Те, чья сила велика, с кем не справиться обычным оружием. Но по следу "ночных охотников" веками следуют охотники другие – Ночной Дозор.

Tolstói su monumental Guerra y paz, que, publicada por entregas en la revista El Mensajero Ruso entre 1865 y 1867 y en forma de libro en 1869, no dejó de causar desconcierto en su tiempo y luego, hasta nuestros días, apasionados intentos de definición.

Evgenii Onegin is best known in the West through Tchaikovsky’s opera Eugene Onegin. But the original narrative poem (consisting of 389 stanzas, the form of which has become known as the "Pushkin sonnet") is one of the landmarks of Russian literature. In the poem, the eponymous hero repudiates love, only to later experience the pain of rejection himself. Pushkin’s unique style proves timeless in its exploration of love, life, passion, jealousy, and the consequences of social convention.
