"Дитя Божье" Кормака Маккарти, автора признанной критиками пограничной трилогии, - это напряженный, леденящий душу роман, в котором раскрываются глубины человеческой деградации. Лестер Баллард, жестокий, одинокий и замкнутый молодой житель лесной глуши, лишенный земли своих предков, освобожден из тюрьмы и ему позволено бродить по холмистой местности Восточного Теннесси. Маккарти превращает банальные столкновения с людьми - на фермах, в магазинах и в лесу - в потрясающие сцены комизма и гротеска, и по мере того, как история стремительно приближается к своему незабываемому завершению, изображает самые отвратительные аспекты жизни с достоинством, юмором и характерным лирическим блеском • Книга на английском языке • By Cormac McCarthy, the author of the critically acclaimed Border Trilogy, Child of God is a taut, chilling novel that plumbs the depths of human degradation

Revolution, the fourth volume of Peter Ackroyd's enthralling History of England begins in 1688 with a revolution and ends in 1815 with a famous victory • In it, Ackroyd takes readers from William of Orange's accession following the Glorious Revolution to the Regency, when the flamboyant Prince of Wales ruled in the stead of his mad father, George III, and England was - again -at war with France, a war that would end with the defeat of Napoleon at Waterloo • Late Stuart and Georgian England marked the creation of the great pillars of the English state. The Bank of England was founded, as was the stock exchange, the Church of England was fully established as the guardian of the spiritual life of the nation and parliament became the sovereign body of the nation with responsibilities and duties far beyond those of the monarch

The penultimate volume of Peter Ackroyd’s masterful History of England series, Dominion begins in 1815 as national glory following the Battle of Waterloo gives way to post-war depression, spanning the last years of the Regency to the death of Queen Victoria in January 1901. In it, Ackroyd takes us from the accession of the profligate George IV whose government was steered by Lord Liverpool, who was firmly set against reform, to the reign of his brother, William IV, the 'Sailor King', whose reign saw the modernization of the political system and the abolition of slavery. But it was the accession of Queen Victoria, aged only eighteen, that sparked an era of enormous innovation. Technological progress – from steam railways to the first telegram – swept the nation and the finest inventions were showcased at the first Great Exhibition in 1851
