SALINGER "The Catcher in the Rye" Annotation: A classic writer, a mystery writer, at the height of his career, announced his retirement from literature and settled away from worldly temptations in a remote American province. The only novel by Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye, was a watershed in the history of world literature.

The novel is presented in a brilliant translation by Rita Wright-Kovaleva, which has become a classic of translation art. The day will come and you will have to decide where to go.

A novel that won one of the world's most prestigious literary awards in 2011 with the Booker Prize. The new Adrian Finn comes to the class of the elite school, where Tony Webster and his friends Colin and Alex study. The inseparable trinity quickly becomes a four, but Adrian holds on to it: “We were always kidding and very rarely spoke seriously. And our new classmate always spoke seriously and very rarely joked. " After school, the four swear eternal friendship and leave for a long time in different directions; the reason for this is romantic experiences and adult concerns, an unexpected tragedy and a desire to get rid of it as soon as possible ... And now, forty years old, Tony receives an unexpected letter from a lawyer and, starting to unwind an intricate tangle of causes and effects, realizes that the past, which seemed so simple and clear , conceals many shocking surprises ... Only Barnes is able, with such amazing calmness, without losing his head, to paint the chaos and vulnerability of human life. The Times

Forty years ago it read like fantasy. Exploring and expanding the boundaries of the genre, eagerly absorbing all sorts of newest trends, trying on a universal human face, bravely ignoring the Cain's stamp of the "genre ghetto". Now it is perceived as one of the most humane works of modern times, as a novel of piercing psychological power, as a filigree development of the theme of love and responsibility. It is not for nothing that Keyes called his book of memoirs, published in the 1990s, "Algernon, Charlie and Me." "... this work contains so much that in a certain sense it can be likened to an endless onion." Library Jourrnal

After his appearance, Kesey was recognized as the most talented writer, and the novel itself became one of the main works of the beatnik and hippie movements. Over the Cuckoo's Nest is a crude and devastatingly honest portrayal of the line between sanity and insanity. “If anyone wants to feel the pulse of our time, it is better to read Kesey. And if everything goes well and the order of things does not change, it will be read in the next century, ”wrote in the Los Angeles Times. Indeed, the book continues to live, and has not lost its former crazy popularity these days. Based on the novel, Milos Forman directed his famous film "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest", which received five Oscars. If you have nothing to wake up for, then you will swim for a long time and dull in this gray interval, but if you really need it, then I understand that you can get out of it. K.

The fates of the heroes of the novel are bizarre; in the "high-voltage" plot, love and crime, talent and passion are intertwined, capable of destroying a person or raising them to the heights of creativity. Open this novel - and you will not be let go by the truly Babylonian crowd of types: urban madmen and drunks, Russian nobles, exiles and convicts who have served time, “white colonialists” and “hash hunters” ... “... I recommend this fresh prose by Rubina you penetrate freely, the gates wide open and the windows are welcoming, and you are immediately imbued with light and joy, because the City is waiting for you, and the sunny side of the street is especially beautiful!

They appeared along with a noisy and bright carnival procession, and when the carnival was over, its bright joy remained in the eyes of Vianne, who opened her chocolate shop here. Somehow, miraculously, she learns about the innermost desires of the inhabitants of the town and offers everyone exactly such a chocolate delicacy that makes him feel the taste for life again. "Chocolate" is a story about kindness and tolerance, about confronting innocent temptations and rigid righteousness. The Hollywood film of the same name directed by Lasse Hallström (starring Juliette Binoche, Johnny Depp and Judy Dench) was nominated for an Oscar in five categories and a Golden Globe in four. Harris is the type of fiction writer who likes to turn a standard situation inside out, turn a cliché upside down and see what happens. Private correspondent

Recently, I practically do not buy books due to some circumstances, and this makes me a little sad. But in order not to be sad at all, I decided to please myself with two books, but not simple ones, but in the format flipbook... Bought Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes and "Hello, Sadness" by Françoise Sagan ... I must say right away that I liked both books.

I wanted to try something new, not only in terms of literature, but also in terms of book format. I do not have an electronic reader yet - this is in the plans, for now, experiments with paper books. Flipbook - it's like a pocketbook (pocket book format), only half the size and much lighter. I have compiled a short list of the advantages and disadvantages of this format. If interested - read on 🙂

1. Small size and weight flipbook ... For example, "Hello, sadness" in the flipbook format has dimensions of 85x120x12 mm, and the pocketbook is 180x115x7 mm. Considering that the flipbook version includes three works, and not one as in the pocketbook, there is a significant saving in space. The same story with "Flowers for Algernon", only here the flipbook also weighs less space on the shelf, in the bag, weighs almost 2 times less than the pocketbook - 90 g versus 168 g. Thus, if you take a book with you for reading in traveling or for reading in transport, the flipbook will take up less space and will be almost imperceptible in weight.

2. Cost flipbook compared to hardcover editions. If we compare similar editions of Flowers for Algernon, the difference is palpable: a flybook costs 224 rubles, and a hardcover book costs 313 rubles (in online store "Labyrinth" excluding discounts). However, it should be noted that a pocketbook is cheaper than a flipbook, by about 25% (152 rubles). In other words, 25% is a fee for a more convenient and high-quality format compared to a pocketbook.

3. High quality paper and printing. Flipbooks are printed on white rice paper and pocketbooks - on the newspaper. When your fingers touch the text, the flipbook does not smear the text, which cannot be said about the pocketbook. The font size is the same for both formats. It seemed to me that the eyes from the flipbook get tired less. The cover of the flipbook is durable - the pages are stitched and do not fall out anywhere.

