Ramón Buenaventura Książki

�Powieść jest zręcznym połączeniem fakt�w historycznych, mit�w dotyczących rodziny car�w Rosji i fantazji autora budującej na tym tle akcję powieści kryminalnej. Minęło dziesięć miesięcy od przejęcia władzy przez rewolucjonist�w. Biała Armia zbliża się do miasta, gdzie car i jego rodzina więzieni są przez bolszewik�w. Nadworny jasnowidz Rasputin przepowiada rychłą śmierć rodziny Romanow�w, lecz dostrzega szansę na ocalenie jednego z jej członk�w. Moskwa, czasy wsp�łczesne Rosja przeżywa ekonomiczny upadek. Obserwujący to mieszkańcy kraju wierzą, że przywr�cenie monarchii może być remedium na wszystkie obecne problemy. Nowy car ma zostać wybrany spośr�d dalekich krewnych Mikołaja II, przedtem jednak Miles Lord, amerykański prawnik i znawca rosyjskiej historii, ma prześwietlić jego przeszłość.

The Facts is the unconventional autobiography of a writer who has reshaped our idea of fiction—a work of compelling candor and inventiveness, instructive particularly in its revelation of the interplay between life and art.

'Subtle, funny and furious' Observer. What if a lookalike stranger stole your name, hijacked your biography, and went about the world pretending to be you? Startlingly, Philip Roth meets a man in Jerusalem called Philip Roth who has been touring Israel - riding high on the author's reputation - preaching a bizarre reverse-exodus of the Jews, encouraging them to return to their ancestral homes in Europe. Roth decides to stop him, even if that means impersonating the impersonator. Operation Shylock is at once spy story, political thriller, meditation on identity and unfathomable journey through a volatile, frightening middle-east.

"In Silverview, John le Carré turns his focus to the world that occupied his writing for the past sixty years--the secret world itself. Julian Lawndsley has renounced his high-flying job in the city for a simpler life running a bookshop in a small English seaside town. But only a couple of months into his new career, Julian's evening is disrupted by a visitor. Edward, a Polish émigré living in Silverview, the big house on the edge of town, seems to know a lot about Julian's family and is rather too interested in the inner workings of his modest new enterprise. When a letter turns up at the door of a spy chief in London warning him of a dangerous leak, the investigations lead him to this quiet town by the sea . . . Silverview is the mesmerizing story of an encounter between innocence and experience and between public duty and private morals. In his inimitable voice John le Carré, the greatest chronicler of our age, seeks to answer the question of what we truly owe to the people we love."--
