Condición: Como nuevo. : En 'The Songs of the Kings', Barry Unsworth nos transporta a la antigua Grecia, donde la flota griega se encuentra atrapada en el estrecho de Aulis debido a un viento implacable. La frustración y la impotencia política se transforman en un deseo por la sangre de una joven inocente, un sacrificio para apaciguar a los dioses y permitir que las tropas zarpen. Cuando Iphigeneia, la amada hija de Agamenón, es llevada a la costa con falsos pretextos, y se forja un cuchillo con los materiales más finos, parece que los barcos pronto zarparán. Pero, ¿puede un padre realmente llegar a tales extremos para asegurar la victoria política, y puede una hija renunciar voluntariamente a su vida por las ambiciones mundanas de su padre? Unsworth presenta personajes míticos que abrazan la ética política del siglo XXI, ofreciendo una comedia oscura donde los principios chocan con los motivos personales.

Condición: Wie neu. First Imprint. Erstausgabe. 243 (5) Seiten. Jacket design: Mciael J. Windsor. Sehr guter Zustand. Frisches Exemplar. Ungelesen. "Begley writes clean, crisp, graceful prose, the kind that's always rare and ever a blessing. Also, he sets his story in a world he knows well, that of Ivy League graduates and elite law firms, of people who inhabit the Upper East Side, enjoy Manhattan's premier restaurants, patronize the ballet and opera and spend their weekends amid the pleasures of Long Island's Sag Harbor. Begley evokes this world effortlessly because he knows it inside out." Washington Post. From the master observer of upper-crust New York life comes a sly, pacey international thriller ranging from the suites of an elite Manhattan law firm to the tidy elegance of Sag Harbor and the rough and tumble western plains of Brazil. Jack Dana, a star history student at Yale with a bright future in academia, feels called to military service after 9/11. His career as a Marine infantry platoon leader is cut short by sniper fire that sends him to Walter Reed Hospital, where he begins writing a novel about his wartime experiences. Helping Jack through recovery is his uncle Harry, Jack's surrogate father and a partner in a leading New York law firm. Harry's connections secure Jack a publisher. His work is critically and commercially successful. Life after Afghanistan is falling into place, and a three-month trip to South America seems a fitting reward. But his return home is marred by shocking news: Uncle Harry is dead, hanged in his Sag Harbor summer home, clearly a suicide. Horrified and incredulous, Jack digs into the facts surrounding his uncle's death. Aided by Harry's most trusted associate, Kerry Black, and by his college friend Scott Prentice, who now works for the CIA, Jack discovers that Harry had pierced the secret of his most important client, Abner Brown, a right-wing multibillionaire notorious for backing extremist causes. The stakes and dangers are huge. Harry's death now seems anything but a suicide. Delays of law are not for Jack when it comes to avenging his uncle. He takes matters into his own hands. Louis Begley's taut, intelligent thriller takes readers from the knotty politics of New York law firms to the intimacy of life on the Long Island shore, all with his trademark wit and nuance.- Louis Begley (* als Ludwig Beglejter am 6. Oktober 1933 in Stryj, damals Polen, heute Ukraine) ist ein US-amerikanischer Schriftsteller polnisch-jüdischer Herkunft. Seit 1974 ist er in zweiter Ehe mit der Schriftstellerin und Historikerin Anka Muhlstein verheiratet. . Aus: wikipedia-Louis_Begley Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 448 21,6 x 14,7 cm.

Condición: MOLTO BUONO. New York, Nan A. Talese, Doubleday cm.17x24, pp. viii,289,(7), legatura ed. cartonata bicolore, titoli in argento al dorso, sopraccoperta fig. a colori. A stint in the army and a broken heart lead Kevin Patterson to the dock of a sailboat brokerage on Vancouver Island, where he stands contemplating the romance of the sea and his heartfelt desire to get away. By the end of the day, he finds himself the neophyte owner of a sailboat called the Sea Mouse. He also has a plan: to sail to Tahiti and back, and burn away his failings in hard miles at sea. First he recruits a traveling companion, another brokenhearted guy who at least knows how to sail. They set out like the Two Stooges-Seasick and Slapstick. Days without wind are days to kick back on the deck with a beer and a man-versus-nature adventure book that valorizes their journey into an essential quest for manhood. But eventually the voyage begins to take on a sharper edge. On a relentless beat across the South Pacific, they run across one solitary male sailor after another on the lam, not heroes but refugees. Both the literature and the reality of masculine adventure start to pall, and Patterson begins to long for home. But to get there, he faces the toughest of trials, single-handedly sailing the Sea Mouse across the North Pacific and through a four-day gale, conscious that no one on earth knows where he is or that he might die. The illusion that men are best tested by loneliness and adversity cracks in the force of the wind and the terrifying beat of the water, and The Water In Between becomes a hymn, not to running away but to heading home.
