 This man has been suffering from the absence of free time for many
years. He cannot spend even a single extra minute on himself. Most
of people try a variety of hobbies. Someone likes riding horses,
others are more into playing cards or tennis. There are also fans of
swimming in the river and sunbathing. But this is not about the main
character of this story. He has been dreaming of a day when he will
be able just to sit and do nothing for hours. Time is the most
valuable human resource. It is much more expensive than money.

 Full grown with a long, smoke-coloured beard, requiring the


services of a cane and fonder of cigars than warm milk, Benjamin
Button is a very curious baby indeed. And, as Benjamin becomes
increasingly youthful with the passing years, his family wonders
why he persists in the embarrassing folly of living in reverse.

meets a ghost named Jack. His story is very strange. Jack was

 The Lovely Bones is a 2002 novel by American writer Alice


Sebold. It is the story of a teenage girl who, after being
raped and murdered, watches from her personal Heaven as
her family and friends struggle to move on with their lives
while she comes to terms with her own death.

 Set in the quaint English village of St. Mary Mead, the story
unfolds with the murder of Colonel Protheroe, a disliked
and meddlesome resident. As suspicion falls on various
characters, including the vicar himself, the plot twists and
turns with hidden secrets and unexpected revelations.
Christie's writing is masterful, creating an atmosphere of
suspense and intrigue that keeps readers guessing until the
very end. The characters are well-drawn, and Miss Marple's
astute observations and sharp wit add depth to the
narrative.

 Troy is one of the most famous ancient cities, thanks to the poem of
Homer and the modern famous cinema. This city-fortress was
standing on the shores of the Aegean Sea. The Trojan War, according
to the "Iliad", started from the love of young Paris and beautiful
Helen. The young man kidnaps her, which is an outrage. Helen is the
wife of the king. Menelaus cannot forgive such a daring humiliation.
So the siege is to begin soon. Still not everyone is eager to take part
in this dangerous conflict. Odysseus tried to pretend to be crazy,
but he failed.
