Anton Tchekhov - The Darling and Other Stories краткое содержание
LENKA, the daughter of the retired collegiate assessor, Plemyanniakov, was sitting in her back porch, lost in thought. It was hot, the flies were persistent and teasing, and it was pleasant to reflect that it would soon be evening. Dark rainclouds were gathering from the east, and bringing from time to time a breath of moisture in the air.<br><br>Kukin, who was the manager of an open-air theatre called the Tivoli, and who lived in the lodge, was standing in the middle of the garden looking at the sky.<br><br>"Again!" he observed despairingly. "It's going to rain again! Rain every day, as though to spite me. I might as well hang myself! It's ruin! Fearful losses every day."<br><br>He flung up his hands, and went on, addressing Olenka:<br><br>"There! that's the life we lead, Olga Semyonovna. It's enough to make one cry. One works and does one's utmost, one wears oneself out, getting no sleep at night, and racks one's brain what to do for the best.

Anton Chekhov (1860-1904) was a master of the short story. The son of a former serf in southern Russia, he attended Moscow University to study medicine, writing short stories for periodicals in order to support his family. What began as a necessity became a legitimate career in 1886 when he was asked to write in St. Petersburg for the Novoye Vremya (New Times), owned by millionaire magnate Alexey Suvorin. Chekhov began paying more attention to his writing, revising and developing his own...
THE evening service was being celebrated on the eve of Palm Sunday in the Old Petrovsky Convent. When they began distributing the palm it was close upon ten o'clock, the candles were burning dimly, the wicks wanted snuffing; it was all in a sort of mist. In the twilight of the church the crowd seemed heaving like the sea, and to Bishop Pyotr, who had been unwell for the last three days, it seemed that all the faces–old and young, men's and women's–were...

ONE day when she was younger and better-looking, and when her voice was stronger, Nikolay Petrovitch Kolpakov, her adorer, was sitting in the outer room in her summer villa. It was intolerably hot and stifling. Kolpakov, who had just dined and drunk a whole bottle of inferior port, felt ill-humoured and out of sorts. Both were bored and waiting for the heat of the day to be over in order to go for a walk.<br><br>All at once there was a sudden ring at the door. Kolpakov, who was...
П’єр Паоло Пазоліні (1922—1975) — відомий італійський письменник і режисер, що полюбляв експериментувати у своїй творчості: він писав вірші, романи, сценарії до театральних постановок, нариси й кіносценарії. «Я розпочав писати книгу, яка буде моєю справою протягом років, може, до кінця життя. Не хочу про неї розповідати…; досить сказати, що це щось штибу «підсумку» всього, що я пізнав, усіх моїх спогадів». Так Пазоліні описав свій останній роман, якому судилося лишитися незавершеним через...
Найджел, Гарольд и Карма — обычные люди. Такие же, как мы с вами. Но кто сказал, что «обычные люди» не могут стать образцом настоящего насилия? Нью-Йорк. 2017-й год. Лучшее время и место для того, чтобы жить счастливо. Но они не могут. И у каждого на это своя причина: одиночество, зависть, неразделенная любовь… Думаете, что вы никогда не переступите черту? Они тоже так думали. Но у жизни на нас свои планы.
Привет,этот роман жесток,сюрреалистичен и в нем много событий,схожих с теми,что происходят в повседневной жизни. Некоторым он покажется интересным,некоторым покажется кощунственным,но равнодушным точно не оставит. В центре повествования– простой человек, который в силу обстоятельств слышит голоса и пытается от них избавиться.
