Действие романа происходит в сельской местности штата Джорджия в 30-е годы ХХ века. На самой нижней ступени общества - чернокожие женщины. Жизнь то и дело подтверждает эту незыблемую истину. Элис Уокер без обиняков говорит о насилии, глумлении, о том, о чём стараются молчать.
Хаим Граде0.0 Three novellas by an internationally celebrated writer provide a luminous view of a Jewish village in Lithuania between the two world wars and some of its residents.
Susan Sheehan0.0 "Sylvia Frumkin," a highly intelligent young girl, became a schizophrenic in her late teens and spent most of the next seventeen years in and out of mental institutions. Susan Sheehan, a talented reporter, followed "Sylvia" for almost a year talking with and observing her, listening to her monologues, sitting in on consultations with doctors - even for a period sleeping in the bed next to her in a psychiatric hospital.
Джонатан Шелл0.0 When Jonathan Schell heard all that loose talk about attainment of objectives in a limited nuclear war, it was too much for him. He did what all of us would like to do: he wrote a book. It's very pessimistic. The mere presence of all those weapons is enough to ensure that sometime, somewhere, someone is going to set one off. Schell makes sure all of us know the horrendous possibilities of a nuclear exchange and all the reasons for bringing such possibilities to a halt. Everyone agrees. The question is, how do we get these monsters under control?
