Читаем On the Wings of Hope : Prose полностью

- Ah … in this sense. Heck … well … how cute … never mind! Pray tell us as fast as possible what exactly is going on there! That’s just a sensation - never before have the scale of battle for content freedom been as such!

- Indeed, Voldemar, something really unimaginable is taking place here! Central departments of RIAA and MPAA are being assaulted and attacked from all flanks!  Attackers are dressed mainly in black T-shirts with a picture of some sort of ship - and they battle for each and every window, against each hated fucked-copyrighter, for each inch of ground! Yes, they are armed only with eggs, rotten tomatoes and even some leaflets, but look with what unshakable persistence do they fight! That’s the greatest heroism imaginable! Voldemar, do you see it?

Camera change a foreshortening of a review and a truly epic picture opens before the eyes: men in black and white T-shirts and vests shower windows of a many-leveled building with eggs and bananas. A victoriously sailing ship is painted on black T-shirts, a proud “CC” flaunts on white ones. Some glasses in windows have been already broken, and sort of capitulation flags are hanging down from them. Somewhere from a top window a physiognomy of official is visible, which has been dirtied by a splashed egg - his expression contains all possible emotions, starting from fear, confusion and finishing with a rage, and to make the picture even shiner he is unsuccessfully trying to shout something to attackers, yet a mucous liquid, flowing down his face, is definitely preventing him from doing this well.

It’s clearly visible how a group of company’s representatives, still hiding behind a small metal facade, is desperately and with heart-rending cries tries to bash entrance door, but desperately rushing officials, who have previously managed to enter the building, prevent other of their kind from entering. Those losers, who haven’t been able to get inside, are being shelled from incoming army with double force - some of them have already simply tumbled down on the earth, have put a paper package on their heads and started actively clattering the ground with free feet.

By all means it’s obvious that both a strategic and tactical advantage has been on a side of copyright-marasmus opponents for a long time already.

- Indeed, Vladimir, we as well as our spectators are now enjoying this really epic battle of copy-writers with copy-lefters, creators versus parasites, supporters of freedom of intellectual property against anal-creative-slavery! Such a scale, such a heat! I truly wonder whether this finally happened and God himself has heard our prayers … what do you think, Vladimir?  Vladimir, wait a moment, what are you doing ?

Как стать леди
Как стать леди

Впервые на русском – одна из главных книг классика британской литературы Фрэнсис Бернетт, написавшей признанный шедевр «Таинственный сад», экранизированный восемь раз. Главное богатство Эмили Фокс-Ситон, героини «Как стать леди», – ее золотой характер. Ей слегка за тридцать, она из знатной семьи, хорошо образована, но очень бедна. Девушка живет в Лондоне конца XIX века одна, без всякой поддержки, скромно, но с достоинством. Она умело справляется с обстоятельствами и получает больше, чем могла мечтать. Полный английского изящества и очарования роман впервые увидел свет в 1901 году и был разбит на две части: «Появление маркизы» и «Манеры леди Уолдерхерст». В этой книге, продолжающей традиции «Джейн Эйр» и «Мисс Петтигрю», с особой силой проявился талант Бернетт писать оптимистичные и проникновенные истории.
