"За мишките и хората" (1937) се радва на голям успех още с появата си. Това е невероятно затрогващ разказ за сложната спойка между двама мигриращи селскостопански работници - Джордж Милтън и Лени Смол. Те пътуват от ферма на ферма в търсене на временна работа и мечтаят един ден да си имат собствена ферма. Лени е едър и тромав, умствено изостанал мъж, който по детски се радва на всичко пухкаво и меко. Джордж бащински го закриля и внимава Лени да не направи някоя беля поради извънредно голямата си физическа сила, която не умее да контролира... Джон Стайнбек (1902 - 1968) е роден в калифорнийския град Салинас, ... |

Three Men in a Boat is a comic classic. When it first appeared in 1889 it became a best seller, and has remained popular ever since. This motley novel has not only been translated into many languages but has also been staged, filmed, televised and imitated. The adventures and misfortunes on the Thames of the three English friends and their pugnacious dog, Montmorency, provide rich humour, shrewd observations, lyrical reflections, and, predominantly, genially ironic perceptions of human fallibility. The sequel, Three Men on the Bummel, reunites the three friends for their "Bummel" ("roaming or wandering& ... |

This collection of Poe's work contains some of the most exciting and haunting stories ever written.

The Tarot of Light and Shadow presents a new multi-layered way of working with the Tarot: using two decks to explore the Shadow and Light sides of any questions at once. Although some professional readers have used this idea with different packs, and to great effect, this is the first time two Tarot decks have been designed specifically to work together. In fact, they can be seen not as two separate decks but as one deck appearing in two dimensions. The principle of the two-deck system can be explained as follows: there are two sides to every question and two sides to every answer. Answers come both from within and ... |