4. Flipbook reads faster. Well, or so it seemed to me. For myself, I called this effect "the illusion of fast reading" - when during a usual trip to the subway in one direction you can read many, many pages, quickly turning them over. No need to look back and forth. I read faster, I am sloppy in terms of reading 🙂

5. Well, the last argument in favor flipbook Is the novelty and originality of the format. I am sure that even if flipbooks do not go to the people or they cease to be issued due to a sharp jump in the euro exchange rate (and flipbooks are produced in the Netherlands), they will soon become a second-hand book rarity. Unlike pocketbooks, flipbooks do not lose their presentable appearance even if you carried them in your bag. The cover is made of durable cardboard, does not wrinkle.

Like any phenomenon, flipbooks have some disadvantages:

1. First and foremost - flipbooks produces only one publishing house - Eksmo , therefore, the range of books in this format is rather limited;

2. You cannot read the flipbook with one hand. When I bought these books, it seemed to me that it would be convenient to hold the book in one hand and turn the pages with it. But if you do this, the pages wrinkle, so you have to read with both hands - hold with one hand, turn over with the other. Yes, I'm still not sure if it will be convenient to read large novels in flipbook format - "Anna Karenina" or Dostoevsky ...

I think I will continue to buy flipbooks. I mostly read in public transport, but I don't want to carry a heavy tamina with me ... Most likely it will be "Dear friend" by Guy de Maupassant 🙂 I really liked the French prose with an erotic touch 🙂

Eksmo Publishing House has suspended the release of books in flipbook format - editions on rice paper of a small size (approximately 18x8 cm) with horizontal text placement, resembling a book reader. Representatives of the publishing house told Izvestia about this.

We print flipbooks in Holland, this is a very costly process, and with the euro, which today, I'm afraid to say how much it costs, we will not be able to sell a flipbook at the price at which you can buy it, - said the head of the foreign literature group "Eksmo" Julia Rautbort.

In the opinion of representatives of printing houses, printing flipbooks is not particularly difficult, and it would be cheaper and easier to print books in Russia, and not in Holland.

If there is a client, it is possible to print flipbook format books in Russia, - he told Izvestia general director printing complex "Pareto-Print" Pavel Arseniev. - In order to print books on rice paper in a horizontal format, no special equipment is required. This will be done by the same printing machines that are in printing houses.

However, according to Eksmo representatives, the difficulty lies in the fact that the Dutch have exclusive rights to the technology.

This is Dutch know-how. "Eksmo" has the exclusive right to publish in Russia, but our printing houses do not have a license to print and replicate flipbooks, ”noted Yulia Rautbort.

Nevertheless, the publisher is leaning towards keeping the direction. Potential solutions are currently being sought, the editors said.

We will try to reduce the volume of flipbooks, perhaps they will become thinner, we will look for content that would be inexpensive in terms of rights. But in any case, today the economic situation in the country is not conducive to issuing a new batch of books right now, ”Rutbort told Izvestia.

Flipbooks appeared on russian market two years ago as a paper alternative to the reader. A palm-sized book, printed on thin rice paper, can be held and flipped with one hand. It is much smaller than a pocketbook and weighs no more than one hundred grams. The Catcher in the Rye by Salinger, The Martian Chronicles by Bradbury, Cloud Atlas by Mitchell, Norwegian Forest by Murakami, and Generation P by Pelevin were the first in this format to enter the domestic book market.

Representatives of the Eksmo publishing house noted that the novelty quickly gained popularity. Popular, classical and literature from school curriculum... The books were published with a circulation of 10,000 to 15,000 copies. The works of Ray Bradbury "The Martian Chronicles", "Fahrenheit 451", "Dandelion Wine" became hits of the direction and were reprinted in a separate edition.

The books were especially popular among schoolchildren. With a circulation of over 20 thousand copies, Tolstoy's works "Anna Karenina", "War and Peace", as well as "The Idiot" by Dostoevsky were printed.

I myself used flipbooks, half of my students had them, - noted the teacher and writer Dmitry Bykov in a conversation with Izvestia. “The books were compact, did not differ in price from regular editions, they were easy to read during lectures and easy to carry in a bag.

The success of flipbooks was largely dictated by a price comparable to that of regular editions. However, with the fall of the ruble, experts say, the retail price will soar from 200 to 500 rubles per copy.

However, a number of writers and literary leaders doubt the advisability of developing the direction.

Flipbook is a small joke of a large publishing house, - noted the writer Tatyana Ustinova. - My detective was printed in flipbook format, but the circulation was not particularly popular. Standard pocketbooks were much better distributed.

The director of the All-Russian State Library agrees with her foreign literature Vadim Duda.

I have not used flipbooks and I do not think that the flipbook could compete with the reader. It is much more convenient for me to have all the books in one device, - said Duda.

Flipbook is a new book series (more precisely, a new format of books), published by the Eksmo publishing house, books of an unusually convenient format. Books stand out in the book market for their high ergonomics, stylish design and simply weightless pages made of the finest rice paper (very strong, albeit thinnest, pages are not so easy to break, and do not shine through!). A flipbook is much lighter and smaller than a pocketbook, and even the most voluminous works can now be read anytime, anywhere!

The series contains the best works of the world and russian literature without abbreviations.

Flipbook format - 80x118 mm, this is perfect option for those who do not love e-booksbut wants to keep up with the times!

The thickness of the books is different, depending on the work, therefore there is a difference in the weight of the books, but on average - about 100 g. Weightless! You can take an entire library with you on the road!

The font for reading is VERY comfortable, like in ordinary books, you do not have to strain your eyes at all, so the books are ideal for reading on the road. And you can carry it in your pocket: such a book in a shirt pocket, trousers, fits perfectly.

There are already a lot of works in this format in Eksmo - choose according to your taste! The selection is excellent - the books here are really the best.
