Tarmon Gai’don, the Last Battle, looms. And mankind is not ready.The final volume of the Wheel of Time, A Memory of Light, was partially written by Robert Jordan before his untimely passing in 2007. Brandon Sanderson, New York Times bestselling author of the Mistborn books, was chosen by Jordan’s editor--his wife, Harriet McDougal--to complete the final book.

Fitzgerald was an American writer, whose works illustrate the Jazz Age. The Great Gatsby, Fitzgerald`s third book, stands as the supreme achievement of his career. Being acclaimed by generations of readers, the story of the fabulously wealthy Jay Gatsby and his love for the beautiful Daisy Buchanan remains one of the most famous Fitzgerald`s works. It is an exquisitely crafted tale of America in the 1920s. All the Sad Young Men is a wonderful short-story collection. It contains two of the most famous tales: the beautifully elegiac "The Rich Boy" and "Winter Dreams", dealing with wealthy protagonists as they come to terms with lost love and "Absolution", a boy`s confession to a priest.

Cool. Balanced. Modern. The precisions of science, the wild variance of lust, the catharsis of confession and the fear of failure - these are things that happen in the Glass Room.

But the radiant honesty of 1930 that the house, with its unique Glass Room, seems to engender quickly tarnishes as the storm clouds of WW2 gather, and eventually the family must flee, accompanied by Viktor`s lover and her child. But the house`s story is far from over, and as it passes from hand to hand, from Czech to Russian, both the best and the worst of the history of Eastern...

In The House of the Dead, Dostoevsky gives vent to his perceptions of prison life, writing from his grueling experience in a Siberian camp. Poor Folk was his first major literary success. Written in the form of letters, it shows his versatility as a stylist and highlights the early sparks of his genius.
