In her trademark series, One-On-One, Christine Gardner, freelance journalist and television presenter, puts powerful people into the limelight. Her latest subject is Salleh Abdullah, once known as Trevor Cartwright, a British expatriate mathematician and convert to Islam. He has amassed a fortune and now international notoriety via his deft trading on financial markets using methods that thus far have defied all analysis. In just two years his fortune in equities has grown so great that his holdings in multinational companies are causing concern. To date, he has resisted all contact with the media, but Christine and he share a past, a past that both of them keenly recall. Cartwright finds her request to record episodes of One-On-One impossible to refuse. This will be Salleh Abdullah's first media exposure. But who is Christine working for? Is she freelance? Or does she appear in someone else's script? Perhaps her husband, Anthony Green, who watches his wife's encounter with Salleh Abdullah from his office desk, can answer. Set on a private island in the South China Sea where Cartwright regularly retires to work, One-On-One follows the progress of Christine Gardiner's project as allegiances begin to shift.

Tr?g?nd linie, am spune c? ne afl?m ?n prezen?a unui demers pertinent de mare actualitate, a unui pre?ios instrument de lucru menit s? umple un gol ?n literatura didactico-?tiin?ific? de specialitate, dar totodat? put?nd deveni util ?i unor cercuri intelectuale interesate de evolu?ia fenomenului poetic rusesc ?n secolul XX, situate ?n afara comunit??ii universitare. (Mircea Croitoru) E o bibliotec? umbl?toare. A citit mii de c?r?i ale altora ?i a scris c?teva ale sale. ?l recuno?ti dintr-o mie. Ziarele, revistele, c?r?ile ?i sunt lipite de degete. Merge pe strad? ?i cite?te, a?teapt? lini?tit la o coad? ?i cite?te. Absent pentru lumea aceasta viermuitoare ?i pragmatic?, el s-a retras protector ?n spatele ziarelor ?i c?r?ilor, ?i a rezistat. Cu o ?inut? sobr?, de o ?epeno?enie verde, demn? de ?ara Fagilor de unde-?i trage ob?r?ia, nu-i po?i da anii pe care, incredibil, ?i are. (…) Dac? te duci la el acas?, totul pare sprijinit pe tomuri, iar dac? ai proasta inspira?ie s? clinte?ti ceva, acea ?arhitectur? intelectual?“ ??i poate fi fatal?. Un soi de Manole Anapoda, zidit ?n chip de An? ?ntr-o m?n?stire de c?r?i. Prietenii ?i spun Dima. Am tradus ?mpreun? din Bulat Okudjava volumul de versuri C?ntecul esen?ial ?i, din mul?i al?i poe?i contemporani ru?i, ?n periodice. Metodic, punctual, suferind de acribie ?i, bine?n?eles, scufundat ?ntr-o lectur? atunci c?nd nu lucram ?mpreun?, a dovedit c? nu e doar un consumator de literatur?, ci ?i un excelent cunosc?tor al limbii din care traducea, ?i chiar un creator. ?l invidiez pentru felul sfid?tor ?n care ?tie s? uite de televizor ?i de calculator. Dima cite?te. El e scufundat ?n ecranul unei file de carte, al unei pagini de ziar sau de revist?. ?ntr-o vreme ?n care aceste dou? ustensile subjug? lumea obosind-o, nevroz?nd-o, ?mb?tr?nind-o, f?c?nd abstrac?ie de mirajul lor, el a r?mas ?nc? proasp?t, zdrav?n ?i t?n?r.

Medicul Pierre Boulenger nu se ?n?el? scriind astfel despre faima viitoare a marelui s?u prieten, Rabelais. Nimic mai ridicol dec?t p?rerile felurite care s-au risipit ?n decursul veacurilor pe socoteala maestrului Alcofibras. Mirarea acestuia ar fi mare dac? le-ar putea afla ?i desigur nu o dat? ar azv?rli printre hohote c?te-o vorba pe care urechile noastre mult prea fine de fii ai veacului al dou?zecilea nu ar putea-o cuprinde dec?t ?nro?indu-se. Ronsard vede ?n autorul lui Gargantua un animal jovial ?i ve?nic ?nsetat, t?v?lindu-se ?n b?l?i de vin ?ca o broasc? ?n noroi?.
