A mysterious crime is being plotted in a tiny garret above a dilapidated apartment building in St Petersburg in Russia. The plotter, Rodion Raskolinikov, is a poor student who has delusions of ridding the world of “worthless vermin” and counter balancing these crimes with good deeds. He commits a murder to test his own theories and prove that crime comes naturally to the human species. Crime and Punishment is a path-breaking novel of ideas that changed the course of novel writing in the 20th century. The intense insights into the workings of the human mind had seldom been attempted by any writer anywhere in the world till then. The author, Fyodor Dostoyevsky, was the son of a hardworking but indigent doctor in Moscow. He was educated in boarding schools and later at a military academy from which he graduated as a military engineer. However, his heart was set on becoming a writer and he left the army to pursue a life devoted to writing. He was also deeply involved in the politics of the time and was sentenced to four years in a prison camp in Siberia for being part of an anarchist group. In Siberia, he underwent an ideological change and reverted to traditional/conservative ideas. Crime and Punishment was published in serial form in a literary journal in 1866 after he returned from Siberia. His father’s sudden and brutal killing by serfs on their own estate probably provided the trigger for the ideas expressed in the book. His father was an authoritarian despot, while his mother was a weak and fearful person and many of Dostoyevsky’s novels contain images that portray these contradictions. The book is divided into six parts and it is quite a formidable task reading through the entire novel. However, the sheer size, scope and scale of the book carries even the most timid reader along as it traces social realities, psychological aspects of crime and the effect of environment on the minds of vulnerable people. The book met with immense acclaim as it emerged in serial form and was soon compiled in book form. Several English translations followed, as well as those in other languages. More than 25 film adaptations, numerous references in books, television and contemporary writings have kept its appeal alive for generations of readers. Its enduring fascination for modern day readers remains in its themes of alienation and loneliness, the idea of a Superman above the conventions and rules of society and its deep insights into the inner life of a young person on the brink of adulthood.

It is the next book of an author of apocalyptic books. It may be said that this book is an adapted version of “Book of Rescue from the Doomsday 2012-2013” for the World of Unicellular. Moreover, it is a span-new book. Are you still waiting for Armageddon? Doomsday has already come… You needn’t waiting for it neither in 2012, nor in some other year. People should be deleted. Critique: It is about the connection of Anunaki and the Earth for the first time. By the way, by this fact “The World of Unicellular” reminds very much of scandalous books of Zecharia Sitchin, such as “The 12th Planet” (1978), “When Time Began” (1993), “Jorneys to the Mythical Past” (2008) in which the origin of our planet and mankind as result of attack Anunaki from a planet of Nibiru reveals. Sales of these books were enormous and they have caused huge interest in the people. Zecharia Sitchin, the expert on history and culture of the Near East, ancient languages and Sumer writing, on the basis of system researches of Sumer, Assyrian, Babylon and Hebrew texts has come to the conclusions shaking bases both a modern science, and religions concerning a mankind origin. Oleg Seriy not only became on protection of the theory of Sitchin, but also has developed it in a new radical way, having added his own vision of the world creation. A task of Seriy, as he puts it to himself is “that we have think of and change our life”, hence, the author is not able to manage it without the sermon turned to grass-roots. There are so many talks about a doomsday and attack of aliens, but everybody thinks that aliens will capture people from space. There is no one thinking that it can be in another way. The author was the first expressing the ideas about those aliens are got into people!!! Also he was the first who has developed this idea. Oleg Seriy hasn’t laid aside the problems of economic and political character also. George Orwell in his “1984”, John Perkins in “Confessions of an Economic Hit-Man” tried to reach the judiciousness of people. But it was only the iceberg top. Oleg Seriy’s work is more deeply developed, rather than Perkins managed to do it. Oleg Seriy’ deeper and radical thoughts admire with the completeness and innovation. This book is really stunning from the point of view of sense and the maintenance. The idea, that people are morons, is very courageous statement. Even Zion wise men that have described “Akumas” (people-slaves) in their reports, have not dare to do it. The idea about the deepest global problem of a society (mankind moronity) is a basis for thinking about meaning of the life. And it is necessary so few to reach the idyll, so desired by a society. The only thing needs is to resolve this problem (to get rid of mankind moronity). But are people capable to understand it? This question is bringing up through the whole book of the author. Conclusion The author has mentioned ideas, which only great writers, as H.G. Wells in his “War of the Worlds”, or Ursula K. Le Guin in her “Rocannon’s World” have dared to mention. The Same ideas have been filmed in such films as “2012” directed by Roland Emmerich and “Mars attacks!” directed by Tim Burton, who has collected 2 awards and 13 nominations. It is just surprisingly how well Oleg Seriy has managed to display all problems exciting mankind in his book. Authors and directors even earlier have tried to state urgent problems in their works, but Oleg Seriy managed to collect all facts in one book and to state them from a position of the modern world, to introduce the opinion of theory of a mankind origin from deeper point of view. So favourite and popular among readers book of known writers even were filmed by successful directors: “1984” directed by Michael Radford (on George Orwell’s novel of the same name), “War of the worlds” directed by Stephen Spielberg (on Herbert Wells’ novel of the same name), “War of the worlds of Herbert Wells” by Timothy Hines (as a the filmed version of the novel of Herbert Wells “War of the worlds”). Who is this AntiChrist?!? What are signs of a doomsday?!? What measures will be undertaken by aliens against the fallen mankind?!? In this book you will find answers to these and many other questions. Good luck.

