Frank in his criticism of the past, the Soviet leader details his convictions for tolerance, understanding and world peace.

`I believe that on the first night I went to Gatsby's house I was one of the few guests who had actually been invited. People
were not invited - they went there.'
Jay Gatsby's opulent Long Island mansion throngs with the bright young things of the Roaring Twenties. But Gatsby himself, young, handsome and mysteriously rich, never appears
to his guests. He stands apart from the crowd, yearning for something just out of reach - Daisy Buchanan, lost years before to another man. One fateful summer, when the pair finally reunite, their actions set in motion a series of events that will unravel their lives, bringing tragedy to all who surround them.
Widely considered F. Scott Fitzgerald's masterpiece, The Great Gatsby is a tale of excess and obsession, and a work of classic
twentieth-century American literature.Nature du document : Roman Genre : Drame, Tragédie/Sentimental Réservation

Titre : The First Circle Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Aleksandr Isaevich Solzhenitsyn, Auteur Editeur : London : Collins Année de publication : 1988 Importance : 580p ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-00-271240-8 Langues : Anglais Langues originales : Russe Note de contenu : In the First Circle depicts the lives of the occupants of a sharashka (a research and development bureau made of GULAG inmates) located in the Moscow suburbs. This novel is highly autobiographical. Many of the prisoners (zeks) are technicians or academics who have been arrested under Article 58 of the RSFSR Penal Code in Joseph Stalin's purges following the Second World War. Unlike inhabitants of other gulag labor camps, the sharashka zeks were adequately fed and enjoyed good working conditions; however, if they found disfavor with the authorities, they could be instantly shipped to Siberia.
The title is an allusion to Dante's first circle, or limbo of Hell in The Divine Comedy, wherein the philosophers of Greece, and other virtuous pagans, live in a walled green garden. They are unable to enter Heaven, as they were born before Christ, but enjoy a small space of relative freedom in the heart of Hell.Nature du document : Roman Genre : Autobiographie, biographie/Philosophique Réservation
