Testimonies, exposures, and confessions... Slovyansk. The Beginning of the War is a documentary research and chronicle of the most important episodes of the battle for the city of Slovyansk in the Donetsk Region, the capture of which by a group of "Strelkov" Girkin (a.k.a Strelkov) militants on April 12, 2014 marked the beginning of the hybrid armed military aggression of the Russian Federation in the Ukrainian Donbas.

Also, in each of the episodes, there are memories of the heroes who directly participated in those dramatic, heroic, and tragic events. Artem Shevchenko, the author of this book, is the Director of the Communications Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine. As a military journalist, he actively covered the high points of what was happening events in Slovyansk during April-June 2014.

”Chronicle of the War” is a documentary study, a memorial record of the events of 2014—2020 in Ukraine — from the final stage of the Maidan to the present day. The purpose of writing the book was to rethink recent history, to recall the chronology of events that led to the annexation of Crimea and the beginning of the hybrid armed military aggression. The authors reviewed and chronologically organized thousands of issues of day after day news and reports from the official sources. The dry information lines of the reports are illustrated by the testimonies of the direct participants in the events, which are quoted from the chronicle books published earlier by the Folio Publishing House. Memoirs about the fallen Ukrainian soldiers who defended our land in the first days, weeks, months and years of the Russian-Ukrainian war, as well as about the newest heroes who paid the highest price for the peace and well-being of Ukrainians are attached. This book is about reminding the world community that the Russian-Ukrainian war continues, and we must not forget those who are actually defending Europe’s prosperity with weapons in hand. In the Volume 3 of ”Five Years of Hybrid War” of the three-volume ”Chronicle of the War. 2014-2020” you will find the record of news from the end of February 2015 to October 31, 2020.

Shocked out of their quiet existence, they begin a silent campaign of defiance, and a deadly game of cat and mouse develops between the Quangels and the ambitious Gestapo inspector Escherich. When petty criminals Kluge and Borkhausen also become involved, deception, betrayal and murder ensue, tightening the noose around the Quangels' necks ...If you enjoyed Alone in Berlin, you might like John Steinbeck's The Moon is Down, also available in Penguin Modern Classics.'One of the most extraordinary and compelling novels written about World War II.

Though Amazon.com started off delivering books through the mail, its visionary founder, Jeff Bezos, was never content with being just a bookseller. He wanted Amazon to become ‘the everything store’, offering limitless selection and seductive convenience at disruptively low prices. To achieve that end, he developed a corporate culture of relentless ambition and secrecy that's never been cracked. Until now... Jeff Bezos stands out for his relentless pursuit of new markets, leading Amazon into risky new ventures like the Kindle and cloud computing, and transforming retail in the same way that Henry Ford revolutionized manufacturing. Amazon placed one of the first and largest bets on the Internet. Nothing would ever be the same again.

Why has human history unfolded so differently across the globe? In his Pulitzer Prize-winning book, Jared Diamond puts the case that geography and biogeography, not race, moulded the contrasting fates of Europeans, Asians, Native Americans, sub-Saharan Africans, and aboriginal Australians. An ambitious synthesis of history, biology, ecology and linguistics, Guns, Germs and Steel remains a ground-breaking and humane work of popular science.

Originally conceived as a novel but then transformed into a play by Ayn Rand, Ideal is the story of beautiful but tormented actress Kay Gonda. Accused of murder, she is on the run, and she turns for help to six fans who have written letters to her, each telling her that she represents their ideal-a respectable family man, a farleft activist, a cynical artist, an evangelist, a playboy, and a lost soul. Each reacts to her plight in his own way, their reactions a glimpse into their secret selves and their true values. In the end their responses to her pleas give Kay the answers she has been seeking. Ideal was written in 1934 as a novel, but Ayn Rand thought the theme of the piece would be better realized as a play and put the novel aside. Now, both versions of Ideal are available for the first time ever to the millions of Ayn Rand fans around the world, giving them a unique opportunity to explore the creative process of Rand as she wrote first a book, then a play, and the differences between the two.

Theodore Dreiser (1871—1945) is one of the most outstanding writers-realists of the USA at the turn of the 20th century, the epoch which is characterized not only by considerable social shifts but also by significant transformation of thinking. In his stories, the writer ponders over the moral state of modern American society of his time and emphasizes the growth of the personality’s amorality and aggression. He continually forces his heroes to make their choice revealing the inconsistency of human nature and demonstrates in addition the ability of the great expert at writing profoundly and on a good scale to elucidate acute problems in the small literary form.

Книга «Маріуполь. Вихід з Пекла» — це щоденник, написаний очевидцем осади Маріуполя. 25 днів у бункері «Азовсталі» провів із родиною Сергій Духно. «Азовсталь» — його рідне підприємство, вся сім’я працювала на цьому заводі.
Втікати з міста вони спочатку не думали, але коли біля їхнього будинку снаряд прилетів на дитячий майданчик, залишивши величезну вирву, вирішили виїжджати. Через постійні обстріли не змогли скористатися своєю машиною і пішки добралися до знайомого і надійного прихистку — «Азовсталі».
Як жили люди в заводському бункері, де брали їжу, воду і тепло, як уживалися з сусідами; і, головне, як Сергію і його сім’ї вдалося врятуватися від неминучої загибелі, — дізнаємося з дуже особистої розповіді автора. Цю повість треба читати з відкритою мапою Маріуполя, щоби читач міг уявити усе, що переживали мешканці міста.

The Catcher in the Rye is a 1951 novel by J. D. Salinger. Originally published for adults, it has since become popular with adolescent readers for its themes of teenage confusion, angst, alienation,and rebellion. There are many voices in this novel: children's voices, adult voices, underground voices-but Holden's voice is the most eloquent of all. Transcending his own vernacular, yet remaining marvelously faithful to it, he issues a perfectly articulated cry of mixed pain and pleasure. However, like most lovers and clowns and poets of the higher orders, he keeps most of the pain to, and for, himself. The pleasure he gives away, or sets aside, with all his heart. It is there for the reader who can handle it to keep.

Gabriel Allon, art restorer and spy, is about to face the greatest challenge of his life. An al-Qaeda suspect is killed in London, and photographs are found on his computer – photographs that lead Israeli intelligence to suspect that al-Qaeda is planning one of its most audacious attacks ever, straight at the heart of the Vatican. Allon warns the Pope’s private secretary, his old friend Monsignor Luigi Donati, and rushes to Rome to assist in the security. But what neither he nor Donati knows is that the Vatican has been thoroughly penetrated. An extraordinary enemy walks among them … and he’s just getting started. In the days and weeks to come, Allon and his colleagues will find themselves in a deadly duel of wits against one of the most dangerous men in the world – a hunt that will take them across Europe to the Caribbean and back again. But for them, there may simply not be enough of anything: enough time, enough facts, enough luck. All Allon can do is set his trap – and hope that he himself is not the one caught in it. Filled with remarkable characters and breathtaking double and triple turns of plot, The Messenger confirms Silva’s reputation as his generation’s finest writer of international thrillers.
