To the lighthouse / До маяка. (English Library)
Woolf V.
"To the Lighthouse" is one of the best-known novels by the British writer, a brilliant representative of modernistic prose Virginia Woolf (1882—1941). This work is to some degree autobiographical. The writer copied the main heroes — Mr and Mrs Ramsay — from her parents. That's just they who represent in the novel two opposite worlds: male — cold, logic, impatient one, and female — the world of warmth, understanding, comfort, sympathy. In spite of this, the role of the characters in the novel is rather relative because Virginia Wbolf's style is unusual: she portrays not so much her heroes and their deeds, as thoughts, ideas, and moods, forming in this way a new psychological manner of writing and giving orienting points for all the modern literature.

Love of life (American Library)
Лоуренс Д.Г.
Jack London (1876—1916) — a writer whose works are enthusiastically read all over the world. His collection "Love of Life" is one of the brilliant pearls of his Northern stories cycle. Alaska is the place where each person should reveal their own real features. The North makes equal the poor and the rich; the intense cold does not take into account the infirmity; harsh, biting wind is indifferent to the social status, and a wild beast does not discriminate between social standings. In the confrontation with the severe nature, the heroes of the adducted works vanquish not only thanks to their courage, endurance, energy, but first and foremost, due to the strength of mind, an obsession with life, the capability even in the extreme situations to remain a Human.

Smoke Bellew / Смок Беллю. (American Library)
London J.
The heroes of Jack London's (1876—1916) books are always courageous, enduring, and tireless searchers of happiness. Young, vigorous Christopher Bellew, to his uncle's opinion, wastes his life among San Francisco Bohemians. But through the youth's veins there flows the blood of his grandfather, a staunch subjugator of the Wild West. That is why, having surmounted with great difficulties the Chilkoot Pass, yesterday's town-dweller becomes a new man — now he is Smoke Bellew. During his first winter on the Klondike, keeping pace with old inhabitants, he takes part in the march for gold to Squaw Creek and competes with the best drivers of the dog teams. But which is most important, in this rigorous land he finds something more precious than all the gold deposits — true friendship and genuine love.

The Great Gatsby / Великий Гетсбі (American Library)
Фицжеральд Ф.С.
Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald (1896—1940) is one of the greatest American writers, a member of the "Lost Generation" of the 1920s. The Great Gatsby (1925) is his most celebrated and exemplary novel of the "Jazz Age", a term he coined himself. The author, in an extraordinarily masterly manner, described the post-war generation's psychological prostration under the guise of the carnival brilliance of life. The novel is a fascinating, exquisitely crafted tale of America in the 1920s in which the American Dream turned out to be a tragedy.
