Попс

Однажды 22-летний лидер панк-группы Саша Марков – от чьего лица написан роман – так характеризует свои музыкальные произведения: «Все – максимально простые: три аккорда в куплете, два в припеве. Тексты тоже простые. Про то, что любая власть – говно, что жить скучно, что вокруг полно идиотов. Я не говорю ничего нового, у меня нет крутых, интересных идей – и плевать. Те, кому не нравится, могут не слушать». Раз уж наши уши уже атаковали такие шлягеры, как «Школа», «Гопники», «Варшава» и...

The Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man

"The Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man" is James Weldon's Johnson fictional account of a light-skinned mulatto who can pass for white.

Roughing It

Mark Twain

Roughing It

Mark Twain's humorous account of his six years in Nevada, San Francisco, and the Sandwich Islands is a patchwork of personal anecdotes and tall tales, many of them told in the «vigorous new vernacular» of the West. Selling seventy five thousand copies within a year of its publication in 1872, <I>Roughing It </I>was greeted as a work of «wild, preposterous invention and sublime exaggeration» whose satiric humor made «pretension and false dignity ridiculous.» Meticulously restored...
