Гроздья гнева
John Steinbeck - 2014-04-10 (впервые опубликовано в 1939)
Рейтинг Goodreads
«В душах людей наливаются и зреют гроздья гнева — тяжелые гроздья, и дозревать им теперь уже недолго...» Культовый роман Джона Стейнбека «Гроздья гнева» впервые был опубликован в Америке в 1939 году, получил Пулицеровскую премию, а сам автор позднее был награжден Нобелевской премией по литературе. На сегодняшний день «Гроздья гнева» входят во многие учебные программы школ и колледжей США. Во время Великой депрессии семья разоренных фермеров вынуждена покинуть свой дом в Оклахоме. По знаменитой «Road 66» через всю Америку, как и миллионы других безработных, они едут, идут и даже ползут на запад, в вожделенную Калифорнию. Но что их там ждет? И есть ли хоть какая-то надежда на светлое будущее?

I read many American novels, and recall especially John Steinbeck’s The Grapes of Wrath, in which I found many similarities between the plight of the migrant workers in that novel and our own laborers and farm-workers.      источник

Discover the "only truly great book on war" that provides an all-embracing theory on warfare. Carl von Clausewitz's On War delivers sharp observations, biting irony, and memorable phrases such as, "War is a continuation of politics by other means." Written by a Prussian army veteran inspired by his fateful experience in the 1806 Battle of Jena-Auerstedt, this book is unmatched by any other on military literature.
