Virginia Woolf`s second novel, Night and Day (1919), portrays the gradual changes in a society, the patterns and conventions of which are slowly disintegrating; where the representatives of the younger generation struggle to forge their own way, for `... life has to be faced: to be rejected; then accepted on new terms with rapture`. Woolf begins to experiment with the novel form while demonstrating her affection for the literature of the past.

It is doing so now. No one can see it whole therefore.` Jacob`s life is presented in subtle, delicate and...

"The Night Gardner" is as fine an example of crime fiction as one is likely to find. But to pigeonhole this book in even that well-respected genre is to do Pelecanos an injustice. The richness of color and detail, the power and pacing of the narrative, and the story`s emotional depth place Pelecanos squarely in the company of John Le Carre, Richard Price, and a handful of others whose skill transcends the confines of genre. Pelecanos has produced a crime novel that rewards readers with an experience that satisfies on a level not limited to mere entertainment.

" Nitchevo ": ces trois syllabes, en russe, signifient " rien ". L`exclamation dit la résignation, l`acceptation fataliste du sort, et finalement, l`opiniâtreté à vivre.
