- : A critic has said of Pyotr Proskurin that "the essence of the author's creative work is to reveal the drama of the relationship between nature and people, the drama of feelings and reason, dark and light, good and evil, the dialectics of life on earth". Pyotr Proskurin came into the literary scene in the sixties, and immediately became popular. Among his works are the novels Bitter Grasses and The Outcome and many stories. This collection contains the stories "The Taiga", "The Sixth Night", "A Day of Confusion" and "Home Again". The characters in them are people of the taiga, professors, workers and students-- the author's own contemporaries.

- :
- : Readers seeking spiritual enlightenment, as well as those interested in comparative religion, will find a concise, clearly written introduction to one of the world’s great and ancient faiths in this attractive volume. Placing special emphasis on the Vedas, the author describes the historical and geographical background of Hinduism and discusses the religion’s various classic texts. The Vedas share their place—along with the Upanishads and the two great Hindu epics, the Mahabharata and the Ramayana—as being among the most important documents of Hindu literature. The Vedas are Hinduism’s original holy texts and the basis of its faith, roughly comparable to the Judeo-Christian Bible. The author presents sample readings from the Vedas to give readers an illuminating glimpse into Hindu theology and its pantheon of gods and goddesses. He concludes with a survey of Hindu culture, including marriage and burial customs; the caste system; and Hindu festivals. Here are answers to fundamental questions that include: Who are Kali, Shiva, and Krishna? What is karma? How do ancient Hindu precepts retain their significance in the modern world? This beautiful volume contains more than 200 color illustrations.
