Here is Trump in action. We see how he operates day to day - how he runs his business and how he runs his life - as he chats with friends and family, clashes with enemies, efficiently buys up Atlantic City`s top casinos, changes the face of the New York City skyline . . . and plans the tallest building in the world. But even a maverick plays by rules, and here Trump formulates his eleven guidelines for success. He isolates the common elements in his greatest deals; he shatters myths; he names names, spells out the zeros, and fully reveals the deal-maker`s art. And throughout, Trump talks - really talks - about how he does it. Trump: The Art of the Deal is an unguarded look at the mind of a brilliant entrepreneur and an unprecedented...

Thomas Hardy`s only historical novel, "The Trumpet Major" is set in Wessex during the Napoleonic Wars. Hardy skilfully immerses us in the life of the day, making us feel the impact of historical events on the immemorial local way of life - the glamour of the coming of George III and his soldiery, fears of the press-gang and invasion, and the effect of distant but momentous events like the Battle of Trafalgar. He interweaves a compelling, bitter-sweet romantic love story of the rivalry of two brothers for the hand of the heroine Anne Garland, played out against the loves of a lively gallery of other characters. While there are elements of sadness and even tragedy, "The Trumpet-Major" shows Hardy`s skills of story-telling, characterisation...

From the opening bars, when the body of Tony Aliso is pulled from the trunk of his Rolls Royce Silver Cloud on Mulholland Drive, to the final grace note on a Hawaiian beach, Connelly has crafted a jazzy, funky, roller coaster of a book. The return of maverick homicide detective Hieronymous (Harry) Bosch (from 1995`s The Last Coyote) is cause for rejoicing. The Aliso murder quickly embroils Bosch and his new team (Kizmin Rider, a young black female officer on the rise in the department; veteran Jerry Edgar; and their boss, Lieutenant Grace Billets) in a Byzantine tangle of Las Vegas mob money, Hollywood filmmaking and police politics. The plot rushes headlong into deadends and deadfalls, repeatedly reorients and tears off in a new...

I know now I never would have had the strength of my convictions. I am living in a world without Lucy. I have no choice about that. If she were alive and I had that choice, I wouldn`t have been able to last without her for a day. `What happens when the person who is your family is someone you aren`t bound to by blood?

En Russie, l`influence des femmes en politique a pris racine dans une étonnante tradition historique devenue un véritable phénomène de civilisation. Celles que l`on a coutume d`appeler les "Tsarines", même lorsqu`elles n`ont aucun lien avec la famille impériale, voient leur pouvoir prendre corps au XVIIIe siècle, où les femmes régnèrent sans interruption. Le XIXe siècle est celui des Tsarines de l`ombre. Des palais de Saint-Pétersbourg aux souterrains du Kremlin, les égéries occultes d`Alexandre Ier et Alexandre II, Mme de Krüdener et la célèbre Katia Dolgorouki, eurent une influence politique notable. Sans oublier la femme de Nicolas II et son...

La solitude est partout, dans la promiscuité d`une loge de concierge, dans le cœur d`une adolescente ingrate ou d`une jeune femme branchée, dans l`exaspération d`un couple marié depuis trop longtemps, dans les yeux d`un bébé qui attend sa mère partout. Et l`on voudrait nous faire croire que ces instruments (téléphone portable, télévision, ) destinés à nous relier au monde peuvent y changer quelque chose. Mais c`est tout le contraire. La preuve en 16 nouvelles légères et graves, 16 scènes prises sur le vif, dans un immeuble où chacun se croise sans vraiment se voir.
