         <title>Where Angels Fear to Tread by E.M. Forster</title>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>    <strong><em>Where Angels Fear to Tread</em></strong> (1905) is a novel by E. M. Forster. The title comes from a line in Alexander Pope's <em>An Essay on Criticism</em>: "For fools rush in where angels fear to tread".</div><div>   <strong><em>Where Angels Fear to Tread</em></strong> is his first novel. It is the story of Lilia, a young English widow who falls in love with an Italian, and of the efforts of her bourgeois relatives to get her back from Monteriano.<br>    I liked this story as it is easy to read and very attractive to follow the plot and the activity of the main characters to know what will be in the end.</div><div>    I think that the main idea of this novel is to show people that sometimes the life can give us unexpected moments such as new life, love and a child after some difficult time. Moreover, the author shows us the attitude of some relatives to the children. I think that the author wanted to say that sometimes people can only make the show that they like you or want to help, but in reality they do it because of the publicity and raising of their authority. </div>]]></description>

         <title>1.Novel: Brave New World by Aldous Huxley </title>

         <description><![CDATA[<div><mark>1.The title of the novel you’ve read:</mark> Brave New World<br><strong>2.The main idea of the novel:<br></strong><strong><em>Brave New World </em></strong>deals with a seemingly utopian, yet ultimately dystopian society based on utilitarianism. The themes explored in the novel detail the implications, and consequences, of a regime such as the World State. <br><strong>Brave</strong> <strong>New</strong> <strong>World</strong> raises the terrifying prospect that advances in the sciences of biology and psychology could be transformed by a totalitarian government into technologies that will change the way that human beings think and act.<br><mark>My impression after reading: </mark><br> I think this book is really interesting though hard to read as it explores the dangers of technology and what it can do to a whole world. Indeed, Huxley is trying to convey the idea that technology does not have the power to save us successfully. <br><strong><em><mark>Mityagina Evgeniya</mark></em></strong></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div><strong>Washington Square</strong> is one of Henry James’s most appealing and popular novels. It was <em>published</em> in 1880.<br><em>The main idea </em>is the betrayal and cruelty of a loved one.<br>I read this novel with great interest. It's simple, but so wonderfully kind. I recommend it to read, it will not leave anyone indifferent.<br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>It was published in 1944.<br>a political fable based on the story of the Russian Revolution and its betrayal by Joseph Stalin. In the book a group of barnyard animals overthrow and chase off their exploitative human masters and set up an egalitarian society of their own. Eventually the animals’ intelligent and power-loving leaders, the pigs, subvert the revolution and form a dictatorship whose bondage is even more oppressive and heartless than that of their former human masters.  As for me i i think that this novel is very difficult for understanding and it was difficult to read so i do not like it</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>The Jungle Book and The Second Jungle Book (1894) are collections of short stories written by R. Kipling. Each story begins with a few lines of poetry. Most of the best-known of these jungle stories involve the adventures of Mowgli the jungle boy, Kaa the python, Shere Khan the tiger, Baloo the bear, Hathi the elephant, and Bagheera the panther. <br>There are few main themes. This story tells us about abandonment and fostering, law and freedom. The Jungle Book shows people that animals are better than many of us.<br>I really loved this book in my childhood, but right now I love it even more.  </div>]]></description>

