Nineteen Eighty-Four revealed George Orwell as one of the twentieth century's greatest mythmakers. While the totalitarian system that provoked him into writing it has since passed into oblivion, his harrowing cautionary tale of a man trapped in a political nightmare has had the opposite fate: its relevance and power to disturb our complacency seem to grow decade by decade. In Winston Smith's desperate struggle to free himself from an all-encompassing, malevolent state, Orwell zeroed in on tendencies apparent in every modern society, and made vivid the universal predicament of the individual.

A mesmerising, epic, utterly involving masterpiece from Haruki Murakami The year is 1984. Aomame sits in a taxi on the expressway in Tokyo. Her work is not the kind which can be discussed in public but she is in a hurry to carry out an assignment and, with the traffic at a stand-still, the driver proposes a solution. She agrees, but as a result of her actions starts to feel increasingly detached from the real world. She has been on a top-secret mission, and her next job will lead her to encounter the apparently superhuman founder of a religious cult. Meanwhile, Tengo is leading a nondescript life but wishes to become a writer. He inadvertently becomes involved in a strange affair surrounding a literary prize to which a mysterious seventeen-year-old girl has submitted her remarkable first novel. It seems to be based on her own experiences and moves readers in unusual ways. Can her story really be true? Aomame and Tengo's stories influence one another, at times by accident and at times intentionally, as the two come closer and closer to intertwining. As 1Q84 accelerates towards its conclusion, both are pursued by persons and forces they do not know and cannot understand. As they begin to decipher more about the strange world into which they have slipped, so they sense their destinies converging. What they cannot know is whether they will find one another before they are themselves found. 1Q84 is a magnificent and fully-imagined work of fiction - a thriller, a love-story and a mind-bending ode to George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four. It is a world from which the reader emerges stunned and altered.

Роберт Льюїс Стівенсон (1850—1894), відомий широкому колу читачів пригодницькими романами, блискуче проявив себе і в детективному жанрі. “Клуб самогубців” — перша збірка оповідань із циклу про небезпечні походеньки принца Богемського. Цей ексцентричний персонаж не бажає вести розмірене життя, що личить його титулованій особі, натомість готовий наражати себе і своїх придворних на смертельну небезпеку, особисто викорінюючи зло по всій Європі, караючи злочинців і щедро винагороджуючи тих, хто на це заслуговує. Оповідь Стівенсона захоплює з перших сторінок, вона сповнена пригодницької романтики й іронічна водночас.

According to the Japanese, everyone has an ikigai—a reason for living. And according to the residents of the Japanese village with the world’s longest-living people, finding it is the key to a happier and longer life. Having a strong sense of ikigai—the place where passion, mission, vocation, and profession intersect—means that each day is infused with meaning. It’s the reason we get up in the morning. It’s also the reason many Japanese never really retire (in fact there’s no word in Japanese that means retirein the sense it does in English): They remain active and work at what they enjoy, because they’ve found a real purpose in life—the happiness of always being busy. In researching this book, the authors interviewed the residents of the Japanese village with the highest percentage of 100-year-olds—one of the world’s Blue Zones. Ikigai reveals the secrets to their longevity and happiness: how they eat, how they move, how they work, how they foster collaboration and community, and—their best-kept secret—how they find the ikigai that brings satisfaction to their lives. And it provides practical tools to help you discover your own ikigai. Because who doesn’t want to find happiness in every day?

