All Quiet on the Western Front

"All Quiet on the Western Front' is one of the most significant literary works of the 20th century. Its characters, like the author himself, belong to the 'lost generation' - a generation whose youth was lost in the trenches of World War I. Eighteen and nineteen-year-olds arrive at the front almost directly from school, encouraged by their teachers to fulfill their duty to the fatherland. Yet they question what this duty means, aware they're shooting at young enemies just like themselves, who similarly long for home and peace and question the war's purpose. The cruelty of the war machine, in which they are mere cogs, first strips them of their humanity and eventually their lives - making them quite literally a 'lost generation.'"

Erich Maria Remarque (Author), Arthur Lane (Narrator)

Buck, a mix of St. Bernard and Scottish Shepherd, is a strong and resilient creature, ideal for pulling dog sleds in the frosty Alaska.

When he is sold to a dog trader in the autumn of 1897, his peaceful life comes to an end, and arduous struggles begin. Fate throws him from place to place, transfers him from owner to owner, showing the dog the entire range of human and animal behaviors in extreme situations. As events unfold, his wild nature also awakens in the canine hero - a desire for unlimited, human-uncontrolled freedom and liberty.

Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland

"A book for the collective reading of all generations - each person will find their own interpretation and their own enchantment here. The fairy tale story of Alice's adventures in Wonderland was created on a hot July afternoon in 1862, when during a boat ride on the Thames, Lewis Carroll, a mathematics lecturer at Oxford and author of serious mathematical books, told it to little Alice and her two sisters. And it was this story, not the scientific works, that brought the writer worldwide fame. Encouraged by the immense success of the book, Carroll wrote a second part of the story a few years later, titled Alice Through the Looking Glass. 'Alice in Wonderland' is a special work. It does not present the world as we see it every day, but shows it in the dream of the heroine, and dreams, as you know, are ruled by different laws. Therefore, in the book, known fragments of reality are arranged into completely new, often nonsensical wholes, and real characters, mixed with fantastic ones, look and behave differently than in life. And one more note: 'Alice in Wonderland' is one of those books that are worth returning to. Once you read it as a strange fairy tale, full of extraordinary, surprising events, but on the next reading, many new meanings will be revealed to you. However, every reader will always be amazed by the richness of the author's imagination and ingenuity, and each will succumb to the charm of his unique humor."