         <title>Major Barbara by George Bernard Shaw</title>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>   Premiering in 1905 and published in 1907, <em>Major Barbara</em>is a three-part play written by George Bernard Shaw, an Irish playwright and critic. The plot revolves around a young woman named Barbara who is in the Salvation Army, and her efforts to help the masses of impoverished in London.<br>    I think that the main idea of this play is to show people that the only way to get what they want is to help the common man, is to be so powerful that they can literally destroy them. The author placed before them the choice of struggling in the gutter daily to bring salvation to the poor, or to equip the common man with weapons that can destroy the ruling classes for good and allow them constantly denied generation after generation.<br>   My favorite character of this play is Barbara. She is a major for the Salvation Army at the beginning of the play. She is a charming, vibrant young woman who begins to shift her extremely religious beliefs to participate in more pragmatic deeds to help the poor.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Pygmalion is a play by George Bernard Shaw, named after a Greek mythological figure. It was first presented on stage to the public in 1913.<br><br></div><div>This is a play about a man who picks a poor person off the street who sells flowers named Eliza Doolittle. The man’s name is Henry Higgins. Henry makes a bet with another man named Pickering. The bet was to see if Henry could make Eliza, the poor girl from the streets, into an elegant, beautiful girl with good manners.<br><br></div><div>My favourite character of this play is Eliza. Eliza Doolittle, also called Liza, is a girl perhaps 18 or 20 years old. Her initial appearance as a flower girl is quite unattractive: dirty, shabbily dressed, and in need of a dentist. Her Cockney accent and "kerbstone English" place her in London's lower class, yet her intelligence and ambition allow her to aspire to something finer. The flower girl who presents herself at Higgins's laboratory is a "deplorable figure," making her transformation to a lady who can pass for a duchess all the more awesome. Yet, as Eliza points out to Pickering, her fine speech and manners are acquired skills, nothing more. Learning them was "just like learning to dance in the fashionable way." The real transformation comes with being treated like a lady and, from there, gaining self-respect. By the end of the play, Eliza emerges as a poised, independent woman who knows her own worth and intends to make her own way in the world.<br><br></div><div>Pygmalion is a play about social classes, gentility and manners, marriage and gender solidarity.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Island is the final book by English writer Aldous Huxley, published in 1962. It is the account of Will Farnaby, a cynical journalist who is shipwrecked on the fictional island of Pala. <br>In this novel there are such themes such as overpopulation and democracy. The main idea is that the world cannot be perfect, people cannot be the same, so the utopian world will still be once destroyed. <br>I found this story really interesting and unusual. </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div><strong><mark>1. The title of the play: </mark></strong>Heartbreak House<br><strong><mark>2.The main idea: <br></mark></strong><strong>Bernard Shaw's</strong> 1919 play, "<strong>Heartbreak</strong> <strong>House</strong>," is a bitterly angry black comedy - a satire against a British imperial culture in the first two decades of the 20th century that gave rise to the excesses of the first World War, and which could do a lot worse if given the chance. <strong>Heartbreak</strong> <strong>House</strong> was quite familiar with revolutionary ideas. It aimed at being advanced and freethinking.<br><strong><mark>3.My favourite character: <br></mark></strong>To be honest, I don't sympathise with any character at all. The reason is that by the end of the play, each character is revealed to be nothing like who they appeared to be in the beginning.<br>I got to know that the play tends toward the absurd, with the characters somewhat aware that they are stuck in a house that masks how bad reality really is.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>The Old Wives’ Tale is about the coming of modernity, a process endlessly renewing itself, captivating and then overtaking each generation in its course. <br>The Old Wives’ Tale’s sheer unexpectedness is  why I like it. Sophia’s experience of the execution encapsulates what, for me, The Old Wives’ Tale is really about: ordinary people caught up in the complexities and contradictions of a historical moment they can’t comprehend, governed by inexorable forces beyond their control and from which they cannot escape.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div><br></div><div>Pygmalion, romance in five acts by George Bernard Shaw, produced in German in 1913 in Vienna. </div><div>I think that the main message of B. Shaw's play is the ability of a person to take responsibility for their actions, and also teaches us to respect the actions of other people. If we want to change someone, we need to understand what result it can lead to and be ready for it.</div><div>My favourite character is Eliza, who was an uneducated girl from the lower classes. She has developed a sense of self-respect and judgment. She completely changed herself by the end of the play. She has learned all the good manners, bearing and speaking. The conversation with Pickering allowed us to understand what a sensitive and sincere nature she was. In spite of all his actions, she forgave it all. She was a very noble girl, with whom you can take an example.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>“<strong>Pygmalion” by G. Bernard Shaw </strong><br>Pygmalion was produced in German in 1913. The play is a humane comedy about love and the English class system.<br> “Pygmalion” deals with several themes focusing on teacher-student relationship, social class and manners, education and intelligence and new women.<br>I found this play very interesting, it makes you think about many things oh your life. </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>George Bernard Shaw was himself a pacifist and Arms and the Man is one of several anti-war plays he wrote over his long career. <br>Arms and the Man is most obviously an attack on the false ideals of warfare and the soldier’s profession. He wanted to show that war makes men tired and hungry, afraid and nervous.<br>The character that seemed to me interesting is Raina, because she was not good or harm, she is a combination of these qualities. She does possess exalted ideals, but she is also pleased to step down from her pedestal and enjoy life directly</div>]]></description>
