Tess of the d'Ubervilles


The novel centers around a young woman who struggles to find her place in society. When it is discovered that the low-class Durbeyfield family is in reality the d'Urbervilles, the last of a famous bloodline that dates back hundreds of years, the mother sends her eldest daughter, Tess, to beg money from relations with the obvious desire that Tess wed the rich Mr. d'Urberville. Thus begins a tale of woe in which a wealthy man cruelly mistreats a poor girl. Tess is taken advantage of by Mr. d'Urberville and leaves his house, returning home to have their child, who subsequently dies. Throughout the rest of this fascinating novel, Tess is tormented by guilt at the thought of her impurity and vows to never marry. She is tested when she meets Angel, the clever son of a priest, and falls in love with him. After days of pleading, Tess gives in to Angel and consents to marry him. Angel deserts Tess when he finds the innocent country girl he fell in love with is not so pure.

Fairy Tale.

Snow White


This is a great fairy tale which for many years has had a lot of charm that we couldn’t describe. I was captivated by the story because it makes us to think that wickedness and envy never lead to somewhere. Friendship between the dwarfs and snow white is for highlight because is real and they don’t have any bad interest. I recommend this story because we always enjoy it in the same manner as if we saw for the first time.

My Greatest Regret


It is a sad and real story. You should think before when you do or said something because these actions could hurt the peoples. Before to say something we should image the hurt that it will cause in others and sometimes is too late to repair the psychologist damage that we can made in anyone.

Fable

THE WIND AND THE SUN

One day, the wind, who has boasting how powerful and forceful he was, challenged the sun to a competition. “You see that little girl walking her dog?” he howled. “The winner is the one who can get her cardigan off the quickest.”

The wind had the firs turn, and blew and blew, but the girl stood under a tree for shelter and wrapped the cardigan tightly around herself. Eventually the disappointed wind had to give up, exhausted.

Now it was the Sun’s turn she shone brightly and it soon became very hot.It was so hot that the little girl took her cardigan off.

“I must apologise”, said the wind, admitting defeat “I was so strong and forceful, but it was your kindness that won.”

MORAL: It is sometimes easier to achieve your aim by kindness rather than by force

The Enemy - Desmond Bagley

On a party Malcolm Jaggard “a marketing research consultant” meets Penny Ashton who works as a genetics researcher. He invites her to an evening in the theatre, and she accepts. And they start to see each other more and more; she invites him over to meet her father at about the time he was thinking about inviting her to meet his father. The first weekend on the country estate is a success, and they just repeat it the next weekend.

Then someone throws acid into Penny's sister's face, her name is Gilli. This shocks their father more than anyone expected, and he simply disappears, together with Benson, the butler.

In the agency's computer he discovers the existence of a file about Penny's father, George Ashton, and his butler, but that file of the butler disappears. George Ashton's file reveals his original identity, which is a mathematics and physics Russian, a fact his daughters are not aware of either.

Malcolm alerts his superior about the disappearance of a computer file and an entire team starts to reconstruct what happened. Jaggard an Inspector Crammon capture the people who threw the acid, but they didn’t find tracks about anything or anyone. Ashton appearance in Stockholm- makes even less sense. Jaggard finds that the true enemy is much closer to home.

This thriller novel is exciting and since you read the first line you couldn’t stop. I think that is a good story because the main character is always looking forward to the next event and has deployment of situations from only one that become interesting and fundamental in this book. I recommend this boobk because is a espionage story which catch all your attention.
