The Three Sisters

Anton Pavlovich Chekhov

In the center of attention, as you can already guess from the very name, three sisters who dream, love and of course talk a lot about life. All of them are waiting for happiness and hope for a happy future. Chekhov was able to very well reveal the images of the sisters. Before us are three heroines with different characters, different habits, but at the same time, they received one upbringing and were very educated. The action takes place in a provincial town. With all her thoughts, the heroines rush to Moscow. It is there that they think to find their happiness and fulfill all their dreams.

The Book of all Power

Edgar Wallace

A really top-notch literary thriller from Edgar Wallace. The story is set in Russia and England around the time of WW1. We follow a 22-year-old man on his first assignment for a Russian-English oil company as he becomes embroiled in intrigue and romance involving a beautiful Grand Duchess, American mobster Cherry Bim, and the influential Israel Kensky and his magical book of all power. It is through Hays eyes that we see the steady erosion of the existing Russian aristocracy and the rise of the proletariat. The novel really belongs to Hay and his circle of confederates. A high-spirited romp through the Russian Revolution with the aid of more coincidences than you can shake a stick at and a good dose of dramatic licence.

Annes House of Dreams

Lucy Maud Montgomery

A chronicle of Annes early married life, as she and her childhood sweetheart Gilbert Blythe begin to build their life together in the little house of dreams in the picturesque, lonely and sometimes wild seascapes of Four Winds Harbour. A tale uniting the much-loved characters also brings a farewell to Anne Shirley and officially welcomes Anne Blythe. It also introduces intriguing and entertaining new characters Captain Jim, the tragic Lesley, the outspoken and warmhearted Miss Cornelia and homely Susan. While Annes days are filled with triumphs and tragedies, her imagination, spirit, and sense of humor guide her as she navigates this next chapter in her extraordinary life. Montgomerys fifth installment changes its perception of Anne adding a new tone of sadness to the series which differs from that of the previous books.

Nobodys Man

Brigadier general Andrew Tallente, late of Parliament, is implicated in the death of his male secretary, the son of a classmate at Eton. Seems the younger man may have not only been having an affair with the heros American wife, but had stolen incriminating political documents. A political coup of sorts develops as the opposing party invites Tallente to lead them. Enter the lovely heiress-next-door, who becomes the heros champion, and perhaps, new flame.
