"El título de este libro tiene el propósito de picar tu ego, si te ofende en lugar de hacerte reír, estás regalándome tu poder y si te reíste sabes que el título no explica nada sobre el contenido del libro. El contenido del libro es muy práctico y está enfocado en mejorar tu calidad de vida, en encontrar tu don y saber usarlo en el sistema capitalista. En realidad puedo ser soez y grosero, pero si una palabra te afecta, no sabes realmente de qué estás hecho. Las palabras no son malas, dependen de la intención que hay atrás.? Lo que puedo hacer es ayudarte a decidir quién eres, a qué vienes al mundo, que disfrutes y tengas creencias que te den una mejor calidad de vida. Es un libro que me tomó varios a?os escribir y a ti te tomará muy poco tiempo leer si lo que buscas es saber quién eres. En este libro hablo desde lo filosófico hasta lo más práctico. Descubrir tu don y cómo vivir bien en este sistema no tiene que ser tan difícil pero el primer paso es cuestionar tus creencias."

Повесть ?Приключения Юпа Розендааля? задумывалась как увлекательная детская сказка. Действие сказки?разворачивается в Германии, на реально существующем необитаемом острове ?Мышиной башни?, что в среднем течении Рейна. Цель книги — показать детям Добро и Зло, подвиги и трусость, бескорыстие и жадность. В ?Приключениях? автор пытался избежать двух бед многих современных книг: полного отсутствия нравственных ориентиров и, напротив, излишней назидательности. Сюжет книги по-настоящему увлекает, заставляет полностью окунуться в происходящее, а тем самым и задуматься над поступками героев, дать им свою оценку. Автору очень хотелось, чтобы его книга стала по-настоящему семейной. И, кажется, у него есть все основания рассчитывать на успех. Издательство Animedia Company желает вам приятного чтения.

Эта невероятно весёлая повесть адресована дошкольникам и младшим школьникам, а также педагогам, воспитателям, родителям и родителям родителей. Она состоит из нескольких самостоятельных глав, рассказывающих о похождениях двух дачных обитателей – щенка Борьки и его закадычной подружки киски Лариски как на самой даче, так и в её окрестностях. В каждой главе хвостатые герои обязательно ?влипают? в?какую-нибудь авантюрную историю или узнают для себя что-то новое и полезное. Сделав героями повести щенка и киску, автор, конечно же, имел в виду мальчишку и девчонку – двух любопытных непосед, ребят типа ?хочу всё знать?, для которых дача – распахнутое настежь окно в окружающий мир – прекрасный, подчас опасный, однако безумно интересный. Так, например, в первой истории мама щенка Борьки открывает школу и начинает обучать сына и других обитателей дачи читать и считать. Во второй истории щенок и киска отправляются на поиски страшного чудища, которое вдруг появилось на ближайшем пруду. А в третьей главные герои попадают в западню… Впрочем, не будем пересказывать все весёлые и познавательные истории, вошедшие в эту книжку, а то читать её будет совсем неинтересно. ?Тайна летающей тарелки? является переизданием вышедшей ранее книги ?Чудовище из пруда?.

The Count of Monte Cristo (is an adventure novel by French author Alexandre Dumas. Completed in 1844, it is one of the author's most popular works, along with The Three Musketeers. The story takes place in France, Italy, islands in the Mediterranean, and in the Levant during the historical events of 1815–1838. It begins from just before the Hundred Days period (when Napoleon returned to power after his exile) and spans through to the reign of Louis-Philippe of France. The historical setting is a fundamental element of the book. An adventure story primarily concerned with themes of hope, justice, vengeance, mercy and forgiveness, it focuses on a man who is wrongfully imprisoned, escapes from jail, acquires a fortune and sets about getting revenge on those responsible for his imprisonment. However, his plans have devastating consequences for the innocent as well as the guilty. The book is considered a literary classic today. According to Luc Sante, "The Count of Monte Cristo has become a fixture of Western civilization's literature, as inescapable and immediately identifiable as Mickey Mouse, Noah's flood, and the story of Little Red Riding Hood." Chapter 1. Marseilles—The Arrival. "On the 24th of February, 1815, the look-out at Notre-Dame de la Garde signalled the three-master, the Pharaon from Smyrna, Trieste, and Naples. As usual, a pilot put off immediately, and rounding the Chateau d'If, got on board the vessel between Cape Morgion and Rion island. Immediately, and according to custom, the ramparts of Fort Saint-Jean were covered with spectators; it is always an event at Marseilles for a ship to come into port, especially when this ship, like the Pharaon, has been built, rigged, and laden at the old Phocee docks, and belongs to an owner of the city..." The ship drew on and had safely passed the strait, which some volcanic shock has made between the Calasareigne and Jaros islands; had doubled Pomegue, and approached the harbor under topsails, jib, and spanker, but so slowly and sedately that the idlers, with that instinct which is the forerunner of evil, asked one another what misfortune could have happened on board. However, those experienced in navigation saw plainly that if any accident had occurred, it was not to the vessel herself, for she bore down with all the evidence of being skilfully handled, the anchor a-cockbill, the jib-boom guys already eased off, and standing by the side of the pilot, who was steering the Pharaon towards the narrow entrance of the inner port, was a young man, who, with activity and vigilant eye, watched every motion of the ship, and repeated each direction of the pilot. The vague disquietude which prevailed among the spectators had so much affected one of the crowd that he did not await the arrival of the vessel in harbor, but jumping into a small skiff, desired to be pulled alongside the Pharaon, which he reached as she rounded into La Reserve basin. When the young man on board saw this person approach, he left his station by the pilot, and, hat in hand, leaned over the ship's bulwarks. He was a fine, tall, slim young fellow of eighteen or twenty, with black eyes, and hair as dark as a raven's wing; and his whole appearance bespoke that calmness and resolution peculiar to men accustomed from their cradle to contend with danger. "Ah, is it you, Dantes?" cried the man in the skiff. "What's the matter? and why have you such an air of sadness aboard?" "A great misfortune, M. Morrel," replied the young man,—"a great misfortune, for me especially! Off Civita Vecchia we lost our brave Captain Leclere." "And the cargo?" inquired the owner, eagerly. "Is all safe, M. Morrel; and I think you will be satisfied on that head. But poor Captain Leclere—""What happened to him?" asked the owner, with an air of considerable resignation. "What happened to the worthy captain?" "He died." "Fell into the sea?" "No, sir, he died of brain-fever in dreadful agony."