A secret shared by four convicts and two prison guards, a daughter in search of her missing father, a strange gift of a single pearl received every year, a fabulous treasure buried in the ancient Agra Fort in India, an eccentric detective being consulted to solve a deadly puzzle. All these events are set against the turbulent backdrop of the Great Indian Mutiny of 1857 in the second Sherlock Holmes novel by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, The Sign of the Four. Mary Morstan, a lovely young woman, comes to the Baker Street lodgings shared by Holmes and Dr Watson. Her mother died when she was very little and her father, an army Captain stationed in India, sent the child back to England to live in a boarding house. She had never seen her father, but ten years earlier, when she was seventeen she received a letter from him saying he had retired, was on his way home and asking her to meet him at the Langham Hotel in London. However, at the Langham, she discovers that her father stepped out the previous evening and never returned. Since then, every year, on her birthday she has been receiving a present from an anonymous giver. It is a very expensive, lustrous, single pearl. And now, she has received a mysterious letter asking her to come to the Lyceum Theater at seven in the evening, bringing two friends with her. For Sherlock Holmes, this is an enigma that’s simply crying out to be solved! Added to this are masterly touches that provide more insights into Holmes’ unconventional persona. His uncanny ways of tracking through sight, sound and smell, his knowledge of diverse subjects and his fondness for obscure quotations in foreign languages are all aspects that went into the creation of the immortal detective. Following the publication of The Sign of the Four, Doyle began concentrating on the short story format featuring Holmes and Watson. This met with immediate success and led to a revived interest in the novels and the rest, as they say, became literary history. The Sign of the Four has been adapted extensively on stage, screen, TV and radio. In fact, more than eighteen different film versions have been made since 1913-2013, marking a century of perennial interest in the maverick sleuth and his faithful assistant!

Frank Lucius Packard (February 2, 1877 – February 17, 1942) was a Canadian novelist born in Montreal, Quebec. He worked as a civil engineer on the Canadian Pacific Railway. He later wrote a series of mystery novels, the most famous of which featured a character called Jimmie Dale. Jimmie Dale is a wealthy playboy by day, with a Harvard education and membership to New York City’s ultra-exclusive private club St. James. But at night he puts on a costume and becomes The Grey Seal, who enters businesses or homes and cracks safes, always leaving a diamond shaped, grey paper “seal” behind to mark his conquest, but never taking anything. He was just doing it for “the sheer deviltry of it” at first, but when a woman catches him, she blackmails him to war on certain crime organizations. Jimmie Dale/The Grey Seal is often credited with greatly influencing and popularizing later pulp and comic book heroes. The foppish playboy by-day-crimefighter-by-night routine had a precursor in The Scarlet Pimpernel, but it was Jimmie Dale that brought the idea into a contemporary setting and added the idea of a costume and mask for his secret identity, serving as a possible influence for characters like Zorro and The Shadow. He also established the concept of a hero’s secret hideout or lair, The Sanctuary, a precursor of the Batcave or the Fortress of Solitude.
