ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
After seventeen years, Brenda Cryer returns to the tiny Lancashire village of Parson's Fold with a shadowy past and a mysterious fortune. Shortly afterwards she is shot dead, and the one possible witness - her invalid mother - is missing…
The only man available for the job is the notoriously slow and old-fashioned Inspector Mosley, but this case is a radical departure for a man more used to locating missing geese than tracking down a coldblooded killer. And it doesn't help that Mosley refuses to use forensics or computers, preferring to trust 'intuition' and a network of gossips, busybodies and village idlers to get to the bottom of things.
Luckily, high-flying Sergeant Beamish - fresh out of the police academy and nursing a penchant for technology - has been tasked to keep an eye on the unpredictable Mosley. Keen to establish the superiority of his methods, Beamish sets out to solve the mystery by himself but somehow the grubby, balding and rumpled Mosley is alwa ...

Liar's Poker (Hodder & Stoughton)

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
The time was the 1980s. The place was Wall Street. The game was called Liar's Poker.
Michael Lewis was fresh out of Princeton and the London School of Economics when he landed a job at Salomon Brothers, one of Wall Street's premier investment firms. During the next three years, Lewis rose from callow trainee to bond salesman, raking in millions for the firm and cashing in on a modern-day gold rush.
From mere trainee to lowly geek, to triumphal Big Swinging Dick: that was Michael Lewis's pell-mell progress through the dealing rooms of Salomon Brothers in New York and London during the heady mid-80s when they were probably the world's most powerful and profitable merchant bank.
Funny, frightening, breathless and heartless, Liar's Poker is the original story of hysterical greed and excessive ambition, one that is now more potent and enthralling than ever.

Обрыв (Время)

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
"Обрыв" (1869) - завершающий роман трилогии, которую И. А. Гончаров (1812-1891) воспринимал как единое целое. "Двадцать лет тянулось писание этого романа, - иначе и быть не могло. Он писался, как тянулся период самой жизни", - так отозвался автор об "Обрыве", подводя итоги своей творческой деятельности. Герой романа художник Райский - артистическая натура, стремящаяся реализовать свой идеал в произведениях искусства. Но проблема у него вполне "обломовская" - неспособность согласовать идеал и действительность, отделить собственную жизнь от искусства. Для Гончарова это - опасный симптом болезни русского общества, так и не сумевшего освоиться в бурной эпохе политических и экономических реформ. Критика встретила "Обрыв" прохладно. "Неловким и несвоевременным подвигом" назвал его Салтыков-Щедрин. Насчет несвоевременности он, пожалуй, оказался прав: даже самой литературной формой - "матрешкой" (роман автора о том, как его герой пытается написать

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
Жил-был отец. И было у него три сына. Даже, по слухам, четыре. Один верил в Бога, другой - в черта, третий верил в Бога, но жил черт знает как, а четвертый был уверен, что если Бога нет, то все позволено. Четыре кредо, четыре жизненных стратегии. С тех пор прошло почти полтора столетия - до неузнаваемости изменился мир, но человек остался прежним. Он, как и прежде, ищет ответ не только на вопрос "быть или не быть?", но и на вопрос "с кем быть?". И в этом смысле нет в ХХI веке для юноши, обдумывающего житье, чтения более душеспасительного, чем "Братья Карамазовы" Федора Михайловича Достоевского (1821-1881). Очень важно прочесть эту книгу вовремя, до тридцати, и определиться, с кем из братьев тебе по пути. И, возможно, кто-нибудь из новых читателей, перевернув последнюю страницу великого романа, воскликнет, как знаменитый русский живописец Иван Крамской: "Ну, если и после этого мир не перевернется на оси туда, куда желает художник, то умирай человеческое сердце!"

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
Anthony Trollope's The Warden is the first of his well-loved Chronicles of Barsetshire, edited with an introduction and notes by Robin Gilmour in Penguin Classics.
The tranquil atmosphere of the cathedral town of Barchester is shattered when a scandal breaks concerning the financial affairs of a Church-run almshouse for elderly men. In the ensuing furore, Septimus Harding, the almshouse's well-meaning warden, finds himself pitted against his daughter's suitor Dr John Bold, a zealous local reformer. Matters are not improved when Harding's abrasive son-in law, Archdeacon Grantly, leaps into the fray to defend him against a campaign Bold begins in the national press. An affectionate and wittily satirical view of the workings of the Church of England, The Warden is also a subtle exploration of the rights and wrongs of moral crusades and, in its account of Harding's intensely felt personal drama, a moving depiction of the private impact of public affairs.
