White oleander

Written by Janet Fitch.

Life turns to each of us with its own special side: it brings up some, hugs others, drives others into a dead end, from which there seems to be no way out.

The bestselling novel (approx. – filmed) from an American writer is a fantastically beautiful story about love and hate, about the bonds that bind us tightly and about … the war for our spiritual independence.

Borrowed life

Author of the work: Erich Maria Remarque.

But fate pitted these two completely different people for a reason …

Pollyanna

Ice and flames

An experiment for those who are tired of being afraid of everything and tired of the monotony of their life.

Standing under the rainbow

The author of the work: Fanny Flagg.

Life is not as bad as people think about it. And, no matter what skeptics and cynics from your environment tell you, looking at the world through rose-colored glasses is not so harmful.

Yes, you can make a mistake, “step on a rake”, lose, but live this life so that every morning a sincere smile appears on your face in honor of a new day.

The book, which gives a breath of fresh air in this stuffy world, smoothes wrinkles on the forehead and awakens in us the desire to do good.

451 degrees Fahrenheit
