Dark Tides Simon & Schuster

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

Number One bestselling author Philippa Gregory's new historical novel tracks the rise of the Tidelands family in London, Venice and New England. Midsummer Eve 1670. Two unexpected visitors arrive at a shabby warehouse on the south side of the River Thames. The first is a wealthy man hoping to find the lover he deserted twenty-one years before. James Avery has everything to offer, including the favour of the newly restored King Charles II, and he believes that the warehouse's poor owner Alinor has the one thing his money cannot buy - his son and heir. The second visitor is a beautiful widow from Venice in deepest mourning. She claims Alinor as her mother-in-law and has come to tell Alinor that her son Rob has drowned in the dark tides of the Venice lagoon. Alinor writes to her brother Ned, newly arrived in faraway New England and trying to make a life between the worlds of the English newcomers and the American Indians as they move toward inevitable war. Alinor tells him that she knows - without doubt - that her son is alive and the widow is an imposter. Set in the poverty and glamour of Restoration London, in the golden streets of Venice, and on the tensely contested frontier of early America, this is a novel of greed and desire: for love, for wealth, for a child, and for home. 'A gripping read spanning London, Venice and New England, all beautifully observed by Gregory' Woman & Home

Crossed Avatar Press

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

Spinning out of Crossed C-Day 2015, one of the hottest writers in all of comics makes his mark on Garth Ennis' world of uncensored terror! Kieron Gillen (Uber, The Wicked + The Divine) takes the horrors of the Crossed back to the ancient past where 75,000 years ago humanity came as close as it has ever come to being purged from the Earth. There were as few as 2000 humans remaining. This is historical fact. Why it came to this is generally blamed on super-volcano Toba causing a minor ice-age. But that's not the full story. That is not the history of the Homo Tortor, i.e. Man The Torturer. This empire before the beginning of time, that sends raiding parties gathering other Homo species and enormous mega-fauna, invented cruelty, refined domination, and perfected killing. And they think their power will last forever. There is no help, there is no hope. There is only the Crossed. This volume collects issues #75 - 80 of the ongoing Crossed: Badlands series.

Rossini: William Tell and other Rossini Overtures

Kultura. Sztuka. >Muzyka Taniec Śpiew

While today's houses swell with the works of numerous undoubted masters of the operatic genre, not one of these now- legendary composers enjoyed the immense success and popularity during their lifetimes that was experienced by a man born in Pesaro, on the Italian Adriatic coast, in 1792.The composer of no less than 39 operas, he was the darling of the Italian golden era in this field, adored not only in his home country but around Europe, and was a major contribution to the development of opera- going as a culture in 19th Century Italy.Rossini was known to be a composer who completed works at great speed. The legend behind the premier of La gazza ladra (The Thieving Magpie) has the producer locking Rossini into a room the day before the opening night in order for him to write the overture, with pages of the score being thrown to copyists from a window as they were completed.Rossini played on original instruments by The Hanover Band and they thus recorded one of its most spectacular albums under the baton of its leader Roy Goodman.Newton Classics is proud to issue this marvel....

The Faithful Spy Arrow

PolitycznaPowieść zagranicznaSensacja. Thiller. Kryminał

story torn from today's headlines - "New York Times" reporter Alex Berenson has drawn upon his experience covering the occupation in Iraq to write the most gripping and chillingly plausible thriller of the post-9/11 era. "The Faithful Spy" is a sharp, explosive story by an author who truly knows his territory. John Wells, the only American ever to penetrate al Qaeda, has been undercover so long that the CIA is no longer sure he's loyal - or even alive. Since before the attacks in 2001, Wells has been hiding in the mountains of Pakistan, biding his time, building his cover. Now, on the orders of Omar Khadri - the mastermind spearheading al Qaeda attacks on America - Wells is coming home. Neither Khadri nor Jennifer Exley, Wells's CIA case officer, quite know what to expect. During his years in the mountains, Wells has become a Muslim and begun to doubt the Americans' agenda. Yet he hates al Qaeda and the way it uses Islam to justify its murderous assaults on innocents. He is a man alone, and the CIA does not know whether to trust him. But as their high-tech intelligence gathering strategy fails and Khadri moves closer to unleashing the most devastating terrorist attack in history, Wells and Exley know they must find a way to stop him, with or without the government's approval.
