ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
London. A city robbing and killing people since 50BC.
The Vizz: an industry in crisis. Baxter Stone, a film maker and television veteran, a lifelong Londoner (who thinks he sees better than others) is having problems in the postbrain, crumbling capital. Swindled by an insurance company, he's in in debt; a Lamborghini is blocking his drive and MI6 is blocking his mobile reception.
He hopes to turn it round and get the documentary series that will get him the Big Money. But what do you do if history is your sworn enemy and the whole world conspires against you? Is there any way, you could, for a moment, rule the world justly?
Darkly comic, How to Rule the World follows Baxter's battle for truth, justice and classy colour grading as it takes him from the pass of Thermopylae, to the peacocking serial killers of Medieval France, and the war in Syria. A trip from the Garden of Eden to Armageddon, plus reggae.

In 2003, Osama al-Kharrat returns to Beirut after many years in America to stand vigil at his father's deathbed.

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
'None of my books is just about race,' Levy has said.'They're about people and history.'

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
The setting: Europe. A continent overrun by tourism, where tapas-crawlers cross paths with machine-gun-wielding cops, graffiti tour guides collide with anti-gentrification protestors and, in one classy mountain retreat, a bored patissier teaches mindful croissant-making to a bereaved luggage designer.
Witness to this outlandish international spectacle is Mark, comically self-conscious and often thoroughly disturbed by modern life. In his 30s and working as a copywriter for an online travel company despite never having personally ventured further than France, Mark is determined to make up for lost time by embarking on the kind of freewheeling summer expedition he's always dreamed of. And even if his revered older cousin Paris is unable to join him on the trip, he's determined not to let that hold him back. Mark can always email the mysteriously absent Paris about the homes and experiences he has along the way, in intricate and often hilarious detail.

Jack and Toni, childhood schoolmates living in the Solomon Islands, set out on a routine boat trip to a neighboring island. Things go awry when they discover, due to an oversight by Toni, that they do not have enough fuel to make the journey and are stranded at sea. Optimistic at first that they will soon be rescued, they slowly begin to realize, as the first day draws to an end, that they are in serious jeopardy with no end but their own demise in sight.
Based on a true story as the days lengthen at sea, we are gifted with a vision of the beauty of the Solomon Islands and the environmental debt they are owed by the world after decades of overfishing, logging and now rising sea levels due to global warming.
At the heart, this is a crucial and important novel on climate change, culture and human relations.

Я вспыхнула и натянула юбку как можно ниже. Жесткой линии его губ коснулась едва заметная улыбка. Судя по блеску в серых глазах, мое смятение доставило ему удовольствие.

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
Я нашел невозможным исполнять обязанности короля без помощи и поддержки женщины, которую люблю.
Эдуард VIII, обращение к нации, декабрь1936 года
Это был грандиозный скандал, потрясший не только Англию, но и весь мир!
Едва взойдя на престол, английский король Эдуард VIII отрекся от него ради брака с экстравагантной американкой Уоллис Симпсон. Его не смутили ни прошлое возлюбленной, ни грязные слухи, витающие вокруг нее.
Хрупкая, элегантная, дерзкая на язык... Уоллис или обожали, или ненавидели, а от ее шокирующих выходок страдали многие, даже лучшая подруга.
И вот что интересно: всего за несколько часов до роковой аварии в Париже другая "королева скандала" - принцесса Диана - посетила виллу, где когда-то жила Уоллис. Похоже, этих двух знатных особ связывала общая тайна…
