The Light Shines in Darkness – ebook
Leo Tolstoy
The drama „The Light Shines” reflects the events of Tolstoy’s life in the broadest, most typified generalizations. Therefore, it would be a gross mistake to fully identify the content of the drama with the life of Tolstoy, his family and those around him. Nevertheless, there is a close relationship between them. So, the drama of Nikolai Ivanovich Saryntsev is, of course, the drama of Tolstoy himself....Data dostępności:

The Power of Darkness – ebook
Leo Tolstoy
The very concept of „The Power of Darkness” for Tolstoy corresponds to the Gospel, where darkness is identified with the concept of hell and death, and light with hope and paradise. The Power of Darkness expresses not only religious, but also philosophical ideas of the great Russian writer.

Much adoe about Nothing – ebook
William Shakespeare
Classic light comedy, fully sustained in the spirit of the plays of this genre. As is characteristic of the dramaturgy of this epoch, the obviousness of the incipient intrigue does not spoil the general charm of the play at all, and the onslaught of free irony and elegant juggling with words and meanings delivers true enjoyment. The plot tells about the creation of a union of two pairs, very different...Data dostępności:

Czas postu, czas uczty - zderzenie kultury indyjskiej i amerykańskiej – ebook
Anita Desai
"Jest to poruszająca, zabawna, zmuszająca do refleksji powieść o stosunkach rodzinnych, panujących współcześnie w dwóch całkiem odmiennych kulturach - indyjskiej i amerykańskiej. Jest to też opowieść o tym, jak zaspakajane są w tych kulturach potrzeby człowieka. Tytuł książki nawiązuje do jedzenia w sensie dosłownym, jak też przenośnym (pożywienie dla ducha). Każda z tych kultur ma obszary „głodu“...Data dostępności:
