Pamphlet
(памфлет, брошюра) – a book of a few sheets of print, commonly with a paper cover
Parable
A brief story, told or written in order to teach a moral lesson. Christ's tale of the Good Smamritan
(Luke 10: 30-7) is an example.
Paradox
A situation or a statement that seems to contradict itself, but on closer inspection, does not. This line
from John Donne's "Holy Sonnet 14" provides an example:
That I may rise, and stand, o'erthrow me,
The poet paradoxically asks God to knock him down so that he may stand. What he means by this is
for God to destroy his present self and remake him as a holier person.
