Quando un docente disarmato incontra un alunno con la pistola, il docente disarmato è un uomo morto.(C) Valerio Di Stefano

Dating back to the 6th century BC, Aesop's Fables tell universal truths through the use of simple allegories that are easily understood.

This is volume 12 of 12.(Summary by Chip)

Jane Austen demonstrated her mastery of the epistolary novel genre in Lady Susan, which she wrote in 1795 but never published. Although the primary focus of this short novel is the selfish behavior of Lady Susan as she engages in affairs and searches for suitable husbands for herself and her young daughter, the actual action shares its importance with Austen’s manipulation of her characters' behavior by means of their reactions to the letters that they receive. The heroine adds additional interest by altering the tone of her own letters based on the recipient of the letter. Thus, the ...
