Andy Carpenter rescues a golden retriever from being put down and finds that the dog was supposed to have died five years before during an incident that resulted in his master being convicted of murdering his fiancee at sea. Encouraged by the prisoner`s sister, Andy endeavours to reopen the case by using the dog as a witness in court. He finds himself the object of violent interest by persons unknown who very much do not want a new trial, resulting in car chases, attempted assassination and dog-napping. Andy displays his usual court-room theatrics, but he has to bring in the Mafia before he gets to the bottom of a remarkable chain of impersonations and murder.

Marlowe is being paid to follow a sad-looking red-head named Eleanor King. Or is she called Betty Mayfield or Mrs Kinsolving? And what is the man with the swift left hook holding over her? Even in a nice little town like Esmerelda there`s no shortage of PIs, cops and bellhops to make a case more difficult, and Marlowe`s overdeveloped sense of justice is getting him into trouble again. Still, at least there`s a blonde with a snooty look and a great pair of legs to take the sting out of things ... Throughout the 1940s and 1950s Philip Marlowe stalked the tawdry neon wilderness of Southern California. There Raymond Chandler`s creation became the most famous fictional detective since Sherlock Holmes; often imitated, never bettered. Read the...

Издание полностью на английском языке. This is a real-time five-hour story set in an airport cocktail lounge during a global disaster. Five disparate people are trapped inside: Karen, a single mother waiting for her online date; Rick, the down-on-his-luck airport lounge bartender; Luke, a pastor on the run; Rachel, a cool Hitchcock blonde incapable of true human contact; and, finally a mysterious voice known as Player One. Slowly, each reveals the truth about themselves while the world as they know it comes to an end. In the tradition of Kurt Vonnegut and Ballard, Coupland explores the modern crises of time, human identity, society, religion and the afterlife. The book asks as many questions as it answers...

Rick Dockery was the third-string quarterback for the Cleveland Browns. In the AFC Championship game, to the surprise and dismay of virtually everyone, Rick actually got into the game. With a 17-point lead and just minutes to go. Rick provided what was arguably the worst single performance in the history of the NFL.

But all Rick knows is football, and he insists that his agent find a team that needs him. Against enormous odds. Rick finally gets a job - as the starting quarterback for the Mighty Panthers… of Parma, Italy. The Parma Panthers desperately want a former NFL player - any former NFL player - at their helm.

This book gives a practical method for playing the harpsichord in a way that was lost when the instrument was marginalized by the piano in the 19th century. Since a thorough knowledge of historical performance practice is such an important aspect of playing this repertoire, excerpts from relevant primary sources are given at the end of many of the lessons.

As a playwright Chekhov was subversive, even revolutionary, breaking away from the prevailing fashions of contemporary theatre to create an exhilarating new form of drama. He created many plays without heroes and villains, and focused instead on the individual grappling with a moral dilemma. In place of the happy ending came ambiguity, in place of dramatic conflict came the solitary quest. Shocking to his first audiences, his plays are equally provocative today. A new translation by Peter Carson with an introduction by Richard Gilman.

In these tales Gogol guides us through the elegant streets of St Petersburg, the city erected by force and ingenuity on the marshes of the Neva estuary. Something of the deception and violence of the city`s creation seems to lurk beneath its harmonious facade, however, and it confounds its inhabitants with false dreams and absurd visions - `nothing is what it seems!` warns Gogol. St Petersburg is also the setting for "Marriage", Gogol`s satire on courtship and cowardice. Finally, for "The Government Inspector", indisputably Russia`s greatest comedy, we move to the provinces although even here St Petersburg`s preoccupation with status and appearances makes its presence felt.

Anton Chekhov`s popularity in the west is without parallel for a foreign writer. He has been absorbed into our culture, and accepted as one of our own. His plays lend themselves easily to the stage, calling for actors with intelligence and common sense rather than a dramatic voice or histrionic skills. He takes from everyday life themes of frustration which apply to us all - the difficulty of carving out a happy existence, the problems of love, the fading of hope, the universal feeling that time passes and we never quite get things right. This seems pessimistic, and yet Chekhov claimed he was writing comedy. Readers, actors and directors must decide for themselves which way to play these pieces. They are full of sadness, but a sadness...
