Powieść Sensacja Fantastyka

Literatura w języku angielskim.

Akcja powieści, zbliżonej klimatem do głośnej noweli tego samego autora, Skazani na Shawshank, toczy się w Ameryce lat 30. Jej bohaterowie to więźniowie oczekujący na wykonanie kary śmierci i pilnujący ich strażnicy. Wśród przebywających w więzieniu Cold Mountain skazańców znajduje się nieobliczalny, niezwykle agresywny młodociany zabójca William Wharton; jest Eduard Delacroix, niepozorny Francuz z Luizjany, który zgwałcił, zabił młodą dziewczynę i dla zatarcia śladów spalił kolejnych sześć osób. Jest wreszcie skazany za brutalny mord na dwóch małych dziewczynkach John Coffey, zagadkowy olbrzym o wiecznie załzawionych oczach, obdarzony niezwykłą mocą. Co łączy tych ludzi? Tę zagadkę usiłuje rozwiązać główny klawisz, Paul Edgecombe, wierzący w niewinność Coffeya.

Fen McCabe, just 28, has only ever been in love with one man. To her sisters` exasperation, he`s a 19th-century sculptor called Julius Fetherstone. And as Fen starts a new job, dreaming of her hero and his missing masterpiece, her flatmates and family harbour a secret hope that she might just meet a living, breathing man instead.Matt Holden, turning 30, edits Art Matters magazine. Newly single, and determined to avoid commitment, he nevertheless finds himself rather attracted to Fen. James Caulfield, not quite 50, is forever fending off the advances of the women he gardens for in Derbyshire and forever fending off his bank manager. To improve his finances, he must sell his two small Fetherstones. And who better to advise than Fen McCabe? Is it possible to fall in love with two very different men at the same time? Sculpture, sexual attraction and severe indecision collide in Freya North`s colourful and charming novel.

Hilarious, sexy, and deeply tender, Kissing in Manhattan was one of the most celebrated debuts in recent years. Acclaimed author David Schickler’s collection of linked stories follows a troupe of love-hungry urbanites through a charmed metropolis and into the Preemption--a mythic Manhattan apartment building. The Preemption sets the stage for a romantic fantasy as exuberant, dark, and dazzling as the city it occupies. Behind closed doors, the paths of an improbable cast of tenants--a seductive perfume heiress; a crabby, misunderstood actor; a preternaturally sharp-sighted priest--tangle and cross, while a perilous love triangle builds around three characters: James Branch, a shy young accountant with an unusual love for the Preemption’s antique elevator, and a strange destiny...Patrick Rigg, a Wall Street lothario who soothes his pain by seducingbeautiful women, carrying a gun, and attending the nightly sermons of a foreboding priest...Rally McWilliams, a fetching, hopeful young writer who roams the city at night, searching for the soulmate she believes in but can’t find...Charged with joy and a deadly sense of humor, Kissing in Manhattan is a daring new writer’s vision of a world where men and women, good and evil, love and sex, meet, battle, and embrace on every street corner.

IN ONE HEARTBEAT THEIR LIVES CHANGED FOREVER. When Cecily Deravenel tells her eighteen-year-old son Edward of the death of his father, brother, uncle, and cousin in a fire, a part of Edward dies as well. Not only is he too young to shoulder the responsibility for an entire family, Edward is also suspicious of the deaths. So he vows to seek the truth. Avenge the deaths. And retake control of their global business empire. IN ONE MOMENT, AMBITION AND REVENGE ARE BORN. As he grows into a handsome, charismatic man, Edward is torn between duty and desire. There are women in his life for whom he`ll risk everything-and one woman who might destroy him. But madness and secrecy lie at the heart of the family, and Edward`s enemies are far more ruthless than he knows. He will need his strength more than ever when the house of Deravenel is fatally rocked by betrayal from within. Who will become the ultimate ruler of the Deravenels?

Oliver Watson’s world suddenly dissolves around him when Sarah, his wife of eighteen years, returns to Harvard to get her master’s degree. Oliver is left on his own, with three children and a freedom he never wanted and doesn’t completely understand. His family’s needs and demands suddenly consume his life. When Oliver’s mother is diagnosed as having Alzheimer’s disease and dies soon thereafter, Oliver’s father’s life is changed as well. Braver than his son with less of a future before him, George Watson, at seventy-two, quickly embraces new relationships and, eventually, a new life. The sudden changes come as a shock to both father and son. Ben, Oliver’s oldest son, rejects his father and reaches outward, under the illusion that he is grown-up and can make it on his own. Melissa, the middle child, blames Oliver for her mother’s desertion. And Sam, the “baby," is too shaken to deal with it at all. Now the only parent, Daddy must somehow cope this, his troubled family and explore a world of new responsibilities, new women, and new experiences. Each of the three men must start a new life: Oliver in New York and then in Los Angeles with his children; once he faces the biggest change in his life; his widowed father with the woman next door; and seventeen-year-old Ben with his girlfriend and baby. Nothing is as it was before. nothing is as they once thought it would be. But in the end, different is better. different is more. for each of them-and especially for “Daddy."

Wings is the story of a young woman who fights all the odds to fulfil her dreams. From her family`s dusty farmland airstrip near Chicago, Cassie O`Malley would look at the planes shimmering in the moonlight and feel the pull of taking to the skies. Her First World War veteran father Pat wanted his son to be a pilot, not his reckless red-haired daughter. But her father`s partner Nick, fellow air ace and airborne daredevil, was willing to break all the rules and teach her to fly. When Cassie is invited to California to become a test pilot, her record-breaking flights soon make her a media darling. Risking her life, pushing herself to her limits, in a world preparing for the Second World War, she decides to chart her own course and pursue her own destiny, whatever it might cost her.
