Penguin Berlin Setton Bea

When Daphne Ferber arrives in Berlin for a fresh start in a thrilling new city, the last thing she expects is to run into more drama than she left behind • Of course, she knew she'd need to do the usual: make friends, acquire lovers, grapple with German and a whole new way of life. She even expected the long nights gorging alone on family-sized jars of Nutella, and the pitfalls of online dating in another language. The paranoia, the second-guessing of her every choice, the covert behaviours? Probably come with the territory • But one night, something strange, dangerous and entirely unexpected intervenes, and life in bohemian Kreuzberg suddenly doesn't seem so cool • Just how much trouble is Daphne in, and who - or what - is out to get her? • Channelling the modern female experience with razor-sharp observation and witty flair, Berlin announces Bea Setton as an electrifying literary voice for her generation

The great novel of 1920s Berlin life, in a superb new translation by Michael Hofmann • Franz Biberkopf is back on the streets of Berlin. Determined to go straight after a stint in prison, he finds himself thwarted by an unpredictable external agency that looks an awful lot like fate. Cheated, humiliated, thrown from a moving car; embroiled in an underworld of pimps, thugs, drunks and prostitutes, Franz picks himself up over and over again - until one day he is struck a monstrous blow which might just prove his final downfall • A dazzling collage of newspaper reports, Biblical stories, drinking songs and urban slang, Berlin Alexanderplatz is the great novel of Berlin life: inventing, styling and recreating the city as reality and dream; mimicking its movements and rhythms; immortalizing its pubs, abattoirs, apartments and chaotic streets

One of the first bestsellers in Germany after the Second World War, Berlin Finale is a breathtaking novel of resistance set against the downfall of the Third Reich • April 1945, the last days of the Nazi regime. While bombs are falling on Berlin, the Gestapo still search for traitors, resistance fighters and deserters. People mistrust each other more than ever. In the midst of chaos, a disparate group - a disillusioned young soldier; a trade unionist and saboteur; a doctor helping refugees - continues to fight back. And in Oskar Klose's pub, the resistance plan their next move, hunted at every step by the SS. Published in the immediate aftermath of the Second World War, Berlin Finale is an unforgettable portrait of life in a city devastated by war

Опытный агент Бернард Сэмсон привык к тому, что его не продвигают по службе, в то время как его более молодые и амбициозные коллеги, включая его собственную жену Фиону, поднимаются по служебной лестнице МИ-6. Когда ценный агент в Восточном Берлине предупреждает британцев о "кроте" в сердце службы, Самсон должен вернуться на поле боя и в город, который он любит, чтобы раскрыть личность предателя • "Берлинская игра" - это первый роман из знаменитой трилогии Лена Дейтона "Игра, декорации и матч" • Книга на английском языке • Embattled agent Bernard Samson is used to being passed over for promotion as his younger, more ambitious colleagues - including his own wife Fiona - rise up the ranks of MI6. When a valued agent in East Berlin warns the British of a mole at the heart of the Service, Samson must return to the field and the city he loves to uncover the traitor's identity

На протяжении всего XX века Берлин находился в самом центре стремительно меняющегося мира. Разные эпизоды из его истории принято рассматривать в отрыве друг от друга. Город, прошедший через страдания Первой мировой войны; космополитический центр науки, культуры и свободы; столица страны, переживающей резкий экономический спад; заставшая приход нацистов к власти, ужасы и разрушения Второй мировой войны и геноцид; город, разделенный надвое двумя конкурирующими идеологиями. Все эти эпохи сменяли друг друга, но жители Берлина просто продолжали жить – или выживать – так же, как и раньше. Подлинную историю немецкой столицы расскажут не правители, а те, кто ходил по ее улицам • В своей книге Berlin. Life and Loss in the City That Shaped the Century историк и автор бестселлеров Синклер Маккей проливает свет на жизни самых известных обитателей города, от ученого-идеалиста Альберта Эйнштейна до нацистского архитектора Альберта Шпеера, используя рассказы очевидцев
