It is often thought that intelligence, beauty and confidence make you more interesting. This is not true. Being interesting is actually a state of mind.

With seventy exercises that will help you bring humour, insight and surprise to everyday situations, this book will ensure that people not only find you fascinating company but also won't be able to forget you.

The chance to join 'the Revival of the Great Lucia Berlin' (New York Times) 'Raw, elliptical , devilishly funny tales' Observer Ranging from Texas, to Chile, to New Mexico and New York, in Evening in Paradise Berlin writes about the good, the bad and everything in between: struggling young mothers, husbands who pack their bags and leave in the middle of the night, wives looking back at their first marriage from the distance of their second . . . The publication of A Manual for Cleaning Women, Lucia Berlin's dazzling collection of short stories, marked the rediscovery of a writer whose talent had gone unremarked by many. The incredible reaction to Lucia's writing - her ability to capture the beauty and ugliness that coexist in everyday lives, the extraordinary honesty and magnetism with which she draws on her own history to breathe life into her characters - included calls for her contribution to American literature to be as celebrated as that of Raymond Carver. Evening in Paradise is a careful selection from Lucia Berlin's remaining stories - a jewel-box follow-up for her hungry fans.

Benjamin Franklin's writings represent a long career of literary, scientific and political efforts over a lifetime which extended nearly the entire eighteenth century. This volume includes Franklin's reflections on such diverse questions as philosophy and religion, social status, electricity, American national characteristics, war, and the status of women. Nearly sixty years separate the earliest writings from the latest, an interval during which Franklin was continually balancing between the puritan values of his upbringing and the modern American world to which his career served as prologue. This edition provides a new text of the Autobiography, established with close reference to Franklin's original manuscript. It also includes a new transcription of the 1726 journal and several pieces which have recently been identified as Franklin's own work. For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,700 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. Readers trust the series to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators.

The novel by Mark Twain (1835—1910) “A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court” is not only a satiric parody for the tales of chivalry but also one of the first belles-lettres descriptions of a voyage in time. The main hero who got accustomed to the comfortable life in America of the XIX century, quite unexpectedly gets into the epoch of the Middle Ages, and what is more, into the Kingdom of the legendary British King Arthur. But the enterprising and inventive Yankee quickly gets adapted to new unusual conditions, and employing his knowledge of science, technology and history he begins to turn on his “charms” — to change the British society as per sample of America of his day. The book is full of irony and makes an unforgettable impression.
