Childe Harolds Pilgrimage. Cantos IIV
George Gordon Byron
The book, which at one time produced the most ambitious scandal in the history of British literature of the XIX century. This is a book that was desperately admired and equally desperately outraged. The poem that shocked the foundations of the foundations of morality and morality of its era and gave the world one of the most famous literary heroes of mankind a hero without whom neither Pushkin Onegin nor Lermontov Pechorin would exist.
Leo Tolstoy
This work is about how black stripes always alternate with white. Oh grief. Oh happiness. On the formation of the child as a person. About the first feelings, sensations and emotions. About first love, about childrens love and just about love. About how a child learns his mind, for the first time experiences one of the most terrible events of his life the death of his mother, about how he first feels one of the most beautiful and bright feelings his first love, about how he feels affection, grief.
Jack London
The protagonist of the story the old Imber from the White Fish tribe can cause conflicting feelings among readers he killed many white people without much reason, at first glance. He does not hide from justice, but he himself comes to the city of Yukon and admits everything he has done. What prompted him to such an act? And does the reason that prompted Imber to kill, deserve understanding?

Charles Dickens
Here are 10 stories to introduce readers of all ages to Charles Dickens and his Victorian England filled with orphans, expectations, and Christmas spirits, including adaptations of Dickens geared toward young readers, engaging looks into the authors life, and a few kid-friendly classics straight from the authors quill. The most famous and funny short stories include the Childs Story, The Cratchits Christmas Dinner, A Christmas Carol, Hunted Down and The Poor Relations Story, Little Dorrit. In lots of these children were important characters. In his day, no one understood children better than Dickens, and he was the first writer to describe what children thought and felt and to capture the way they spoke. And he was not afraid to write about the hard and sad lives that many children led.
