În ghearele câinilor

În ghearele câinilor

Situat în decorul întinderilor vaste din Vestul Statelor Unite, În ghearele câinilor este o poveste uimitoare despre tirania domestică, masculinitatea brutală și despre sfidarea cutremurătoare, spusă de una dintre cele mai puternice și distinctive voci din literatura americană. O dramă despre doi frați – unul, atrăgător, dar crud, și celălalt, blând și liniștit – și despre o femeie și fiul ei, a căror sosire în ferma de vite a celor doi spulberă o pace deja tensionată. De la primul paragraf șocant până la ultimul cuvânt al romanului, cititorul este fascinat de stilul lui Thomas Savage, precum și de cruzimea și înflăcărarea personajelor sale.„Thomas Savage este un scriitor cu greutate... un romancier desăvârșit.” Jonathan Yardley, Washington Post Book World„O evocare perfectă a epocii și a locurilor… Savage este un maestru al tehnicii narative.” Amanda Heller, Boston Globe„Savage scrie ca tunetul și fulgerul… Unele cărți sunt ca straturile acvifere de sub deșert, care așteaptă răbdătoare și apar pe neașteptate ca izvoare, când avem mai mare nevoie de ele!” Susan Salter Reynolds, Los Angeles Times„În ghearele câinilor oferă atâtea motive de încântare, încât nu-i putem învinovăți pe cititori dacă nu observă de îndată că abordează și teme majore, ca dinamica familiei, dragostea în varietatea ei și etosul Vestului american. Pe scurt, În ghearele câinilor este o capodoperă.” Larry Watson, autorul romanelor Montana 1948 și Justic

Adevarul despre martieni

Mylo și prietenii săi pleacă să cerceteze rămășițele unei farfurii zburătoare care s-a prăbușit aproape de Roswell, în New Mexico. Până atunci, el credea că marțienii există doar în benzile desenate cu supereroi. Când din interiorul navei aude strigătul de ajutor al unei ființe extraterestre, Mylo decide că trebuie să fie la fel de curajos precum fratele său, răpus de o boală gravă cu un an înainte. Lucrurile pe care le descoperă de-a lungul acestei aventuri îi întăresc încrederea că prietenia este cel mai important lucru din univers.

The Treaty of Trianon. The Fundamental Legal Instrument that Underlies the Great Union

The Treaty of Trianon. The Fundamental Legal Instrument that Underlies the Great Union

Based on one of the fundamental principles of International Law - pacta sunt servanda, the Treaty of Trianon constitutes an imperative act - imperium, of an indisputable legal and moral value that cannot be ignored; it flows logically and sacredly from justice and the equity which must be the foundation of all mankind, and which must naturally and firmly be respected and properly applied by everyone. Consequently, that long-awaited cessation and removal forever of the secular cruelty and savage oppression to which the Romanians in Transylvania were subjected, was fulfilled through this Treaty. This justified and inexorable act of justice, the Treaty of Trianon, through which a centuries-old historical reality was placed in its matrix, must be known, respected and applied bona fide

Clem, a backwoods assistant healer known for her new-fangled cures, just wants to help people. When Mariel's ramshackle band kidnap Clem as retribution for her guardian helping the Sheriff of Nottingham, all seems to be going (sort of) to plan … until Jack Hartley, Mariel’s father and Commander of the Merry Men, is captured in a deadly ambush.
