Эпохальный трактат Адама Смита о свободном рынке "Невидимая рука" проложил путь современному капитализму, утверждая, что конкуренция является двигателем продуктивного общества и что личные интересы в конечном итоге приведут к обогащению всего сообщества, словно по мановению "невидимой руки" • На протяжении всей истории некоторые книги меняли мир. Они изменили то, как мы видим самих себя - и друг друга. Они вдохновляли на дебаты, инакомыслие, войны и революции. Они просвещали, возмущали, провоцировали и утешали. Они обогатили жизни - и разрушили их.

In more than a century since its appearance, Jose Rizal's Noli Me Tangere has become widely known as the great novel of the Philippines. A passionate love story set against the ugly political backdrop of repression, torture, and murder, "The Noli," as it is called in the Philippines, was the first major artistic manifestation of Asian resistance to European colonialism, and Rizal became a guiding conscience—and martyr—for the revolution that would subsequently rise up in the Spanish province

From the peerless author of The Lottery and We Have Always Lived in the Castle, this is a treasure trove of deliciously dark and funny stories, essays, lectures, letters and drawings • Let Me Tell You brings together the brilliantly eerie short stories Jackson is best known for with frank and inspiring lectures on writing; comic essays she wrote about her large, rowdy family; and revelatory personal letters and drawings.

This collection is the first opportunity to see Shirley Jackson's radically different modes of writing side by side, revealing her to be a magnificent storyteller, a sharp, sly humorist and a powerful feminist
