- A predecessor to such monumental works such as „Crime and Punishment” and „The Brothers Karamazov”, „Notes From Underground” represents a turning point in Dostoyevsky’s writing towards the more political side.

- The story „Father Sergius” is one of Tolstoy’s most deeply personal works. This is a story about leaving. This is her main topic, and all the more curious, that its meaning did not develop immediately, with the accumulation of some own spiritual experience, which he was in no hurry to put on paper, and even more so – to publish.

There are enough love interests, mysterious meetings, solemn balls and the necessary beautiful bouncer to pat all the hearts of young ladies. Indecision and murder provide the backdrop for this gothic novel.

- Originally published in 1830, here we have perhaps Balzac’s best short work, named simply „Gobseck”. Gobseck is a marvelous sketch of a money-lender and miser in Paris during the early part of the nineteenth century who is a font of psychological insight when it comes to humankind’s greed, vanity and other dark motives. His philosophy of never helping anyone because „adversity is the greatest of all...

- The beauty of „A Room of One’s Own” is that it serves as an example of peace of mind, which, as Wooolf insists, is the defining quality of all great artists. Her transparent and elegant essay is devoted not only to the necessary material conditions of writing, but also to the self-overcoming of the creator. Virginia Woolf, in her essay, talks about a woman’s right to work. The writer considers a centuries-old...

- Swann’s Way is one of the preeminent novels of childhood – a sensitive boy’s impressions of his family and neighbors, all brought dazzlingly back to life years later by the famous taste of a madeleine. The first volume of the work that established Proust as one of the finest voices of the modern age – satirical, skeptical, confiding, and endlessly varied in his response to the human condition – Swann’s...

- The story is set around the Wentworth mention, a small boarding house in Bolton Spa and its owners and lodgers. They are quite unlikable, mainly upper-middle-class English people who came to the Spa to cure their body illnesses, but also to fill the time and escape boredom despite having no passions, interests and work. A delightful book for anybody familiar with Benson’s work, full of all the usual...

- Mark Twain bequeathed to publish his autobiography without cuts only a hundred years after his death, and she first saw the light in 2010. Now, finally, many readers can meet this amazingly witty book. Twain’s autobiography is very unusual: amusing episodes alternate with sad ones, sparkling jokes give way to serious reasoning – and the large-scale personality of the writer, who has presented the world...

- A novel was born and developed in literature, which we call classic English in terms of both plot and character of the heroes and style of presentation. Victorian books became the standard for many decades, inspiring all European literature, and later cinema, to create real masterpieces of romance. The multibook includes books such as „Jane Eyre”, „Wuthering Heights”, „Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and...

- Despite the fact that, as the name implies, they are diverse in nature, most of these stories are affectionate satires with the participation of the social strata into which he belonged and who knew best of all – a class of officers from a public school. The „Honor of the War” was a funny story of „hooliganism” in which Kipling seemed to fully endorse this practice; Regulus removes the lid from the...

- Twice-Told Tales is a two-volume collection of thirty-nine Hawthorne works, consisting of short works of art, allegories, and narrative essays. The greatest gift a reader receives when reading all these stories, including sometimes too superficial vignettes and too obvious allegories, is a close acquaintance with young Hawthorne: thoughtful, reflective, with a deep interest in colonial and revolutionary...

And it simply struck the appearance, the rebuke of the Angel, how he watched everything, how he smiled at the hearty people who have faith. As a person blossoms after doing good, and faith becomes even...

- The book reflects the state of 19th-century society in the United States – votes in the Senate and Congress are bought and sold, all this is carefully hidden and masked. The curse of the „Tennessee” land, which could but did not enrich the young people who are the heirs of this land, is largely activated by the heirs themselves – typical Americans of that time, who want to quickly make a fortune.
