Set in an era of intoxicating excitement and ruinous excess, changing manners and challenged morals, F. Scott Fitzgerald`s second novel chronicles the lives of Harvard-educated Anthony Patch and his beautiful, willful wife, Gloria. This bitingly ironic story eerily foretells the fate of the author and his own wife, Zelda-from its giddy romantic beginnings to its alcohol-fueled end. A portrait of greed, ambition, and squandered talent, The Beautiful and Damned depicts America embarked on the greatest spree in its history, a world Fitzgerald saw, according to Tobias Wolff, "with clearer eyes than any of his contemporaries. Формат: 10,5 см x 17,5 см.

The Red Army had much to avenge when it finally reached the frontiers of the Reich in January 1945. Political instructors rammed home the message of Wehrmacht and SS brutality. The result was the most terrifying example of fire and sword ever known, with tanks crushing refugee columns under their tracks, mass rape, pillage and destruction. Hundreds of thousands of women and children froze to death or were massacred because Nazi Party chiefs, refusing to face defeat, had forbidden the evacuation of civilians. Over seven million fled westwards from the terror of the Red Army. Antony Beevor reconstructs the experiences of those millions caught up in the nightmare of the Third Reich`s final collapse, telling a terrible story of pride,...

When it first published in 1958, Rona Jaffe`s debut novel electrified readers who saw themselves reflected in its story of five young employees of a New York publishing company. There`s Ivy League Caroline, who dreams of graduating from the typing pool to an editor`s office; naive country girl April, who within months of hitting town reinvents herself as the woman every man wants on his arm; Gregg, the free-spirited actress with a secret yearning for domesticity. Now a classic, and as page-turning as when it first came out, The Best of Everything portrays their lives and passions with inteligence, affection, and prose as sharp as a paper cut.

This acclaimed book by Steven Pinker, author of The Language Instinct and The Blank Slate, argues that, contrary to popular belief, humankind has become progressively less violent, over millenia and decades. Can violence really have declined? The images of conflict we see daily on our screens from around the world suggest this is an almost obscene claim to be making. Extraordinarily, however, Steven Pinker shows violence within and between societies - both murder and warfare - really has declined from prehistory to today. We are much less likely to die at someone else`s hands than ever before. Even the horrific carnage of the last century, when compared to the dangers of pre-state societies, is part of this trend. Debunking both the idea...

In the wake of 9/11, Hurricane Katrina, the quagmire in Iraq, and other apparently unexpected disasters, it seems reasonable to wonder about our stunted powers of prediction. Couldn`t we have foreseen these debacles and others and taken steps to avoid them? Informed skeptic and former Wall Street trader Nassim Nicholas Taleb very much doubts it, and in this arresting meditation on our wrongheaded beliefs about what is and isn`t likely - he draws his title from the illogical assumption that all swans are white - he explores how and why we`re wired to get the future wrong. You may be put off by Taleb`s discursiveness and, ironically, his smug certainty about our incurable "epistemic arrogance"; but in the face of his deeply considered...
