Shortlisted for the Whitbread First Novel Award, Richard Collins' novel was described by the Whitbread panel as "a dark-hearted love story... a gripping tale that unfolds with immense narrative skill." Two friends work together on a smallholding: one allows the other to read the novel he is writing, 'The Land as Viewed from the Sea'.

Between extremes

Spisovatel: Keenan Brian, McCarthy John, Black swan 2000
Katalogové číslo: L698

For four years, Brian Keenan and John McCarthy were incarcerated in a Lebanese dungeon.

Between Extremes is the story of that journey... v angličtine, brožovaná, 393 strán

The Knave of Diamonds

Spisovatel: Dell Ethel M., LP 1974
Katalogové číslo: H540

1912. Dell, British writer, began writing at a young age. Most of her stories were stories of passion and love set in India and other British colonial possessions. "The Knave of Diamonds begins": There came a sudden blare of music from the great ballroom below, and the woman who stood alone at an open window on the first floor shrugged her shoulders and shivered a little. The night air blew in brisk and cold upon her uncovered neck, but except for that slight, involuntary shiver she scarcely seemed aware of it. The room behind her was brilliantly lighted but empty. Some tables had been set for cards, but the cards were untouched. Either the attractions of the ballroom had remained omnipotent, or no one had penetrated to this refuge of the bored - no one save this tall and stately woman robed in shimmering, iridescent green, who stood with her face to the night, breathing the chill air as one who had been on the verge of suffocation. It was evidently she who had flung up the window. Her gloved hands leaned upon the woodwork on each side of it. There was a certain constraint in her whole attitude, a tension that was subtly evident in every graceful line.... v angličtine, tvrdá väzba, bez obalu, väčší formát, 580 strán
