Vigyázat! Cselekményleírást tartalmaz. A Csontbrigádot Rejt? nem más m?veib?l ismert fortélyos stílusában írta: egyszer? b?nügyi regény ez. Az alaphelyzet egy megsértett gentleman-agreement játékára épül. Az idegenlégió viszontagságaiban megfáradt két barát – Henry Fécamp és John Carew – elhatározza, hogy egyikük a másik halála árán leszerel a légióból. A szabadító ?tlet Carewé: egyikük egy már elk?vetett gyilkosságot – a másik bizonyító feljelentésének segítségével – vállal magára. Az ?tleten túl a felkínálkozó szabadság is az ?vé: a fej vagy írás játék neki kedvez. De az erk?lcsi jóvátétel és a végs? igazság mégis Fécampé, mivel a regény végén kiderül, hogy a játékhoz ürügyül választott gyilkosságot Carew k?vette el. Fécamp meghurcoltatásának voltaképpen barátja b?n?s jelleme az oka, mint ahogy a f?h?ssel egyetemben, a Csontbrigád t?bbi szám?z?ttje is emberi vétkek miatt szenved – ártalanul.

Sunt un om complicat, sau ca s spun mai puin favorabil despre mine, ncurcat. Nimic nu se rezolv simplu. Pentru o chestiune nensemnat, am nesfrite ezitri. Nu m pricep s merg pe drumul drept, ocolesc. Gsesc mai multe mijloace posibile i nu m pricep ce s aleg. Sunt politicos mai mult dect trebuie, mulumesc, dac se ocup cineva de mine, att de mult c incomodez. M ascult 'cnd vorbesc i nu sunt ncntat de vorba pe care o spun. mi acopr timiditatea cu unele isteimi nepotrivite. Nu tiu cum s m port cu vecinul, sunt prea umilit sau prea pretenios.“ – Anton Holban

Dragoste i moarte, altceva nu exist pe lume! i spune la un moment dat, ntr-o scen simbolic, Fane, fostul pucria, lui Ivan, fostul revoluionar. ntre aceste dou tensiuni se zbate toat lumea fr ideal a mahalalei care-i accept destinul fr revolt i fr lamentaii. n mahala se iubete repede i se moare uor. Pe ct de fragil e viaa, pe att de crud e moartea; oricine e gata s se sinucid din disperare sau s omoare din furie, supus unei obscure fataliti. Roman de mediu i de atmosfer, populat cu personaje ct se poate de pitoreti, predispuse la promiscuitate moral i conduse de o sexualitate primar, mixnd permanent nostalgicul cu grotescul, idilicul cu misticul i patetismul cu sordidul, scris n limbajul colorat de secol XIX, Maidanul cu dragoste este o tragic i trivial epopee balcanic suburban, ivit din confesiunea melancolic trzie a unui Peter Pan de mahala.“ – Marius Chivu

Az emberek, törpök, manók és tündék több mint száz esztend?n keresztül éltek békében egymás mellett. De ennek a békének vége, és a fajok ismét egymás ellen – és maguk ellen – harcolnak. Ebben a viharos id?ben születik egy gyermek, akire a világ összes vajákja várt. Ciri a Cintrai N?stényoroszlán, Calanthe királyné unokája. Különös hatalmakkal és még különösebb sorssal van megáldva, mert egy jövendölés Lángnak hívja ?t: lángnak, amely örökre megváltoztatja a világot – jó vagy rossz irányba… Ríviai Geralt, a vaják magával viszi Cirit a vajákok központjába, de Ciri egyáltalán nem hasonlít a többi tanítványhoz. Nem kell keresztülmenjen az átlagos vajákok számára a természetfeletti képességek eléréséhez szükséges mutációkon, amelyek gyakran kiirtják az érzelmeket és az emberi érzékenységet. Ciri valami egészen egyedülálló.

This is illustrated and translated version od the "Jaufry the Knight and the Fair Brunissende" & “A Tale of the Times of King Arthur" Now of a tale of chivalry, of proper fashion, great allurement, full of-wise and courteous instances, and wherein abound acts of great prowess, strange adventures, assaults, encounters, and dread battles, you may list the telling. An it amuse you, I will relate thereof all that I do know, or that it please you to give ear unto. Let me know only that which ye desire, and if ye be inclined to listen in good sooth. When the minstrel doth indeed recite, neither should hearers buy nor sell, nor in low voice hold council; for thus the recital is lost to him who speaketh, and they methinks who listen cannot find therein great pleasure. I come, then, to recount to you tidings of the court of good King Arthur; he who was so worthy, so valiant, and so wise, that his name shall never die, but whereof shall eternally be spoken the mighty things he did; and the good knights, all for their prowess known, whom he did gather at his famed Round Table. In that court, the fairest and most loyal that ever shone beneath the stars, all men did find that counsel and that aid of which they stood in need. There triumphed right, and there were wrongs redressed. There dames and damsels, widows and orphans attacked unjustly, or disinherited by force, ne'er failed to meet with champions. The oppressed of all conditions there did find a refuge, and none e'er sought protection there in vain. Give, then, sweet welcome to a poem the fruit of such good place, and deign to listen unto it in peace. The troubadour who rhymed it never knew King Arthur; but he heard the entire story told at the court of the king of Aragon, the best of monarchs in this world. * Don Pedro III., killed in 1213 at the battle of Muret. A worthy father and a famous son, lord of goodly fortunes, humble in heart, and frank in nature as in mind, the king of Aragon loveth God and feareth Him; he maintaineth faith and loyalty, peace and justice: thus God protecteth him, giveth him the victory when he raiseth his banner against the infidel, and placeth him above all those who are alike worthy and bold. Where shall we seek youthful brows wearing a crown which emitteth rays of greater splendour He giveth good gifts to minstrels and to knights, and his court is the resort of all those who are esteemed brave and courteous. It was before him the troubadour heard related, by a stranger-knight of kin to Arthur and Sir Gawain, the song he here hath rhymed; and whereof the first adventure occurred while the king of the Round Table held his court at Carlisle on the day of Pentecost. The Adventure of the Forest Twas on the day of Pentecost, a feast which to Carlisle had drawn a host of knights, that Arthur, King of Briton's isle, his crown placed on his brows, and to the old monastic church proceeded to hear mass. And with him went a brilliant train, the Knights of the Round Table. There were Sir Gawain, Lancelot du Lac, Tristrem, and Ivan bold, Eric frank of heart, and Quex the seneschal, Percival and Calogrant, Cliges the worthy, Coedis the handsome knight, and Caravis short i' the arm; the whole of his bright court, indeed, was there, and many more whose names I have forgot. When mass was done, they to the palace home returned 'mid laughter and loud noise, the thoughts of each on pleasure only bent. Each on arrival gave his humour play. Some spoke of love, and some of chivalry; and some of ventures they were going to seek. Quex at this moment came into the hall, holding a branch of apple in his hand. All made room for him; for there were few who did not fear his tongue and the hard words which it was wont to utter. This baron bold held nothing in respect. E'en of the best he ever said the worst. But this apart, he was a brave stout knight, in council sage, a valiant man of war, and lord of lineage high..
