As variegated as the American experience itself, this original treasury reflects the vibrant role of the short story in our national literature. Fourteen outstanding tales by famous American authors unfold in settings ranging from the decaying family mansion of Edgar Allan Poe's dark psychological thriller, "The Fall of the House of Usher", to the bustling modern apartment building of John Cheever's domestic drama, "The Enormous Radio".

A small boy creates a shelter for his sadness, a safe space where Sadness is welcome, where it can curl up small, or be as big as it can be, where it can be noisy or quiet, or anything in between. The boy can visit the shelter whenever he needs to, every day, sometimes every hour, and the two of them will cry and talk or just sit, saying nothing. And the boy knows that one day Sadness may come out of the shelter, and together they will look out at the world, and see how beautiful it is. A poignant and heart-warming picture book exploring the importance of making space and time for our own griefs, small or large, ... |

"The Unfathomable Chasm is Pre-Eternal - unstirred by time, not bothered by Eternity. The Deep Calm of the Unfathomable Chasm never speaks. This Calm has turned into Silence. Within the Unfathomable Chasm, there is no footing, no support, no reliance, no resurrection, no revelation. In the Unfathomable Chasm, in Infinity, there is only a majestic Plentitude. The veritable Pathway represents vanishing into the Nothnik, into Infinity. If you knew Me, you would forskae even the Sun." Eleazar Harash ... |

Книгата представя популярно етичния компонент от философската система на Айн Ранд . Тя твърди, че егоизмът е необходим елемент на индивидуализма, че човек трябва да счита себе си за най-голямата ценност и да действа воден от собствения си рационален интерес. Който отрича това исконно право на човека, директно атакува чувството му за собствено достойнство. "Добродетелта на егоизма" не е систематична дискусия по етика, а поредица от есета по онези етически теми, които се нуждаят от изясняване в днешната действителност. Книгата много точно намира междинното интелектуално равнище между философските абстракции и ... |
