Загадочная гибель богатого аристократа Генри Айрленда... Несчастный случай? Нет. Убийство. И чтобы расследовать это убийство, надо быть гением сыска... или по крайней мере капитаном полиции Мактурком. Ему единственному удается понять, что смерть Айрленда - лишь одно из звеньев в цепи множества преступлений, краж, похищений и шантажа - цепи, протянувшейся от Шотландского нагорья до Франции. Куда приведет Мактурка следующий поворот расследования? В провинциальную глубинку? В гостиные представителей высшего света? Или на самое дно Лондона? Не важно - ведь опасность подстерегает его на каждом шагу...

Orwell. The New Life Д. Дж. Тейлор
ISBN: 9781472132963 Год издания: 2023 Издательство: Constable The definitive biography of one of the greatest writers of the the twentieth century.
Over seventy years since his premature death, George Orwell (1903-50) has become one of the most significant figures in western literature. His two dystopian masterpieces, Animal Farm (1945) and Nineteen Eighty-Four (1949) have together sold over 40 million copies. Even now, he continues to exert a decisive influence on our understanding of international power-politics.
D.J. Taylor's new biography, the first full-length study for 20 years, draws on a wide range of previously unseen material - newly-discovered letters to old girlfriends and professional colleagues, the recollections of the dwindling band of people who remember him, new information about his life in the early 1930s - to produce a definitive portrait of this complex, driven and self-mythologising man. -

On Nineteen Eighty-Four - Books About Books - A Biography, Book 1 Д. Дж. Тейлор
ISBN: 9781974979974 Язык: Английский Since its publication nearly seventy years ago, George Orwell's 1984 has been regarded as one of the most influential novels of the modern age. Politicians have testified to its influence on their intellectual identities, rock musicians have made records about it, TV viewers watch a reality show named for it, and a White House spokesperson tells of «alternative facts.» The world we live in is often described as an Orwellian one, awash in inescapable surveillance and invasions of privacy. On 1984 dives deep into Orwell's life to chart his earlier writings and key moments in his youth, such as his years at a boarding school that's strict and charismatic headmaster shaped the idea of Big Brother. Taylor tells the story of the writing of the book, taking listeners to the Scottish island of Jura, where Orwell, newly famous thanks to Animal Farm but coping with personal tragedy and rapidly declining health, struggled to finish 1984. Published during the cold war-a term Orwell coined-Taylor elucidates the environmental influences on the book. Then he examines 1984's post-publication life, including its role as a tool to understand our language, politics, and government.
