Bound together by a single ancient text, the unforgettable characters of "Cloud Cuckoo Land" are dreamers and outsiders figuring out the world around them: thirteen-year-old Anna and Omeir, an orphaned seamstress and a cursed boy, on opposite sides of the formidable city walls during the 1453 siege of Constantinople; teenage idealist Seymour and octogenarian Zeno in an attack on a public library in present-day Idaho; and Konstance, decades from now, who turns to the oldest stories to guide her community in peril. Doerr has created a tapestry of times and places that reflects our own vast interconnectedness - ... |

"The Catcher in Rye" is the ultimate novel for disaffected youth, but it's relevant to all ages. The story is told by Holden Caulfield, a seventeen-year-old dropout who has just been kicked out of his fourth school. Throughout, Holden dissects the "phony" aspects of society, and the "phonies" themselves: the headmaster whose affability depends on the wealth of the parents, his roommate who scores with girls using sickly-sweet affection. Lazy in style, full of slang and swear words, it's a novel whose interest and appeal comes from its observations rather than its plot intrigues (in ... |

Човешката история, преразказана от нашите гени. Това е една история за вас - за това кои сте и как сте стигали дотук. Тя е уникална за всеки един от стоте милиарда души, които някога са стъпвали по тази земя. Засяга всички ни, защото всеки носи в генома си нашата колективна история, изпълнена с раждания, смърт, глад, болести, войни, миграция и много секс. Откакто учените разчетоха човешкия геном за пръв път през 2001 г., той е обект на всевъзможни твърдения, противоречия и митове. Всъщност, както Адам Ръдърфорд обяснява, геномите ни трябва да се четат не като инструкции за създаване на човек, а като епични поеми за ... |
