Set in 12th century Shrewsbury, this story features the further adventures of Brother Cadfael, as he investigates another mystery. Other titles featuring this character include "The Summer of the Danes", "Monk`s Hood" and "The Sanctuary Sparrow".
From the icy blast of reveille through the sweet release of sleep, Ivan Denisovich endures. A common carpenter, he is one of millions viciously imprisoned for countless years on baseless charges, sentenced to the waking nightmares of the Soviet work camps in Siberia. Even in the face of degrading hatred, where life is reduced to a bowl of gruel and a rare cigarette, hope and dignity prevail. This powerful novel of fact is a scathing indictment of Communist tyranny, and an eloquent affirmation of the human spirit.

Solzhenitsyn`s first book, this economical, relentless novel is one of the most forceful artistic indictments of political oppression in the Stalin-era Soviet Union. The simply told story of a typical, grueling day of the titular character`s life in a labor camp in Siberia, is a modern classic of Russian literature and quickly cemented Solzhenitsyn`s international reputation upon publication in 1962. It is painfully apparent that Solzhenitsyn himself spent time in the gulags-he was imprisoned for nearly a decade as punishment for making derogatory statements about Stalin in a letter to a friend.

Another look at the tough and tender women of New York City from Candace Bushnell, the author of Sex and the City, Trading Up, and Lipstick Jungle. In One Fifth Avenue, Bushnell tells the intertwined stories of five women at one swanky Manhattan address. One Fifth is the building ? the chicest, the hottest, the one with the best pedigree. And within its gorgeous pre-war walls, fortunes fall and rise in the early days of the new millennium. Here, as in her previous novels, Bushnell turns a gimlet eye on the social and sexual politics of New York?s elite, this time through the lens of where they live.
This is the story of a man who believes in all the British values of a stiff upper lip and keeping emotion in check. He also believes you can only truly love one person in your life, and he loses that love when his wife dies. Taking work as a teacher of English as a foreign language, he begins a series of affairs with his students, knowing that because each of them has to go home after a few months there will be no commitments and no future in any of the relationships. Until he meets a woman who turns all his ideas - about being English, about being foreign, about being able to love - upside down. This novel has all the emotional power and humour of Tony Parson`s 1999 hit novel, Man and Boy. Формат: 13 см x 20 см.
