Ramón Buenaventura Poradie kníh (chronologicky)

"In Silverview, John le Carré turns his focus to the world that occupied his writing for the past sixty years--the secret world itself. Julian Lawndsley has renounced his high-flying job in the city for a simpler life running a bookshop in a small English seaside town. But only a couple of months into his new career, Julian's evening is disrupted by a visitor. Edward, a Polish émigré living in Silverview, the big house on the edge of town, seems to know a lot about Julian's family and is rather too interested in the inner workings of his modest new enterprise. When a letter turns up at the door of a spy chief in London warning him of a dangerous leak, the investigations lead him to this quiet town by the sea . . . Silverview is the mesmerizing story of an encounter between innocence and experience and between public duty and private morals. In his inimitable voice John le Carré, the greatest chronicler of our age, seeks to answer the question of what we truly owe to the people we love."--

Die Tatsachen - das sind die faktischen Erlebnisse und Erfahrungen des Autors, aus denen die fiktiven Personen und Handlungen seiner Romane entstanden sind: die Jugend im jüdischen Kleinbürgermilieu, der erste Zusammenstoß mit dem Antisemitismus, die Katastrophe einer Ehe und Erschütterungen durch den Vietnamkrieg. Und mit Verblüffung erkennt der Leser, in welchem Maße die Welt im Roman von Philip Roth der Wirklichkeit entspricht.

The cryptic question of what really happened to Russia's royal family on July 16, 1918, is answered in this sensational bestseller that is predicated on Rasputin's prophecy that the murder of the Romanovs was not the final chapter in their story.

'Subtle, funny and furious' Observer. What if a lookalike stranger stole your name, hijacked your biography, and went about the world pretending to be you? Startlingly, Philip Roth meets a man in Jerusalem called Philip Roth who has been touring Israel - riding high on the author's reputation - preaching a bizarre reverse-exodus of the Jews, encouraging them to return to their ancestral homes in Europe. Roth decides to stop him, even if that means impersonating the impersonator. Operation Shylock is at once spy story, political thriller, meditation on identity and unfathomable journey through a volatile, frightening middle-east.
