Il giovane studioso Anton Lizavin, nel compilare una tesi sugli scrittori della sua regione, si imbatte nel nome di Simeon Milaševič, una figura marginale e dimenticata, eppure velata di fascino e mistero. Indagando negli archivi, Anton rinviene un piccolo baule pieno di carte apparentemente senza valore, ma sulle quali sono annotati appunti sparsi, riflessioni sospese e aforismi densi di complessità: sono involucri di caramelle che Milaševič ha utilizzato per riversarvi i suoi pensieri, nascondendovi una rivelazione assoluta che Anton è determinato a decifrare.

После развода ее родителей прошло десять лет. Теперь, дочь встречает отца-дальнобойщика и отправляется с ним в дорогу. Их путь лежит через центральную Россию и южные регионы, где их окружает необъятная степь. «Степь» — очень личный роман, пропущенный Оксаной Васякиной через призму своих переживаний. Язык «Степи» — это символизм, поиск образов в пейзажах из окна фуры и глубокие эмоциональные и философские размышления – обо всем что порой так контрастно, но нескончаемо актуально: о жизни и смерти, болезни и здравии, родителях и детях, мужском и женском.

Доктрине прогресса (поступательного развития), которая господствовала в умах европейцев с наступлением эпохи Просвещения, Ницше противопоставил учение о вечном возвращении, о цикличности любого развития. Только сверхчеловек способен с готовностью принять бесконечное возвращение однажды пережитого, включая самые горькие минуты. Отличие такого существа от обычного человека, по Ницше, в порядке отличия человека от обезьяны.

The heroine of Tolstoy's epic of love and self-destruction, Anna Karenina has beauty, wealth, popularity and an adored son, but feels that her life is empty until she encounters the impetuous officer Count Vronsky. Their subsequent affair scandalizes society and family alike, and brings jealousy and bitterness in its wake. Contrasting with this is the vividly observed story of Levin, a man striving to find contentment and a meaning to his life - and also a self-portrait of Tolstoy himself.

Notes from Underground is an 1864 novella by Fyodor Dostoyevsky. Notes is considered by many to be the first existentialist novel. It presents itself as an excerpt from the rambling memoirs of a bitter, isolated unnamed narrator (generally referred to by critics as the Underground Man), who is a retired civil servant living in St. Petersburg. The first part of the story is told in monologue form or the underground man's diary, and attacks emerging Western philosophy

This short story by Fyodor Dostoevsky was first published in 1848. A man walking past a wedding is reminded of a children’s New Year’s Eve party he attended 5 years previously – a party that was clearly an excuse for the parents to make advantageous connections in a casual setting. As an outsider at the party, he was able to observe the guests in greater detail than most, and took particular note of the children playing by the Christmas tree, and the social hierarchy they unwittingly participated in. This recording is based on the 1918 translation by Constance Garnett.
