Скачать книгу What is Man? and Other Essays автора Mark Twain

Жанр: Зарубежная классика, Зарубежная литература

"What is Man?" was Twain's most serious, philosophical and private book. He kept it locked in his desk, considered it to be his Bible, and spoke of it as such to friends when he read them passages.

Anyone who thinks Twain was not a brilliant philosopher should read this...

Veledar: Давно я не брал в руки сборник русских сказок! И вот, на днях, решил окунуться в мир детства и волшебства. Сказки как будто ожили, заиграли новыми красками. "Колобок" хитростью уходил от лисы, "Теремок" рухнул от медведя-неуклюжи, а "Царевна-лягушка" обрела счастье....
