Story
Роман "Крестьяне" был создан Бальзаком в последний период его творчества. Роман строится на показе широких социальных явлений, на драматическом столкновении массовых материальных интересов. Ни в одном другом своем произведении не ставил с такой мужественной правдивостью и прямотой вопрос о существовании двух наций внутри одного общества - нации господ и рабов, имущих и неимущих, хозяев жизни и обездоленных.

Story
1984 centers on the consequences of totalitarianism, mass surveillance, and repressive regimentation of persons and behaviors within society. Orwell modeled the totalitarian government in the novel after Stalinist Russia. More broadly, the novel examines the role of truth and facts within politics and the ways in which they are manipulated. The story takes place in an imagined future, the year 1984 when much of the world has fallen victim to perpetual war, omnipresent government surveillance, historical negationism, and propaganda.

Легендарный роман о городе Санта-Тереза, расположенном на мексикано-американской границе, где сталкиваются заключенные и академики, американский журналист, сходящий с ума философ и таинственный писатель-отшельник. Этот город скрывает страшную тайну. Здесь убивают женщин, количество погибших растет с каждым днем, и вот уже многие годы власти ничего не могут с этим поделать. Санта-Тереза охвачена тьмой, в городе то ли действует серийный убийца, то ли все связала паутина масштабного заговора, и чем дальше, тем большая паранойя охватывает его жителей.

Story
Тысяча семьсот седьмой год только начался. Русские войска бьются со шведами, убивают, гибнут, защищая Отечество. В Русском царстве неспокойно, а порой и страшно: постоянные бунты на окраинах огромного государства, набеги крымских татар чуть ли не каждой весной. Молодой, лишенный отцовского внимания и заботы царевич Алексей находится под опекой светлейшего князя Меншикова, столь же деятельного, как государь, и при этом почти не обращающего внимания на сына своего господина. Так случилось, что очередной поход в баню закончился для царевича странной потерей сознания, после чего очнулся он не таким, каким был еще несколько дней назад.

Story
Историк Сергей Плохих рассказывает малоизвестную захватывающую историю о сотрудничестве советских и американских военных на авиабазах BBC в Полтавской области. В ней на коротком промежутке времени произошел переход от сотрудничества ради общей цели к враждебности и взаимной неприязни, подобно тому, как недавние державы-союзницы участницы вступили в холодную войну. Автор раскрывает этот конфликт на нескольких уровнях. В книге показаны, как политические мотивы высшего эшелона власти, так и бытовая жизнь американских и советских военных на базах.

Story
Мальчишки из "Никеля" — это история афроамериканского подростка Элвуда Кертиса, мечтавшего стать учителем, но оказавшегося в исправительном школе за преступление, которого не совершал. Жизнь в ней оказывается больше похожа на ад, и единственным спасением Элвуда становится дружба с другим воспитанником — Тернером. Элвуд безнадежно наивен и верит в торжество справедливости, а Тернер убежден в том, что мир был, есть и будет жесток и несправедлив, и этого не изменить. Столкновение идеализма Элвуда с цинизмом Тернера приводит к принятию ими решения, которое будет иметь катастрофические последствия.

Лоуренс начал писать Флейту Аарона в начале 1918 года, но отказался от работы после первых одиннадцати глав. Завершена книга была лишь тремя годами позже. Написанный сразу после Первой мировой войны, роман ставит под сомнение многие признанные социальные и политические институты того времени. Главный герой – флейтист Аарон, бежит из Англии в Италию, пытаясь понять природу политических и религиозных идеологий, сформировавших западную цивилизацию и найти свое место в жизни.

Story
Авторы обработали важные блоки истории Европы и Византии XI—XVII веков. Знаменитые византийские деятели - Василий Богомил и Иоанн Итал оказываются яркими отражениями императора Андроника-Христа, то есть князя Андрея Боголюбского из XII века. Например, проясняется знаменитый евангельский сюжет: почему рядом с Христом на Голгофе были распяты два "разбойника". Оказывается, Благоразумный разбойник символизирует учеников Христа, продолжавших почитать Его после суда. А Безумный разбойник — это образ учеников, которые отказались от Христа.

For decades we've been told that positive thinking is the key to a happy, rich life. "F*ck positivity," Mark Manson says. "Let's be honest, shit is f*cked, and we have to live with it." In his wildly popular Internet blog, Manson doesn't sugarcoat or equivocate. He tells it like it is - a dose of raw, refreshing, honest truth that is sorely lacking today. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck is his antidote to the coddling, let's-all-feel-good mind-set that has infected modern society and spoiled a generation, rewarding them with gold medals just for showing up.
