The Day of the Lie	Little, Brown and Company
Автор: Brodrick William Издательство: Little, Brown and Company, 2005	PDF, 384 страницы, 11.52 МБ 0 Оценка:
They came for me in November nineteen fifty-one and took me to Mokotow prison. Cambridge, the present day. And out of the past, a cry for help: Father Anselm, the brilliant Benedictine, receives a visit from an old friend with a dangerous story to tell — the story of a woman betrayed by time, fate, and someone close to her... someone still unknown. As a young woman, Roza Mojeska was part of an underground resistance group in Communist Poland. But after her arrest, a Stasi officer makes her a devil's bargain — and in the dark of a government prison, a terrible choice is made. Now, fifty years later, Anselm is called upon to investigate both Roza's story and a mystery dating back to the early 1980s, in the icy grip of the Cold War. And as he peels back years of history, decades of secrets, a half-century of lies, he exposes a truth that an entire generation was killed to keep hidden.

Автор: Bainbridge Beryl Издательство: Little, Brown and Company, 2005	PDF, 192 страницы, 5.76 МБ 5 Оценка:
People came in and out, chairs were moved, dishes gathered up on trays, but it was happening at a great distance; she concentrated entirely on his pink face crowned with foppish curls. Genteel, passive Ann works for the BBC in London and is engaged to a successful academic, fulfilling her snobbish mother's ambitions — more or less — while the Swinging Sixties happen elsewhere, to other people. Then she meets William: snub-nosed and generous, cunning and protean. She is first seduced, then transfixed, as William's past, present and future swirl around her kaleidoscopically, overwhelmingly, and Ann is herself irrevocably, and irreparably, changed.

As dawn breaks over the Pont Neuf, and the pavements of the great city start to come to life, Claire Stanton is already awake and at work; already mixing and stirring the finest, smoothest, richest chocolate to be found anywhere; made entirely by hand and sold for a fortune in tiny amounts to the grandes dames of Paris. It is a huge shift from the chocolate factory she worked in back home in the north of England. Determined to seize the day, she moved out to Paris in a blaze of glory, thrilled at landing the job of her dreams. But now here she is, four years later, slaving in the back room every day from dawn till dusk; living in a garret; hardly a friend in the world. Claire feels she can barely continue. Should she give up her dreams of becoming a chocolatier? Because following your dreams can sometimes take a little more than buying a Eurostar ticket...

The Girl Who Fell from the Sky	Little, Brown and Company
Автор: Mawer Simon Издательство: Little, Brown and Company, 2013	DOC, 368 страниц, 1.00 МБ 7 Оценка:
Marian Sutro is an outsider: the daughter of a diplomat, brought up on the shores of Lake Geneva and in England, half French, half British, naive yet too clever for her own good. But when she is recruited from her desk job by SOE to go undercover in wartime France, it seems her hybrid status — and fluent French — will be of service to a greater, more dangerous cause. Trained in sabotage, dead-drops, how to perform under interrogation and how to kill, Marian parachutes into south-west France, her official mission to act as a Resistance courier. But her real destination is Paris, where she must seek out family friend Clement Pelletier, once the focus of her adolescent desires. A nuclear physicist engaged in the race for a new and terrifying weapon, he is of urgent significance to her superiors. As she struggles through the strange, lethal landscape of the Occupation towards this reunion, what completes her training is the understanding that war changes everything, and neither love nor fatherland may be trusted. The Girl Who Fell from the Sky is both a gripping adventure story and a moving meditation on patriotism, betrayal and the limits of love.

Generation X	Little, Brown and Company
Автор: Coupland Douglas Издательство: Little, Brown and Company, 2013	PDF, 224 страницы, 6.72 МБ 0 Оценка:
Andy, Dag and Claire have been handed a society priced beyond their means. Twentysomethings, brought up with divorce, Watergate and Three Mile Island, and scarred by the 80s fallout of yuppies, recession, crack and Ronald Reagan, they represent the new generation — Generation X. Fiercely suspicious of being lumped together as an advertiser's target market, they have quit dreary careers and cut themselves adrift in the California desert. Unsure of their futures, they immerse themselves in a regime of heavy drinking and working in no future McJobs in the service industry. Underemployed, overeducated and intensely private and unpredicatable, they have nowhere to direct their anger, no one to assuage their fears, and no culture to replace their anomie. So they tell stories: disturbingly funny tales that reveal their barricaded inner world. A world populated with dead TV shows, Elvis moments and semi-disposible Swedish furniture...
