Grady beautiful, rich, flame-haired, defiant is the sort of girl people stare at across a room. The daughter of an important man, who people want to be introduced to.

And excitement comes in the form of the highly unsuitable Clyde, a Brooklyn-born, Jewish parking attendant. When Grady's parents leave her alone for the first time in their New York penthouse one summer, their secret affair intensifies. As a heat wave envelops the city, Grady gets in deeper and deeper and cares less about the consequences. Soon, though, she will be forced to make decisions choices that will forever affect her future once the long, sultry summer comes to an end.

POPism: The Warhol Sixties
Автор: Andy Warhol Жанр: Penguin Group Издательство: Penguin Group Год: 2008 Страниц: 416 Дата загрузки: 05 июня 20102009-06-11

A cultural storm swept through the 1960s — Pop Art, Bob Dylan, psychedelia, underground movies — and at its centre sat a bemused young artist with silver hair: Andy Warhol. Andy knew everybody (from the cultural commissioner of New York to drug-driven drag queens) and everybody knew Andy. His studio, the Factory, was the place: where he created the large canvases of soup cans and Pop icons that defined Pop Art, where one could listen to the Velvet Underground and rub elbows with Edie Sedgwick and where Warhol himself could observe the comings and goings of the avant-guarde.

Steven Levitt, the original rogue economist, and Stephen Dubner have spent four years uncovering the hidden side of even more controversial subjects, from terrorism to shark attacks, cable TV to hurricanes. The result is Superfreakonomics. It reveals, among other things: why you are more likely to be killed walking drunk than driving drunk; how a prostitute is more likely to sleep with a policeman than be arrested by one; why terrorists might be easier to track down than you would imagine; and, how a sex change could boost your salary. Because sometimes the most superfreaky solution is the simplest.

From Russia with Love
Автор: Ian Fleming Жанр: Penguin Group Издательство: Penguin Group Год: 2010 Страниц: 272 Дата загрузки: 28 июня 20122012-10-07
|

Bond does not himself feature until quite late in this novel — the opening chapters, one of Fleming's most amazing fantasies, creates the nightmare world of SMERSH — the Russian counter-spy organisation, its sickeningly foul section head Rosa Klebb and her top assassin Grant. When the action shifts to Istanbul and Klebb's plot to destroy the unsuspecting Bond one of the most brilliant chase sequences in fiction (unrivalled even by Buchan or Greene) unfolds. One of the defining books of the Cold War (and one of President Kennedy's favourite books) From Russia with Love is perhaps even more enjoyable to read now than when it first became a huge international bestseller.

M looked coldly across the desk. It was going to be dirty work and Bond, because he belonged to the Double 0 section, had been chosen for it. 'You've got to kill this sniper. And you've got to kill him before he gets Agent 272. Is that understood? So, it was to be murder.

Howl, Kaddish and Other Poems
Автор: Allen Ginsberg Жанр: Penguin Group Издательство: Penguin Group Год: 2013 Страниц: 128 Дата загрузки: 21 июля 20142015-05-22

Beat movement icon and visionary poet, Allen Ginsberg broke boundaries with his fearless, pyrotechnic verse. This new collection brings together the famous poems that made his name as a defining figure of the counterculture. They include the apocalyptic Howl, which became the subject of an obscenity trial when it was first published in 1956; the moving lament for his dead mother, Kaddish; the searing indictment of his homeland, America; and the confessional Mescaline. Dark, ecstatic and rhapsodic, they show why Ginsberg was one of the most influential poets of the twentieth century.

The Scent of Dried Roses
Автор: Tim Lott Жанр: Penguin Group Издательство: Penguin Group Год: 2009 Страниц: 304 Дата загрузки: 7 декабря 20112012-09-14
|
|
Tim Lott's parents, Jack and Jean, met at the Empire Snooker Hall, Ealing, in 1951, in a world that to him now seems 'as strange as China'. In this extraordinarily moving exploration of his parents' lives, his mother's inexplicable suicide in her late fifties and his own bouts of depression, Tim Lott conjures up the pebble-dashed home of his childhood and the rapidly changing landscape of postwar suburban England. It is a story of grief, loss and dislocation, yet also of the power of memory and the bonds of family love.
