secretary of state, so she isn't just someone who studied history, but also had an active role in shaping it. I don't want to be completely unhelpful, so these are the books that I have personally read and think can offer you some broad insights about important political topics:įascism: A Warning by Madeleine Albright - Madeleine Albright is the first woman to ever serve as U.S. Even countries with the same political beliefs are not going to totally agree with each other about certain things and then there are those countries who claim to belong to a certain political movement, but in reality practice something completely different. Other people have already mentioned it too, but your geographical location is also going to determine your understanding of politics. They can still give you some insights into the core elements, but you are almost assuredly going to encounter some outdated elements. Politics is such a shifting, changing thing that if you go further back than say a year or two, then the books are probably not going to help you understand what's going on as much as you might think. Having said that, I do have some bad news for you. It is often based on folklore.Seeing as how it is impossible to get unbiased and informed information about politics online anymore, I can totally understand why someone would want to turn to books to educate themselves. Fantasy / Fairy Tales - the main features of the genre are fabulous worlds, magic, unseen creatures, talking animals, etc. One of the varieties of fiction is an alternative story. Fantasy - the story is twisted in a hypothetical future or in a parallel world. Thriller / Horror - heroes face a deadly danger, from which they are trying to get rid of. Adventures - the heroes get involved in an adventure or go on a risky journey. Mysticism - the basis of the plot - supernatural events. A love affair - the characters acquire love.

The basis of the plot - fights, chases, saving beauties, etc. The militant - is focused mainly on the male audience. Closely intertwined with intellectual prose. As a rule, the avant-garde comes out in very small editions.

Avant-garde literature is characterized by the violation of canons and linguistic and plot experiments. Speaking about the genres of fiction, make the following classification. In the vast majority of cases, intellectual prose has a grim mood. They pour out the soul and immerse the reader in the world of their subconscious. The aim of the authors is not commercial success, but art for the sake of art. , intellectual prose is oriented towards a narrow circle of connoisseurs and pretends to be elitist. The mainstream appeals to a wide readership. Another important feature of the mainstream - books of this type are written at the intersection of genres. Because the author of the mainstream should not only be an excellent storyteller, but also a good psychologist and serious thinker. The main thing in the mainstream is the moral development of the characters, philosophy and ideology. Readers expect unexpected solutions from them. What is the mainstream? In the books of this genre, canons and patterns do not belong. Artistic works are divided into genre literature, mainstream and intellectual prose. Usually non-fiction books are textbooks, encyclopedias, dictionaries, monographs, biographies, memoirs, journalism, etc. Fiction - these are novels, stories, novels, plays and poetry (for both children and adults). Under the fiction are understood all the works that have a fictional plot and fictional heroes. All books are divided into two categories - fiction and non-fiction.
