MediaDB / «The Diamond Story [Great Diamond, Big Diamond]" by Ioanna Khmelevskaya: download fb2, read online
About the book: 2004 / Book 1 Well, how can you annoy an old unloved husband, an officer of the English colonial troops of India, a neat man and a pedant, for whose honor is above all? No problem - you just need to steal the world's largest diamond from an ancient Indian temple, and let the colonel's head hurt how to survive the unfortunate fact that his wife turned out to be... well, let's say... not particularly scrupulous. Having carried out the kidnapping, young Arabella soon changed her mind about compromising her husband, but, unfortunately, too many people were interested in the fate of the unique stone. For a century and a half, the magnificent diamond passed from hand to hand to emerge in modern Poland. And if so, it would be naive to assume that Mrs. Ioanna would not be interested in the matter. Book 2 I. Khmelevskaya said that we need to learn languages. She spoke to the devil in “The Dead Man,” but he still did not listen to the smart woman... And not everyone has the abilities of Mrs. Joanna herself: “I don’t know languages, but I can communicate in any language.” In short, every cultured person should learn how twice makes two: without You won’t find any treasures in tongues. Don't even try. To take possession of, for example, a diamond, without which there would be no “Diamond History,” you need to know at least English, French, German, Latin and Greek, not to mention Polish. And this is in the best case, because when it comes to big money, people certainly appear who recognize only one language - the language of power. But our young heroines still manage to “earn money with their own minds.” What do you think the name of the main character is? That's right - Joanna.
