1740—41 года. Анна Иоанновна, умирая, назначает регентом над младенцем-императором ненавистного всем Бирона. Но его недолгое правление обрывает дворцовый переворот. Столица ликует. И только канцлер Остерман знает, что близится беда: Швеция грозит не только войной, но и новым переворотом с возведением на престол царевны Елизаветы. В такое смутное время приятели-офицеры отчаянными поступками пытаются противостоять несправедливости. А Василий, возвращаясь из ссылки, попадает в новую авантюру.

Местами скучная книга. Но не одни сопли. Если из плюсов, то автор действительно передал какие-то чувства. Если вам интересно, как человек за три месяца разуверился во всем, остался без здоровья, друзей и даже без Родины, на которую не может вернуться, то можете почитать. Когда тебя предали и продали десяток раз, и ты проиграл на этой войне, то тут уже ничего не поделаешь. Может г. герою повезет в любви. Но это такое затертое слово, что о нем автор старался вслух не говорить. Книга содержит...

No one in Iquitos knew him by any other name than Manuel. He headed the list of outlaw rubber hunters, and was suspected of being a slave hunter as well. Beyond the Andes was a government which, if it knew aught of the slave traffic, had no power on that remote frontier. Valdez and the other boat owners, however, had leagued themselves together and taken the law into their own hands, for the outlaws destroyed the rubber trees instead of tapping them, which was the legitimate work, and thus...

In order to understand the special work which the United States has been called upon to do in the history of Humanity, we have first to remember that the American people are, historically, that section of the people of Europe whose task it was to explore the continent of America, to subdue it and to develop it. It is impossible to understand the historical significance and importance of any country as long as we consider that country only by itself. In order to determine its true place in the...

Herodotus was an ancient Greek historian who lived in the fifth century BC (c.484 – 425 BC).

It was early in December that H.M.S. Perseus was cruising off the mouth of the Canton River. War had been declared with China in consequence of her continued evasions of the treaty she had made with us, and it was expected that a strong naval force would soon gather to bring her to reason. In the meantime the ships on the station had a busy time of it, chasing the enemy's junks when they ventured to show themselves beyond the reach of the guns of their forts, and occasionally having a brush...
