В 1928 году итальянский дирижабль "Италия" под командованием Нобиле летел к Северному полюсу и потерпел аварию. Весь мир взволновала судьба исчезнувших во льдах Арктики аэронавтов. На розыски отправились экспедиции нескольких стран, в том числе и три советские экспедиции. Но только одной из них - спасательной экспедиции на ледоколе "Красин" - удалось пройти в глубь Арктики, достигнуть места аварии дирижабля и спасти погибавших. В документальной повести "Красин" во льдах" описаны необыкновенные приключения красинцев во время поисков аэронавтов "Италии" и знаменитого норвежского путешественника Руала Амундсена, заплатившего своей жизнью за попытку разыскать Нобиле и его спутников. Читатель узнает о людях, найденных красинцами на плавающих в океане льдинах, о тайне смерти шведского ученого Мальмгрена, покинутого своими спутниками в ледяной пустыне, о подвиге советского летчика Чухновского и его товарищей, о встрече с полярным Робинзоном, о людях, обнаруженных красинцами на...

На рассвете 14 мая 1944 года американская "летающая крепость" была внезапно атакована таинственным истребителем. Единственный оставшийся в живых хвостовой стрелок Свен Мета показал: "Из полусумрака вынырнул самолет. Он стремительно сблизился с нашей машиной и короткой очередью поджег ее. Когда самолет проскочил вверх, я заметил, что у моторов нет обычных винтов, из них вырывалось лишь красно-голубое пламя. В какое-то мгновение послышался резкий свист, и все смолкло. Уже раскрыв парашют, я увидел, что наша "крепость" развалилась, пожираемая огнем". Так впервые гитлеровцы применили в бою свой реактивный истребитель ,"Ме-262 Штурмфогель" ("Альбатрос"). Этот самолет мог бы появиться на фронте гораздо раньше, если бы не целый ряд самых разных и, разумеется, не случайных обстоятельств. О них и рассказывается в этой повести.

Увлекательные приключения мальчика Конрада, написанные Эрихом Кестнером (1899-1974), начались 35-го мая. В этот день Конрад и его дядя-аптекарь познакомились с цирковым конем Негро Кавалло и отправились верхом на этом коне в Океанию. В стране Безделья герои полакомились пищей для лентяев, в старинной крепости столкнулись с Наполеоном и Цезарем, а в мире Шиворот-навыворот понаблюдали за перевоспитанием злых и нерадивых родителей. В городе будущего они видели мобильные телефоны и электронную прессу (слова Интернет еще не было), а ведь книга была написана в 1930 году! А в Океании побывали на необыкновенном концерте, познакомились с клетчатой черно-белой девочкой и чуть не попали на обед к соседнему племени - так что теперь никто не скажет, что у Конрада нет фантазии...

This edition contains Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and its sequel Through the Looking Glass. It is illustrated throughout by Sir John Tenniel, whose drawings for the books add so much to the enjoyment of them. Tweedledum and Tweedledee, the Mad Hatter, the Cheshire Cat, the Red Queen and the White Rabbit all make their appearances, and are now familiar figures in writing, conversation and idiom. So too, are Carroll's delightful verses such as The Walrus and the Carpenter and the inspired jargon of that masterly Wordsworthian parody, The Jabberwocky.

In 1862, the Reverend Charles Lutwidge Dodgson went on a rowboat outing with friends, including three daughters of the dean of Oxford's Christ Church College - Lorina, Edith, and Alice Liddell. Dodgson made up a story to entertain the girls during the short trip - Alice asked him to write the story down, and he agreed to. The result was Alice's Adventures under Ground, which friends of Dodgson's encouraged him to publish - it was to go through substantial revision and expansion before becoming the tale we are so familiar with today. Readers can now have a glimpse into the genesis of one of the greatest children's stories of all time.

"Alice was beginning to get very tired of sitting by her sister on the bank, and of having nothing to do: once or twice she had peeped into the book her sister was reading, but it had no pictures or conversations in it, 'and what is the use of a book,' thought Alice, without pictures or conversations?'" So begins the tale of Alice, following a curious White Rabbit down a rabbit-hole and falling into Wonderland. A fantastical place, where nothing is quite as it seems: animals talk, nonsensical characters confuse, Mad Hatter's throw tea parties and the Queen plays croquet. Alice's attempts to find her way home become increasingly bizarre, infuriating and amazing in turn. A beloved classic, Alices Adventures in Wonderland has continued to delight readers, young and old for over a century.

On a boring summer afternoon, the bright and inquisitive Alice follows a white rabbit down a rabbit-hole. At the bottom, she finds herself immersed in a bizarre world full of strange creatures and bizarre goings-on. She tries pills and potions, and attends a very strange tea party and croquet match. An immensely witty mix of satire, puzzles, and drama, this is one of literature’s most astute depictions of the experience of childhood.
