For centuries, the werewolves of Toronto have managed to live in peace and tranquility, hidden quietly away on their London, Ontario farm.

Forced to hide from the light of day, Henry can’t hunt the killer alone, so he turns to Vicki Nelson for help. As they race against time to stop the murderer, they begin to fear that their combined talents may not be enough to prevent him from completing his deadly plan.

An evil being has been sealed away for centuries in a sarcophagus never meant to be opened, waiting patiently for his chance to rise again. Now, brought to the Egyptology Department of Toronto’s Royal Ontario Museum, the seals and spells that imprisoned him chipped away from his discoverers, he has reached forth to claim the minds and souls of Toronto’s unsuspecting citizens. And only three people had any sense that something was wrong…. For Henry Fitzroy, it began with terrifying images of the sun, a marker of death for a vampire. Fearing for his sanity, he turns to his sometimes-lover, private investigator Vicki Taylor, for help. As the two struggle to cope with Henry’s obsession, Vicki’s closest friend and former partner Mike Celluci, is following up on two mysterious deaths at the museum, certain that a force from beyond the grave is responsible for everything. .

The Graduate	Penguin Group
Автор: Charles Webb Издательство: Penguin Group, 2009	PDF, 192 страницы, 5.76 МБ 5 Оценка:
'For twenty-one years I have been shuffling back and forth between classrooms and libraries. Now you tell me what the hell it's got me'. That's how Benjamin Braddock talked when he came down from university. Somehow it didn't seem to be what his father expected from a college education, and everyone was really appalled when Ben raped Mrs Robinson (that was her story anyway) and ran off with her daughter in the middle of her wedding to someone else... a brilliantly sordid tale of a young man's search for identity and a portrayal of the worst-behaved yet most sympathetic anti-hero of the day.

Labels	Penguin Group
Автор: Evelyn Waugh Издательство: Penguin Group, 1999	PDF, 176 страниц, 5.28 МБ 0 Оценка:
«Evelyn Waugh chose the name «Labels» for his first travel book because, he said, the places he visited were already «fully labelled» in people's minds. Yet even the most seasoned traveller could not fail to be inspired by his quintessentially English attitude and by his eloquent and frequently outrageous wit. From Europe to the Middle East and North Africa, from Egyptian porters and Italian priests to Maltese sailors and Moroccan merchants — as he cruises around the Mediterranean his pen cuts through the local colour to give an entertaining portrait of the Englishman abroad.»

A Passage to India	Penguin Group
Автор: E. M. Forster Издательство: Penguin Group, 1998	DjVu, 304 страницы, 12.16 МБ 0 Оценка:
What did happen to Miss Quested in the Marabar Caves? This tantalizing question provides the intense drama at the centre of Forster's last and greatest novel, of racial tension in colonial India. After a mysterious incident during their visit to the Marabar Caves, the charming Dr Aziz is accused of assaulting Adela Quested, a naïve young Englishwoman. As he is brought to trial the fragile structure of Anglo-Indian relations collapses and the racism inherent in colonialism is exposed — a theme which still has powerful, dangerous realities today. Yet the novel is also, in Forster's words, 'about something wider than politics ... about the universe as embodied in the Indian earth and the Indian sky'.

A Dead Man's Memoir: A Theatrical Novel	Penguin Group
Автор: Mikhail Bulgakov Издательство: Penguin Group, 2007	PDF, 208 страниц, 6.24 МБ 7 Оценка:
This is Bulgakov's semi-autobiographical story of a writer who fails to sell his novel and fails to commit suicide. When his play is taken up by the theatre, literary success beckons, but he has reckoned without the grotesquely inflated egos of the actors, directors and theatre managers.

The Villa, The Lake, The Meeting: Wannsee and the Final Solution	Penguin Group
Автор: Mark Roseman Издательство: Penguin Group, 2003	PDF, 160 страниц, 4.80 МБ 8 Оценка:
On 20 January 1942, the most murderous meeting in history took place. Chaired by Reinhard Heydrich, one of the most feared men in Germany, it summoned top Nazi officials to a grand villa on the shore of Berlin’s Lake Wannsee in order to clarify ‘the Final Solution of the Jewish question’. They ate good food, drank cognac and smoked cigars – and in less than two hours had effectively sentenced six million people to death. Only one set of minutes from this secret meeting survived, and argument has raged over its contents. Now Mark Roseman brilliantly unravels the macabre mystery of what has been called ‘the most shameful document of modern history’.

Fateful Choices: Ten Decisions that Changed the World, 1940-1941	Penguin Group
Автор: Ian Kershaw Издательство: Penguin Group, 2008	PDF, 656 страниц, 19.68 МБ 0 Оценка:
The history of the Second World War, with its horrible twists and turns, is so well known that the major events and their outcomes have taken on a sort of inevitability. Ian Kershaw's extraordinarily though-provoking and gripping new book, Fateful Choices, demolishes any such sense of inevitability. It dramatises brilliantly and distressingly events that between them could have resulted in disaster or victory — either for the Allies or for the Axis.

This book is all about those moments when we 'know' something without knowing why. It explores the phenomenon of 'blink', showing how a snap judgment can be far more effective than a cautious decision.
