Описание: By mid-1942 the Allies were losing the Mediterranean war: Malta was isolated and its civilian population faced starvation. In June 1942 the British Royal Navy made a stupendous effort to break the Axis stranglehold. The British dispatched armed convoys from Gibraltar and Egypt toward Malta. In a complex battle lasting more than a week, Italian and German forces defeated Operation Vigorous, the larger eastern effort, and ravaged the western convoy, Operation Harpoon, in a series of air, submarine, and surface attacks culminating in the Battle of Pantelleria. Just two of seventeen merchant ships that set out for Malta reached their destination. In Passage Perilous presents a detailed description of the operations and assesses the actual impact Malta had on the fight to deny supplies to Rommel's army in North Africa. The book's discussion of the battle's operational aspects highlights the complex relationships between air and naval power and the influence of geography on littoral operations.

Описание: Writing with equal insight about New York City, Hollywood, and the small-town Pennsylvania world where he grew up, John O'Hara cultivated an unsentimental and often unsparing realism, aiming, he said, "to record the way people talked and thought and felt . . . with complete honesty." Praised by contemporaries including Ernest Hemingway and Dorothy Parker, he wrote about sex, drinking, and social class with a frankness ahead of its time. The fiction he published in The New Yorker (more than any other writer to this day) came to epitomize the kind of short story featured in that magazine, and his impeccable ear and skillful dialogue have influenced later writers such as Raymond Carver. Bringing together sixty stories written over four decades--the largest, most comprehensive collection of O'Hara's stories ever published--former New York Times Book Review editor Charles McGrath presents a fresh and arresting new perspective on one of American literature's master storytellers. LIBRARY OF AMERICA is an independent nonprofit cultural organization founded in 1979 to preserve our nation's literary heritage by publishing, and keeping permanently in print, America's best and most significant writing. The Library of America series includes more than 300 volumes to date, authoritative editions that average 1,000 pages in length, feature cloth covers, sewn bindings, and ribbon markers, and are printed on premium acid-free paper that will last for centuries.

Автор: O`Hara John Название: John O`Hara: Four Novels of the 1930s (Loa #313): Appointment in Samarra / Butterfield 8 / Hope of Heaven / Pal Joey ISBN: 1598536001 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781598536003 Издательство: Random House (USA) Цена: 24520.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: In one volume, four novels by "the real Fitzgerald": scintillating, sexually frank tales of the desperate pursuit of pleasure and status in Jazz Age America The early novels of John O'Hara, like those of Hemingway and Fitzgerald, dramatize the longings and dashed hopes of a lost generation, seduced and betrayed by the glittering temptations of the modern age. Appointment in Samarra (1934), O'Hara's brilliant debut, is a briskly paced story of one man's self-sabotage and a tour de force of closely observed, unsparing social portraiture. The life of the car dealer Julian English unravels with stunning swiftness after he throws a drink in another man's face at the country club in O'Hara's fictional town of Gibbsville. Butterfield 8 (1935), based on the notorious case of the drowned socialite Starr Faithfull, explores the speakeasy world of a hedonistic Manhattan through a damaged and volatile heroine whose frank portrayal scandalized many of the book's early readers. Hope of Heaven (1938), one of O'Hara's favorites among his works, shifts the scene to Los Angeles to tell the noirish tale of a relationship between Peggy Henderson, a pretty young leftist working at a bookstore, and O'Hara's alter ego Jim Malloy. And in Pal Joey (1940), the basis for an enduring Rodgers & Hart musical, O'Hara created one of his most memorable characters, a sleazy, cynical nightclub emcee whose wised-up talk highlights O'Hara's matchless ear for American speech. As Dorothy Parker once remarked, "O'Hara's eyes and ears have been spared nothing."

Desperate to put some distance between herself and New York City and to recover from a freak bicycle crash, NYPD Detective Alex Sullivan flees to Albuquerque. As soon as the wheels of her plane touch down, the bodies begin to drop.
Far from the sanctuary she was seeking, Alex finds herself isolated in a hot, desolate landscape surrounded by scorpions, rattlers and all things venomous. Under the ferocious sun of New Mexico's endless deserts, Alex is tested by the hellfire of a sinister cult and her head injury makes chasing bad guys a high-risk gamble. How in the world will she survive the heat?
Alex Sullivan, NYPD Homicide Detective, was first introduced in One Hand Killing and returns here in Killing Sacred to continue her battle with demons: both the ones within and the ones that find her on whatever mean street she's walking.
