Worse than the ordinary miserable childhood is the miserable Irish childhood," writes Frank McCourt in Angela's Ashes. "Worse yet is the miserable Irish Catholic childhood." Welcome, then, to the pinnacle of the miserable Irish Catholic childhood. Born in Brooklyn in 1930 to recent Irish immigrants Malachy and Angela McCourt, Frank grew up in Limerick after his parents returned to Ireland because of poor prospects in America. It turns out that prospects weren't so great back in the old country either--not with Malachy for a father. A chronically unemployed and nearly unemployable alcoholic, he appears to be the model on which many of our more insulting cliches about drunken Irish manhood are based. Mix in abject poverty and frequent death and illness and you have all the makings of a truly difficult early life. Fortunately, in McCourt's able hands it also has all the makings for a compelling memoir.

На 28 декември 1973 г., в Париж излиза трудът на Александър Солженицин “Архипелаг ГУЛАГ”. Нареждана сред най-значимите книги на 20-и век, тази антология на сталинския терор променя погледа на хората от Запада върху Съветския съюз.\nРазкритията за мащаба на сталинските репресии ги хвърлят в страшен потрес: стотици хиляди избити по бързата процедура, организиран масов глад, милиони затворници, депортирани цели народи (като кримските татари), милиони жертви…\nВ "Архипелаг ГУЛАГ" писателят обединява исторически изследвания, разкази на над 200 очевидци и психологически интроспекции в сложен текст, който той самият нарича "опит за художествено изследване". "Архипелаг ГУЛАГ" е най-мащабното описание на съветската лагерна система и с право има ранга на енциклопедия по темата.\nПОСВЕЩАВАМ 
на всички, които не доживяха да 
разкажат това. 
И нека ми простят, 
че не всичко съм видял, 
не всичко си спомням, 
не за всичко съм се досетил.\nАлександър Солженицин

Childhood is Hell

Find out the astonishing answer to the question Is Childhood Hell? in these original syndicated Simpsons-inspiring comic strips by genius Matt Groening.Destined to be read under the covers late at night, Childhood Is Hell may not be all that cute and cuddly, but it's peculiar insights could save you thousands of dollars in annoying therapy bills.Contents includes:The 16 types of mom, Your pal the tv set,How to be a turbulent two year old, How to handle problem parents (`If you drive your parents crazy it's because they are crazy'), and many more painfully funny tips for tots, and modern mores for an enlightened and enlivened childhood.Life in Hell was the syndicated newspaper cartoon strip by Matt Groening which ran in the States during the 80s and early 90s. Asked to turn the characters into TV animation, Groening instead developed The Simpsons, retaining many of the characteristics of Binky, Bongo, Sheba, Jeff and Akbar in the series. In a world where The Simpsons and Futurama are as popular as ever, these hellish cartoons featuring Matt Groening's zany brand of comic genius are simply gold dust.