Ukraine is currently embroiled in a tense fight with Russia to preserve its territorial integrity and political independence. But today's conflict is only the latest in a long history of battles over Ukraine's territory and its existence as a sovereign nation. As the award-winning historian Serhii Plokhy argues in The Gates of Europe, we must examine Ukraine's past in order to understand its present and future. Situated between Central Europe, Russia, and the Middle East, Ukraine was shaped by the empires that used it as a strategic gateway between East and West—from the Roman and Ottoman empires to the Third Reich and the Soviet Union. For centuries, Ukraine has been a meeting place of various cultures. The mixing of sedentary and nomadic peoples and Christianity and Islam on the steppe borderland produced the class of ferocious warriors known as the Cossacks, for example, while the encounter between the Catholic and Orthodox churches created a religious tradition that bridges Western and Eastern Christianity. Ukraine has also been a home to millions of Jews, serving as the birthplace of Hassidism—and as one of the killing fields of the Holocaust. Plokhy examines the history of Ukraine's search for its identity through the lives of the major figures in Ukrainian history: Prince Yaroslav the Wise of Kyiv, whose daughter Anna became queen of France; the Cossack ruler Ivan Mazepa, who was immortalized in the poems of Byron and Pushkin; Nikita Khrushchev and his protégé-turned-nemesis Leonid Brezhnev, who called Ukraine their home; and the heroes of the Maidan protests of 2013 and 2014, who embody the current struggle over Ukraine's future. As Plokhy explains, today's crisis is a tragic case of history repeating itself, as Ukraine once again finds itself in the center of the battle of global proportions. An authoritative history of this vital country, The Gates of Europe provides a unique insight into the origins of the most dangerous international crisis since the end of the Cold War.

“Just David” is one more novel by a world-famous American writer Eleanor H. Porter (1868—1920), the author of the best-seller about Pollyanna. Unlike “Pollyanna”, a charming tale about the girl, “Just David” is not less moving and interesting story about the unusual boy with crystal-clear soul, who so splendidly masters the art of playing violin that even the most hard-hearted and insensible people, listening to his music and communicating with him, become more kind-hearted and begin to see beauty around them.
“Просто Девід” — ще один роман відомої на весь світ американської письменниці Елінор Портер (1868—1920), авторки бестселера про Полліанну. На відміну від “Полліанни”, чарівної історії про дівчинку, “Просто Девід” — не менш зворушлива і цікава розповідь про незвичайного хлопчика з кришталево чистою душею, який настільки віртуозно володіє мистецтвом гри на скрипці, що навіть найчерствіші та найбайдужіші, слухаючи його музику й спілкуючись із ним, добрішають і починають бачити красу довкола себе.

Она изучает музыку, он мальчик из хорошей семьи, будущий юрист. Оба умны, красивы, что называется, вся жизнь впереди. Их судьбы меняет любовь, такая огромная и такая короткая. Эта история - книга-преодоление, рассказ о том, как нужно бороться за свою любовь. Поначалу - со смешками друзей и собственной растерянностью перед искренностью и силой внезапного чувства. Потом - с властным диктатом отца, желающего для сына лучшей партии, чем небогатая студентка колледжа. Затем - с бедностью и неустроенностью, неизменно сопровождающими максимализм и принципиальность юности. И в конце концов, с самой смертью. И этот поединок, пусть его исход и известен заранее, дарит не только грусть, но и надежду. Текст сокращён и адаптирован. Уровень Intermediate.

The Danish word hygge is one of those beautiful words that doesn't directly translate into English, but it more or less means comfort, warmth or togetherness. Hygge is the feeling you get when you are cuddled up on a sofa with a loved one, in warm knitted socks, in front of the fire, when it is dark, cold and stormy outside. It that feeling when you are sharing good, comfort food with your closest friends, by candle light and exchanging easy conversation. It is those cold, crisp blue sky mornings when the light through your window is just right. Denmark is the happiest nation in the world and Meik puts this largely down to them living the hygge way. They focus on the small things that really matter, spend more quality time with friends and family and enjoy the good things in life. The Little Book of Hygge will give you practical steps and tips to become more hygge: how to pick the right lighting, organise a dinner party and even how to dress hygge, all backed up by Meik's years' of research at the Happiness Research Institute in Copenhagen. This year live more like a Dane, embrace hygge and become happier.

“A Woman of No Importance” and “Lady Windermere’s Fan” by Oscar Wilde (1854—1900) are comedies of manners that were sharp satire on the society of that time and made the author famous during his lifetime.
As a recognized master of paradox, Wilde embeds contradiction in the very titles of his plays developing it later on in the plot.
Despite sarcasm, irony, mockery at social and family customs, his comedies are much more serious than they may seem at first sight. Brilliant author’s wittiness conceals the depth of the raised problems.
