The Rescue. A Romance of the Shallows

Joseph Conrad

Rescue is not just muscular descriptions of a boiling sea or some kind of intrigue or action. Konrad decisively decides things like lengthy / nuanced conversations. But, as in all his books, Rescue is darkly intense, much more happening under the surface than even the characters think. This is not an easy book to concentrate on. Tension, uncertainty about what will happen next, a gloomy atmosphere all this is alive and overwhelming.

Бесы (Biesy)

Fiodor Dostojewski

Роман «Бесы», как и другие произведения Достоевского, поражает своей специфической глубокой философией. Это безусловно роман-предостережение и роман-пророчество, в котором великий писатель и мыслитель указывает на грядущие социальные катастрофы. В романе речь идет не только о «неправильном» устройстве общества 2013 но и о душе человека, о том, что ей грозит разложение с гибелью. Души должны исцелиться. Ведь разные теории про переустройство мира способны привести к слепоте духовной и безумию, в случаи утраты способности различать добро и зло.

The Power-House

John Buchan

Edward Leithen is a young British lawyer who learns that one of his Oxford contemporaries, Charles Pitt-Heron, has just disappeared. Leithen learns from Pitt-Herons wife that he has been forced to flee.

His suspicions begin to center on a wealthy, well-known, and intelligent businessman, who reveals himself to Leithen as an ardent anarchist. The barrister finds himself the target of many watchers, and then, as his understanding of the conspiracy involving the Power House grows, he is trapped and chased unrelentingly. The Author, despite being very busy in Public Service, wrote over fifty books during his life but his particular talent was for writing fast-moving adventure stories. The Power-House, a good example of this genre, was published in 1916.
