Hello, friends! So far I have read 3 interesting books.
This is:
Hermann Hesse "The Steppenwolf"
The protagonist of the novel, Harry Galler, is in a serious internal crisis. During walks around the city, he meets a man who gives him a small book called "Treatise on Steppe Wolf." The treatise narrates about "Harry, nicknamed the Steppe Wolf," who divides his personality into two parts: a man of high spiritual morality and an animal - a wolf. Harry fights against himself, afraid to slip into the middle of the boulevard. In this struggle, he almost reaches suicide, from which he accidentally saves a girl named Hermina.
Arkady and Boris Strugatsky "Monday begins on Saturday"
Fantastic comic story of the Strugatsky brothers, brilliantly mocking the opportunists, political demagogues, bureaucrats and swindlers in all their manifestations. The story was largely tied to the realities of the socialist era, and after the collapse of the global socialist system by 1991, it was to some extent incomprehensible to a new generation of readers. However, now "Monday begins on Saturday" again turned out to be unexpectedly relevant - both in its utopian part and in the satirical. The story consists of three parts: "Vanity around the sofa", "Vanity of vanities", "Everyone's vanity."
Robert Heinlein "Stranger in a foreign country"
Stranger in a foreign country
A fantastic philosophical novel containing a lot of historical and philosophical allusions. It is the life story of Valentine Michael Smith, a man brought up by the Martians, who returned to Earth and became a new messiah here. The publication of the novel caused a scandal, connected with too free, according to the norms of the then censorship, the depiction of sexual life and religion.
Last one book I have read just in a few days, it's was very interesting.
In general I like good fantastic books, historical novels, some philosophy books and detective.
If you have some interesting book in mind, please share in comments, it will help me to prepare list of books to read in August!
