В сентября мы окунемся в жанр коротких рассказов и прочитаем следующие произведения: 'Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde' by Robert Louis Stevenson, 'A Sound of Thunder' by Ray Bradbury, 'The Last Leaf' by O.Henry
Немного о содержании:
Dr Jekyll is a respected London doctor. Mr Hyde is a mysterious evil man. There is a murder and Hyde seems to be responsible. So why does the good doctor give Mr. Hyde the key to his house?
"A Sound of Thunder" is about a man who joins a hunting expedition to the past. In this quest to kill a dinosaur for sport, Eckels steps on a butterfly, altering the future dramatically. It is about how small actions can have massive consequences and about the dangers of the misuse of technology.
"The Last Leaf" concerns Johnsy, a poor young woman who is seriously ill with pneumonia. She believes that when the ivy vine on the wall outside her window loses all its leaves, she will also die.
