Якби можна було робити так, як слід, то назва цієї книжки мала б звучати так само, як і прізвище автора: Таня Малярчук "Таня Малярчук".Бо легше не зважати на те, що Таня народилася в Івано-Франківську, у 1983 році, що вона десь вчилася і десь ще недовчилася, що вона щодня щось робить, ніж відділити написану нею прозу від Тані Малярчук.Тарас Прохасько<

У славутай паэме «Гражына» (1823) ажывае старажытная гісторыя Літвы-Беларусі.<

Эпічнай паэмы «Пан Тадэвуш» класіка сусветнай літаратуры Адама Міцкевіча (1798–1855) у перакладзе Пятра Бітэля.

Асноўная сюжэтная лінія «Пана Тадэвуша» — маёмасныя спрэчкі двух шляхецкіх родаў. Высмейваючы звады і сваркі, паказваючы іх дробязнасць у святле змагання найлепшых сыноў краю за волю і незалежнасць, паэт горача заклікаў пакончыць з унутраным разладам у грамадстве, аб’яднаць усе здаровыя сілы дзеля вызвалення Бацькаўшчыны.

Звірослови - це чудернацькі середньовічні енциклопедії про тварин. З них давні українці могли дізнатися, що, наприклад, саламандри не горять у вогні, а носороги - схожі на бика істоти, що витоптують поля пшениці. «Звірослов» Тані Малярчук продовжує втрачену середньовічну традицію. Людина, на думку авторки, подібна на метелика (курку, собаку, медузу, щура, ворона, слимака, свиню, зайця, пуму), це істота, яка хоче, щоб її любили, а її не любить ніхто…<

Цей том дитячої енциклопедії «Країни світу» розповідає про Азію - найбільшу частину світу, яку здавна називають «Оспіваною Шехерезадою». Тож недарма вміщені в нашій книжці розповіді про казкову природу, своєрідну культуру і стрімкий економічний зріст азійських країн, про давні і сталі традиції їхніх народів немовби доповнюють сторінки добре відомої читачу «Тисячі й однієї ночі».<

A group of Mayville Heights’ business people hope to convince the Chicago-based company, Legacy Tours, to sell a vacation package in their town. Legacy Tours partner, Mike Glazer, grew up in Mayville Heights, but it seems he’s not the same small-town boy people remember. Everyone seems to have an issue with the opinionated loudmouth Mike has become—until someone shuts him up for good. When Kathleen and her cat, Hercules, discover Mike’s body near the boardwalk, she can’t help but get involved in the investigation—even if it might torpedo her relationship with Detective Marcus Gordon. Now, with a little help from Hercules and Owen, it’s up to Kathleen to make sure the killer is booked for an extended stay in prison before some else takes a permanent vacation.<

Small-town librarian Kathleen Paulson gets plenty of entertainment from her extraordinary cats, Owen and Hercules. But when a theatre troupe stumbles into more tragedy than it bargained for, it’s up to Kathleen to play detective.... With her sort-of boyfriend Marcus calling it quits and her ex-boyfriend Andrew showing up out of the blue, Kathleen has more than enough drama to deal with—and that’s before a local theatre festival relocates to Mayville Heights. Now the town is buzzing with theatre folk, and many of them have their own private dramas with the director, Hugh Davis. When Davis is found shot to death by the marina, he leaves behind evidence of blackmail and fraud, as well as an ensemble of suspects. Now Kathleen, with a little help from her feline friends Owen and Hercules, will have to catch the real killer before another victim takes a final curtain call.<

An unspeakable crime. A confounding investigation. At a time when the King brand has never been stronger, he has delivered one of his most unsettling and compulsively readable stories. An eleven-year-old boy’s violated corpse is found in a town park. Eyewitnesses and fingerprints point unmistakably to one of Flint City’s most popular citizens. He is Terry Maitland, Little League coach, English teacher, husband, and father of two girls. Detective Ralph Anderson, whose son Maitland once coached, orders a quick and very public arrest. Maitland has an alibi, but Anderson and the district attorney soon add DNA evidence to go with the fingerprints and witnesses. Their case seems ironclad. As the investigation expands and horrifying answers begin to emerge, King’s propulsive story kicks into high gear, generating strong tension and almost unbearable suspense. Terry Maitland seems like a nice guy, but is he wearing another face? When the answer comes, it will shock you as only Stephen King can.<

Хулио Кортасар (1914–1984) е сред онези ярки звезди в латиноамериканската литература, които оставят своя отпечатък върху цялата световна литература на XX в. Роден е в Брюксел в семейството на аржентински дипломат, което през 1918 г. се завръща в Аржентина. Там той прекарва детството и младостта си. От 1951 г. до смъртта си живее и работи в Париж Ненадминат майстор на късия разказ: „Бестиарий“ (1951), „Истории за кронопи и фами“ (1962) и др. (по „Лигите на дявола“ Антониони снима „Фотоувеличение“), познат на българските читатели с няколко антологии. Автор на романите „Лотарията“ (1960), „62: Модел за сглобяване“ (1968), „Книга за Мануел“ (1973), поет. Но от 1963 г. името на великия аржентинец най-често се свързва с „Игра на дама“, един от програмните романи на XX в.

From twice National Book Award–nominated Rachel Kushner, whose Flamethrowers was called “the best, most brazen, most interesting book of the year” (Kathryn Schulz, New York magazine), comes a spectacularly compelling, heart-stopping novel about a life gone off the rails in contemporary America. It’s 2003 and Romy Hall is at the start of two consecutive life sentences at Stanville Women’s Correctional Facility, deep in California’s Central Valley. Outside is the world from which she has been severed: the San Francisco of her youth and her young son, Jackson. Inside is a new reality: thousands of women hustling for the bare essentials needed to survive; the bluffing and pageantry and casual acts of violence by guards and prisoners alike; and the deadpan absurdities of institutional living, which Kushner evokes with great humor and precision. Stunning and unsentimental, The Mars Room demonstrates new levels of mastery and depth in Kushner’s work. It is audacious and tragic, propulsive and yet beautifully refined. As James Wood said in The New Yorker, her fiction “succeeds because it is so full of vibrantly different stories and histories, all of them particular, all of them brilliantly alive.”<

Normally, the arrival of an art exhibition at the Mayville Heights library would be cause for celebration. But thanks to the overbearing curator and high-tech security system that comes with it, Kathleen’s life has been completely disrupted. Even Owen and Hercules have been affected, since their favorite human doesn’t seem to have a spare moment to make their favorite fish crackers or listen to Barry Manilow. But when Kathleen stops by the library late one night and finds the curator sprawled on the floor—and the exhibition’s most valuable sketch missing— it’s suddenly time to canvass a crime scene. Now Kathleen, her detective boyfriend Marcus, and her clever cats have to sniff out a murderous thief, before anyone else has a brush with death…<
