David J Moats&#39; haunting and powerful illustrations will leave the issues burning in your mind. The book is introduced with a foreword by Howard Zinn, the renowned historian, activist, playwright and author of A People&#39;s History of the United States.<br><br>At once unsettling and comforting, tragic and comic, provocative and wise, The Letter from Death is an insightful examination of humanity that will give thoughtful readers a lot to think about.

Этот диск – для тех, кто любит Италию и хотел бы узнать больше о ее литературе, истории и культуре. При составлении антологии предпочтение отдавалось произведениям, вошедшим в сокровищницу не только итальянской, но и всемирной литературы. Практически все тексты в ней хрестоматийны. Данте Алигьери, Петрарка, Боккаччо, Тассо, Гольдони, Мандзони, Леопарди не нуждаются в особом представлении. Имена многих литературных героев давно уже стали нарицательными, а их высказывания – крылатыми выражениями. Составители надеются, что, познакомившись с багажом среднестатистического итальянца, слушатель не остановится на достигнутом и пожелает углубить свои познания в итальянской литературе.

"The Purloined Letter" is a short story by American author Edgar Allan Poe. It is the third of his three detective stories featuring the fictional C. Auguste Dupin, the other two being "The Murders in the Rue Morgue" and "The Mystery of Marie Roget". These stories are considered to be important early forerunners of the modern detective story.

In "The Masque of the Red Death" Edgar Allan Poe writes as no one else ever has of creeping, mounting terrors – of the deadly approach of a terrible pendulum, of the awful end of an ancient and noble house, and of the impossible beating of a dead heart.

The letters of Mark Twain are peculiarly of the revealing sort. He was a man of few restraints and of no affectations. In his correspondence, as in his talk, he spoke what was in his mind, untrammeled by literary conventions.
