"Poignant and hilarious threaded with compassion and, behind everything, the cataract of a thundering moral statement."The Boston Globe ...

"The Catcher in Rye" is the ultimate novel for disaffected youth, but it's relevant to all ages. The story is told by Holden Caulfield, a seventeen-year-old dropout who has just been kicked out of his fourth school. Throughout, Holden dissects the "phony" aspects of society, and the "phonies" themselves: the headmaster whose affability depends on the wealth of the parents, his roommate who scores with girls using sickly-sweet affection. Lazy in style, full of slang and swear words, it's a novel whose interest and appeal comes from its observations rather than its plot intrigues (in ... |

James Joyce's astonishing masterpiece, Ulysses, tells of the diverse events which befall Leopold Bloom and Stephen Dedalus in Dublin on 16 June 1904, during which Bloom's voluptuous wife, Molly, commits adultery. Initially deemed obscene in England and the USA, this richly-allusive novel, revolutionary in its Modernistic experimentalism, was hailed as a work of genius by W. B. Yeats, T. S. Eliot and Ernest Hemingway. Scandalously frank, wittily erudite, mercurially eloquent, resourcefully comic and generously humane, Ulysses offers the reader a life-changing experience. ... |

Адаптирани разкази на немски език. ... Книгата е предназначена за читатели, които са средно напреднали или напреднали (3 - 6 ниво) в обучението си по немски език. Тук оригиналният текст е адаптиран в общия смисъл на понятието.

Поредицата е предназначена за читатели, които са все още начинаещи в обучението си - 1 и 2 ниво по немски език. ... |
