Harpercollins Quantum of Tweed: The Man with Nissan Micra Иггульден Конн

The story of one of the most brutal battles in modern history - fought at a major turning point of the Second World War • Kohima. In this remote Indian village near the border with Burma, a tiny force of British and Indian troops faced the might of the Imperial Japanese Army. Outnumbered ten to one, the defenders fought the Japanese hand to hand in a battle that was amongst the most savage in modern warfare • A garrison of no more than 1,500 fighting men, desperately short of water and with the wounded compelled to lie in the open, faced a force of 15,000 Japanese. They held the pass and prevented a Japanese victory that would have proved disastrous for the British. Another six weeks of bitter fighting followed as British and Indian reinforcements strove to drive the enemy out of India

Following on from his epic ‘1812: Napoleon's Fatal March on Moscow’, bestselling author Adam Zamoyski has written the dramatic story of the Congress of Vienna • In the wake of his disastrous Russian campaign of 1812, Napoleon's imperious grip on Europe began to weaken, raising the question of how the Continent was to be reconstructed after his defeat. There were many who dreamed of a peace to end all wars, in which the interests of peoples as well as those of rulers would be taken into account. But what followed was an unseemly and at times brutal scramble for territory by the most powerful states, in which countries were traded as if they had been private and their inhabitants counted like cattle • The results, fixed at the Congress of Vienna in 1815, not only laid the foundations of the European world we know; it put in place a social order and a security system that lie at the root of many of the problems which dog the world today

Legendary jockey, Frankie Dettori, shares his remarkable life story in this astonishingly intimate autobiography • When Lanfranco ‘Frankie’ Dettori arrived on British shores in 1985, aged just 14, he couldn’t speak a word of English. Having left school just a year earlier and following in the footsteps of his father, he was eager to become a stable boy and apprentice jockey, willing to do everything it took to make it. This was his first, but certainly not his last, leap of faith • Despite his slight size, Frankie’s impact upon the British racing scene was immediate and significant. Brimming with confidence, charisma and personality, and with what was clearly a precocious talent, in 1990 he became the first teenager since Lester Piggot to win over 100 races in a single season

«Левша на обе ноги» – сборник ранних рассказов П. Г. Вудхауса, впервые опубликованный в 1917 году. Он наглядно демонстрирует, как будущий классик юмористической литературы оттачивал своё мастерство и набирался опыта. Герои этих историй – говорящая собака, частный детектив, который хочет стать актёром, не умеющий танцевать банковский служащий, скверно выглядящий полицейский, помешавшийся на бейсболе бизнесмен и чёрная кошка. Внимание большинства читателей, скорее всего, привлечёт рассказ «Спасение Гасси», в котором впервые появляется камердинер Дживс, пусть и не в качестве главного героя. Как и сам Вудхаус, его наниматель, Берти (тётушка Агата у него на тот момент была, а вот фамилии не было) ещё не успел оценить способности своего слуги. Но во всех произведениях, вошедших в книгу, просматривается гений великого писателя
