The innocence of father Brown / Смиренність отця Брауна (English Library)
Стівенсен Р.Л.
"The Innocence of Father Brown" is a collection of stories by one of the most brilliant English writers of the beginning of the 20th century Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874—1936). The stories about Father Brown take the place of honour in the crime fiction and have won longstanding love of the readers of the world. Among other detective stories, they are remarkable for their depth of thought because the main hero of the stories is the priest who strives not only to take a criminal red-handed and clean a crime, but also to set him in the right way, to save a person's soul. In spite of a religious component, the book is not congested with moralizing, but imbued with unique English humour. It is incredibly engrossing and contains everything for the readers of crime fiction to enjoy it.

The star-child and other tales / Хлопчик-зірка та інші казки (English Library) (мг)
Уайльд О.
The book includes fairytales written by Oscar Wilde (1854—1900) which introduce the reader to the fairyland where everything is fable and everything is truth. The writer applies to the eternal values — love, friendship, sacrifice for the sake of the neighbour's happiness, people's feelings and relations. Thanks to the fairy-tale form, poetic manner of narration, pictorial descriptions and metaphors, these complicated philosophical problems assume emotional and expressive resonance. The adduced works evoke reader's feeling of reverence for the beauty of life, noble actions, lofty qualities of human soul and genuine protest against the world's injustice.

The Adventures of Tom Sawyer / Пригоди Тома Сойера (American Library)
Твен М.
How should the boys employ their time if they are bored to death with their lessons and their school holidays are still far off? Several true friends and a little bit of imagination — and a dull fence whitewashing turns into an entertainment which will bring a lot of boys' treasures; the game of pirates and robbers will allow to feel free-and-easy life though it will make their grown-ups worry a great deal; and the night visit to the graveyard will make them heroes of the whole town. True, they should not be scared to meet the chimerical ghosts and cruel filthy thieves, but display nobility even when harsh punishment is inevitable. But these are trivial matters if real treasures and life full of adventures are waiting for you.

This side of paradise = По цей бік раю
Фіцджеральд Ф.С.
"This Side of Paradise" is the first great literary work created by the American writer F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896—1940) which immediately brought him universal acknowledgement. An enchanting youth, full of radiant dreams and hopes for the dazzling prospects at the beginning of the novel, having lost his friends in the war, having experienced tragedies in love, being out of means of subsistence, finds himself on "this side of Paradise" and tries to find the right niche for himself. Such is not only the main hero's fate but that of the author himself and his generation burnt by the First World War. The novel attracts the reader owing to its veracity and deep psychological analysis of the characters' behaviour. These qualities make it interesting and topical for the readers in Ukraine as well as in the whole world.
