"Selected works of Oscar Wilde «„Best of Oscar Wilde“» is the book that everyone should read to understand themselves and each other. “The ones who are able to see the high meaning of beauty are cultural people. However, the chosen one is the one who sees only one thing in beauty: the Beauty itself” said one of the most famous English poets, writers, playwrights, a bright and inimitable Oscar Wilde (1854-1900). Oscar Wilde is the author of not only the world famous novel “Portrait of Dorian Gray”, but also of beautiful fairy tales combining the rich imagination of the writer and the ironic style of narration. Every detail has a symbolic meaning and beauty, along with the good, acts as an inseparable whole. Tales give the most complete picture of Wilde's vivid multifaceted talent; these works are graceful, ghostly poetic “symbolist” tales. They sing the beauty of good deeds, sympathy for the offended and humanity. Wilde is also famous for such works as “Puffy Rocket”, “Infanta's Birthday”, “Nightingale and the Rose”, “Princess's Birthday”, “Faithful Friend”, “Young King”, “The Prince and the Swallow”, “The Egoist Giant” "" and «„Star Boy“»."

"Treasure Island — это приключенческий роман шотландского автора Роберта Льюиса Стивенсона, рассказывающий историю о «„бухгалтерах и зарытом золоте.“» Его влияние на популярные представления о пиратах огромно, включая такие элементы, как карты сокровищ с отметкой «X», шхуны, Черная метка, тропические острова и мореплаватели с одной ногой, держащие попугаев на плечах. Treasure Island изначально рассматривался как история о взрослении и известен своей атмосферой, персонажами и динамичными событиями. Это один из самых часто экранизируемых романов. Он первоначально публиковался в детском журнале Young Folks с 1881 по 1882 год под заглавием Treasure Island, или мятеж на Hispaniola, и был подписан псевдонимом «„Капитан Джордж Норт“». Людей всегда интересовали загадочные сокровища, тайно спрятанные бесчисленные богатства и поиски, которые неизменно сопровождались множеством приключений. Роман «„Treasure Island“» сам по себе является настоящим сокровищем: море, пираты, необитаемый остров, опасность, романтика, захватывающие приключения и, конечно, замечательные герои. Итак, пути ведут к острову сокровищ, где капитан Флинт надежно спрятал свои богатства. Знаменитые произведения автора Роберта Льюиса Стивенсона: Treasure Island, A Child's Garden of Verses, Kidnapped, Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde и многие другие."
