Jack London
“The Scarlet Plague” is a book by Jack London, an American novelist. A pioneer of commercial fiction and an innovator in the genre that would later become known as science fiction. The Scarlet Plague is a post-apocalyptic fiction novel written by Jack London.. The book was noted in 2020 as having been very similar to the COVID-19 pandemic, especially given London wrote it at a time when the world was not as quickly connected by travel as it is today.
Jack London
Books about the future are always interesting to read in order to reflect on what may await us if we do not take certain actions. Usually we imagine that in many years science and technology will reach a new level, people will become more and more developed both physically and mentally, but Jack London in his novel shows a completely different world in which there is no science, medicine is replaced by quackery, and people become worse and worse, gradually sinking morally. Mockery and ridicule of anyone is now normal entertainment for them, their vocabulary is very limited, and their knowledge is scarce.

He is also too proud to ask or ask. This is a popular topic in Blaines school literature because it is one of the most dramatic things that can happen to a schoolboy.
The Schoolmaster and Other Stories
Anton Pavlovich Chekhov
The main theme of the story dedication to his work. Fyodor Lukich never forgets about his students, nor about the ill-treatment that could be imposed on them by others. The end of the story is also interesting, because the reader can again see how devotional Fyodor Lukic really is. He advocates fair treatment to his students to the end.
