Boris recommends For Whom the Bell Tolls


This book is written by Hemingway and it's really nice and intense. If you like action and adventure mixed with a love story, this is the book for you. We see a young saboteur that has to blow up a bridge, and track this man's actions in sunny Spain in a Guerilla camp.

The Master and the Margarita is my favorite book. It is a book that includes all kinds of topics. It is a book about life in general. You can learn about love, hatred, desire, will power, good and bad, about everything. What makes it so interesting is that the Devil is included in the story. In a series of adventures, you get to know the main character Margarita. But will she sacrifice her life in the name of love? The Master and the Margarita is a book worth reading.

You might like Paulo Coelho's books if you like this one, or this one if you like Coelho's.

The book Animal Farm by George Orwell is similar to 1984 by the same author. The topics about communism and a utopic world are pretty common in his works.

In Animal Farm, the heads are presented as pigs and all other animals are under their reign. They create their own laws, like the Ten Commandments. Their enemy #1 is man. As time passes, there are some big changes occuring within the yard...

I'd like to recommend the book to people who like 1984 and who'd like to see what our life might be like if we were animals...

Just being it's easy but its lightness is unbearable. In his novel, Milan Kundera shows us the life of four different people who at some points have relationships between each other. He writes from their perspectives about life and its unbearable lightness. Love is the main subject of the book even though it is hidden.

If you like books with deep meaning and symbols you will adore this one.
