Purity doubts his story, until reports begin to filter through from Jackals' neighbours of the terrible Army of Shadows, marching across the continent and sweeping all before them. But there's more to Purity than meets the eye. As Jackals girds itself for war against an army of near-unkillable beasts serving an ancient evil with a terrible secret, it soon becomes clear that their only hope is a strange little royalist girl and the last, desperate plan of an escaped slave.

Rough Music	HarperCollins Publishers
Автор: Patrick Gale Издательство: HarperCollins Publishers, 2009	PDF, 384 страницы, 11.52 МБ 0 Оценка:
A gripping and unnerving story of a family's secrets and lies, from the bestselling author of 'Notes from an Exhibition'. Julian as a small boy is taken on the perfect Cornish holiday. When glamorous American cousins unexpectedly swell the party, however, emotions run high and events spiral out of control. Though he has been brought up in the forbidding shadow of the prison his father runs, though his parents are neither as normal nor as happy as he supposes, Julian's world view is the sunnily selfish, accepting one of boyhood. It is only when he becomes a man — seemingly at ease with love, with his sexuality, with his ghosts — that the traumatic effects of that distant summer rise up to challenge his defiant assertion that he is happy and always has been.

A rag-tag community of authors, artists and exiles from all over Europe gather here for the summer months. On the surface, their dinners and beach parties may seem a world away from a continent gearing up for war, but it is 1935, a time of suspicion and mutual mistrust. And with good reason too, as Tom learns first-hand when his sun-kissed summer idyll is shattered as someone tries to murder him in his sleep. His past life as an intelligence operative has come back to haunt him, that much he knows. But his investigation also reveals that several of the residents in the village are not who they claim to be. Tom must keep up the pretence of normality as he draws his enemy out. So many years on, suddenly consumed by suspicion, Tom tries to resist becoming the man he left behind — the monster he once was!

Richard II	HarperCollins Publishers
Автор: William Shakespeare Издательство: HarperCollins Publishers, 2011	PDF, 288 страниц, 8.64 МБ 7 Оценка:
HarperCollins is proud to present its new range of best-loved, essential classics. 'Bear you well in this new spring of time, Lest you be cropp'd before you come to prime'. King Richard II rules England in a wasteful and short-sighted way, spending money unwisely and selecting his counselors foolishly. His manner ostracises him from his people and his country and it's not long before both commoners and noblemen feel Richard has gone too far. When Richard seizes land that rightfully belongs to his cousin Henry Bolingbroke, Bolingbroke retaliates by invading England while Richard is at war in Ireland. More popular with the commoners, Henry is eventually crowned King Henry IV. One of Shakespeare's 'history plays', Richard II explores the notion of the shadow that is cast over a king's reign if the throne is gained in underhand ways.
