого существа от обычного человека, по Ницше, в порядке отличия человека от обезьяны.

The heroine of Tolstoy's epic of love and self-destruction, Anna Karenina has beauty, wealth, popularity and an adored son, but feels that her life is empty until she encounters the impetuous officer Count Vronsky. Their subsequent affair scandalizes society and family alike, and brings jealousy and bitterness in its wake. Contrasting with this is the vividly observed story of Levin, a man striving to find contentment and a meaning to his life - and also a self-portrait of Tolstoy himself.

Leo Tolstoy began his trilogy Childhood, Boyhood, and Youth in his early twenties. Although he would in his old age famously dismiss it as an ‘awkward mixture of fact and fiction’, generations of readers and listeners have not agreed, finding the series to be a charming and insightful portrait of inner growth against the background of a world limned with extraordinary clarity, grace and color.

Dmitry Andreich Olenin, in the hope of escaping the hollowness of his privilege, joins the army and heads to the Caucasus. There among the foothills he will meet the Cossacks: a people he considers to be at one with the land. In their company he will hunt, he will drink, he will fall in love and, slowly, he will begin to understand that between people, between cultures, there is often a space that cannot be traversed.

In 1851 Leo Tolstoy enlisted in the Russian army and was sent to the Caucasus to help defeat the Chechens. During this war a great Avar chieftain, Hadji Murád, broke with the Chechen leader Shamil and fled to the Russians for safety. Months later, while attempting to rescue his family from Shamil’s prison, Hadji Murád was pursued by those he had betrayed and, after fighting the most heroic battle of his life, was killed.

Helga Schubert erzählt in diesem persönlichen, traurig-schönen Buch von ihrer ersten Begegnung mit Tschechow, ihrer ersten Lektüre seiner Erzählung "Gram", die sie erschüttert und gerettet hat.

Notes from Underground is an 1864 novella by Fyodor Dostoyevsky. Notes is considered by many to be the first existentialist novel. It presents itself as an excerpt from the rambling memoirs of a bitter, isolated unnamed narrator (generally referred to by critics as the Underground Man), who is a retired civil servant living in St. Petersburg. The first part of the story is told in monologue form or the underground man's diary, and attacks emerging Western philosophy

"Storia di una controttava" e altri racconti è un libro in prosa poetica, dove la vita, la natura e soprattutto i sentimenti, ricadono sotto la lente di un potente microscopio. L'opera, scritta probabilmente intorno al 1913, si ispira ai ricordi dei viaggi in Germania compiuti dalla famiglia Pasternak negli anni precedenti.

Der Held des Romans Petschorin, nennt sich Böse und begreift nicht, wieso das Böse eine so große Anziehungskraft besitzen kann. Der Ich-Erzähler des Romans trifft immer wieder auf Petschorin und kann so auch sein Tagebuch lesen. Er ahnt, dass es nicht die Anziehungskraft des Bösen, sondern die Verzweiflung ist, was diesen Mann nicht abstoßend, sondern bemitleidenswert und faszinierend zugleich erscheinen lässt.
