162. Steel Danielle. Love Poems. - London: Sphere, 2006. - 251 p.

От издателя: This is a special book about special people. People who have loved me, and whom I have loved. People who have brought me joy beyond measure, and sometimes incredible pain. People I have hurt, sometimes more than I can bear to think about. People who have hurt me, sometimes more than they know. Yet each of their gifts has been precious, each moment treasured, each face, each smile, each victory, each defeat woven into the fiber of my being. In retrospect, all of it is beautiful, because we cared so much. In essence, this book covers fifteen years of my life, and a handful of precious people who mean, and have meant everything to me. This book is written for them.

163. Stein Gertrude. The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas. - London: Penguin Books, 2009. - 272 p.

Аннотация: Гертруда Стайн (1874-1946) - выдающаяся писательница, первопроходец литературы модерна. Писатели и художники, деятели культуры, чьими усилиями было "сформировано выражение лица" XX века, пройдут чередой по страницам этой книги. Этот роман можно читать по-разному - как художественный справочник и путеводитель по авангардным мастерским и подмосткам Парижа, как историческое повествование и, наконец, как психологический стилистический шедевр.

164. Stevenson Robert Louis. The Complete Stories: Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and Nineteen Other Tales / Edited, with an Introduction and Notes, by Barry Menikoff. - New York: The Modern Library, 2002. - 810 p.

От издателя: The complexity and range of Robert Louis Stevenson’s short fiction reveals his genius perhaps more than any other medium. Here, leading Stevenson scholar Barry Menikoff arranges and introduces the complete selection of Stevenson’s brilliant stories, including the famed masterpiece Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, as well as “The Beach of Falesá” and Stevenson’s previously uncollected stories. Arthur Conan Doyle has written that “[Stevenson’s] short stories are certain to retain their position in English literature. His serious rivals are few indeed.”


165. Stillings Marianne. Killer Charms. - New York: Avon Books, 2008. - 377 p.

От издателя: If he could really see the future…

Logan Sinclair is nothing but a fraud. Or at least that's what Inspector Andie Darling, undercover on the streets of San Francisco, is determined to prove. Sure, the sexy Scotsman may say he's a clairvoyant, but Andie's never believed in second sight — or love at first sight. So why does his sweet talk turn her into a lovestruck fool?

He'd know that Andie Darling always gets her man…

Getting the goods on the elusive con man would get Andie out of boring Vice and into Homicide, yet all she can think about is getting into Logan's arms. But juggling her job and her heart leaves her with little time to protect herself from a crazed killer hot on her heels. Logan would love to help Andie — and get closer to her — but charm might not be enough to save them now…

170. Tearne Roma. Bone China / Tearne Roma. - London: Harper Perennial, 2009. - 401 p.

От издателя: Like her first novel, Mosquito, Tearne's initially engrossing newest is rooted in strife-torn 20th-century Ceylon/Sri Lanka. This time she tackles a three-generation family saga, the island's independence from Britain and subsequent civil war, with mixed results. By 1939, Aloysius de Silva has gambled away most of wife Grace's inherited wealth, and his recklessness has far-reaching consequences. The appropriately named Grace sits at the heart of the story; equally clear-minded and romantic, she has her hands full with her children: Jacob and Christopher's aspirations are snuffed out by the financial losses; Thornton relies on charm and a winning smile; Alicia is a gifted pianist with big dreams; and quiet Frieda struggles to find an identity for herself in her vivacious family. Later comes Savitha, who marries Thornton and captures Grace's heart. There's much love in this family, and much tragedy around them, but by the time Thornton, Savitha and their daughter, Meeka, follow Thornton's brothers to the U.K., the story becomes a less inspired immigrant story. Tearne describes the beauty and devastation of Sri Lanka with passion and insight, but things quickly get dull in the U.K.
