Исповедник веры протоиерей Григорий Пономарев (1914-1997). Жизнь, поучения, труды. Том 1

Елена Кибирева

Перед вами – книга «Исповедник веры…», первый том, посвященная жизни и трудам известного в Зауралье митрофорного протоиерея Григория Пономарева (1914-1997 гг.). Настоящее издание, в основу которого положена книга «Во Имя Твое…», дополнено новыми архивными данными, собранными авторами Ольгой Пономаревой и Еленой Кибиревой. Отец Григорий и матушка Нина прожили вместе 61 год и 2 дня и почили во Господе в один день, 25 октября 1997 года, явив своей смертью пример истинно христианской кончины. Много есть на Руси «неугасаемых лампад», в которых вместо елея день и ночь горит любовь пастырей Христовых к Богу и ближним. Будучи однажды зажжены, они проносят полученную от Бога благодать через всю жизнь в окружении враждебного им мира в больших и шумных городах. Их можно назвать живой и благоугодной жертвой Богу. Таким «светильником благочестия» явился протоиерей Григорий Пономарев, всею своею жизнью исполнявший заповеди Христовы и лучами своей любви осветивший зауральскую землю.

Champavert

Petrus Borel the Lycanthrope

Champavert was the archetypal collection of the French «contes cruels,» and the book still remains among the cruellest of them all. It is also one of the greatest collections of short stories ever published; the only reason that it has never been translated before is that the job was so challenging that only an insane person would tackle it. Pétrus Borel the Lycanthrope (as he called himself) declared himself dead before the book was published, but not many people believed him, even though he was the most honest man in Paris. Here are seven classic tales of horror, fantasy, and the twistings of fate, including the final story, «Champavert, the Lycanthrope,» translated from the French for the very first time by the well-known fantastist and critic, Brian Stableford.

The Jacques Futrelle Megapack

Jacques Futrelle

Jacques Futrelle (1875-1912) is widely considered «the American Sherlock Holmes» for his series of stories about Professor Augustus S. F. X. Van Dusen, who is better known as The Thinking Machine. Van Dusen, a master of logic, believed he could think himself out of any situation – and solve any crime – using his immense intellect. Through dozens of stories, The Thinking Machine solved locked-room puzzles, kidnappings, and more murders than can be easily counted, proving again and again that brain-power is the answer to any problem. This volume collects 47 short stories and novels, including many stories featuring The Thinking Machine.

Профсоюзы и «мировая закулиса»

Леонид Сергеевич Чернявский

В монографии впервые исследуется история взаимоотношений между профсоюзами и т. н. «мировой закулисой» – неформальными организациями «мировой элиты», существование которых не является тайной, но которые преследуют в своей деятельности скрытые от широкой общественности цели и намерения. Это масонство, Совет по международным отношениям, Бильдербергский клуб, Трёхсторонняя комиссия (Трилатераль). Автор делает попытку выяснить цели участия профсоюзных лидеров в «закулисных» структурах, какую функцию они выполняли, какую роль при этом сыграли и какие это имело последствия для профсоюзов.

Елена Кибирева

In the Beggarly Style of Imitation

Jean Marc Ah-Sen

Born on the twin backs of torpidity and obsession, In the Beggarly Style of Imitation is a voyage into the mind of one of the Canadian literary underground’s most unruly writers. Equal parts tribute to the historical genesis of the novel and the well-trodden subject of love, the exercises of imitation contained in this collection offer a brief survey through the illustrious forms and genres of literary expression: epistolary, aphorism, essay, picaresque, romance and satire culminate in a celebratory brand of fiction that proves with finality that imitation is truly the vilest form of flattery.
