THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER
'That most rare and coveted of literary feats: a popular novel of serious merit, a bestseller that will also endure.' Observer
'Triumph ...the sense of nostalgia is visceral and intense, almost time-bending.'The Sunday Times
'Pitch perfect ... Exquisite ... Terrific ...
Very funny ... Though Sweet Sorrow is certainly pulse-quickening enough to absorb readers through this summer's airport delays and rained-off beach days, it's no escapist fantasy. The tale of Charlie and Fran will linger long beyond your tan.'Telegraph
One life-changing summer Charlie meets Fran...
In 1997, Charlie Lewis is the kind of boy you don't remember in the school photograph.
His exams have not gone well. At home he is looking after his father, when surely it should be the other way round, and if he thinks about the future at all, it is with a kind of dread.
Then Fran Fisher bursts into his life and despite himself, Charlie begins to hope.
But if Charlie wants to be with Fran, he must take on a challenge that could lose him the respect of his friends and require him to become a different person. He must join the Company.
And if the Company sounds like a cult, the truth is even more appalling.
The price of hope, it seems, is Shakespeare.
Poignant, funny, enchanting, devastating, Sweet Sorrow is a tragicomedy about the rocky path to adulthood and the confusion of family life, a celebration of the reviving power of friendship and that brief, searing explosion of first love that can only be looked at directly after it has burned out.
'A compassionate, intelligent look at the raw pain and loneliness of a teenage boy, the everyday miracle of first love and the perennial power of Shakespeare's language.' Spectator
'A superbly written, beautifully observed account of teenage life, love, family dysfunction and friendship, which builds to a stunningly poignant ending.' Heat
'The author of Us and of course One Day has never written with more tenderness and insight than in this bittersweet story ... perfectly captures the dizzying highs and lows of first love.' Daily Express
'Such a beautiful book. Captures perfectly a moment in time we've all experienced.' Graham Norton

Автор: Graeme Davison, Renate Howe, David Nicholls Название: Trendyville: The Battle for Australias Inner Cities ISBN: 1921867426 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781921867422 Издательство: Gazelle Book Services Рейтинг: Цена: 34310.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: Australias inner cities experienced an upheaval in the 1960s and 70s which left them changed forever. People from all walks of life who valued their suburbs places like Balmain, Battery Point, Carlton, Indooropilly, North Adelaide or Subiaco resisted large-scale development projects for freeways, slum clearance and mass-produced high-rise. Unlikely alliances of post-war migrants, university students and staff, construction workers and their unions, long-term residents and city workers, challenged land-grabs and inappropriate development. When the dust settled, Australian cities were different. Many suburbs kept their village qualities. Shopping strips were revived and cultures celebrated. While areas like Fitzroy or Redcliff were derided as Trendyville, the fate many American cities suffered a hollow core had been avoided. In the process, heritage conservation, party politics, and Australian assumptions about domestic life, education and lifestyle had all been transformed. This book is an in-depth examination of the causes and consequences of urban protest in a democracy. It shows how it changed the built environment as well as its participants, and resonated in many of our institutions including politics, media and multiculturalism.
Автор: Nicholls, Bruce Название: Dongfeng deception ISBN: 1788302877 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781788302876 Издательство: Неизвестно Рейтинг: Цена: 15630.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание:
'A curious word, Dongfeng, the Mandarin for East Wind. It was a clever name for a missile that would send a chill wind from China's Forbidden City to the halls of the White House, with forces on both sides scrambling to heightened military alert.' In the final days of the Cold War, a Russian agent is tortured for information and left for dead. An ambitious young American ensures that the intelligence he has extracted is used to give him his big break. Thirty-five years later, Charles Ritter is smugly satisfied with his new role as Deputy Director of the CIA. But Anatoly Pushkin, having survived his ordeal and himself having risen to become the Russian Security Chief, is out for revenge - both on Ritter personally and on the United States. His plan - to mastermind a deception, which could well be the catalyst for a nuclear confrontation with China. If the Dongfeng deception achieved that outcome, a largely innocent world would pay a high price. In this truly gripping political thriller, fiction mimics reality. The author exploits the chilling reality that the US has created a 'Space Force', a new battle-front in space, and that five European and Asian powers now possess Electromagnetic Pulse Weapons, classified by the UN as Weapons of Mass Destruction.

In 1931, a 12-year-old boy shot and killed the sheriff of Asotin, Washington. The incident stunned the small town and a mob threatened to hang him. Both the crime and Herbert Niccolls's eventual sentence of life imprisonment at the Washington State Penitentiary in Walla Walla drew national attention, only to be buried later in local archives.
Journalist Nancy Bartley has conducted extensive research to construct a compelling narrative of the events and characters that make this a unique episode in the history of criminal justice in the United States. Niccolls became a cause for Father Flanagan of Boys Town,who took to the airwaves, imploring listeners to write Governor Hartley on the boy's behalf. The bitter campaign put Hartley in such a negative light that he lost his bid for reelection. Under a new and progressive warden, Niccolls thrived in prison. Inmates like physician Peter Miller and literary agent James Ashe became his tutors, finding that Niccolls had an insatiable appetite for knowledge. During the deadly 1934 prison riot at Walla Walla, several prisoners kept him from harm.
Niccolls was finally released from prison in his early twenties. He went to work at 20th Century Fox in Hollywood, where he kept his secret for the rest of his long life. The Boy Who Shot the Sheriff explores this little-known story of a young boy's fate in the juvenile justice system during the bloodiest years in the nation's penitentiaries.
