In this unforgettable chronicle of perhaps the most famous moment in American military history, James Bradley has captured the glory, the triumph, the heartbreak, and the legacy of the six men who raised the flag at Iwo Jima.

Poems of the Pulitzer Prize winner, American poetess Sara Tisdale (1884—1933) began to be translated into Russian only at the beginning of the XXI century. This book includes translations of all the poems from her poetry collection "Flame and Shadow", released in 1920, and also several poems from other books. Sara Tisdale's poetry attracts by its simplicity, depth of thought, sincerity, openness, passionate and romantic plot. I hope that the readers, who have not yet been familiar with the subtle lyrics of this wonderful author, will find here many frank and tender words consonant with their emotions and world perception. Enjoy reading!
