Who was Dmitri Shostakovich? The USSR`s official figurehead composer and son of the revolution that brought the Soviet state into being, or a secret dissident whose contempt for the totalitarian regime was scathing? Perhaps both? Since the posthumous publication in 1979 of alleged memoirs by Shostakovich, the controversy about the composer and his music has escalated into the most rancorous debate the world of classical music has ever known. Ian MacDonald`s "The New Shostakovich" presents the case for the dissident view, arguing passionately that the meaning of the composer`s music cannot be fully appreciated without a knowledge of the terrible times he and his fellow artists lived through under Soviet Communism. A widely read and...
William Tyndale is the finest English translator of the Bible, and his "New Testament" one of the most influential works in English Literature. As a young man in pre-Reformation England, where unauthorised translation of the Bible was illegal, he heard a pompous divine claim that `we were better be without God`s law than the Pope`s`. Tyndale`s answer was: `I defy the Pope and all his laws, and if God spares my life, ere many years I will cause a boy that driveth the plough shall know more of the scripture than thou dost`. Unable to do this in England, he spent the rest of his life in exile on the Continent and was executed as a heretic in 1536. His translations - of the entire "New Testament" and much of the "Old Testament" - were...

The new novel from the #1 New York Times bestselling author, which takes readers deeper into the mind of Eve Dallas than ever before. The number one New York Times bestselling author J. D. Robb presents an intense and terrifying new case for New York homicide cop Eve Dallas, one that will take her all the way to the city that gave her her name and plunge her into the nightmares of her childhood. When a monster named Isaac McQueen taken down by Eve back in her uniform days escapes from Rikers, he has two things in mind. One is to pick up where he left off, abducting young victims and leaving them scarred in both mind and body. The other is to get revenge on the woman who stopped him all those years ago.
The New York Trilogy is an astonishing and original book: three cleverly interconnected novels that exploit the elements of standard detective fiction and achieve a new genre that is all the more gripping for its starkness. In each story the search for clues leads to remarkable coincidences in the universe as the simple act of trailing a man ultimately becomes a startling investigation of what it means to be human. Auster`s book is modern fiction at its finest: bold, arresting and unputdownable.
