Ethel M. Dell
1912. Ethel May Dell (1881-1939), British writer, began writing at a young age. Most of her stories were stories of passion and love set in India and other British colonial possessions. American Nap Errol is in love with reserved Englishwoman, Lady Anne. Lady Anne is unhappily married to an unpleasant, wealthy drunk, who is twice her age. Nap is, in his own and most others opinion, a knave and a bounder. Lady Anne, miserable in her situation, is honor bound to her husband and marriage vows. Nap is soon equally miserable, as Anne refuses to enter into an adulterous liason. Fast paced, involving romance written early in the Twentieth century, The Knave of Diamonds novel stands up well to the test of time.
Aristophanes
Knighs are not just equestrians: the whole estate was called in Athens those who had enough money to keep a war horse. These were wealthy people, had small estates outside the city, lived on their income, and wanted Athens to be a peaceful, closed agricultural state. The poet Aristophanes wanted peace; therefore, he made the riders the chorus of his comedy.
Tadeusz Pankiewicz
Historia krakowskiego getta opowiedziana przez polskiego aptekarza Tadeusz Pankiewicz patrząc na rozgrywającą się pod oknami apteki tragedię krakowskich Żydów uratował ich od niepamięci spisał wiernie dzieje getta. Książka opublikowana po raz pierwszy w 1947 r. Tadeusz Pankiewicz pracował i mieszkał przez dwa i pół roku w getcie. Przeżył wszystkie etapy jego istnienia: od zamknięcia bram i pierwszych szykan, poprzez wysiedlenia, coraz groźniejsze i okrutniej przeprowadzane, aż po zupełną likwidację. W ciągu tego czasu apteka Pod Orłem pełniła oprócz normalnych swych funkcji, które z czasem coraz bardziej się kurczyły rolę azylu i punktu kontaktowego dwu światów: zamkniętej w murach ludności żydowskiej i wolnej, żyjącej poza nimi; jej personel zaś stał się łącznikiem między tymi dwoma światami. Tu można było przeczytać ostatnie wiadomości z frontu, zapoznać się z treścią prasy podziemnej, znaleźć schronienie podczas nocnych aresztowań. Tu zostawiano listy i paczki dla osób mieszkających po stronie aryjskiej jak również odbierano od nich wiadomości i przesyłki. Ci nieliczni mieszkańcy getta, którzy zdołali przeżyć okrutny czas wojny, zachowali do dziś we wdzięcznej pamięci aptekę Pod Orłem i jej właściciela.
The Kreutzer Sonata and Other Stories
Leo Tolstoy
So in this work the reader appears to be one of the companions in the train. At first, there are usual discussions on a common topic, when everyone expresses his opinion, and then, leaving at his station, he remains at his own. But those who go further can hear a frank story about passions, feelings, about the tragedy of one private life. Accurately written about the influence of music. And this moment only emphasizes that the person who so perceives music, deep down in his soul is capable of the strongest experiences. It is not surprising that it was music, observation of what was happening in the soul of musicians during a truly felt performance, that became a powerful impetus to that tragic act.

The Kubernetes Book. Navigate the world of Kubernetes with expertise - Second Edition
Nigel Poulton, Pushkar Joglekar
Containers transformed how we package and deploy applications, but they came with inherent challenges. Kubernetes is a platform for deploying and managing containerized applications at scale. It also abstracts underlying infrastructure, making it easier to deploy and manage applications across heterogenous clouds and on-premises environments. The Kubernetes Book offers a beginner-friendly approach to mastering Kubernetes architecture and core concepts such as Pods, Deployments, Services, StatefulSets, Ingress, & ConfigMaps. It also demystifies the Kubernetes API, teaches you how to secure Kubernetes, and brings you up to speed with important cloud-native concepts such as microservices, declarative configuration, desired state, & reconciliation. The book also serves as a comprehensive guide for software developers, systems administrators, cloud engineers, and architects to help them master Kubernetes. It offers the most precise explanations and is full of practical examples to help develop applications on a laptop and then deploy them to real-world Kubernetes environments. The Kubernetes Book is updated annually, meaning it's always up to date with the latest and greatest in the Kubernetes and cloud-native ecosystems.
