Manon Lescaut

Tuntumaid armastusromaane maailmakirjanduses üldse. Seesugust armastust kui selles teoses kohtab elus harva. «Manon Lescaut» on inspireerinud näiteks niisugused loojaid nagu Massene'd ja Puccinit.

Aegumatud tunded

Saatus viis nad pika aja järel uuesti kokku. Mõlemale olid möödunud aastad täis purunenud lootusi ja pettumusi, igatsust selle järele, mis kunagi päikeselistel augustipäevadel kauge Vermonti järve kaldal nende südames tärkas.Nüüd, aastaid hiljem tuleb neil riskida, et pärast kõiki katsumusi täiel rinnal tunnetada uuesti leitud armastuse ilu ja jõudu.

Deserted

What would the earliest stories of the Bible be like without an angry God smiting humans with floods, fire, frogs, and brimstone? They might become the story of a mother surviving a snake bite and a dangerous pregnancy. Architects and dreamers building towers and boats to save themselves from the harsh desert. A doctor who obsessively cleans. Young gay lovers seeking refuge in the sanctuary cities of Sodom and Gomorrah. Estranged brothers planning ten terrorist attacks to free their people from...

Tahtamaa

Jaan Kross

Tahtamaa

2001. aastal ilmus Jaan Krossi viimane romaan «Tahtamaa», mis räägib maa tagastamisest õigusjärgsele omanikule 1990. aastate alguses ja erineb Krossi teistest romaanidest selle poolest, et see ei põhine mitte ajaloolisel uurimustööl, vaid inimkogemusel. Enne «Tahtamaad» kirjutas Kross 1990. aastatel veel viis romaani: «Väljakaevamised» (1990), «Tabamatus» (1993), «Mesmeri ring» (1995) ja «Paigallend» (1998).

Blessed is the physician granted permission by patients to enter into...
