Как я провел новый год, с переводом на русский...

At the beginning of January Mama
received a letter. She gave a cry of joy. “From Adam. He’s coming on
Satur day at one o’clock. On business...”
Adam
wasn’t a frequent visitor to the house. He had been out of touch with
the family for some time, so I had not an opportunity of seeing him yet.
Mama
told me what a wonderful boy Adam had been how he had bought and sold a
bicycle at a profit of ten shil lings before he was thirteen; how a
year later he got interes ted in business, and without any special
training went into Mr McKeller's office; how now, at twenty-seven, he
was considered a reliable official by most of the businessmen he dealt
with and earned four hundred pounds a year, even more than Papa.
At one o’clock on Saturday a car pulled up at the door.
Adam entered, smiling, wearing a fashionable coat, and greeted everybody cheerfully.
He
sat down to the rich meal which Mama had put before him. We all sat
round and, exchanging hungry looks, wat ched him — we had had our poor
dinner an hour ago...
After
Adam had spoken to the grown-ups about things which I did not
understand and therefore took no interest in, he turned to me and said:
“I hope you’ll see me to the station, Robert, I like the way you behave and want to make you a little present.”
He showed me a gold coin (монета).
“Money ... Money is everything," he continued.
“Not
a bad idea to understand it while you’re young, Robert. But you mustn’t
think I don’t like spending money. I like to eat the best, to wear the
best, to stop at the best hotels. I like to have everybody running after
me. And now look at Grandpa. What's his position! Not a penny ... lives
mostly on bread and water ..."
He stopped and smiled so pleasantly that I smiled in return...
Waiting
for him downstairs, I thought of the day when, with pockets full of
money, I should walk into a restaurant and order an expensive meal,
while the waiters hurried to carry out my orders. I looked forward to
receiving the pre sent Adam would buy me with that beautiful gold coin.
“Will you carry my bag?" Adam asked me as Mama helped him to put on his coat.
I
was ready to serve him and took the bag, which was much heavier than I
had expected. Adam walked fast. I fol lowed him half running, changing
the bag from hand to hand.
“What sort of present would you like?"
“Anything will do, Adam," I said politely.
“No, no. It must be something you’d really like."

rth". The author of the book is Ken Follett. I've never been a fan of Follett, and picked this book up with some misgivings - this book was adapted for TV series. But Follett does an amazing job of both presenting a realistic picture of the period and connecting the characters so closely, that the 2 threads are interwoven, instead of one outshining the other. What makes The Pillars of the Earth extraordinary is the time—the twelfth century; the place—feudal England; and the subject—the building of a glorious cathedral. The building of the cathedral serves as a cornerstone to explore the lives of an intriguing cast of characters and how life was lived at that point in history. What made the book for me was the characters. Even the protagonists had flaws that were believable. They persevered despite their flaws and in some cases even tried to overcome them. But each character revealed something of twelfth century life. There was the monk, the young woman, the builder, the earl, and minor roles for figures from history. They all added something to the story, and they each felt like a real person. I would advise you to read this book.

cities whose names end in -pool.We can be sure, even without reading history books, that the Greeks settled in certain places during ancient times and gave them their names with -polis which means city in Greek
