"В сборник вошли сказки знаменитого русского писателя Михаила Салтыкова-Щедрина:

Премудрый пискарь
Самоотверженный заяц"
"«Медведь на воеводстве» — одна из «взрослых» сказок Михаила Евграфовича Салтыкова-Щедрина, знаменитого русского писателя ХІХ века, опубликована в 1886 году.
Состоит из трех новелл, представляющих пародию на историческую хронику. Три воеводы Топтыгины всячески мечтали продержаться как можно дольше у власти, но исход у каждого был одинаков."
"Сказка «Самоотверженный заяц» русского писателя Михаила Салтыкова-Щедрина, вышедшая в 1883 году.
В этом произведении автор в свойственной ему сатирической манере высмеял рабскую покорность простого народа, его страх перед власть имущими, которые лишь насмехались над ним. Эти мотивы воплощены в образе зайца, приговорённого волком к казни."
"London, 1888.
A Ms. Mary Morstan arrives at 221B Baker Street with a case for Sherlock Holmes and his companion, Dr. John Watson. Some ten years prior, her father, Captain Arthur Morstan, returned to London while on leave from his post in India—only to go missing. Adding another layer to the mystery are six pearls in her possession, having received one per year since 1882. The sixth and most recently received pearl was accompanied by a letter asking for a meeting, claiming Ms. Morstan is a wronged woman.
Holmes and Watson's deductive skills are put to the test in a thrilling adventure involving a map of a fortress bearing four names, poison darts, and high-speed boat chases.
The second of the four Sherlock Holmes novels, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's The Sign of the Four follows Holmes and Watson's debut in A Study In Scarlet. Originally commissioned by Lippincott's Monthly, the novel was published in the magazine in 1890. In the summer of 2024, Doyle's original handwritten manuscript sold for over $900,000 at auction."
"Ещё вчера я был сотрудником специального назначения, а сегодня… Новый мир запихнул мою душу в тело юного графа, у которого не было мозгов, принципов, и напрочь отсутствовала мораль. Отсюда и своеобразное отношение к его личности.
Я - последний истинный наследник древнего бога.
Учитывая мой боевой опыт и ум, можно всё изменить.
Но не всё так безоблачно.
Человек, который, убил меня в прошлом мире, явно и сюда запустил свои руки."

"John Marcher lives his life haunted by the premonition of an impending, cataclysmic event destined to shatter his existence—a fate he refers to as 'the beast in the jungle.' As years pass, he confides in the steadfast May Bartram, who quietly observes his ceaseless anticipation. In this masterful exploration of missed opportunities and introspective despair, Henry James presents a poignant meditation on the paralyzing nature of fear and the tragic cost of a life unlived."
"Предлагаем вашему вниманию философско-драматический роман великого французского писателя Виктора Гюго «Человек, который смеётся», написанный в 1860-х годах.
В романе рассказывается о жизни молодого дворянина, также известного как Гуинплен, изуродованного в детстве (по приказу короля), который путешествует со своим защитником и спутником, бродячим философом Урсусом, и Деа, маленькой девочкой, спасённой им во время шторма. Роман известен благодаря изуродованному лицу Гуинплена, на котором застыла гримаса постоянного смеха."
"Japan, 1745, is a land under the iron grip of the Tokugawa shoguns. Roads are monitored, dissent stifled, and order maintained through blackmail and an extensive network of informers. Amid rumors of rebellion, Kurosawa Kinko—samurai and monk—is expelled in disgrace as the head music instructor of his Zen temple in Nagasaki. He begins an odyssey across Japan, dogged by agents and assassins from an unknown foe. Along his journey, Kinko encounters a compelling cast of merchants, ronin, courtesans, spies, warriors, hermits, and spirits, on a quest to redeem his honor. Inspired by the life of the historical Kurosawa Kinko (1710–1771), master of the shakuhachi flute and founder of the Kinko-ryu school, Song of the Samurai takes the listener on a richly textured exploration of feudal Japan and the complexities of the human spirit.
This enhanced audiobook includes shakuhachi musical interludes performed by the author."
"Adam Bede is a classic novel set in the English countryside that delves into the lives of ordinary people.
The story centers on the virtuous carpenter Adam Bede and his unrequited love for the beautiful but shallow Hetty Sorrel. Their paths soon diverge as Hetty becomes entangled in a forbidden romance with the aristocratic Arthur Donnithorne. The novel delves into themes of social class, morality, and the complexities of human nature."
"The Empires of Varkal and Med'ariz have always been at war.
Alefret, the founder of Varkal's pacifist resistance, was bombed and maimed by his own government, locked up in a secret prison and tortured by a 'visionary' scientist. But now they're offering him a chance of freedom.
Ordered to infiltrate one of Med'ariz's flying cities, obeying the bloodthirsty zealot Qhudur, he must find fellow anti-war activists in the enemy's population and provoke them into an uprising against their rulers.
He should refuse to serve the warmongers, but what if he could end this pointless war once and for all? Is that worth compromising his own morals and the principles of his fellow resistance members?"
"Wittgenstein's Mistress is a novel unlike anything David Markson or anyone else has ever written before. It is the story of a woman who is convinced and, astonishingly, will ultimately convince the listener as well that she is the only person left on earth.
Presumably she is mad. And yet so appealing is her character, and so witty and seductive her narrative voice, that we will follow her hypnotically as she unloads the intellectual baggage of a lifetime in a series of irreverent meditations on everything and everybody from Brahms to sex to Heidegger to Helen of Troy. And as she contemplates aspects of the troubled past which have brought her to her present state—obviously a metaphor for ultimate loneliness—so too will her drama become one of the few certifiably original fictions of our time.
'The novel I liked best this year,' said the Washington Times upon the book's publication; 'one dizzying, delightful, funny passage after another . . . Wittgenstein's Mistress gives proof positive that the experimental novel can produce high, pure works of imagination.'"
