И о чудо, к сентябрю этого года одному из самых известных биологов и генетиков доктору Фридриху Зендену удается разработать специальную военную вакцину.

Военные специального подразделения ФСБ «Искра», что были подключены к разработке супер-солдата, принялись к поискам безнадежно больного человека. И вскоре такой человек был найден. Им стал обычный школьник из седьмого класса, что по несчастному стечению обстоятельств получил тяжелые ранения… Удастся ли ему выжить? Сможет ли он остаться собой? Простить людей, из-за которых он и получил те раны? И сможет ли он стать настоящим солдатом «искрийцем»? Публикуется в авторской редакции с сохранением авторских орфографии и пунктуации.

Академическая литература использует аннотации для лаконичной передачи сложных исследований. Аннотация может выступать как самостоятельная сущность, а не как полноценная статья. Таким образом, аннотации используются в качестве основы для поиска исследований, которое планируется представить в виде плаката или в презентации на научной конференции. Большинство поисковых систем баз данных литературы индексируют только аннотации, а не предоставляют весь текст статьи. Полные тексты научных работ часто приходится покупать из-за авторских прав и/или гонораров издателей, и поэтому аннотации являются важным элементом продажи печатной или электронной формы полного текста[3]. Аннотация показывает отличительные особенности и достоинства издаваемого, место и время издания в номинативной форме. Аннотация содержит основную тему издания, кроме этого она может перечислять (называть) основные положения описываемого источника.

Any coincidence of names, surnames and positions of characters with the real names of living or dead people, as well as events that occurred with someone in life, is absolutely accidental and completely unintentional.

La soledad es ese estado intelectual en el que la mente se entrega voluntariamente a sus propios reflejos. El fil?sofo, por lo tanto, que retira su atenci?n de cada objeto externo a la contemplaci?n de sus propias ideas, no es menos solitario que el que abandona la sociedad y se resigna por completo a los placeres tranquilos de la vida solitaria. La palabra «soledad» no necesariamente importa un retiro total del mundo y sus preocupaciones: la c?pula de la sociedad dom?stica, una aldea rural o la biblioteca de un amigo erudito, respectivamente, pueden convertirse en la sede de la soledad, as? como el silencio sombra de alg?n lugar secuestrado muy alejado de toda conexi?n con la humanidad. Una persona puede ser frecuentemente solitaria sin estar sola. El altivo bar?n, orgulloso de su ilustre descenso, es solitario a menos que est? rodeado de sus iguales: un profundo razonador es solitario en las mesas de los ingeniosos y los homosexuales. La mente puede estar tan abstra?da en medio de una numerosa asamblea; tanto retirado de cada objeto circundante; como retirado y concentrado en s? mismo; tan solitario, en resumen, como un monje en su claustro o un ermita?o en su cueva. La soledad, de hecho, puede existir en medio de la tumultuosa relaci?n sexual de una ciudad agitada, as? como en las sombras pac?ficas de la jubilaci?n rural; en Londres y en Par?s, as? como en las llanuras de Tebas y los desiertos de Nitria. La mente, cuando se retira de los objetos externos, adopta, libre y extensamente, los dictados de sus propias ideas, y sigue impl?citamente el gusto, el temperamento, la inclinaci?n y el genio de su poseedor. Mientras paseaba por los claustros del convento de Magdalen en Hidelshiem, no pude observar, sin una sonrisa, un aviario de p?jaros canarios, que hab?a sido criado en la celda de una devota. Un caballero de Brabante, vivi? veinticinco a?os sin salir de su casa, entreteni?ndose durante ese largo per?odo formando un magn?fico gabinete de cuadros y pinturas. Incluso los cautivos desafortunados, que est?n condenados al encarcelamiento perpetuo, pueden suavizar los rigores de su destino, resign?ndose, hasta donde su situaci?n lo permita, a la pasi?n dominante de sus almas. Michael Ducret, el fil?sofo suizo, mientras estaba confinado en el castillo de Aarburg, en el cant?n de Berna, en Suiza, midi? la altura de los Alpes: y mientras la mente del bar?n Trenck, durante su encarcelamiento en Magdebourg, permanec?a incesante Ansiedad, inventando proyectos para escapar, el general Walrave, el compa?ero de su cautiverio, pas? su tiempo contento alimentando pollos. La mente humana, en la medida en que se ve privada de recursos externos, trabaja arduamente para encontrar en s? misma los medios de la felicidad, aprende a confiar con confianza en sus propios esfuerzos y gana con mayor certeza el poder de ser feliz. Por lo tanto, me pareci? que un trabajo sobre el tema de la soledad facilitar?a al hombre en su b?squeda de la verdadera felicidad. Sin embargo, indigno, como me parecen ser la disipaci?n y los placeres del mundo, de la avidez con la que se persiguen, desapruebo igualmente el sistema extravagante que inculca un abandono total de la sociedad; que se considerar?, cuando se examine seriamente, que es igualmente rom?ntico e impracticable. Ser capaz de vivir independientemente de toda asistencia, excepto de nuestro propio poder, es, lo reconozco, un noble esfuerzo de la mente humana; pero es igualmente grandioso y digno aprender el arte de disfrutar las comodidades de la sociedad con felicidad para nosotros mismos y con utilidad para los dem?s.

He meets a host of supernatural beings far removed from his expectations, from the disgruntled, ghostly inhabitants of Hell to the angels and souls who dwell on the plains of Heaven.This powerful, exquisitely written fantasy is one of C.S.

Only their names, the names of the gods, peoples and territories are not authentic; they just express the basic meaning the characters put into them. Содержит нецензурную брань.
