The Ball and The Cross – ebook
G.K. Chesterton
A very good Christian book, which, nevertheless, speaks not so much about Christianity in itself, as about humanity, as the principle of life in general. If there were such a category as „social Christian romance”, then this book would be one of the most remarkable examples. The book is attractive and not only because of the description of a non-ideal world, but also because of the author’s attitude...Data dostępności:

A Room of One’s Own – ebook
Virginia Woolf

Virginia Woolf, in her essay, talks about a woman’s right to work. The writer considers a centuries-old...Data dostępności:

The Sorrows of Young Werther – ebook
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The tragic story of a young burgher, who could not find an answer to his feelings and rejected by society, was instantly translated into other languages and gave rise to a series of sequels and imitations – the so-called Verterian.
