This is a stunning international thriller of psychology and conspiracy, espionage and prophecy, history and suspense. After someone he has under surveillance is slaughtered - literally - CIA agent Jack Dunphy is ordered to leave London immediately and return to the US, where he is dumped into a tedious desk job that seems calculated to make him quit. Determined to learn why, Dunphy uses all his CIA tradecraft on the agency that has turned against him - and discovers the fragments of a story that seems too wild to be true, providing him with evidence of a conspiracy that goes back to the time of Christ, a conspiracy so vast and deep and old that the CIA itself is but a cover for it. Embroiled in a plot far more elaborate than he ever...

It only takes a couple of visits to convince Dr Elizabeth Bancroft that Adam Hunter is not just having bad dreams. He`s a child possessed. His father is desperate: adamant that his son`s affliction is the result of a curse he incurred in the depths of the Amazon, where a badly misguided military operation ended in a terrifying and macabre encounter. There he met two women - one more bad than good, who placed the curse - and the other more good than bad, with whom any hope of saving his son resides. Mark Hunter leaves the Scottish Highlands to beg help from the mysterious woman, leaving his son in the care of Elizabeth - who is about to discover there are equally dark secrets on their own doorstep. And in her
Maggie is an astonishing novel of social realism, which parallels many of today`s ills. Set in the urban squalor of New York in the 1890s, it follows the careers of the innocent Maggie and her brother Jimmie, children of brutal and drunken parents. It is a tour-de-force equal to The Red Badge of Courage. Also included in this volume are seven of Stephen Crane`s short stories. The Monster is a novelette which provides a bitter commentary on man`s inhumanity to man; The Blue Hotel, a tale of murder in a small Nebraska town; His New Mittens, which concerns the reflections of a runaway boy, is followed by four stories of sensation and excitement.

From the reign of Tsar Nicholas II to the brutal cult of Stalin to the ebullient, uncertain days of perestroika, nowhere has the inextricable relationship between politics and culture been more starkly illustrated than in twentieth-century Russia. In the first book to fully examine the intricate and often deadly interconnection between Russian rulers and Russian artists, cultural historian Solomon Volkov (who experienced firsthand many of the events he describes) brings to life the human stories behind some of the greatest masterpieces of our time. Here is Tolstoy, who used his godlike place among the Russian people to rail against the autocracy, even as he eschewed violence; Gorky, the first native writer to openly welcome the...
«Ce fut un peu avant midi qu`on frappa à la porte. Odette était sortie. On frappa de nouveau et la porte s`ouvrit. Ils étaient deux, en gabardine, le feutre sur l`œil et les mains dans les poches. - Pierre Doutre? - C`est moi. Ils s`approchèrent lentement, chacun d`un côté du lit. Ils étaient tels que Doutre les avait imaginés, dans ses rêves. Ils n`avaient pas l`air méchants. Ils étaient solides, compacts. L`un des deux, le plus grand, avait une curieuse cicatrice qui courait sur sa joue gauche, comme une fêlure. Ils sentaient le mouillé, la rue, le réel. Doutre se renversa doucement sur son oreiller et sourit. - Je vous attendais, Je vous attendais depuis si...
