Произведения Михаила Булгакова, собранные в этой книге, объединены общей темой и, можно сказать, одним персонажем 20-х годов ХХ века. Это коллективное бессознательное, чей голос чутко улавливал Булгаков как фельетонист столичных газет и журналов. Журналистская служба позволила прозаику воочию увидеть и оценить отпугивающие результаты социального эксперимента, проводимого большевиками. Повести, входящие в этот сборник, - "Роковые яйца" и "Дьяволиада" - дают широкую политическую, социальную и бытовую панораму 20-х годов. Кроме того, в книге представлен цикл рассказов "Путевые заметки".

Старуха Изергиль – произведение русского прозаика и драматурга, одного из самых известных в мире русских писателей и мыслителей А. М. Горького (1868–1936). Произведение состоит из двух легенд: легенды о Ларре, легенды о Данко и рассказа самой Изергиль о своей жизни. Через эти истории Горький исследует темы свободы, самопожертвования и любви. Произведение отражает философские и социальные взгляды автора, подчеркивая борьбу человека за личную свободу и смысл жизни. В основе сюжета лежат мифические и легендарные элементы, которые усиливают драматизм и глубину философских размышлений Горького.

A tireless champion of the downtrodden, Nelson Algren, one of the most celebrated writers of the 20th century, lived an outsider's life himself.

Most today know Algren as the radical writer of The Man with the Golden Arm, but award-winning reporter Mary Wisniewski offers a deeper portrait.
