In this masterwork of suspense by John , an insane criminal, fueled by rage and vengeance, threatens to destroy a family - and the police are powerless. For fourteen years, convicted rapist Max Cady nursed his hatred for Sam Bowden into an unrelenting passion for revenge. He lived only for the day he would be free - free to track down and destroy the man who had put him behind bars. Murder was merciful compared to what Cady had in mind - and what Cady had in mind was Bowden`s innocent and lovely teenage daughter. Формат: 10,5 см x 17,5 см.

Ce roman trop oublié est un chef-d`œuvre unique chez Dumas. Il aurait pu être signé de Sterne, ou de Swift c`est dans leur ton qu`il évoque la traite des noirs. Le récit est plein de gaieté et de verve, de burlesque parodique: on y trouve les grandes scènes du roman d`aventures, la prise du navire marchand, la mutinerie à bord, l`Amérique de Fenimore Cooper. Les personnages sont empruntés à la tradition comique: l`Anglais en proie au spleen, le trompeur, le gourmand, le niais, le chef indien. C`est aussi une œuvre sombre: une suite de morts, animaux massacrés, esclaves tués en route, immigrants anglais décimés par la maladie, indigènes...

Based on hundreds of hours of interviews with the man who authored In Cold Blood and Breakfast at Tiffany`s, as well as with nearly everyone who knew him, this absorbing, definitive biography follows Truman Capote from his eccentric childhood in Alabama to the heights of New York society. Featuring many photographs, this book also candidly recounts a gifted and celebrated writer`s descent into the life of alcohol and drugs that would ultimately consume his bulldog spirit and staggering talent - but not before he`d hobnob with the likes of Grace Paley and Lee Radziwill, feud outrageously with Gore Vidal and Jacqueline Susann, and stage at New York`s Plaza Hotel the sensational Black and White Ball.
