Between Friends	Random House, Inc.
Автор: Oz Amos Издательство: Random House, Inc., 2014	PDF, 208 страниц, 6.24 МБ 7 Оценка:
'On the kibbutz it's hard to know. We're all supposed to be friends but very few really are.' Amos Oz's compelling new fiction offers revelatory glimpses into the secrets and frustrations of the human heart, played out by a community of misfits united by political disagreement, intense dissatisfaction and lifetimes of words left unspoken. Ariella, unhappy in love, confides in the woman whose husband she stole; Nahum, a devoted father, can't find the words to challenge his daughter's promiscuous lover; the old idealists deplore the apathy of the young, while the young are so used to kibbutz life that they can't work out if they're impassioned or indifferent. Arguments about war, government, travel and children are feverishly taken up and quickly abandoned — and amid this group of people unwilling and unable to say what they mean, Martin attempts to teach Esperanto. At the heart of each drama is a desire to be better, more principled and worthy of the community's respect. With his trademark compassion and sharp-eyed wit, Amos Oz leaves us with the feeling that what matters most between friends is the invisible tie of our shared humanity.

The Science of Discworld IV: Judgement Day	Random House, Inc.
Автор: Pratchett Terry Издательство: Random House, Inc., 2014	DjVu, 352 страницы, 14.08 МБ 5 Оценка:
The fourth book in the Science of Discworld series, and this time around dealing with The Really Big Questions, Terry Pratchett's brilliant new Discworld story Judgement Day is annotated with very big footnotes (the interleaving chapters) by mathematician Ian Stewart and biologist Jack Cohen, to bring you a mind-mangling combination of fiction, cutting-edge science and philosophy. Marjorie Daw is a librarian, and takes her job — and indeed the truth of words — very seriously. She doesn't know it, but her world and ours — Roundworld — is in big trouble. On Discworld, a colossal row is brewing. The Wizards of Unseen University feel responsible for Roundworld (as one would for a pet gerbil). After all, they brought it into existence by bungling an experiment in Quantum ThaumoDynamics. But legal action is being brought against them by Omnians, who say that the Wizards' god-like actions make a mockery of their noble religion. As the finest legal brains in Discworld (a zombie and a priest) gird their loins to do battle — and when the Great Big Thing in the High Energy Magic Laboratory is switched on — Marjorie Daw finds herself thrown across the multiverse and right in the middle of the whole explosive affair. As God, the Universe and, frankly, Everything Else is investigated by the trio, you can expect world-bearing elephants, quantum gravity in the Escher-verse, evolutionary design, eternal inflation, dark matter, disbelief systems — and an in-depth study of how to invent a better mousetrap.

Sod Calm and Get Angry	Random House, Inc.
Издательство: Random House, Inc., 2010	PDF, 160 страниц, 4.80 МБ 8 Оценка:
During the current recession it seems our traditional stiff upper lip can only last so long before those other world-beating British skills come to the fore — quiet grumbling and resigned cynicism. Sod Calm and Get Angry is for anyone who has finally had enough of bankers and politicians and bosses telling them to keep sodding calm and to carry bloody on. Sod Calm and Get Angry is both a rallying call and essential tome of comforting wisdom for the depressed, enraged, disgruntled, disenfranchised and those of a naturally curmudgeonly disposition. On Politics — The word 'politics' is derived from the word 'poly', meaning 'many', and the word 'ticks', meaning 'blood sucking parasites' — Larry Hardiman. On Work — One of the symptoms of an approaching nervous breakdown is the belief that one's work is terribly important — Bertrand Russell. On Money — The easiest way for your children to learn about money is for you not to have any — Katherine Whitehorn. On Hypocrisy — Hypocrite: the man who murdered both his parents... pleaded for mercy on the grounds that he was an orphan — Abraham Lincoln. On War — You can't say civilisation don't advance... for in every war they kill you a new way — Will Rogers. On Life — That's the secret to life... replace one worry with another — Charles M Schulz.

Wolves of Willoughby Chase	Random House, Inc.
Автор: Aiken Joan Издательство: Random House, Inc., 2004	PDF, 192 страницы, 5.76 МБ 5 Оценка:
It's 19th-century England during the reign of King James II, but it's not the England we know from the history books. This country is overrun with wolves that roam the forests, providing the perfect setting for a witty and dramatic story spanning the whole country, from the frozen North to the city of London, and peopled with all manner of evil governesses and ancient aunts. Filled with brilliantly-drawn Dickensian characters, it would make an excellent choice for strong preteen readers who like an old-fashioned story with a strong plot and good characterisation. This book often appears on lists of best-loved children's books.

Back on Earth with nothing more to show for his long, strange trip through time and space than a ratty towel and a plastic shopping bag, Arthur Dent is ready to believe that the past eight years were all just a figment of his stressed-out imagination.

God only knows what it all means. And fortunately, He left behind a Final Message of explanation. But since it's light-years away from Earth, on a star surrounded by souvenir booths, finding out what it is will mean hitching a ride to the far reaches of space aboard a UFO with a giant robot.

Keep Calm and Carry On: Good Advice for Hard Times	Random House, Inc.
Издательство: Random House, Inc., 2009	PDF, 160 страниц, 4.80 МБ 8 Оценка:
Keep Calm and Carry On was a WWII government poster discovered in a dusty box nine years ago. Though it never saw the light of day in 1939 (it was only supposed to go up if Britain was invaded), it has suddenly struck a chord in our current difficult times, now we are in need of a stiff upper lip and optimistic energy once again. Gordon Brown has one up in 10 Downing Street and James May wears a Keep Calm T-shirt on the telly — it is suddenly everywhere. The book is packed full of similarly motivational and cheering quotes, proverbs, mantras and wry truths to help us through the recession, from such wits as Churchill, Disraeli and George Bernard Shaw. Funny, wise and stirring — it is a perfect source of strength to get us all through the coming months. 'A banker is a fellow who lends you his umbrella when the sun is shining and wants it back the minute it begins to rain' — Mark Twain. 'It's a recession when your neighbor loses his job; it's a depression when you lose your own' — Harry S. Truman. 'An economist is an expert who will know tomorrow why the things he predicted yesterday didn't happen today' — Laurence J. Peter. 'Always laugh when you can. It is cheap medicine' — Lord Byron. 'Better bread with water than cake with trouble' — Russian Proverb.
