Popular Literature

Великолепен язык многих сказок сборника "Тысячи и одной ночи" - живой, образный, сочный, чуждый обиняков и недомолвок. Речь героев лучших сказок "Ночей" ярко индивидуальна, у каждого из них свой стиль и лексика, характерные для той социальной среды, из которой они вышли.

В фольклоре каждого народа сказки занимают отдельное место. От поколения к поколению с помощью сказок передают мудрость своих народов, уклад их жизни, традиции и обычаи. Отсюда и происходит своеобразие и неповторимость сказок у каждого народа.

Susie Bright celebrates the first amendment, lesbianism, single motherhood, and fantasizes an eventful night with Dan Quayle in this uninhibited and quirky collection of essays, articles, and book reviews written over the past few years. Offbeat and sexy, Bright defends Madonna, attacks Dr. Ruth, and is snubbed by Camille Paglia herself in this rather amazing and outspoken collection.

There was once a fashionable theory that history was determined not by individuals but by economic and geopolitical forces. Recent years have proved that idea abundantly wrong. From Nigel Farage to Donald Trump via (inevitably) Vladimir Putin, we have largely been governed, endangered and thrown into confusion by a pack of angry men. (Nearly always men. Nearly always white). Men whose ambition is inversely proportional to their ability - and stability.

It's a tough time to be a woman on the internet. Over the past two generations, the political map of human relations has been redrawn by feminism and by changes in technology. In Cybersexism, Laurie Penny goes to the dark heart of the matter and asks why threats of violence are being used to try to silence female voices, analyses the structure of online misogyny, and makes a case for real freedom of speech - for everyone.

Sexual Reality marks Susie Bright's return to politics and passion, jealousy and risk - in an intimate look at the human sexual condition.