De Bello Gallico (The War in Gaul) and The Civil War. According to Wikipedia: "Gaius Julius Caesar (13 July 100 BC – 15 March 44 BC), was a Roman military and political leader. He played a critical role in the transformation of the Roman Republic into the Roman Empire. A politician of the populares tradition, he formed an unofficial triumvirate with Marcus Licinius Crassus and Gnaeus Pompeius Magnus which dominated Roman politics for several years, opposed in the Roman Senate by optimates like Marcus Porcius Cato and Marcus Calpurnius Bibulus. His conquest of Gaul extended the Roman world to the North Sea, and he also conducted the first Roman invasion of Britain in 55 BC. The collapse of the triumvirate, however, led to a stand-off with Pompey and the Senate. Leading his legions across the Rubicon, Caesar began a civil war in 49 BC from which he became the master of the Roman world. After assuming control of government, he began extensive reforms of Roman society and government. He was proclaimed "dictator in perpetuity" (dictator perpetuo), and heavily centralised the bureaucracy of the Republic. A group of senators, led by Marcus Junius Brutus, assassinated the dictator on the Ides of March (March 15) in 44 BC, hoping to restore the normal running of the Republic. However, the result was another Roman civil war, which ultimately led to the establishment of a permanent autocracy by Caesar's adopted heir, Gaius Octavianus. In 42 BC, two years after his assassination, the Senate officially sanctified Caesar as one of the Roman deities. Much of Caesar's life is known from his own Commentaries (Commentarii) on his military campaigns, and other contemporary sources such as the letters and speeches of his political rival Cicero, the historical writings of Sallust, and the poetry of Catullus."

First published in 1896. Spurgeon was an English Baptist preacher, known as "the Prince of Preachers". The Preface begins: " For many years, whether at home or abroad, it was Mr. Spurgeon's constant custom to observe the ordinance of the Lord's supper every Sabbath-day, unless illness prevented. This he believed to be in accordance with apostolic precedent; and it was his oft-repeated testimony that the more frequently he obeyed his Lord's command, "This do in remembrance of Me," the more precious did his Saviour become to him, while the memorial celebration itself proved increasingly helpful and instructive as the years rolled by." According to Wikipedia: "Charles Haddon Spurgeon, commonly C.H. Spurgeon, ( 1834 – 1892) was a British Reformed Baptist preacher who remains highly influential among Christians of different denominations, among whom he is still known as the "Prince of Preachers." He also founded the charity organization now known as Spurgeon's, that works worldwide with families and children, as well as a famous theological college which after his death was called after him: Spurgeon's College. Spurgeon was a prolific author of many types of works including sermons, an autobiography, a commentary, books on prayer, a devotional, a magazine, and more. Many sermons were transcribed as he spoke and were translated into many languages during his lifetime. Arguably, no other author, Christian or otherwise, has more material in print than C.H. Spurgeon."

According to Wikipedia: "Jacob Abbott (November 14, 1803 – October 31, 1879) was an American writer of children's books. Abbott was born at Hallowell, Maine to Jacob and Betsey Abbott. He graduated from Bowdoin College in 1820; studied at Andover Theological Seminary in 1821, 1822, and 1824; was tutor in 1824-1825, and from 1825 to 1829 was professor of mathematics and natural philosophy at Amherst College; was licensed to preach by the Hampshire Association in 1826; founded the Mount Vernon School for Young Ladies in Boston in 1829, and was principal of it in 1829-1833; was pastor of Eliot Congregational Church (which he founded), at Roxbury, Massachusetts in 1834-1835; and was, with his brothers, a founder, and in 1843-1851 a principal of Abbott's Institute, and in 1845-1848 of the Mount Vernon School for Boys, in New York City. He was a prolific author, writing juvenile fiction, brief histories, biographies, religious books for the general reader, and a few works in popular science. He died in Farmington, Maine, where he had spent part of his time after 1839, and where his brother, Samuel Phillips Abbott, founded the Abbott School."
