Дым (Dym)

Иван Сергеевич Тургенев, Iwan Siergiejewicz Turgieniew

Но добрые дела не разлетаются дымом, они долговечнее самой сияющей красоты...» В романе русского классика Ивана Тургенева «Дым» раскрывается тема трагедии русского интеллигента, честного, умного, одаренного, но вечно мятущегося, не способного ни жить в мире с собой, ни отдаться любви, ни быть полезным обществу.

The Terrible Twins

Edgar Jepson

The twins are living in relatively straightened circumstances, as their father has died, and get up to all kinds of mischief, while being governed by their own set of values. The children, however, have little dread of poverty, for when ever they desire a luxury, such as a bicycle, or a fur stole for their mothers Christmas present, they devise some means to raise the necessary funds, and they stop at nothing from inducing a rich great-aunt to endow a home for cats to poaching for pheasants, and no matter what they do they always come out victorious, even when it comes to making or marring marriages. The Terrible Twins is written in a bright and amusing style and the author has indeed drawn upon a vivid imagination to think of all the scrapes and escapades in which the terrible twins are involved.

The Vintage of Yon Yee

Louise Jordan Miln

The novel is about a young woman of both English and Chinese descent, who must choose between lovers of both races, between East and West. Neither effort, nor suffering, nor experience can give perfection to any person, nor any race. Humanity, individual or herd, can only strive never fully triumph or to fulfill. But there are separate people, there are different people: vintage masculinity, vintage nation.

Elegant Edward

Edgar Wallace

This collection includes 7 mystery short stories, set in Victorian England. These stories depict adventures and misadventures of Elegant Edward, a charming London crook and his attempts to commit the perfect crime. The stories are pleasant and well written and definitely a product of their time and place. Edgar Wallace was a prolific author of crime, adventure and humorous stories, whose best known creations include The Four Just Men, Sanders of the River, and J. G. Reeder. Although Wallace wrote many stand alone novels it is, perhaps, for his series based material-always popular with readers-that he remains best known.
