by Mark Twain
The Innocents Abroad
Read/Download
This ironic, witty and extremely informative story about the American journey through the Old World captivated the readers and spread in a huge circulation.

Almost one hundred and fifty years after the release of his book, it is difficult to disagree with him....

by Mark Twain
Life on the Mississippi
Read/Download
The childhood of Mark Twain passed in the town of Hannibal on the banks of the famous Mississippi, the love of which the great writer kept for life. After the death of his father in 1847, a teenager was forced to enter the typography as a typesetter, and at the age of twenty he sailed as a pilot on a steamboat. In 1883  Twain writes "Life on the Mississippi", in which one can already feel the loss of the inherent cheerfulness of the author. The free element of the river corresponds to the internal state of the hero, and it seems that man exists in unity with nature and civilization. But the...

by M. G. Lewis
The Monk: A Romance
Read/Download
In this essay, Lewis primarily seeks a sensational heap of supernatural horrors, repulsive crimes (from incest to slaughter), manifestations of pathological, sadistic, perverted erotica. The Lewis world is a confused, chaotic world where people are obsessed with fatal, unbridled passions; satanic obsession is the main engine of the sinister story of the monk Ambrosio, who, having succumbed to the devilish temptation, will fall away from the church, worship Satan, and commit heinous crimes with his help....
