Prokliaty i ubity [The Damned and the Dead]
Classics
Prokliaty i ubity [The Damned and the Dead]

In 1942, an eighteen-year-old boy, Victor Astafyev, volunteered for the front. He served on the front line, suffered several serious wounds, was awarded the Order of the Red Star and the medal 'For Courage', was discharged in 1945 with the rank of 'ordinary'. The war, seen through the eyes of a simple soldier - one of hundreds of thousands who, in inhuman conditions, daily fight with death - is the central theme in the work of the outstanding Russian writer Viktor Astafyev. The novel 'Cursed and Killed' is the result of many years of reflection and one of the most dramatic, tragic and truthful stories about the war as a 'crime against reason'. The piercing frankness of the writer, his uncompromising unwillingness to hide the 'inconvenient' facts and to embellish the harsh truth, betraying his own memories and memory of the fallen, won the love of millions of readers for Astafyev's works.

NOTES FROM THE METVOY HOUSE were created by F.M. Dostoevsky based on his memoirs about his imprisonment in the Omsk prison in 1850-1854. The death sentence for participation in a revolutionary circle, replaced at the last moment by hard labor, being in shackles with criminals, close acquaintance with the torment and suffering of people, made a revolution in the writer's soul, which was reflected in all of his work. The work was highly appreciated by Dostoevsky's contemporaries and is still read with unflagging interest. The writer's deep reflections, descriptions of a convict life, touching stories about human destinies still easily find their way to the hearts of readers.

Buddenbroki [Buddenbrooks]
Buddenbrooks, first published in Germany in 1900, when Mann was only twenty-five, has become a classic of modem literature, the story of four generations of a wealthy bourgeois family in northern Germany. With consummate skill, Mann draws a rounded picture of middle-class life: births and christenings; marriages, divorces, and deaths; successes and failures. These commonplace occurrences, intrinsically the same, vary slightly as they recur in each succeeding generation. Yet as the Buddenbrooks family eventually succumbs to the seductions of modernity, seductions that are at variance with its own traditions, its downfall becomes certain. In immensity of scope, richness of detail, and fullness of humanity, Buddenbrooks surpasses all other modem family chronicles; it has, indeed, proved a model for most of them. Judged as the greatest of Mann's novels by some critics, it is ranked as among the greatest by all. Thomas Mann was awarded the Nobel Prize for literature in 1929.
