Александр Андреевич Проханов

Технологии «Пятой Империи»

Куда пойти России, чтобы не попасть в неминуемую «аварию мира»? На каких сваях строить свой дом, чтобы он выстоял под ударом землетрясений? Какое создавать хозяйство, чтобы оно уцелело в гибнущей «мировой экономике»? Какая культура станет целить наши души? В какой уклад организуется наш многонациональный, многоязыкий народ, чтобы возродилась его «цветущая сложность»? В чем, наконец, заключается нынешняя «русская альтернатива»?

Tess of the d'Urbervilles

Censored on its release in 1841, [i]Tess of the d’Urbervilles challenged attitudes with its depiction of a woman forced into a chain of painful circumstances by her social status and by the often cruel treatment of friends, family and the men who loved her. At once a novel of character and a sharply critical novel of society and class, [i]Tess of the d’Urbervilles follows its heroine through a social and emotional gauntlet. The memory of abuse and the stigma of a pregnancy out of wedlock haunt...
