Great song lyrics are as valid a part of American literature as any novel. Read this songbook and you'll understand why one U.S. poet laureate said of John Prine: "He did a better job of holding up the mirror of art to the '60s and '70s than any of our official literary poets."      источник
A Woman in Berlin book cover
A Woman in Berlin
Eight Weeks in the Conquered City
Anonymous - 2006-07-11 (впервые опубликовано в 1953)
Рейтинг Goodreads
"Experience the raw and unflinching reality of life in Berlin during its fall to the Russian army in 1945 through the eyes of a young woman. This gripping account captures the humanity and cravenness of her fellow Berliners, corrupted by hunger and then the invading army. A Woman in Berlin sheds light on the complex relationships between a conquered city's civilians and occupying forces, exposing the shameful indignities women face in times of war, such as mass rape, regardless of age or infirmity."

Written by a female journalist living in Red Army–occupied Berlin and rediscovered and republished anonymously years later, this diary remains one of history's most harrowing documents of human depravity. The author's frank description of all she did to survive will take your breath away — and make you understand how lucky you are if you've been untouched by war.      источник

Lambs proves "genre" authors can be every bit as observant and insightful as literary giants... Try it sometime. Harris knows of what he writes, at every level.      источник
Вся королевская рать book cover
Вся королевская рать
Robert Penn Warren - 1996-09-01 (впервые опубликовано в 1946)
Рейтинг Goodreads
Злая, бесконечно остроумная и насмешливая препарация "политической кухни" избирательной кампании в глухом южном штате. Сейчас — больше чем полстолетия спустя после его создания — роман воспринимается так, словно ом был создан вчера. Пиар и "черный" пиар. Подкуп, шантаж и война компроматов. Сговор, подтасовка, слив информации... Эта книга актуальна и теперь!

A political novel written by a poet whose pitiless insight into human fallibility penetrates MRI-deep. Inspired by the surreal saga of Louisiana politician Huey Long, All the King's Men is more relevant today than the year it was written. Some passages are as fine as any in American literature.      источник

Four novellas, each taking on the theme of a journey with different tones and characters, are bound together by the changing seasons in this hypnotic collection.
