ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
Julian Treslove, a professionally unspectacular former BBC radio producer, and Sam Finkler, a popular Jewish philosopher, writer and television personality, are old school friends. Despite very different lives, they've never quite lost touch with each other - or with their former teacher, Libor Sevcik. Both Libor and Finkler are recently widowed, and together with Treslove they share a sweetly painful evening revisiting a time before they had loved and lost. It is that very evening, when Treslove hesitates a moment as he walks home, that he is attacked - and his whole sense of who and what he is slowly and ineluctably changes.

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
Frank Bascombe has a younger girlfriend and a job as a sportswriter. To many men of his age, thirty-eight, this would be a cause for optimism, yet Frank feels the pull of his inner despair and especially of his recent losses - his preferred career has ended, his wife has divorced him, and a tragic accident took his elder son. In the course of this Easter weekend, Frank will lose all the remnants of his familiar life, though he will emerge heroic with spirits soaring. This is a magnificent novel that propelled Richard Ford into the first rank of American writers.

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
A Wonder Woman and bride-to-be finds herself worse for wear at the end of a hen night; a funeral director's love of Manchester United proves unhelpful when talking to the bereaved; two overly-vigilant mothers wrestle with their paranoia in the queue for Santa's Grotto; a widow recounts her disastrous return to the world of dating and a father realises that his son is growing away from him as he helps him tie his football boots.
In these snippets of overheard conversations from across the length and breadth of the country, Craig Taylor captures the state we're in with humour and pathos and perfect timing. Laugh-out-loud funny, and sometimes heartbreakingly moving, these tiny plays in which every one of us could have a starring role are little windows into other people's lives that reveal the triumphs, disasters, prejudices, horrors and joys of twenty-first-century life.
Hugely entertaining and utterly addictive, this is book that can be dipped into or feasted upon ...

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
Роман-предостережение, написанный инженером-химиком, заслуженным спасателем России и спасателем международного класса, участником сотен спасательных операций в стране и за рубежом.
Инженер - созидатель по определению, а если он к тому же и спасатель, то наверняка глубокое осознание гуманности профессии подкреплено в нём инженерными знаниями. Спасатель же просто обязан быть романтиком. Без этой составляющей в человеке не может быть искреннего сочувствия, сопереживания и стремления с риском для собственного здоровья или даже жизни прийти на помощь бедствующим.
И если уж романтик взялся за написание романа, то у читателя есть законное право удостовериться в том, что всё, написанное в нём, подкреплено жизнью.

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
История Елены - это история жизни девушки со сложной судьбой. Она всеми способами пытается заработать на жизнь, но тщетно. Пьющая мать, безысходность и нищета, толкают её на скользкую дорожку продажной любви - где секс за деньги, где отношения без чувств, где человека оценивают деньгами, где подлость, предательство и алчность - главные составляющие взаимоотношений между людьми. Перешагнув через себя, Елена опустится на самое дно, где она сначала будет учиться выживать, а потом, заматерев, уже начнет получать удовольствие от своей "работы"... Но в глубине души она останется той же немного наивной, доверчивой девушкой, не потеряет веру в чистые чувства, дружбу и порядочность, часто забывая о том, что в её новом мире нет ничего настоящего.
Елена всеми правдами и неправдами добивается поставленной цели: сколотив в теневом бизнесе немалое состояние, она встречает любимого и, как ей кажется, искренне любящего её мужчину. Семья, ребёнок. И вроде бы теперь есть всё для счастья. Но нет! Её мир подлых ...

The Story of the Lost Child (Europa Editions)

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
The Story of the Lost Child is the concluding volume in the dazzling saga of two women- the brilliant, bookish Elena, and the fiery, uncontainable Lila. Both are now adults, with husbands, lovers, aging parents, and children. Their friendship has been the gravitational center of their lives. Both women fought to escape the neighborhood in which they grew up-a prison of conformity, violence, and inviolable taboos. Elena married, moved to Florence, started a family, and published several well-received books. In this final novel she has returned to Naples, drawn back as if responding to the city's obscure magnetism. Lila, on the other hand, could never free herself from the city of her birth. She has become a successful entrepreneur, but her success draws her into closer proximity with the nepotism, chauvinism, and criminal violence that infect the neighborhood. Proximity to the world she has always rejected only brings her role as its unacknowledged leader into relief. For Lila is unstoppable, unmanageable ...

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
The Story of a New Name, the second book of the Neapolitan Quartet, picks up the story where My Brilliant Friend left off.
Lila has recently married and made her entree into the family business; Elena, meanwhile, continues her studies and her exploration of the world beyond the neighbourhood that she so often finds stifling. Love, jealousy, family, freedom, commitment, and above all friendship: these are signs under which both women live out this phase in their stories. Marriage appears to have imprisoned Lila, and the pressure to excel is at times too much for Elena. Yet the two young women share a complex and evolving bond that is central to their emotional lives and is a source of strength in the face of life's challenges.
In the Neapolitan Quartet, Elena Ferrante gives readers a poignant and universal story about friendship and belonging.

An unforgettable story of loneliness, isolation and finding your way. Heart-wrenching, wise and wryly funny, this novel will make you kinder to those who are lost.

Susie was seven when she realised she'd had her fill of character building. She'd lie between her Holly Hobbie sheets thinking how slowly birthdays come around, but how quickly change happened. One minute her Dad was saying that the family needed to move back to the city and then, SHAZAM, they were there. Her mum didn't move to the new house with them. And Susie hated going to see her mum at the mind hospital. She never knew who her mum would be. Or who would be there. As the years passed, there were so many things Susie wanted to say ...

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
Why do you love your child? Is it because they're a straight A student, a talented footballer? Or is it simply because they're yours?
Sarah and Phil love both their children, James and Lauren. The couple have the same hopes and aspirations as any parent. But their expectations are shattered when they discover that their perfect baby daughter has been born with a flaw; a tiny, but life-changing glitch that is destined to shape her future, and theirs, irrevocably.
Over time the family adapt and even thrive. Then one day a blood test casts doubt on the very basis of their family. Lauren is not Phil's child. Suddenly, their precious family is on the brink of destruction. But the truth they face is far more complex and challenging than simple infidelity. It tests their capacity to love, each other and their children, and it raises the question of what makes - and what breaks - a family.

A huge international bestseller, with over 2 million copies sold worldwide, Night Train to Lisbon is an utterly compelling novel about one man's escape from a humdrum life in search of passion and spontaneity.
Night Train to Lisbon tells the story of mild-mannered, middle-aged Classics scholar Raimund Gregorius. When, one afternoon, he walks out of his class while in the middle of giving a lesson, his uncharacteristic impulsiveness surprises him as much as his students. This break from his usually predictable routine is driven by two chance encounters that morning on his way to work - the first with a mysterious Portuguese woman, and the second with a book discovered in a forgotten corner of an old bookshop, the journal of an enigmatic Portuguese aristocrat. With the book as his talisman, Mundus finds himself boarding the night train to Lisbon on a journey to find out more about its author, Amadeu del Prado - who was this man whose words both haunt and compel him, seeming somehow clairvoyant ...
