"The Origins of Altruism and Virtue" by Matt Ridley
This book is a review and synthesis of everything that has become known about human social behavior over the past 30 years. In it, Ridley criticizes the well-known model that argues that culture almost completely replaces biology in shaping human behavior.
“Relatively little attention is paid to people here. Matt Ridley is interested in altruism as a universal property, characteristic of amoebas, social insects, and computer programs created to solve the prisoner's dilemma. Harsh, cynical evolutionary logic: mathematical models show that being good—under certain conditions—is beneficial. So we are good."

Herzen worked on this autobiographical novel for almost 16 years. And in the end, he came up with a real encyclopedia, reflecting the life, customs and social life of Russia in the mid-19th century.
“In Past and Thoughts there is a junction between documentary and artistic, which has always worried me. It seems to me that fiction is simply not so interesting anymore,” Alexievich told the Gorky publication. — I’m not saying that there can’t be brilliant art books. But today people read more non-fiction.
Readers trust not fiction, but documentary prose, in which the witness of the event becomes a full-fledged hero. Life itself is crazy interesting, why come up with anything else?”

“Lolita” is the most famous work of Vladimir Nabokov, a recognized masterpiece of world literature of the 20th century.

According to Nabokov, “in works of literary art, the real struggle is not between the heroes of the novel, but between the novelist and the reader.” This creative credo is fully reflected in the novel “Lolita” - full of contradictions, obvious and hidden quotes and allusions, verbal games, hints and other traps that even the most sophisticated reader can easily fall into.

“A Clockwork Orange” is a literary paradox of the twentieth century.

The smart, cruel, charismatic anti-hero Alex, the leader of a street gang, preaching violence as a high art of life, as a form of pleasure, falls into the iron grip of the latest government program for the re-education of criminals and himself becomes a victim of violence. Is it possible to save the world from evil by depriving a person of the will to commit actions and turning him into a “clockwork orange”? This question is as relevant today as it was yesterday, and this is the question the author asks the reader.

For more than thirty years, the outstanding Canadian writer Margaret Atwood has been creating works of amazing originality and depth, repeatedly awarded with prestigious literary awards. The Blind Assassin, which won the Booker Prize in 2000 and has been called the first great novel of the new century, is actually several novels nested within each other. Atwood takes the reader through the entire 20th century, and gradually we begin to understand: the story that the heroine tells us, the story of two sisters separated by fate, a story of love and hatred, betrayals large and small, deafening world madness and a quiet personal nightmare - this is not quite what what really happened. To be more precise, everything was much worse.
Preface
Women's wisdom is a phrase that can evoke a sarcastic smile in someone, a desire to practice their wit, or even make an evil joke. It may seem to some that woman and wisdom are incompatible concepts. Someone will remember jokes, proverbs and sayings that ridicule the female mind. What kind of wisdom is there? But this is only at first glance.
Finding peace of mind
Sociologists and psychologists have proven that women are several times more susceptible to depression than men. The “weaker” sex tends to doubt their talents and capabilities more often. They need more approval of their actions from others. This manifests itself in different ways, including outwardly it may look like aggression directed outward, although in fact it is nothing more than dissatisfaction with oneself, low self-esteem of one’s actions, uncertainty and dislike.
This book is a concentrate of female success and positive psychotherapy at home. She will improve your mood, give the necessary advice, share the wise thoughts of the great, make you laugh, explain the reasons for failures and talk about feminine strength and wisdom, which can be endlessly drawn from the depths of our collective and personal unconscious.
Analytical psychology and psychoanthropology explain this ability as a gift from the great mother Nature, who from birth endowed a woman with the ability, expanding the boundaries of her consciousness, to receive vital information from the “database” of intuition. Moreover, the range of problems whose solutions are stored in this database is unlimited. It is known that, being in the world of logical formulas, we have successfully developed the left hemisphere of the brain, but we hardly use the right, intuitive hemisphere, and it is this hemisphere that is capable of borrowing information from the depths of the subconscious. A woman is an integral microcosm of the Universe, capable of balancing consciousness and intuition, the joint work of which will make it available to her:
• the process of cognition of the surrounding world and existence, cognition of oneself as a part of the whole;
• knowledge that has been collected for centuries and passed on from generation to generation by the wisest guardians of the family;
• cosmology, metaphysics and laws of holistic, spiritual psychology;
• the meaning of life, spiritual purpose and lessons that come to us in the form of illnesses and failures;
• general laws of the universe that govern the life of the Universe, the Earth and all life on it.
Wisdom and modernity
Today, when a girl or woman faces difficult life questions, who does she turn to? Most often to Internet search engines. Because most often she simply has no one to ask the question. The Internet offers a lot of advice on various topics, sometimes contradictory, and you still have to choose your own option among them. However, for thousands of years, the role of adviser and assistant was played by wise women of the clan. They preserved and passed on through generations folk wisdom, secret knowledge, healer traditions and the secrets of women's magic. Those who possessed and used this knowledge correctly succeeded in life, helped their husbands make careers, and maintained health, beauty and youth for many years, to the envy of their ignorant rivals.
The modern lack of censorship, the World Wide Web and the possibilities of the media have made any information, but also false information, accessible to the public. Unfortunately, the availability of information does not always guarantee its truth. Therefore, the authors of this collection set themselves several tasks: 1) provide readers only with time-tested truth; 2) to concentrate as much as possible the wisdom accumulated over centuries in one book; 3) talk about sacred women’s secrets hidden in myths and legends and teach how to use them; 4) awaken the intuition hidden in every woman.
The book consists of several sections, each of which in its own way reveals the facets of female insight, denying the fashionable but destructive slogan: “Think like a man, act like a woman.” Following it, a woman will never become a man, but will cease to be a woman, which means she will not be able to be happy. We hope that all this will help restore the memory of the great Wisdom of the Foremother and take advantage of her lessons of happiness.
BECAUSE A WISE WOMAN IS FIRST OF ALL A HAPPY WOMAN.
You are a woman, you are a book between books, You are a rolled, sealed scroll; In his lines there is an abundance of thoughts and words, in his pages every moment is insane. You are a woman, you are a witch's drink! It burns with fire as soon as it enters your mouth; But the one who drinks the flame suppresses the cry And praises madly amidst the torture. You are a woman, and you are right. From time immemorial you have been adorned with a crown of stars, You are the image of a deity in our abysses! We draw an iron yoke for you, We serve you, crushing the firmament of the mountains, And we pray - from eternity - for you! Valery Bryusov
