A Man of his Time
￥82.01
A wonderful historical novel from one of our best loved and most prolific writers As a young man Ernest Burton was a bold and reckless journeyman blacksmith, seducing all young girls he comes across. We watch him grow to become a master Blacksmith, and a tyrannical father of eight who refuses even to try to remain faithful to the woman he married and who reigns over his young family with an iron fist, instilling in his sons and daughters a mixture of fear and hatred of him. Burton is an extraordinary fictional creation – a bully who shows no mercy in his relentless terrorism of his sons, he can also be effortlessly charming, with a magnetic attraction that effects all he meets. Written in the sparse, plain language that Sillitoe has made his own, A Man of His Time is a mesmerising portrait of an extraordinary individual, aware that he is, in many ways, the last of a dying breed. It's a rich, absorbing, wonderfully readable novel that covers decades and crosses generations, depicting with singular brilliance an England poised on the brink of change.

A királyn? esküje
￥82.00
A hetvenes évek elején, Buenos Aires tartomány egyik kisvárosában meg?lték Tony Duránt. Tony, a sármos, rejtélyes idegen egy New Jerseyben nevelkedett Puerto Ricó-i szerencsevadász. Míg élt, az érdekl?dés k?zéppontjában állt, volt, aki csodálta, más figyelte minden lépését. ? volt a gy?ny?r? és kül?nleges Belladona ikerlányok szeret?je, az ?reg Belladonának, a vidék egyik leggazdagabb urának a bizalmasa. A b?ntényt k?vet?en a maga módján mindenki a tettes után nyomoz, ugyanakkor az esettel kapcsolatba hozott figurákon keresztül az olvasó el?tt feltárul a korabeli argentin társadalom minden ellentmondásossága, s kiderül, hogy a társadalmi-politikai visszásságok - korrupció, f?ldspekuláció, feketegazdaság - ágyaztak meg a gyilkosságnak. ?s hogy mi az igazság? Erre a kérdésre - a korrupt államügyészen kívül - Croce rend?rf?n?k és Luca Belladona t?nkrement gyártulajdonos, valamint a f?városi tudósító, Emilio Renzi keresi a választ. Az igazság azonban sokarcú, mély filozófiai fogalom. Piglia regénye árulásokról és piszkos üzletekr?l, egy ártatlan és egy igazi b?n?sr?l, szenvedélyekr?l és csapdákról szól. De leginkább az igazság viszonylagosságáról. Ricardo Piglia a kortárs argentin prózairodalom legkimagaslóbb írója, aki a regényeiben felvázolt eszmékkel, lebilincsel? ábrázolásmódjával, karakterteremt? m?vészetével kiérdemelte, hogy a kritika Borges méltó utódának tartsa.

A The New York Times No.1 bestsellerében egy manhattani baleseti sebészt a kisfia szeme láttára ?lnek meg egy játszótéren. ?t év elteltével a gyilkos még mindig szabadlábon van… Amikor Laurie Moran férjét brutálisan meggyilkolták, csak a hároméves Timmy látta az édesapja gyilkosának arcát. Az átható kék szempár még ?t évvel kés?bb is kísérti álmában Timmyt. Laurie-t még nagyobb félelem nyomasztja – a gyilkos fenyegetése, amelyet odakiáltott a fiának, mik?zben elmenekült a helyszínr?l: ?Mondd meg anyádnak, ? lesz a k?vetkez?, utána pedig te j?ssz…” ?s az asszonynak most ismét gyilkossággal van dolga, ezúttal egy megt?rtént, de megoldatlan b?nügyekkel foglalkozó tévésorozat producereként. A sorozat els? részében egy n? húsz évvel korábbi, felderítetlenül maradt meggyilkolása a téma. Az élénk társasági életet él? asszonyt a friss diplomás lánya tiszteletére rendezett gála után megfojtva találták az ágyában. A nagy port kavaró gyilkosság országszerte szerepelt a hírekben, így Laurie biztos benne, hogy az ügy – a maga pazar k?rnyezetében és az akkori éjszaka vendégeinek k?zrem?k?désével – sikerre viszi majd a m?sort. ?m amikor megkezdik a forgatást Betsy azóta elhidegült barátaival, világossá válik, hogy valamennyiüknek titkai vannak – kinek kisebbek, kinek nagyobbak. ?s k?zben ráj?vünk, hogy az átható kék szempár még mindig figyel… ?Bízzunk Mary Higgins Clarkban: tudja, hogyan kell halálra rémiszteni bennünket.” -?THE NEW YORK TIMES A gyanú árnyékában sorozat k?vetekez? része A Hamupip?ke-gyilkosság címmel fog megjelenni.

King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table

Here lies entombed the renowned King Arthur in the island of Avalon. – Inscription found at Glastonbury in the late 12th century King Arthur most probably never existed and if he did we know precious little about him, and yet he is one of the most famous Britons, while Excalibur and Camelot are perhaps the world’s best known sword and castle, and Hollywood doesn’t tire of returning to the world of Arthurian romance – another major movie is to be released in 2016. So, what’s the truth behind King Arthur? How did the legends take hold? And why have they endured for so long? Long before the Marvel Universe there was the universe of Arthurian romance and King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table examines the fact and the fiction behind Arthur, Lancelot, Merlin, Guinevere, Galahad, among others, as well as the quest for the Holy Grail. Beginning in the 12th century, the book explores what factual basis there is for the tales and how the characters, stories and motifs developed through histories, epic poems and prose tellings. The book also charts the revived interest in Arthurian romance in the 19th century and considers how the tales still hold the popular imagination today. Illustrated with more than 180 colour and black-and-white artworks and photographs and maps, King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table is an expertly written account of where literature, mythology and history meet.

Frank Herbert will forever be known as the “author of Dune,” the science fiction masterpiece that made his career and made his name. But he was an exceptionally diverse author who wrote in numerous genres. Even at the beginning of his writing career, Frank Herbert wrote whatever inspired him, irrespective of genre, market, or audience tastes. After the success of his first novel The Dragon in the Sea (1955), Herbert wrote numerous novels and short stories that failed to find a market. He persevered until finally, seven years later, he wrote the most unpublishable novel of all, Dune—which, once it finally found a home with an obscure publisher, finally made Frank Herbert a household name synonymous with science fiction. This volume collects four of those complete, never-before-published novels written before Dune: High-Opp, a dystopian science fiction novel; Angels’ Fall, a jungle survival adventure; A Game of Authors, a Cold War thriller; and A Thorn in the Bush, a mainstream novel based on some of Herbert’s experiences in Mexico.
