  1. Arturo Pérez-Reverte _ The Club Dumas

    In essence, games are the only universally serious activity. They leave no room for skepticism, wouldn't you agree? However incredulous or doubting you might be, if you want to play, you have no choice but to follow the rules. Only the person who respects the rules, or at least knows and applies them, can win. Reading a book is the same: you have to accept the plot and the characters to enjoy the story.

People with nothing to do. This bridge has absolutely no common sense.

    As far as cheating goes , you have illustrious predecessors . Theseus escaped from the labyrinth thanks to Ariadne's thread , Jason stole the golden fleece with Medea's help .... The Kaurabas used subterfuge to win at dice in the Mahabharata , and the Achaeans checkmated the Trojans by moving a wooden horse . Your conscience is clear .

    Ông đã đọc câu chuyện hài hước của Nodier về người sưu tầm sách chưa? Chuyện xảy ra với tôi đúng như thế. Tôi sẵn lòng bắn chết bất kỳ một tay thợ đóng sách nào nếu hắn dùng máy xén giấy quá vụng.
