         ♦ Сталин был против постановки "Гамлета", вероятно, потому же, почему он был против "Макбета" и "Бориса Годунова" - изображение образа властителя, запятнавшего себя на пути к власти преступлением, было ему не по душе (Гладков 1).

    Тихо, раздельными неслышными шагами подошёл он к окну и поднялся на цыпочки. Вся спаленка Фёдора Павловича предстала пред ним как на ладони. (Ф. Достоевский, Братья Карамазовы) — Softly and noiselessly, step by step, he approached the window, and raised himself on tiptoe. All Fyodor Pavlovich's bedroom lay open before him.

    - Приказал снять с позиции пулемёт. Сейчас полезем туда втроём. Прямо из окошка будем бить. Оттуда всё видно, как на ладони. (К. Симонов, Дни и ночи) — 'I had this machine-gun taken away from its position. The three of us are going to crawl up there with it. We'll fire at them from the window. From there you can see everything like the palm of your hand.'

    Обзор был отличный, сверху вниз, направо и налево, и ни деревца, ни кустика - всё, как на ладони. (О. Смирнов, Гладышев из разведроты) — It was an excellent position for observation, they could see the road below for quite a distance in both directions with no bushes or trees to get in the way - a clear view.

Овечкин, С фронтовым приветом) — We here at the battle-front can size up a man at a glance. You don't have to know a man long - go into battle with him two or three times and you'll soon find out whether he holds his country dear and is prepared to give his life for it or not.

    - Вот как сразу, - сказал Платонов... - Либо всё как на ладони, либо "непознаваемое"? А может быть, просто такие сложные системы, которые не поддаются ключу от висячего амбарного замка? (Ф. Кнорре, Шорох сухих листьев) — 'From one extreme to the other,' said Platonov... 'Either everything laid bare, or 'unknowable'. But perhaps there may be systems a bit too complex to be opened by some key from a barndoor padlock?'

    - А с инструментами, и не с такими, я умею обращаться. Впрочем, здесь и подсказывать ничего не нужно. Всё как на ладони. (С. Сартаков, Лист Мёбиуса) — 'I know how to use a tool kit. Actually, I don't think you'll need to explain anything. It's all as clear as daylight.'
