ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
In Alligator and Other Stories, Dima Alzayat captures luminously how it feels to be 'other': as a Syrian, as an Arab, as an immigrant, as a woman. Each one of the nine stories collected here is a snapshot of those moments when unusual circumstances suddenly distinguish us from our neighbours, when our difference is thrown into relief.
Here are 'dangerous' women transgressing, missing children in 1970s New York, a family who were once Syrian but have now lost their name, and a young woman about to discover the hollowness of the American dream. At its centre lies 'Alligator': a remarkable compilation of real and invented sources, which rescues from history the story of a Syrian American couple who were murdered at the hands of the state.
Alzayat explores experiences that are startling and real, delivering an emotional punch that lingers long after reading.

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
A Richard & Judy Book Club pick, Mum & Dad is a heartwarming family drama from number one bestseller Joanna Trollope, with all her trademark wit and wisdom.
What happens when family roles are reversed and the children must look after mum and dad?
It's been twenty-five years since Gus and Monica left England to start a new life in Spain, building a wine business from the ground up. However, when Gus suffers a stroke and their idyllic Mediterranean life is thrown into upheaval, it's left to their three grown-up children in London to step in...
As the children descend on the vineyard, it becomes clear that each has their own idea of how best to handle their mum and dad, as well as the family business. But as long-simmering resentments rise to the surface and tensions reach breaking point, can the family ties prove strong enough to keep them together?

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
Eric Packer is a twenty-eight-year-old multi-billionaire asset manager. We join him on what will become a particularly eventful April day in turn-of-the-twenty-first-century Manhattan. He's on a personal odyssey, to get a haircut. Sitting in his stretch limousine as it moves across town, he finds the city at a virtual standstill because the President is visiting, a rapper's funeral is proceeding, and a violent protest is being staged in Times Square by anti-globalist groups. Most worryingly, Eric's bodyguards are concerned that he may be a target...
An electrifying study in affectlessness, infused with deep cynicism and measured detachment; a harsh indictment of the life-denying tendencies of capitalism; as brutal a dissection of the American dream as Wolfe's Bonfire or Ellis's Psycho, Don DeLillo's Cosmopolis is a caustic prophecy all too quickly realized.

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
Я думаю, аннотацию к продуктам собственного сочинительства уважающий себя автор писать не может. А уважать себя все-таки нужно.
Каждым из рассказов я должен был сказать абсолютно все, что имел этим рассказом сказать, и не сказать ничего, что не имел. Если это не удалось — это проблема этих рассказов, и аннотацией тут не помочь.
Но я думаю, что удалось.
Хорошо заснуть и знать себя гребцом пироги, мерно, не рывками, но от простой работы весла тяговито идущей по озеру, неслышимому, спящему и бескрайнему, какими только бывают настоящие бескрайние озера, даже если в них работает такое весло.
Но было бы намного лучше очнуться и знать себя гребцом пироги, мерно, не рывками, но от простой работы весла тяговито идущей по озеру, неслышимому, спящему и бескрайнему, какими только бывают настоящие бескрайние озера, даже если в них работает такое весло.

Five years ago, Jamie's sister, Rose, was blown up by a terrorist bomb. His family is torn apart by their grief. His mum runs away. His dad turns to drink and hate.

But moving away for a Fresh New Start introduces Jamie to something else very interesting - a girl named Sunya. Sunya is bright, exciting and fun, and the one person at school he can call a friend. But ...
