Story
Роман «Семейное счастье» Льва Толстого рассказывает историю сначала любви молодой девушки к другу своего покойного отца, её опекуну, а затем их женитьбы и первых нескольких лет их супружеской жизни, включающих некоторое охлаждение и ссоры. «Семейное счастье» отличается от других романов писателя тем, что здесь рассматривается только частная жизнь героев без связи с более широкой картиной действительности. Повествование ведется от первого лица (что уже очень редкий случай в произведениях Толстого), притом от лица молодой женщины.

Story
Viv Groskop has discovered the meaning of life in Russian literature. As she knows from personal experience, everything that has ever happened in life has already happened in these novels: from not being sure what to do with your life ( Anna Karenina) to being socially anxious about your appearance (all of Chekhov's work). This is a literary self-help memoir, with examples from the author's own life.

Nicolas Gogol es considerado como uno de los padres del realismo literario, pero en sus cuentos casi podría decirse que no solo hay realismo sino tambien una buena dosis de surrealismo, el mismo que se pondría de moda casi un siglo mas tarde, por lo que el insigne escrito es igualmente un precursor.

Story
"Hadjí Murat" es una novela histórica escrita de primera mano, ya que Tolstói conoció a algunos de sus protagonistas durante su permanencia en el Cáucaso. La acción transcurre en torno a 1850, bajo el reinado del zar Nicolás I, que se caracterizó por llevar a cabo una política expansionista y de absolutismo represivo. De hecho, el retrato que del zar se hace en la obra nos le describe como un hombre arbitrario, poco justo y demasiado orgulloso.

Stalin’s Scribe is the first biography of a man who was once one of the Soviet Union’s most prominent political figures. Thanks to the opening of Russia’s archives, Brian Boeck discovers that Sholokhov’s official Soviet biography is actually a tangled web of legends, half-truths, and contradictions. Boeck examines the complex connection between an author and a dictator, revealing how a Stalinist courtier became an ideological acrobat and consummate politician in order to stay in favor and remain relevant after the dictator’s death.

Story
The heroine of Tolstoy's epic of love and self-destruction, Anna Karenina has beauty, wealth, popularity and an adored son, but feels that her life is empty until she encounters the impetuous officer Count Vronsky. Their subsequent affair scandalizes society and family alike, and brings jealousy and bitterness in its wake. Contrasting with this is the vividly observed story of Levin, a man striving to find contentment and a meaning to his life - and also a self-portrait of Tolstoy himself.

Bröderna Karamazov var den sista och största romanen, som Dostojevskij skrev, och den betraktas inte bara som Dostojevskijs största verk, men även som ett av världslitteraturens. En enastående roman om gott och ont, tro och tvivel, liv och död med genomgripande psykologiska porträtt, som visar människans sammansatta väsen på gott och ont. Det tas avstånd från nihilismen och istället framhävs betydelsen av skuld, ansvar och medkänsla.

Попрыгунья — одно из творений А. П. Чехова (1860–1904), в основе которого лежит реальная история. Главные герои — нравственная и "талантливая во всем". Ольга Ивановна и ее самоотверженный муж Осип Иванович Дымов сталкиваются с непреодолимыми жизненными препятствиями. Безнравственность и легкомыслие одерживают победу над настоящими чувствами, талантом и самоотверженностью. Чехов мастерски изобразил сложный и противоречивый мир человеческих отношений.

There Eddard Stark of Winterfell rules in Robert's name.

Yet a more immediate threat lurks to the south, where Jon Arryn, the Hand of the King, has died under mysterious circumstances....
